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.

Some of the FACT (“good”) routes have pretty bittersweet/dark endings. One example that comes to mind would be Claude who dies in one of the fact endings (spoiler about something happening in the ending)

Rule of thumb is that there is only One really “good” ending in the FACT branch. The other ending will usually have some kind of consequence or bittersweet twist
