Towa Route Walkthrough
NOTES & TIPS:
- Towa’s route is locked at the start of the game and will unlock after completing either Takeru, Yael, or Ango’s routes. There is only one outcome for Towa’s route.
- Towa’s route a lot of overlap with Ango’s route, though I recommend playing this path before Towa’s.
- Completing all of the endings in the game unlocks a special Epilogue.
- After completing the epilogue once, Staff Comments and Standing Portraits unlock.
- Lkyt contains heavy themes that may be uncomfortable for some players, I have noted all relevant content warnings at the start of each path.
