This source is completly based on the guide found here: http://forums.fuwanovel.net/topic/7624-tomoyo-after-~its-a-wonderful-life~/

This guide has been placed here to make it easier for steam community members to find the guide. So a special thanks to Tiagofvarela from forums.fuwanovel.net.

I will perform changes to this guides if needed so if you guys find an error or like to add something to it feel free to let me know in the comments. I'm currently in the progress of playing the game and editing the guide where needed for the steam version.

Some of the changes to the original guide is that the numbers have been changed due to the fact dates are added the choices and are now numbered based on when they come up for that date. example: choice 2 on june of 30 will be showed like this:

June 30

2. A choice

Explanation


There's one true ending, along with various Bad ends and Variations.

Any choices in the Prologue will not affect the story in any way.

[Talk Time] Refers to a situation where you can talk with whomever you want, or skip altogether by choosing 'study'. For each group of talk topics exhausted, new ones will show up at the next session.
[Fun Time] Refers to a situation where you can choose to play along and see a fun scene or ignore it to skip it altogether.
Clues
This list contains some clues for people that do not want to get spoiled with the correct choices or with what happens.

  • [You are a family, so always act as one, together]
  • [You are willing to do anything for your family, but you have to do it yourself, or there's no meaning]
  • [if the game is really insisting you make a certain choice, then it's probably the right one]
  • [You can do anything if you really try, even the most outrageous things]
Prologue
This section is only meant to help you get an achievement in the prologue it does not contribute towards the true ending.

June 30

Optional for the Achievement "hell yeeeeaaahh":

1. single-phase commutated series-wound motor
2. 155 degrees
3. Diaphragm
Main story: True End & achievements
.png]
This section leads you towards the true ending for tomoyo after and starts after the opening has played.

Note: I plan on adding decisions for the talk events to unlock the achievements for those later.


Required choices are underlined and bold. other choices are optional for achievements.

July 7

1. Check Tomo's bag

July 9

1. In front of the apartments

2. Find her

July 10

1. Quietly endure

July 11

1. "Do it while she's in the middle of cooking" or "Do nothing"

July 14

1. Talk time

2. Fun time

3. Go to where the fireworks are

4. Substitute for Tomoyo

July 15

1. No way

2. Talk Time

July 16

1. Fun Time

2. Talk time

3. Fun Time

4. Sub in for Kanako

July 20

1. Your Choice ('Find another way' will skip choice 2 on this date = bad end)[/b][/u]

2. Listen to her advice

July 21

Optional for achievement: To get the "A single conclusion" achievement, save at this choice and pick "Give up".

After receiving the achievement load the save you just made and continue with the choice below.


1. Keep trying

August 10

1. Tomoyo, Kanako and I

August 12

1. Build a school

August 14

1. Refuse it (Oh please, don't tell me you failed here of all places? Couldn't the wrong choice be more obvious?)

Now you will get sucked into a long story line. After quite some thing brace yourselves for a really long emotional train towards the ending.

By selecting the black box in the middle you will see some pictures that were show towards the ending (obviously those are potential spoilers)
Main story: Bad Ends & Flags
.jpg]
This section contains a description of what bad endings you will encounter if not selecting the correct choice and what to select to prevent it. numbers near the choices direct towards the choice number on that date. for example the one on July 3 is the second choice on that date.

BAD END 1 has two variations. One outside, another inside the apartment.
BAD END 2 has four variations. One with Tomoyo, one by yourself, one with Kanako, and another with Takafumi


July 9

2. I'll search for her*
If you don't choose this you will get locked out of an important choice, leading to a bad end.


July 10

1. Endure it silently*
If you don't do this, you will invariably lead to a bad end later on in the game.


July 14

3. Go to where the fireworks are*
If you don't choose this you will get locked out of an important choice, leading to a bad end.


4. Substitute for Tomoyo*
If you don't choose this you will get locked out of an important choice, leading to a bad end.


July 15

1. No way*
If you don't choose this you will get locked out of an important choice, leading to a bad end.


July 16

4. Sub in for Kanako*
Succeeding at this will make an important choice work.


July 20

1. Your Choice*
Find another way will skip an important choice


2. Listen to her advice*
Ignoring will lead to BAD END 1


July 21

1. Keep trying*
Giving up will lead to BAD END 1.1 (same text, different location)


August 10

1. Tomoyo, Kanako and I*
Choosing any other combination will skip an important choice, leading to BAD END 2 (with variations depending on who you're with)


August 12

1. Build a school*
Think of possible alternatives will lead to BAD END 2 (Always by yourself version)


August 14

1. Refuse it*
Succumbing to sexual temptations will always lead to bad ends, as it should.
BAD END 2 (Always Tomoyo version)

Thanks for posting!

I'm glad you wrote a "hint"-section. I got a surprising ending ("I thought I did everything right!?") so I wanted to take a look at a guide. I didn't want to spoil too much though, so the hints were perfect.

But man, I'm going through a certain part now where I don't know how to feel. Sad, nostalgic, happy, bitter... all of them? This game turns out to be just as moving as the original.
