    Thank you so much. This guide is really helpful.

    1. Aww thanks! Glad it can be of help 💜

  2. Hi I have a question…i don’t quite understand when you said that “happy ending” should be played last. Last as in after i have played all the characters that are available or last as in after i finished all the ending for common route? Thank you :3

    1. Hey 😊 That’s a good question! I mention my recommended play order for the entire game here: https://wp.me/p8XwUF-AU

      But to quickly answer your question: even though you can play the happy ending once you’ve done everything else in the common route, I recommend playing it right at the end of the game (along with Summer Camp). It’ll give you the best experience of the story and let you end on a sweet note 💜 Completely up to you, but I found that’s the best order to play in. Hope that helps!
