Route Details & Tips
- Lucas’s route is playable from the start of the game, however his Salvation End is locked until you complete the finale of the game.
- This route has three main endings (Despair I & II, and Salvation). There are also three Lucas specific bad ends and two common route bad ends. All are included in this guide.
- Because of the nature of the game, many of the storylines get pretty dark, so I have included content warnings where appropriate. These contain mild spoilers, so you will need to click to reveal them.
Route Restrictions/Play Order
- Mathis, Lucas, and Scien’s routes are playable from the start, with Yves unlocking after completing the other three’s Despair II ends.
- You can play Mathis, Lucas, and Scien in any order you want and I highly recommend doing your first playthrough blind (it’s more fun that way).
- But, if you want a recommended order, click below to see my suggestion:
