Getting Started (Basic Tips)
So the game warns immediately that you could receive bad ends if you let your Loneliness or your Curiosity get too high. It should be noted for the neurotic of us that you do not immediately lose if you let your Loneliness get too high, as visits from your sisters will restart the meter.

However, if you are visited by them 5 times - even with correctly keeping your story straight - you will get an ending. You do not need to tell them "correct" answers, but you must remember your lies, so they don't catch you out.

The game lasts 40 weeks.

There is a hidden Aphrodite affection meter, that will become unlocked, along with her special activity on week 2.

Your Husband Eros will visit you on set weeks to lower your meters. Sometimes this will be based on your choice to questions, and sometimes this will just be default done.

Hera, Hestia, Zeus and Hades are the only gods without set activities, and you must either "Pray to the Gods" (which will give you a random plus to a god) or "Prepare an Offering" and specifically pick them. If you want to give them something tangible, you must do a corresponding activity earlier that week to unlock an answer other than "My Thoughts and Prayers".

Unless specific requirements are met, the following choices are considered ending-locking choices:
  • "Crouch behind statue" and "Hide under chaise"
Good End 1 - "Patience Prevails" and "Ascension"
Ascension ending and Patience Prevails ending.

Essentially, be a good wife. Don't look at your husband, don't eavesdrop, make the Gods happy, and don't let your loneliness or curiosity get too high. Tend to the livestock and roam the estate, with the occasional curiosity lowering for all 40 weeks. I've juggled it so you should only really need 1 or 2 visits from your sisters.

  • Fabric or Betrothal
  • Thank the voice or Stay Quiet
  • Go to bed or Resist
  • Let him leave or Ask him to stay
  • The Fields or The Pasture or The Forest
  • Comply or Deny
  • I was looking forward... or I was curious...
  • Lonely or Productive
  • Yes or No
  • Ask more or Share memories
  • Speak about loneliness or Stay Quiet
  • Have you been with someone else or Why save me
  • Stay or Eavesdrop
  • Retreat or Eavesdrop
  • Stay inside or Eavesdrop
  • Offer comfort or Ask about family
  • Stay inside or Eavesdrop
  • Crouch behind statue or Hide under the bed
  • Describe him There is no right or wrong answer to this, but you must remember your choices, because your sisters will test you on it every visit. The canon answer is younger, blonde haired, and blue eyes. I also always answer this way, because it's easier to remember after you've finally seen him.
Good End 2 - "Devoted Daughter-in-Law"
Essentially here, you need to "Adhere to Beauty Regime" as much as possible, without obviously messing up your meters too much.

Then when prompted to either:

  • Crouch behind statue or Hide under bed

Pick Crouch behind statue and get caught. If your Aphrodite affection is high enough, she will let you go.
Neutral End 1 - "Curiosity Killed the Cat"
Fairly basic. Allow your curiosity meter to fill up to max - this can be boosted significantly by roaming the estate and asking your husband questions whenever given the choice, whilst avoiding ending-locking answers like "Take a peek" or "Hide under the chaise".
Neutral End 2 - "Marriage Counselor"
Eavesdrop whenever you can, and when prompted where to hide - hide Under the chaise in order to see Zeus. This will allow you to recognise Hera in another eavesdropping scene and trigger this ending.
Bad End 1 - "A Bad Start"
Very simple. Eavesdrop and then Peek the first chance you get.
Bad End 2 - "Shoddy Shepard"
Follow the guide section towards the "True Ending" but do not raise Artemis' affection level. When their turn to help you in the tasks arrives, they will not help and this ending will be triggered.
Bad End 3 - "Third Time Wasn't The Charm"
Follow the guide on how to achieve the "True End" but neglect to fill Zeus' affection meter. He will not help you with the task, and it will trigger this end.
Bad End 4 - "All Hope Lost"
Follow the guide on how to achieve the "True End" but fail to raise either Dionysus or Hestia's affection meters. Then when the task appears, they will not help, and this end will trigger.
Bad End 5 - "Bringer of Destruction"
Follow the guide section to the "True Ending" but do not gain affection for Persephone. When her part in the trial arrives, she will not help and this end will trigger.
Bad End 6 - "Pandora's Box"
Follow the guide on achieving the "True End" but fail to fill Hades' affection meter. He will not help you with the task, and this ending will trigger instead.
Bad End 7 - "Runaway"
Be uninterested in your husband. The choices that matter here are:

  • Thank the voice or Stay quiet
  • Go to bed or Resist
  • Let him leave or Ask him to stay
  • Comply or Deny
  • Lonely or Productive
  • Yes or No

You should run away at this point.
True End - "History Buff" "Tried and True"
Pass all of Aphrodite's trials and achieve the true end.

