ROUTE TIPS & NOTES

• After you finish Rei, Taku, and Madarame‘s routes the option BJD (ball-jointed doll) will become available. This allows you to read Chapter 0, you will access Fujieda’s route through this path.
• Each route has a Euphoria end and a Madness end, along with a few early Game Over ends.
• Slow Damage doesn’t follow the usual visual novel gameplay. Gameplay is split between Exploration and Interrogation modes.
  • In Exploration, you can visit various locations and interact with other characters to collect key phrases that will be used during Interrogations.
  • In Interrogation, you can confront a character and get them to reveal their true desires by presenting the key phrases you collect during Exploration.
  • In lieu of traditional visual novel choices, you will react to situations by choosing Positive or Negative. These choices will shift the story towards either Euphoria or Madness.
