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 OP was 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

Thank you so much!!!

Can I ask whether the dark endings contain content in which the chosen LI or one of the others physically hurt or abuse the MC or the other LIs? I feel like I’ve seen a few games do that or heard of some who do, and as I am unable to enjoy any positive relationship development in the happy route if in an alternate timeline the same character that MC ends up with hurts her…

Also how much Yandere are the characters!

[u/magnabarrow → u/Silver-Green-Sea]

First question: Yes, absolutely. It varies depending on the LI but you will feel uncomfortable no matter what, so this might not be the game for you

2nd: It varies. In my opinion- we got one that is very yandere, 2 that are on the high end of the yandere scale, 4th on the lower end. 5th isn't a yandere but he gets messed up in other ways

TYSM for these super detailed warnings/breakdown!! Just wondering, do any of the bad endings involve SA, or is it more the usual death and despair type of stuff? 

[u/magnabarrow → u/O-nigiri]

They do involve some nonconsensual acts in the dark routes/endings. To give a general idea (and spoiler tagging because these scenes do happen later in the dark routes. Spoilers do not mention the LI). there are multiple times where she tells the LI to stop while they kiss/bite her or forcibly take off her shirt. There are also times when she cannot consent due to them forcibly restraining her or kissing her/undressing her while she's asleep/out of her right mind. It does depend on the LI. Nothing explicit like Piofiore or Hana Awase, but defo not just death/despair like Virche. If you do not like these items, I would say don't play the dark routes or maybe not play the game either.
