Can I switch paths?
Current character content is influenced by multiple choices rather than one visible permanent route selection. Some later scenes can still differ based on subsequent choices.
Certain consequences may already be set by earlier decisions.
Check your choices →Am I locked into Pierrot or Harlequin?
There is no single confirmed on-screen route lock in the current guide data. Instead, individual earlier choices are checked again by later character scenes.
Use the path checker above to see which character-related choices your run contains.
Can I see both characters in one run?
The developer lists an “All together” ending involving the protagonist, Pierrot and Harlequin among planned content. That does not mean a completed version of that ending is currently playable.
Community terminology
Some players refer to the planned “All together” content as a poly route. The official itch page itself currently lists an All together ending among planned endings.
Current vs Planned
| Content | Current status |
|---|---|
| Pierrot-related choices/scenes | Playable |
| Harlequin-related choices/scenes | Playable |
| Pierrot named ending | Planned |
| Harlequin named ending | Planned |
| Protagonist ending | Planned |
| All Together ending | Planned |
| Fully completed ending routes | Do not assume yet |
The official page currently treats the script as still in development, and future endings are not fully planned.
