Expenses: $100 per Outfit (It is 50% off for your first playthrough though, so one will just be $50 for you)

Now that the next episode is out for everyone, you can find my personal playthrough of Episode 3 here!

The episode kicks off not long after Episode 2. You’re discussing your victory on getting the Contract and the Opening being successful along with it being your first assignment. Everyone gives you an applause.

• (I joined in the applause, a smile on my face.) +5 with Roy, Devon, and Elenda. / with everyone else.
• (I modestly nodded as a sign of thanks.) +5 with Thomas, Brune, and Elenda. / with everyone else.
• (I stared at the table, a bit embarrassed by all the attention.) +5 with Amanda and Elenda

It is then revealed how it’s time for your official Welcoming Party as it’s a tradition to hold one for the new recruits. While it’s usually held in the park, Candy mentions that it can also be held at her house to mixed responses. Devon says how Candy can pick which she prefers since it’s her party.

You’re then put in charge of picking out stuff for said party. Devon gives you the company’s business card and tells you to pick someone to go with you. It does not matter who you pick– this has nothing to do with the illustration, but if you have any LoM concerns, then pick who you want a chance to get LoM with.

• I’ll admit that if you accompanied me, I’d feel more legitimate using this card… /
• Roy, how about a walk around the mall? /
• Thomas, do you want to go for a walk? /
• Amanda, do you want to come with me? /

If you’re only interested in Jason, it also doesn’t matter who you pick.

Leave the office and after some dialogue, you’ll get to the Mall where you’ll have your outfit choice.

Left White/Purple Outfit: Thomas, Amanda
Right Yellow/Black Outfit: Jason, Devon, Roy

After picking your outfit and more conversing, it’s time to look around the Mall.

If you went with Devon:

• [Energetic] I’d say… neither. It’s the first time you’ve been here. +5
• [Sweet] The game store or the DVD store… /
• [Rebel] I’d say the children’s clothing store… -5

Devon: In general, I mean; because I guess you haven’t had time to fully explore the mall yet…

• Any clothing store, I love fashion. /
• I like decoration shops! /
• Bookstores. No shop fascinates me more. /

If you went with Roy:

Roy: Everything looks good.

• [Sweet] Yes, it’s always hard to dilemma… +5
• [Rebel] It’s funny, I thought that great athletes paid attention to their diet… -5
• [Energetic] Plus you can afford it! /

Rude Person: Hey! Can’t you watch where you’re going?!

• [Sweet] I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention… /
• [Rebel] Why don’t you watch where you’re going?! /
• [Energetic] And you?! Can’t you be polite?! /

Roy: Well, it looks to be out of harm’s way.

• [Sweet] Thanks. It’s rather practical to be accompanied with a tall and strapping man like you. /
• [Rebel] Thanks, but I could have handled that just fine on my own. /
• [Energetic] We make a good team! /

If you went with Thomas:

Thomas: When we’re hungry, we make choices based on instinct, and we’d buy everything we want.

• That’s for sure. I always go grocery shopping after eating. /
• But that’s what’s fun. /
• I never noticed… Anyway, it’s just an urban legend. /

• [Sweet] It’s not a bad idea. Maybe I’ll try. +5
• [Rebel] I couldn’t function like that. I’d feel limited. /
• [Energetic] But don’t you want to be surprised? -5

Thomas: The same people who, perhaps, let dogs lick their hands…

• I think I’m one of those people… /
• It doesn’t bother me at all. Here. /

If you went with Amanda:

Amanda: With little cups, and everything… It’s too cute, don’t you think?

• [Sweet] It is pretty cute! +5
• [Rebel] Funny, I wouldn’t have thought that was your thing. -5
• [Energetic] It is cute, but it’s really expensive! /

• I like that little dress. It’s elegant, and simple… /
• How do you think I’d look in those shorts? /
• I could definitely see myself wearing those overalls! /

After more conversation and some dialogue choices, you finally start shopping.

• The drinks. That way, we’ll have the heavy stuff at the bottom of the bag. / ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION
• Things to snack on. It’s no use to carry heavy things around with us. /
• The food. That way, we’ll choose the rest in accordance. /

If you picked to get the drinks first:

You’ll run into Jason! If you have the right outfit and pick the right choice here, you can get his illustration.

Jason: What am I going to do with my evening…?

• Certainly, bore this poor gentleman until who knows when. /
• I don’t want to know. /
• You, Sir, can come, if you want. / ⬅ JASON’S ILLUSTRATION

You will then get this food dialogue:

• (A whole assortment of little things to nibble on for an appetizer buffet.) /
• (We decided to take various pre-cooked dishes directly from a deli.) /
• (Pizzas and mini-quiches to share.) /

If you picked to get snacks first:

You’ll just end up getting this dialogue like with the drinks:

• (A whole assortment of little things to nibble on for an appetizer buffet.) /
• (We decided to take various pre-cooked dishes directly from a deli.) /
• (Pizzas and mini-quiches to share.) /

If you picked to get the food first:

• We can’t go wrong with the appetizer buffet. /
• Let’s get something from the deli: we’ll be sure to eat well. /
• Sharing things in the friendliest option. /

After more dialogue, you’ll have finished shopping.

Before heading back to the office though, you can find Uncle Archibald for another Taki outfit! Go back and forth between the Food Court and West Gallery until he shows up at the latter. Then pick the right dialogue choice.

• You aren’t going to follow me there, right? /
• I can’t be late. /
• Oh, actually… do you want to come? / ⬅ TAKI OUTFIT CHOICE

Once finished at the mall, make your way back to the entrance to head on back to the office.

Once back at the office, it will be time to choose if you want to have the party at the Park or at your house.

