9 R.I.P. Hibiki Walkthrough

Route Notes & Tips

After completing the Prologue, the story splits into four main story path common routes:
- School Ghost Stories: Kureha & Hibiki
- Urban Legends: Koyo & Sena
- Other Realm: Minami & Seiya
- Spirit World: Yukimaro, Koharu & Hidden Character
Recommended order: Kureha, Hibiki, Sena, Koyo, Seiya, Minami, Yukimaro, Koharu, Finale/Hidden Character
- Finale/Hidden Character route unlocks after finishing Minami’s Godly End, Yukimaro, and Koharu’s Heavenly and Godly Ends.
Hibiki’s route has two main endings (Heavenly and Godly), three route specific Bad Ends, and I also included the School Ghost Stories Bad End.
