Intro
UPDATE: ERROR.
This guide follows the SFW base game ONLY. This is because the NSFW DLC CGs are not saved when you unlock them, and because the DLC prevents you from being able to unlock the 2nd and 15th (2nd to last) CGs with it installed.
I'm not sure why the DLC does this, but it does. If you want those 2 CGs and you don't want to compromise your experience with the NSFW patch - you can go through this guide as normal, then uninstall the DLC and play the "Elyon Good Ending" and the "Elyon/Yvoress True Ending" again - which will pop the last two.

As always with my guides, here are some things to keep in mind as you delve into the game:

  • 2 of the 7 endings are closed off until you complete the game once. When you've finished it once, the choice will appear alongside where you would normally go to the whispers, or the screaming man. Note: This option still unlocks in old saves from your first playthrough, as if it's a new save.

  • There are only 2 romance options - Yvoress and Elyon. Elyon has 3 endings, and Yvoress has two, for a total of 5, with another 2 endings in the "mystery" category where you aren't really romancing anybody.

  • There are actually "dead ends" in this game. Following the guides will avoid them, but it's worth mentioning here that they do in fact exist - and are usually indicated by the narrator/Alfonso being confused about the scenario and asking you to go back and fix it.

  • I personally recommend doing Elyon's route first, then Yvoress' and then the mystery route - as this is the order of the CG appearance, and sets up the world in the best way.

Good luck with it, Lime! I'm glad the guide has helped so far, and good luck getting those last two CGs! :MinamiCatHeart:

Ohhh, thank you very much for finding that solution and explaining it to me then. I really appreciate that you took the time to help!! Will uninstall the DLC now :zagpls::yetuamazed:

Scratch that! Another user has mentioned this issue - Basically if you install the NSFW DLC, it'll actually completely replace the SFW CGs, so you can't acquire 2 and 15 with the DLC installed. I'm not sure why this is the case, but if you want them, you can uninstall the DLC and just quickly skip through the game on auto to pick them up - but those are the two routes you need for them.

I'll add a note about it now.

Hey there! So Elyon's Good Ending (the first route) should get you the 2nd CG and the Elyon/Yvoress - True Ending (6th Route) should get you the 15th CG.

I'm not sure where you've gone wrong but I've just replayed the story and gotten them both ok with those route options. Have you got the 18+ DLC? That may change things as that came out after I wrote the guide and may change CG order

Hey I followed this guide (which has been so helpful btw - thank you!) in full but am somehow missing two CGs? The second one and the second-last one. Could you please tell me what I've done wrong lol?

Damn, you're completely right - @Мизантроп. I copy pasted the endings as I reformatted them and completely forgot to edit after that part. Thanks for picking it up!

Following your instructions for Elyon's bad ending the game already ends after the choice "Ignore the question." :lunar2019deadpanpig:

Thank YOU for the great game, devs! I'll amend that note right now :Hearty:

Thank you for writing a guide! We've squashed the bug in Yvoress ending, so the ending should proceed as normal now :)

@Elphie honestly there isn't that much of a difference! I just wanted to call it the "Alternative" ending because I didn't want to spoil that it was the author ending where you meet the writer. I'll instead change it to "1 and 2" just to avoid future confusion :Hearty:

And thank you for your help with CG #5! I'll add it now and credit you with the find.