This one is tough. You need to max out your favour with the gods, until their circle/meter turns golden. As such, you'll be raising your Loneliness meter a lot in the process and therefore dealing with your sisters a lot. Do not "Roam the estate" and essentially ignore your meter. There is just enough space to brute force 3 "Prepare an Offering" every week. A reminder that the sisters will appear 5 times before the "bad" ending. You have 5 resets, and 40 weeks.

  • Take care not to trap yourself in ending-locking choices, but any story choices are not important as long as you are there - so feel free to eavesdrop.

  • As of right now, Zeus is the hardest god to max, and I am currently unsure if Zeus' needs to be maxed or just high. So focus on him last.

Demeter / Artemis / Dionysus - will be filled automatically as you prepare the offerings for the other gods.

Hera / Hades / Zeus - will have +3 for every offering. They don't especially like anything, so they take longer.

Hestia / Persephone - Hestia likes everything and will +6 for every gift. Persephone, obviously, likes flowers. You will miss a "Prepare an Offering" once a week for Persephone in order to get the flower arrangement for her, but it is still advisable to miss the offering getting the flowers, as simply visiting the gardens will increase her affection.

Aphrodite - Aphrodite's hidden affection meter is not considered in this task. Ignore her beauty regime.

God
Affection needed
Demeter
100
Artemis
100
Dionysus
35
Hera
30
Hestia
30
Hades
30
Zeus
100
Persephone
60

Disclaimer: Albeit these are the numbers people's affection meters turn gold, they are not the values you need. I have never managed a full-golden board, and have still gotten the true ending.

When you have "maxed" all of them, and your loneliness reaches max and you peek on Eros:

You will be taken by Aphrodite. This may feel familiar to the bad end found early in the game, but this time she will give you some tasks. Demeter, Artemis, Zeus, Dionysus, Hestia, Persephone and Hades will help you complete the goals, based on your favour with them.

If you are missing a certain god, you will receive the bad end associated with the task
If you are not missing a god, the tasks will be completed and you will receive both the achievements "History Buff" and "Tried and True".
"Live and Let Live" / "No Mercy"
Max out your loneliness meter 5 times to trigger this choice/achievement. Disclaimer: It might be sped up by getting your previous answers wrong when your sisters ask you to confirm your lies about your husband. I haven't confirmed this yet.

You must be lonely 5 times, which will prompt Psyche to not trust her husband anymore. When Psyche calms down, you will be given the choice:

  • Get Revenge or Forgive Them

Get Revenge triggers "No Mercy"
Forgive Them triggers "Live and Let Live"
"Myth Buster"
Complete the game with an ending other than the true ending. Good endings do not count as the true ending.

I couldnt get bad ending version 6 until I chose to "ignore" the sisters and "not ask about eros" in the true route

Make sure you aren't raising your affinity with Aphrodite! It doesn't need to be that high! And make sure you're allowing your Loneliness meter to get high enough to see your sisters a bunch until you peek at your husband! If you get Good Ending 1 - it's because you've lowered your loneliness and got to the end of the 40 weeks without peeking. If you get Good Ending 2 - it's because you've focused on Aphrodite.

To get True Ending, you need to IGNORE your loneliness meter. Just spend all your time praying to the gods and giving them offerings. Ignore your loneliness and ignore Aphrodite. Getting to 40 weeks and getting Aphrodite affinity will override getting the True Ending.

You gotta make sure your sisters visit you until you peek, WITH Gods at 100%, but NOT Aphrodite.

I can't get the True Ending. It's giving me Good Ending 1 & 2 instead even though all the God's are at 100%.
