Chapter Objective
Start with the safe goal before looking at cleanup or achievement notes.
Chapter 3
The Kiss
Stay calm through the kiss sequence and avoid skipping prompts or dialogue.
Step-By-Step Route
This route is written for a first playthrough: useful, cautious, and light on late-story spoilers.
Clear optional prompts
This is a short scene, but short scenes often hide missables. If the game rewards duration or clean timing, commit to the prompt rhythm and do not button-mash through the moment.
Advance only after the final sweep
Before leaving, check whether dialogue has changed, whether an object can be inspected twice, and whether the chapter seems to be asking for a clean performance.
Achievement And Cleanup Notes
The safest strategy is to track likely missables without claiming unverified hidden flags.
What to watch
French Connection-style searches belong here because the chapter is built around the kiss action.
Light to moderate. It names the scene but avoids later relationship outcomes.
Use this page during a first run if you want route confidence without reading ending explanations.
Log the cue
If a song stands out, write down the scene and compare it later with the full songs list and songs-by-chapter page.
