Route Notes:

• The story of Iwakura Aria takes place over five chapters, with a total of 10 endings (8 early ends, 1 true ending, and 1 epilogue). This guide covers how to achieve each ending.
• In addition to the main storyline, there are 6 side stories that can be unlocked over the course of the story. They add context to the story and fill in some of the unanswered plot points from the main story.
  • Some Side Stories unlock after completing certain endings, while others unlock after reading through specific Side Stories.
• Because Iwakura Aria deals with some heavy themes, I decided to note content warnings by chapter instead of one blanket CW section for the entire game.

Save for Ending 3

• Don’t grab the scissors
  • Choosing Grab the scissors leads to Ending 03 “PANDORA’S BOX” (CW: Violence, Mental Instability)

Save for Branching Option

Note: Both options continue the plot, however choosing Listen to Sui creates an opportunity to unlock Ending 04 (also Sui is best girl), if you’re looking to full clear. So, I included both paths in case you want to pick the one that appeals to you.

Unlock CG #6

• I want to know more

Unlock CG #7

Note: There are no required locations to visit in the final Exploration, so you can go wherever you want. The locations indicated in this guide have unique sketchbook interactions that are worth collecting.

Save for Finale Branching

Note: Ending 9 is the finale of the game, so be sure to save it for last as it wraps up the story.

Note: SIDE STORY SOHSUKE 1949 unlocks the final side story AMANE 1949.
