-Many events and item placements in the game are fully random, as confirmed by interviews with the director. Some, like room and item locations are decided when you start a new game, other events are decided when you click on the interaction point or go through the door, those will be noted as best as possible. Some of the RNG events can lead to unavoidable Dead Ends or to some part of the ending requirements being unobtainable, so they may involve loading a save game or starting over, depending on your version. This is because the Win95, WonderSwan, and SFC versions don't support save states on original hardware and the "Continue" option from the main menu may have already locked you into the undesirable outcome.

-There’s a few elements that are different between the different versions, where the original Super Famicom and Win95 versions differ from the PS1, PC, WonderSwan, Deluxe fan patch, and Rewind versions. However, only one of the changes really affects the endings, involving the Cage Key placement, and those will be noted.

-I’ve translated these guides from the official Japanese strategy guide and they’ve all been tested to be fully accurate, removing much of the guesswork in most of the ending guides I’ve seen. These are generally the fastest routes that avoid unnecessary item pickups or events.

-Room and Item names vary between all the English versions (Rewind, various fan patches,) but ones used here are taken from the map I put together that’s meant as a companion for this guide, which can be found here: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3358698516
