spoiler modes
Four-level spoiler-safe framework
The site is spoiler-safe by default. Route facts stay generic until verified and intentionally shown at the right spoiler level.
Blind First Run
Explore before confirming objectives; route-specific details stay hidden.
Use this for setup, broad mechanics, and verification status only.
Nudge Mode
This page can flag that a decision may matter without naming the outcome.
Useful when you want non-specific warnings without route consequences.
Route Mode
Exact route choices appear only after verification.
Use this for reproduced route steps once chapter and scene context is proven.
Full Spoiler Mode
Full consequences remain locked until verified and intentionally spoiler-gated.
Death, ending, hidden-path, and recovery specifics require explicit spoiler context.
roadmap unknowns
Completion estimates stay pending until routes are proven
This table is intentionally conservative: no guessed runtime, minimum playthrough count, route lock, trophy name, ending count, or collectible total.
Estimated completion time
Unknown / pending
No runtime or completionist hour estimate is guessed before verified playthrough logs exist.
Minimum playthroughs
Pending verification
Minimum runs depend on endings, survivals, collectibles, and trophy conflicts that are not proven yet.
Turning Points rewinds
Pending verification
Turning Points may reduce replay, but exact rewind savings and locks need route testing.
Goals that may combine
Save Everyone, collectibles, endings, trophies
Marked pending route conflict verification until these goals are tested together.
