Illusion of Itehari Tsuyukusa Route Walkthrough

NOTES FOR TSUYUKUSA’S ROUTE

After each playthrough new scenes are added to the Prologue, so I recommend starting each route from New Game each time (for the plot).
Tsuyukus’s route unlocks after you complete any of the main endings for Tobari’s route.
Yori’s route has four endings: 1 Best End, 1 Main Bad End, 2 Early Bad Ends.
To get the final CG for Tsuyukusa, you have to read through his Side Story “Sound of Rainfall” (which unlocks after completing the Best End)

RECOMMENDED PLAY ORDER:

For Story: Tobari > Awayuki > Tsuyukusa > Yori > Yashiro
For Romance: Awayuki > Tobari > Yori > Tsuyukusa > Yashiro
My Personal Play Order: Tobari > Awayuki > Yori > Tsuyukusa > Yashiro
