Click to reveal tips
- There are 3 types of endings in Sympathy Kiss: Perfect End, Work End, and Love End.
- For the Perfect End you will need to keep the Work and Love stats equal.
- For the Work or Love Ends you will need to have the corresponding stat higher than the other by the end of the route.
- There are 3 types of in game choices you can make in Sympathy Kiss
- Love/Work choices: These raise either the Love or Work stats meter. There are usually 4 options to choose from that correspond with either stat. The best choices for these have a visual catch of a colored tulip. Blue tulips correspond to Work choices and Pink for Love choices. Larger tulips indicate the best choice for that corresponding stat.
- Emotion Select choices: These choices do not raise affection or stats. But, they let you choose between 2 emotions to react to a character action. You can choose whichever option you want without consequence.
- Normal Choices: These do not effect your endings and are more or less just flavor text. Pick whatever you want.
- There are 6 romance routes and 2 Hidden romance routes in Sympathy Kiss.
- Saotome, Minato, Kobase, Yoshioka, and Tainaka are achievable from the start of the game.
- Usui’s route is achievable after completing at least one Perfect End for any of the first five love interests.
