True End Focused, NON-Spoiler Guide
By AngeVNs
This is based on the full guide by John Hooper/GAce, the translator of THE SHELL series:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRIjrd9zEUpIz7NjwGFM2TFKAbzIxLbfrpHXAxnuz8tBXdJhjnC-ziVXu3BNLhH6A/pub

I wanted to create a spoiler-free version that focuses solely on essential choices, avoids revealing names that could spoil the story, steers clear of bad endings, and excludes optional H-scenes. It also simplifies skipping text, as this visual novel features a vast number of choices.

Kara no Shoujo 1 stands out in the series due to its abundance of potential choices and endings—both normal and bad—making a minimalist true end guide feel especially useful. Reflecting on the trilogy, this guide prioritizes choices that lead to the true ending connecting to KnS2, while emphasizing relationships that remain significant through to the end of KnS3.

For investigation scenes, a good approach is to click every notable object twice. Some dialogue may be necessary to unlock the option to end the investigation.

Normal Ending 1 (REQUIRED to unlock True Ending)
A common trend in the trilogy is needing to finish the first normal ending (NOT bad ending) to be able to access the true route. However, it's still possible to get bad endings on a first read-through so make sure to pay attention to this guide closely.
