When you play, occasionally something in the left upper corner will show up saying “Meanwhile” and it’s basically a different POV story where you get to see what’s happening elsewhere meanwhile you’re doing whatever it is you’re doing (hence “Meanwhile Story”) You press the up arrow to access them ^^

I went through ma first meanwhile but wasn’t stated in the walkthrough (Dante) after Prologue 1 Day 1 ended and before they started Day 2.
The start stated the ones stated are manual. What does it mean? I’m pretty sure the one that happened to me wasnt stated and they told.me to press ^. That’s considered manual right? Or was it automatic?

If you’re talking about MS (Meanwhile Story) “The Wind” – that’s automatic.

So I tried to follow this walkthrough and the meanwhile story “questions” never showed up in Chapter 2. Also the game wouldn’t let be select “Anger” for the meanwhile story in Chapter 3. It went auto on reunion. Is this a bug or something.

Hi, Meanwhile Story “Questions” comes after an automatic MS “Bad Omen”. You can manually play this MS by pressing ^ after the automatic one is through.
Edit: Wanted to point out that “Questions” will only prompt if you’ve finished Dante’s route.
MS “Anger” in Chapter 3 comes after the automatic MS “Reunion”.

When I start Nicola chapter 7 with low affinity and low honesty, and follow the choices in the guide, I get the best ending instead of the normal ending. Any tips?

Hi, it doesn’t do that for me. Make sure you’re loading ‘ch7 good’ and skipping ALL the manual ‘Meanwhile Stories’

Hi I love your walkthroughs btw ❤
Just wanted to mention there is a meanwhile story on PROLOGUE 2 – DAY 2 after "-…It’s unusual to see someone so young." called "Mission" I don't know if it's because of another route or not but it wasn't on the list.
Thank you so much for your hard work on these walkthroughs ❤

Hello! Thanks for dropping by!
I believe the Meanwhile Story “Mission” will only be available after finishing Orlok’s route or after finishing four routes in the game. I’ve listed this MS on Gilbert’s and the Finale. I assumed you’ve done Orlok’s before Nicola?
Thanks for pointing it out though.

Hello! Your guide was so helpful for me to get to 100% for Nicola. Thank you so much. I do have a question that may seem silly… I believe I finished playing the first playthrough, which is for Nicola, but I can’t seem to go to the next routes (Dante, Yang, etc.). Am I supposed to automatically be able to play the next route once I finish playing Nicola? I am so lost. Much guidance would be appreciated!

Hello! No prob and you’re welcome!😊
To be able to get to the other routes, you’ll need to start a new game and pick the choices that’ll lead you to another bachelor’s route. Feel free to use my guides to unlock routes for other LI’s. Goodluck and enjoy the rest of the game!

Hello! Thank you so much for doing these walkthroughs. Would be completely lost otherwise! I am finishing my first route in this game, Nicola’s, and I was taking all to wrong options to see the dialogue, when a Meanwhile Story popped up after I chose -> You wouldn’t betray them, instead of -> You’re kind in chapter 4 called Devotion that isn’t in the walkthrough. Does it appear through another route too?
