If you're anything like me, you're probably not the best at getting the girls. This guide should help with that.

Introduction
So you've heard of this game, you know it's got adult themes from the fact that it has a disclaimer attached. This is due to the more... adult themes occuring later on in the game. This guide should help you with getting those girls into those certain themes later on.

For those of you asking about Monika, the answer is, for some reason, she doesn't have a romance pathway. Silly oversight IMO, since she's a pretty cool character, oh well.

Anyway, the first thing I should mention that is true of all characters is that in order to max out your relationship with them, you must produce poems that they approve of. Each poem you make will gain the approval of one of the three girls. I'm not going to put down the specifics of this, since I've seen another guide floating round with all the words and their score for each girl, which you can check out if you want. You should be able to do fine if you get to know the girls, since word preferences are very based on their personality.

Secondly, the first part of the game is purely to "level up" people's affections to you. Assuming you gained enough affection with them, you can then "lock in" your choice by selecting the speciific choice when asked. I've prompted where that is on the guide for each person. If a person has not gained enough affection with you, then it will not lock in, and the game will continue. If you don't lock in with anyone, the game's bad ending will play. The order in which you can lock in is Sayori--Yuri-->Natsuki.
Read This Before Reading Further
Please try to play the game through to the end once BEFORE following the guide. You'll probably get a lot more out of the game if you let it play through once first. Remember. The game isn't over until the end credits roll.

If you've done so and are still having issues, This guide is based on a what if scenario, where the game works as intented. Not as it does in the actual game. This wasn't intended as a troll, more of a joke guide.
Sayori

Sayori is your happy, friendly childhood friend. She has always been there for you, although until she invited you to the lit club, you two had started to see less and less of each other due to her getting up late for school, and you having interests away from hers. Can you rekindle this friendship into something more?

1st Choice - Sayori!
2nd Choice - Walk with Sayori
3rd Choice - Sayori
4th Choice - I love you (lock in)
5th Choice - Chocolates
6th Choice - Hide
7th Choice - Let's go on an adventure!
8th Choice - Check her leg
Should be impossible to fail from this point out.
Yuri

The shy, awkward one of the club, Yuri has a lot of hidden depths to her that will slowly be revealed through the game. Can you bring her out of her shell and into your life?

1st Choice - Yuri
2nd Choice - Walk with Yuri
3rd Choice - Yuri
4th Choice - Yes (lock in)
5th Choice - Hold her hand
6th Choice - Encourage her
7th Choice - Break the knife
8th Choice - Forever
From here, you can't fail. Best of luck!
Natsuki

Natsuki is the youngest one in the club, and likes cute things and food. She isn't overly fond of being straight up nice, but beneath it all, she has a good heart.
Natsuki needs less affection to get, but this is counterbalanced by having one fewer choice that affects her affection level.

1st Choice - Natsuki
2nd Choice - Irrelevant
3rd Choice - Natsuki
4th Choice - Ask for a date (lock in)
5th Choice - Squid
6th Choice - Offer her your place
7th Choice - Stop him
8th Choice - Marriage
Should be impossible to fail from here.
Conclusion
So there we have it, the three potential pathways in a nutshell with as few spoilers as I can manage. Good luck getting those girls!



P.S. I'm seeing people complaining about some weird bugs and stuff going on. If you start getting weird events, it might be some corrupted or missing files. I'm sure it's not a problem though, so don't worry!

P.P.S. Just to clarify any confusion, you'll know if you have reached an ending because the credits roll. Anything else? Not an ending.

Final note: Please don't post spoilers of any kind in the comments or your comment will be deleted. If you must, use the [] tags.

@Danero It doesn't matter, this is a fake guide anyways, it isn't even as effective nowadays since everyone knows the twist of this game sadly

Did you know that your guide has been published on gameplay.tips and is monetized? If you did not give permission for this, you should contact the site and ask them to take it down.

You sir, have put me through more anguish then the game.

All you need to get CGs is do poems specifically for each girl, doesn't require much skill and charm :P
Kagetane 3 Jan, 2018 @ 5:18pm 
Blanners to see al CGs is not a choice? you think you can do it just playing normal the game? for that you need skills, charm and choice to do it for your happy ending with Sayori.

You seem to be freaking out over something? Not sure why, this is a jolly, happy dating game with some cuties!
Skarauge 29 Dec, 2017 @ 7:25am 
I always switch between Sayori and Yuri (mostly Yuri because sometimes I kinda feel bad for Sayori). Does that mean I will get a bad ending??

Oh man I'm so scared right now, I'm freaking out cuz I know that there's that upcoming "Disturbing" part of the game people have been talking about and I'm worried that I'll get that ending.

BECAUSE IT'S STILL A HAPPY SCHOOL CLUB AND I DON'T WANT ANY DARK TURNS THAT WILL COME PASSING BY

"If you don't lock in with anyone, the game's bad ending will play."
Please don't tell me what I've forgotten when it's right there in the guide. Thanks.
