Characters

Chapters

Due to the branching nature of the visual novel, the chapters aren't listed here strictly in chronological order. For example, Chapter 1 leads to a choice between Chapter 2A and 2B, Chapter 2B leads to a choice between Chapter 3B and 3C, and so on. Youtuber Dedlocko has edited videos of the visual novel paths in the intended narrative order.

Some of the endings aren't listed in the in-game visual novel UI, and as such it isn't clear if they will be available in the final version of the visual novel.
