Quick Summary

For a clean Day 2 path:

  1. Rebuild or continue a save where you helped Pierrot.
  2. Avoid food/cake route states unless you are intentionally testing kidnapping content.
  3. Save before Harlequin's Follow him choice.
  4. Save before the room choice between asking for space and letting Pierrot stay.
  5. On the second night, complete blue and cyan tents.
  6. In the blue tent, save before the final/Columbina mirror.
  7. Choose Come closer. if you want hidden scene 2.
  8. Complete purple/Jester after blue and cyan to unlock hidden scene 1 and reach the Chapter 1 endpoint.

Day 2 Recap Questions

If you enter through a recap route, the game asks questions that rebuild your previous state. Treat these as route-state choices:

  • Say you helped Pierrot's cafe injury if you want the game to remember that you heard his private voice.
  • Say you ate circus food if you want to enter the poisoned kidnapping route.
  • Say Pierrot visited if you want the normal Day 2 path rather than a cake/kidnapping state.

For a normal route, rebuild the state as: helped Pierrot, did not eat circus food, and let Pierrot visit.

Harlequin Daytime Choice

Harlequin's most important Day 2 entrance gives you:

  • Move away
  • Follow him

Choose Move away if you want the route to lean toward Carol, Ticket Taker, and broader circus mystery.

Choose Follow him if you want Harlequin's dark tent, route pressure, and later room/mirror callbacks. Save before this choice if you are collecting variations.

Dark Tent Choice

Inside Harlequin's dark tent, the key branch is:

  • Hit him
  • Allow

Hit him is the resistance version of the scene. Allow is the more important tracked state because Harlequin can leave a mark. That mark matters later if Pierrot stays in your room and notices it.

Kidnapping Route

You can reach the kidnapping/storage-room material through food, cake, or recap-state choices.

When Harlequin finds you, these choices are worth tracking:

  • Keep quiet, which lets Harlequin mark you
  • Hold his hand, which can add a later Harlequin mirror detail

This route contains important character content, but the current build does not treat it as a separate confirmed named ending.

Room Visit Choice

After the Day 2 incident, Pierrot appears in your room. The major split is:

  • Yes, I need some space.
  • No, you can stay.

Choose Yes, I need some space. to trigger Harlequin's room visit.

Choose No, you can stay. to trigger Pierrot's room variation. If Harlequin marked you earlier, Pierrot can notice and react. Save before this branch if you want to compare both room scenes.

Second Night Tent Order

The second night focuses on blue, cyan, and purple tents.

Recommended order:

  1. Blue tent for the mirror maze.
  2. Cyan tent for Doctor content.
  3. Purple/Jester tent after blue and cyan are complete.

Blue and cyan can vary in order. If you want Doctor's mirror callback, visit the cyan tent before checking Doctor's mirror inside the blue tent.

Blue Tent Mirror Maze

Most mirrors are lore or character checks:

  • Pierrot mirror shows darker attachment context.
  • Harlequin mirror can change if you followed him or held his hand.
  • Doctor mirror can react if you visited the cyan tent first.
  • Ticket Taker mirror changes tone depending on how you respond.
  • Broken/fire mirror should be clicked at least three times for the repeated warning.

The final/Columbina mirror is the key branch:

  • Run away. exits without hidden scene 2.
  • Come closer. unlocks hidden scene 2.

Save before this choice.

Hidden Scenes

Hidden Scene 1

Complete the blue tent and cyan tent, then enter and complete the purple/Jester tent. Hidden scene 1 is added to the gallery after the purple tent sequence.

Hidden Scene 2

In the blue tent final mirror, choose Come closer. This unlocks the Columbina hidden scene.

These scenes are important lore unlocks, but they are not confirmed separate endings in the current build.

Day 2 Save Points

Keep saves before:

  • Day 2 recap answers
  • Harlequin's Move away / Follow him choice
  • dark tent Hit him / Allow
  • the room visit split
  • entering the blue mirror maze
  • the final/Columbina mirror
  • entering purple/Jester after blue and cyan are complete
