even if TEMPEST walkthrough and guide

even if TEMPEST is a fairly straightforward game to get through; as noted in our review, the game is mostly linear. There are a few places where you can reach bad ends, though, so be sure to save frequently!

Let’s get into the full walkthrough and guide to the game, then!

General route progression information: Crius and Tyril’s routes are the only ones available initially in even if TEMPEST. Their routes do not outweigh each other in terms of spoilers or story significance, so choose either to start off with. The final chapters of each route are not available until seeing the credits roll by playing through the four previous chapters for all four main love interests. A single chapter for the secret love interest will then unlock once all five chapters of the four main love interests have been played to completion.

Suggestion: Manually save often to prevent having to redo chapters. Make use of the manual saves often during the trial segments in particular. When presenting evidence, you’re not allowed to make manual saves, and your autosave is wiped if you hit a bad ending — and they come quick and often!

Final note: To complete the entire gallery when using this walkthrough, once you have gone through each route, go back through them all from their first chapters (unless otherwise noted) and select the choices opposite to the selections that will clear the game normally. The result here is that you will accumulate more black roses than red roses and unlock the “Sad Love Ends”. Tap the Y button to skip previously read text until the CG and early ending occurs by the fourth chapter at the latest.
