Ahhhhhh, thank you SO much!!! I'm super jazzed that you not only decided to play the game, but then also to create an account to comment and type up your thoughts is too sweet, I can't! Thank you thank you—I'm so happy that you've enjoyed the game and chars and story so far!! 😭💕
LOL YOUR QUESTION. It sounds like you've completed Arc 1! If you watch through the credits after Arc 1 is over, a new scene will start up. It'll seem similar to a scene you've already seen, but just slightly different. And then when the scene is over, Iggy will call Genzou and after that you'll get a big ol' "Arc 2" screen and Arc 2 will officially start. I'm realizing it's perhaps not clear enough that you need to wait after the credits once Arc 1 is complete 💦 I'm going to try to think of a way to make it more clear that even though the credits appear, the game isn't over yet guhhh. I'll give this some thought and try to come up with something ldkjlajkdaf
But yes, you still have 3 more arcs to play! (one for each of the friends) and each one has its own accompanying cinematic ending sequence. Re: the choices and such—none of the choices you make affect the individual endings for each arc (each arc will always end the same way); however, they will slowly add up to influence the final ending and epilogue of Arc 5 once it's out (I'm still working on that one!). So no matter what choices you make, you're not missing anything super integral within each arc except for just some different dialogue for the most part (and game overs, but game overs don't affect gameplay at all!). My general advice when it comes to the choices is to just be relatively friendly(?) towards the char(s) you like the most and you should end up being able to get the ending for the char you like 🤭💕 (there will be a total of 5 different possible endings / epilogues at the end of Arc 5).
At any rate, I hope this explanation helps!!! Just keep watching after the credits and Arc 2 will start (and Arc 3 and Arc 4 subsequently after the credits for each previous arc, as well). But let me know if anything is still unclear or if you have any other questions!! I am happy to answer them! Thank you again so much for playing and for your lovely words!! And I hope if you continue to play the rest of the arcs, you'll enjoy them, too!! 🥰
