Unum Route

- Theme: Obedience and the meaning behind the Garden's structure.
- Gameplay: Standard visual novel choices focusing on loyalty and connection.
Septem Route
- Focus: Musae and the seven Symbols.
- Theme: Authority, creation, and the numerical motifs of the world.
- Gameplay: Unraveling the mysteries of the Symbols and the Creator.
Nulla Route

How to Access Specific Routes
Accessing the route you want requires consistency in your dialogue choices. The game tracks your affinity with Unum, Septem, and Nulla based on how you respond to them during key story moments.
| Route | Key Strategy | Early Warning Signs |
|---|---|---|
| Unum | Prioritize Unum in all character-focused decisions. | Scenes focus heavily on your relationship with Unum. |
| Septem | Consistently choose options that favor Septem or investigate the Symbols. | Dialogue shifts toward the Creator and the number seven. |
| Nulla | Focus on Nulla and ask questions about memory or the void. | The narrative becomes abstract and focuses on identity. |
Play Through Act 1
Use the opening act to establish a baseline. Pay attention to how the game presents Unum, Septem, and Nulla. When prompted to choose who to spend time with or trust, start leaning toward your preferred character.
Make Route-Defining Choices
In Act 2, the story separates significantly. If you want the Septem Route (for Musae), always select dialogue options that support Septem's perspective or show interest in the Symbols.
Maintain Consistency
Avoid switching your attention between characters mid-route. If you start favoring Septem, keep doing so until the route branches clearly. Switching choices can lock you out of specific endings or lead to bad outcomes.
Watch for Branch Points
The game will not always explicitly state "This is a route choice." Look for subtle shifts in the narrative tone. If the story begins focusing heavily on a specific character's trauma or secrets, you are likely on their route.
The Nulla Memory Path Warning
While the Septem route is the primary path for Musae, the Nulla route offers a unique gameplay experience that requires caution. This section is critical for players exploring Nulla's story.
The Nulla Memory Path includes a mechanic that can overwrite or manipulate your save files. Before entering this specific branch, back up your save data or use a separate save slot to preserve your progress on other routes.
| Feature | Standard Routes | Nulla Memory Path |
|---|---|---|
| Progression | Linear choices and branches. | Non-linear, relies on memory triggers. |
| Save System | Standard read/write saves. | Can modify existing save data. |
| Replayability | High (15+ endings). | Requires careful save management. |
| Risk Level | Low. | High (Data loss risk). |
Reach Nulla's Act 2 Content
Progress through the story while prioritizing Nulla until you reach the specific Act 2 material associated with her route.
Create a Backup Save
Before interacting with any "Memory" options, create a manual save in a new slot. Do not overwrite your main file.
Enter the Memory Branch
Follow the prompts that appear distinct from normal dialogue. These often involve questioning reality or past events.
Complete the Sequence
Follow the alternate path to its conclusion. Be aware that this may unlock specific lore or endings inaccessible via standard play.
