Walkthrough
  1. 1
    April 9th: After exiting the subway, you'll get a tutorial. Head to your new lodging. Speak to the police officer (press X) for directions to Sojiro Sakura's place, Leblanc. Enter the alley with the mother and daughter. Find the entrance to Leblanc. Meet Sojiro Sakura, who shows you to your messy room. Start cleaning your room. After Sojiro checks in, go to bed. Experience a flashback and enter the Velvet Room, meeting Igor, Caroline, and Justine.
  2. 2
    April 10th: Sojiro takes you to school to meet the principal and your teacher, Sadayo Kawakami. Witness scenes involving an accident and prosecutor Sae Niijima. Back at Leblanc, Sojiro gives you a diary to save your game. Hear the cafe phone ringing, pick it up, and go outside to flip the 'Closed' sign. Head back inside and go to bed.
  3. 3
    April 11th: Speak with Sojiro and eat the curry he made. Exit Leblanc and take the subway to Shibuya Station. Navigate the station: go upstairs, U-turn, pass the turnstile, head north to escalators/stairs. Take the right exit to Station Square. Go through the 'Teikyu' opening, up stairs, through the turnstile to the Ginza Line platform. Board the train to Aoyama-Itchome. Exit and meet a vulgar boy.
  4. 4
    Mysterious Castle: Walk with the boy to what appears to be the school, but it's a different place. Suits of armor take you to a cell. Examine your surroundings to trigger a scene and enter the first dungeon.
Tips
  • Use the upper right of your screen for hints on where to go.
  • Save your game often using the diary provided by Sojiro. Look for the 'Options' command.
  • Pay attention to the map icons, though many will be inaccessible initially.
