ENDING AND CG GUIDE (+ a new build)


Hey guys... Life got busy... But I am alive (barely) (work is killing me though)

I'm a few days late announcing this, but  I released another little update for PuCo! Here's a list of new features and fixes...

  • New sections on the Extras screen! They can only be accessed by achieving Ending 6 though, so... if you'd like to read my detailed (and I do mean detailed) rambling on the development process, I encourage you to take a stab (hehe) at getting that ending.
  • Fixed a typo which occurred after the rollercoaster scene. (Thank you so much Mirai1269!)
  • Fixed a variable error with the endings.

But of course, let's get to what you clicked for. As promised, here's the long-awaited walkthrough for all endings and CGs! 

(spoiler warning here)

ENDINGS WALKTHROUGH

ENDING 1: HIS HAPPY END

  1. Acquire 10 or more affection points across the entire date.
  2. Choose “Accept his proposal.”

ENDING 2: TIL DEATH DO WE PART

  1. Acquire 10 or more affection points across the entire date.
  2. Choose “Reject his proposal.”
  3. Successfully dodge his attack — unfortunately, the correct option is entirely random for every playthrough… you can rollback if you get it wrong.

ENDING 3A: COLD FEET

  1. Acquire 10 or more affection points across the entire date.
  2. Choose “Reject his proposal.”
  3. Fail to dodge his attack (or let the timer run out).

ENDING 3B: DISCPLINARY ACTION

OPTION 1:

  1. Acquire less than 5 affection points across the entire date.

OPTION 2:

  1. Acquire 0 or less affection points across the entire date
  2. Choose “Stay and face him.”

ENDING 4: IN HINDSIGHT

  1. Acquire 0 or less affection points across the entire date.
  2. Choose “Make a run for it.”

ENDING 5: LA CHANCE

  1. Acquire between 5 to 9 (inclusive) affection points throughout the entire date.

ENDING 6: TRUE END

For every key choice throughout the date (after the lunch scene), pick these options:

  1. Haunted house - “Take his hand!” → Will lead to him discussing his HOBBIES.
  2. Arcade - “Return the favour.” OR if you held his hand at the haunted house, “Reject it” → Will lead to him discussing his FAMILY.
  3. Rollercoaster - “Do nothing.” → Will lead to him discussing his MORALITY.

It's important to keep an eye on the affection points counter — like with La Chance, you need to be within the range of 5-9  points by the time Liev and Quinn/MC return to the train station to achieve the True Ending. Any higher and he will propose to you, and any lower, he will kidnap you. 

A tip is to use the lunch conversation to your advantage; you can use it as a "buffer" of sorts to keep you from earning too many points too early. 


CGS WALKTHROUGH 

NB: I apologise in advance for the extremely convoluted way of unlocking CGs 1 and 2… In the early stages of development, I was still figuring out how CGs worked.

#1: a) Obtained at the first gardens scene, by picking “The sky.”

b) Obtained at the first gardens scene, by picking “I’m good. How are you?”

#2:a) Obtained during the lunch scene by paying for both his and your meals.

b) Obtained during the lunch scene by picking any other option.

#3: Obtained if you choose to hold his hand when you are spooked by the worker. 

#4: Obtained if you choose to return the favour for the plushie. 

#5: Additionally obtained if you returned the favour at the arcade. 

#6: Obtained if you do not intervene in the fight. 

#7: Obtained by achieving Ending 1: His Happy End.

#8: Obtained by achieving Ending 2: Til Death do we Part.

#9: Variant 1 - Obtained during either of the good ends (Ending 5: La Chance OR the True Ending). 

Variant 2 - Obtained during any route where Liev kidnaps you (Ending 3A: Cold Feet or 3B: Disciplinary Action).

#10: Obtained during any route where Liev kidnaps you.

#11: Obtained via achieving Ending 4: In Hindsight.

#12: Obtained during either of the good ends.

#13: Obtained via achieving the La Chance ending. 

#14: Obtained by reaching the True Ending.

#15: Additionally obtained by reaching the True Ending.


In conclusion

Hope the walkthroughs help you out! Took me long enough to get them done... 

As for future plans... I want to make a start on that art book! (I also want to draw a new profile picture to get into the holiday spirit, but knowing how busy this year has been... curse you, 40-hour work week!)

That's all for tonight! Take care, and until next time,

- Lucia.
