Day 1 - Route Overview
Day 1 establishes your affinity with each of the five characters through a series of carnival encounters. Your choices in the first 20 minutes determine which routes become available in Day 2.
Key branching points in Day 1 include the entrance interaction with the Ticket Taker, the tent choice, and the evening meal conversation.
Pierrot Route Guide
Select introspective and empathetic options throughout Day 1. In the tent scene, follow the white cloak. During Day 2, choose understanding over resistance to unlock Pierrot's Good Ending.

Interact with the red balloon during the Day 1 carnival opening. Use bold, playful responses in the main tent. Harlequin's route escalates quickly in Day 2, so embrace the chaos rather than resist it.
