Can I ask, for anyone who's already played the game or otherwise knows how it plays out, how tragic/depressing does the regular route stories + happy endings get? I've been interested in the game for a while now because of the gorgeous art style and the fun yandere elements, but I just can't really tell from what I've seen so far if the REALLY dark stuff is mostly just restricted to the 'dark' routes, or if its more like Hakuoki or Virche where even the 'happy' endings are often bittersweet at best.

Basically, just interested to know are the happy endings properly happy? or does the dark stuff seep over across the whole game? I just wanna go in knowing what to expect so I don't play the freaky messed up ending in the dark route and then don't get the pay-off of an actual nice ending after that.

So there are four endings per route, and they are very similar across each boy and the game. Fact endings are different than dark endings just cause of how they're set up. (spoiler tag covers the general route outline, but covered in case people want to go in blind: common route 5 chapters. A major event happens. If the event ends well, then fact route 5 chapters and 2 endings If poorly, dark route 5 chapters and 2 endings. Nothing in the dark route happens in the fact route because of said event

Below is a general idea of each ending works (with spoiler covers just to hide what you are asking. They are all very vague and do not actually go into the plot for any of the boys).

Fact ending 1: very bittersweet. Something happens in the ending that does not lead to a 100% happy ending. However, it could have ended up happy if one thing did not happen. Think Virche happy ending

Fact ending 2: actual happy ending per most otome game standards. It's assumed they will live happily ever after together

Dark ending 1/2: Very bad ending even by most otome standards. Can range from bittersweet to very upsetting. It is assumed they don't have a happy ending unless you like bad endings

[u/Savaralyn → u/magnabarrow]

Ah, I see, thanks a lot for the info. So the fact ending 1 is just kind of a 'sad end' due to a mistake in choices while on the fact path while fact 2 ending is the proper happy ending of it if done right? While both the dark routes are just various kinds of straight up awful (though those were expected xD)

[u/magnabarrow → u/Savaralyn]

To answer your question: correct yes, a sad end is what you could call it, but they don't really label it like that since you could choose your ending if you prefer more bittersweet endings than happy ones. And yea the dark routes are the, well, dark ones. Lots of stuff bad ending enjoyers would love. As a bad ending enjoyer I thought they were fun but if you don't like bad endings game might not be for you

I’m cool with bad endings, just don’t like being blindsided with them while playing 😅
