General Playthrough (Passionate vs Innocent Endings)
All choices in this game are very up front and easy to understand in what ending you want to strive for. Each Love Interest (LI) will have a Passionate and Innocent ending. You make your choice by clicking the Fierce or Kind buttons on top of the text box.

From this, selecting more Fierce options will lead to a Passionate ending, same goes for the Kind options leading to their Innocent ending. You don't need to strictly pick one over the other to ensure either ending, this is a point based mechanic where the more Fierce points you have vs Kind points will automatically lean you towards one ending over the other respectively.

How to tell which ending you're heading towards:
On the main screen again at the boutique, click on the options menu -> Profile Icon -> the top line right where you clicked on the options (the cog/gear icon) you'll see the familiar cat and angel icons you've seen for the respective Fierce/Kind options and this is where you can see your points so far



Feel free to venture off and mix up options, you'll unlock the option and ability to reread the route and even read the different ending by going to Character under the Options menu, click on the LI, and go to Story where you'll be able to see all of the chapters so far and you'll see the endings you unlocked thus far and their respective chapters so from here if you got the Innocent ending but don't want to reread ALL of their route to get the Passionate ending, click on Chapter 25 and it'll give you a pop up window possibly asking if you want to Reread or start a New Route (for achievement hunters I'd say your best bet is to stick to New Route, some achievements only unlock if youre actively ON that LI's route). New Route resets points earned so far for any current routes being read, so keep that in mind. Once it's gone through asking if you want to reread vs start a new route, reset points, it's going to ask if you want the Passionate ending or the Innocent one and the game will give you the required points for the one picked, this helps you easily read the other ending without having to go through the entire route again if you don't want to (and there's some achievements this helps out with too).

You do not really lose out on much if you do not want to reread the whole route for a different ending, most of the different options have a few text box differences worth of a change from the Fierce vs Kind options. Now if you want to see the different reactions the LI's would have I'd say it'd be worth it cause some sections may react a bit differently but won't dramatically shift until Chapter 25 where you've already locked into an ending based off your points.
General Achievements
These achievements should be obtainable through any route. I've left the details for each achievement hidden in case you only want help with one, are trying to do as much as you can on your own without assistance, or are referring to other parts of the guide.

Playful Achievement
From picking mostly Fierce options during a full route


Dominatrix Achievement
Start a New Route on any LI's Chapter 25 (I used James' route to get it), choose the Passionate ending, and once loaded into the route you'll pick every Kind option that pops up (you'll need to read all the ending chapters for that route, continuously picking the Kind options, to get this achievement). Likewise if you're reading from the start, pick Fierce options until you get to chapter 25 as you'll be locked into the Passionate ending by then, and start picking Kind options from there to get this achievement. You basically need a HIGH Fierce point score to trigger this and you switch up during the locked in ending.

Angelic Achievement
From picking nothing but Kind options the entire route


Patient Achievment
Start a New Route on any LI's Chapter 25 (I used James' route to get it), choose the Innocent ending, and once loaded into the route you'll pick every Fierce option that pops up (you'll need to read all the ending chapters for that route, continuously picking the Fierce options, to get this achievement). Likewise if you're reading from the start, pick Kind options until you get to chapter 25 as you'll be locked into the Innocent ending by then, and start picking Fierce options from there to get this achievement. You basically need a HIGH Innocent point score to trigger this and you switch up during the locked in ending.

Ending Comments
This is everything I can either remember (I'm making this guide months after reading through half the LIs so if I misremembered how to get something please do correct me cause the goal is to have this be helpful, not misleading).

I don't think it matters but just in case it does for anyone curious, I started off halfway through or finished the first LI I played through doing the required outfits before turning off that feature as I started unlocking a LOT of outfit options and got overwhelmed or confused after a while and just wanted to enjoy the writing and characters. So that's why this guide doesn't feature anything related to the boutique and or outfit requirement help cause while I enjoyed it, my brain could not always pick apart the details or differences it was asking for (it can be pretty lenient in some ways which I appreciated since I didn't always own that exact shade on the example). If there ever comes a time where outfits required for the story or growing the store has achievements I'll double back to try and help out then, but currently at the time of me making this guide those achievements aren't a thing nor are they required of the player to do.

Again I did get help on figuring out how the Patient achievement gets unlocked through the official discord and I tried my best to reexplain it here for those that may not want to join the discord or don't want to have to hunt down help for it.

A big thank you and appreciation for Celianna for helping players out and for the explanations. For anyone that has questions or needs help and doesn't mind deep diving a bit, I'd recommend looking through the itchio and discord as there are forums and information found there that has probably already been answered that you won't find the answer to here on Steam (at least not currently), and this may be due to regional access and restrictions for the game.
