Is There a Harlequin Route?
Harlequin has several connected choices and character scenes in build 0.2. This guide groups them as Harlequin-related content rather than treating them as a separate named route unless the game clearly presents one that way.
Is There a Harlequin Ending?
A separate named Harlequin ending isn’t currently covered for build 0.2. Harlequin-related decisions affect character scenes, but that doesn’t by itself make them a separate ending.
Where Does Harlequin Appear?
Character choices, follow / move away, and the room decision.
Street scenes and later tent details that can reflect earlier choices.