• I really want to have the party at my place. ⬅ Towards Devon’s and Roy’s Illustrations
• Let’s go to the park! ⬅ Towards Thomas’ and Amanda’s Illustrations

Regardless of which you pick for the moment, you’ll be heading home to get ready and take care of Taki. After that is where the Story diverges based off your choice.

If you picked to have the party at Candy’s House:

Elenda arrives first and then you have a 10 minute timer to wait for others to show up.

Only Devon, Roy, and Elenda end up making it in the end.

• What do you think of Roy? /
• And you…? Well, I mean… tell me a bit about yourself…? /
• And you, do you get along well with Devon? /
• What do you think of Thomas? /
• And you, you seem to get along very well with Brune… /
• Do you get along well with Amanda? /

You then show the three around your house. After more discussion, you end up playing Truth or Dare.

• (I let out a small sigh of relief. That’s okay.) /
• Okay, let me think about that… /

• [Energetic] I think I’d start by taking revenge on my ex. /
• [Rebel] It’s obvious: I’d rob a bank. /
• [Sweet] Maybe I could become an investigative journalist? /

• [Rebel] Me neither, I’m not sure I’m very interested… +5 with Devon, -5 with Roy, / with Elenda
• [Energetic] I wouldn’t mind a few more details… +5 with Roy, -5 with Devon, / with Elenda
• [Sweet] (I was careful not to share my opinion.) /

• (I wonder what this card’ll have in store for me…) / ⬅ Towards either Roy’s or Devon’s Illustration. This option randomly decides which scene you get. You can still get the illustration if you pick the right choice in whichever scene, you get so if you’re stuck between Roy and Devon, you could always pick this one.
• (I hope that the card is for Roy…) / ⬅ Towards Roy’s Illustration
• (I hope that the card is for Devon…) / ⬅ Towards Devon’s Illustration

If you picked (or got put on) Devon’s Illustration scene:

He has to give Candy the best 5-minute massage of her life.

• (I smiled at Devon) / ⬅ Towards Devon’s Illustration
• You mentioned a wildcard, didn’t you…? /
• Isn’t that…a bit inappropriate…? /

If you picked (or got put on) Roy’s Illustration scene:

You get a dare card to kiss someone on your right which just happens to be Roy.

• (After all, it’s the game… Roy is attractive, here I go!) / ⬅ Towards Roy’s Illustration
• “Kiss”, it can be on the cheek! /
• You mentioned a wildcard, didn’t you…? /

If you picked to have the party at the Park:

You will automatically make your way over to the Park after taking a shower. Brune will be there waiting for you– turns out you’re the first to arrive. After finding a spot to sit, you converse a bit more.

Brune: Did you choose the park to avoid upsetting Amanda?

• [Rebel] That’s not why I did it… +5
• [Sweet] Yeah, I thought it’d be best. /
• [Outgoing] I found her idea of a neutral space a pretty good idea. -5

You will then have a 10-minute timer while you wait for everyone else to arrive.

After waiting for so long, you decide to start anyway and then Devon shows up. Unfortunately, Roy and Elenda won’t be able to make it. Roy had a call from his coach for a workout he had to do and Elenda is taking care of a last-minute client.

While discussing if the others will make it, Thomas shows up on his motorcycle. And after some more discussion, Amanda shows up for the exact reason Brune mentioned: She was trying to pick out the perfect cake.

Everyone then shares what they brought (with Devon being taken away due to a phone call shortly after explaining his meal).
Thomas: Mini Quiches (Half Bacon, Half Vegetable) and Brookies
Devon: Asparagus Toast (Sliced bread, Mayo, and Asparagus…)
Brune: Tapas (Handmade with her mother’s recipe)
Amanda: The Cake and Raw Vegetables

You’ll then have an option to try one of the options (I wish we had at least two…):

• I think I’m going to try your tapas, Brune… /
• I’m one of the ninety percent of people who loves mini-quiches! /
• I’ll take some raw veggies! I want to save room for the cake. /
• I confess that I’m intrigued by the asparagus toasts… /

After everyone eats a bit, the discussion changes to cooking.

Brune: Let’s say I’m in between… And you, [Name]?

• It’s not really my passion either. /
• I’m like you, Brune. /
• I love to cook! /

More discussion happens before you get an important choice.

• So, Thomas, you have a motorcycle? ⬅ Thomas’ Illustration Scene
• Wouldn’t it be time for dessert? ⬅ Amanda’s Illustration Scene

If you picked Thomas’ Illustration Scene

Thomas: Have you ever ridden a motorcycle?

• No… I think it’s scary. /
• I’ve never been that interested in it. /
• I’ve never had the occasion, but I’ll admit that I’m curious to try! / ⬅ Towards Thomas’ Illustration

You’ll then end up teaching him how to make a flower crown and explaining how you learned from your father when you were a kid. After more dialogue, the illustration scene will happen.

Amanda will then bring up dessert.

The options converge here so scroll on down for the rest.

If you picked Amanda’s Illustration Scene

Candy will ask if it’s time for dessert. Amanda agrees and says she’ll cut the cake.

After eating two slices and everyone enjoying it, Candy suggests going for a walk. Amanda readily agrees while Brune and Thomas talk about his motorcycle hobby.

Candy ends up pointing out a seesaw much to Amanda’s shock.

• What, is it not prestigious enough for you? / ⬅ Towards Amanda’s Illustration
• Well, I’m going… If you don’t come with me, it’ll be even more ridiculous. /
• Come on! It’s no fun alone! /

After some seesawing, you’ll continue walking as you chat.

Amanda: The good times. When everything was easier…

• Because things are complicated now? /
• It’s true that everything seemed simpler when we were children. /
• My mother was the one who took me to the park. /

You then end up making your way back where Brune and Thomas have just finished their conversation.

And that’s where the paths converge.
