I just can't find the way to get the perfect ending... I know it's probably connected to the spell somehow, but I still can't find it... It was a great game regardless! I was a big fan of the original game, but it always bugged me how there was no option to save the gang. Now I can finally make the dream come true :^) This is also beyond amazing for a fan game, I'd even go as far as saying it's better than the original. Bigger map, more story, alive friends... What more can one ask for?
I'm so glad you liked it. The perfect ending involves needing all six character cards as well as the spell. You get a character card for saving a character from a certain predicament.
There's also lots of stuff to discover, such as an unlockable hell mode for finishing hard, alternate costumes for Hiroshi and several cheats (which can be found in a notepad file in the install folder) Also two fun easter eggs are constantly clicking on the bathroom door before you first encounter the Oni as well as an alternate Mika death scene (which is my favorite) in the basement of the Old Building (Save Anna but don't get Mika the compression kit)
