MCL NewGen Episode 13 Guide

And thank you again to those who donated– I genuinely would be unable to play otherwise right now.

– Negative result for LOM
/ Neutral result for LOM
+ Positive result for LOM

Any without one of the symbols above means I don’t know. Some dialogue may be translated from my French account.

Action Points used: 2,800-3,100+. Due to how personality can change prices, it’s a bit harder to calculate.
Illustrations: 5 – You can only receive 1 Illustration per playthrough. Once again, it’s recommended to hit as many positives as you can asthe episode looks at that instead of your overall LoM.
Expenses: $145 per Outfit (It is 50% off for your first playthrough though, so one will just be $72 for you)
Special Scene Cost: 120 Gems per special scene.

Outfits: 2. Theorist Outfit (Beige Coat, Teal Dress) is for Amanda and Devon. Practitioner Outfit (Beanie and Jeans) is for Thomas, Roy, and Jason.

Taki Outfit: Diamonds are a girl’s best friend

You can find Uncle Archibald in the mall by going back and forth between the food court and west gallery. You must pick “Did you come to freshen up your wardrobe a little?” to get the outfit.

Due to the Video Policy, Episode 13’s playthrough will be out at a later time!

The episode starts off in the meeting room where new assignments are being handed out.

Throughout the episode, you will have moments where you can empathize or be more neutral to Amanda. If you mostly empathize with her, she’ll confess to you 1 on 1– this is REQUIRED for Amanda. For Thomas, Devon, and Roy, it does not matter if she tells you or not– you can still get their illustrations if they are your highest. For Jason, you need to do the opposite and be more neutral/dismissive (and generally avoid any positive LoM with her). If she personally confesses to you, you will not get the message from Jason.

While I will note “Towards Amanda’s Illustration”, up until you end up going to talk to her at the end, you can still get Roy’s, Thomas’, and Devon’s with any of these choices until specific ones are mentioned for them.
Similarly, if you’re not planning to go for Amanda, picking ones towards Jason will also not affect going for Roy’s, Thomas’, or Devon’s up until you need to pick the options towards their illustrations.

Amanda: This might be a bit of a pain, don’t you think…?

• [Sweet] I don’t see why? / ⬅ I’ve gotten both Amanda’s Confession and Jason’s route with this answer. It may be a “neutral” option or could work for either.
• [Energetic] On the contrary, it will make our job easier! /
• [Rebel] He may end up being rather demanding… /

Amanda: True… But that also means that we have even less interest in messing up.

• [Energetic] We’re not going to mess up, you are an incredible asset for this case! / ⬅ TOWARDS AMANDA’S ILLUSTRATION
• [Sweet] You don’t usually put so much pressure on yourself… /
• [Rebel] We never have interest in messing up, if you follow that logic… / ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION

• [Energetic] And he seems willing to give us some freedom! /
• [Sweet] He was very polite… / ⬅ I’ve gotten both Amanda’s Confession and Jason’s route with this answer. It may be a “neutral” option or could work for either.
• [Rebel] Even if we probably won’t have much room for error. /

The game will skip ahead a couple of days as you work on the project. When you and Amanda decide to have something to eat, she gets another call and goes to head to her desk.

At this point, your highest LoM will show up and invite you to eat with them. If your highest LoM is Amanda, then you’ll end up leaving the office to go pick up food before heading back to eat together. Either way, you’ll get a dialogue choice with whoever your highest LoM is.

After you head back to the office, you’ll run into Elenda.

• [Energetic] I’m not complaining: I can work in peace! +5
• [Sweet] Maybe it reassures him, he wants everything to be perfect. +10
• [Rebel] Not the same values, all that… /

There will then be another time-skip.

Amanda: He told me, “The Venn diagram of his family and ASIR alumni is a circle!”

• Hahaha! He’s exaggerating a bit there… / ⬅ I’ve gotten both Amanda’s Confession and Jason’s route with this answer. It may be a “neutral” option or could work for either.
• He’s been sharing more and more jokes, don’t you think? / ⬅ I’ve gotten Amanda’s Confession with this option
• He doesn’t make many jokes, and when he does I don’t understand them… /

After a bit more discussion, you’ll head out of the meeting room to a 10-minute timer while you wait for Amanda.

If you are doing a free replay, you’ll have a dialogue choice:

• (Thomas came out of the cafeteria and nodded at me.) / ⬅ TOWARDS THOMAS’ ILLUSTRATION
• (But Amanda didn’t keep me waiting long.) / ⬅ TOWARDS AMANDA’S ILLUSTRATION
• (Roy came out of the cafeteria and smiled at me.) / ⬅ TOWARDS ROY’S ILLUSTRATION
• (Devon came out of the office and smiled at me.) / ⬅ TOWARDS DEVON’S ILLUSTRATION

Otherwise, it defaults to whoever your highest LoM is. If your highest LoM is anyone besides Amanda, they will join you to the mall. Otherwise, it’ll just be the two of you.

At the mall, you have a chance to find Uncle Archibald! You want to go back and forth between the Food Court and the West Gallery until he shows up.

• Did you come to freshen up your wardrobe a little? ⬅ CORRECT ANSWER FOR TAKI’S OUTFIT
• Have you already had lunch?
• I’m sorry. I have to go, so…

After, or if you’re not interested in the Taki outfit, head to the East Gallery to pick out your outfit.

Theorist Outfit (Beige Coat, Teal Dress) is for Amanda and Devon. Practitioner Outfit (Beanie and Jeans) is for Thomas, Roy, and Jason.

After picking your outfit, it’s time to get food at the food court.

• I always get the fish sandwich. /
• I get something different each time… /
• A Classic meal. I really like it. /

• [Energetic] I’m sorry, sir, but we’re in a bit of a hurry… +5 with Devon, / with Amanda
• [Sweet] Let’s sit down. Amanda, should we wait for you at the table…? +5 with Amanda and Roy, -5 with Thomas
• [Rebel] Sir, can’t you see that she doesn’t know who you are… -5 with Amanda and Roy, +5 with Thomas

(The above dialogue choice will only affect who you are with– if you are only with Amanda, only she is affected, otherwise it will be Amanda and whoever else is with you)

• (She places somewhat unnecessary burdens on herself at times.) / ⬅ TOWARDS AMANDA’S ILLUSTRATION
• (Even if it’s not necessarily easy to feel sorry for her…) / ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION
• (She has trouble imagining that not everyone has lived like her.) /

You’ll then head back to the office to give your mid-project presentation. After, there will be another time-skip as you get ready for the final presentation.

After more discussion, you’ll head to the park with Amanda so she can clear her head. Depending on your choices in the episode with Amanda, she will either tell you her secret personally or it won’t be mentioned.

Amanda: So I had all the attention, they gave in to my every whim…

• [Energetic] What do you mean by whim? If your parents had the means… +5
• [Rebel] So, you were spoiled…
• [Sweet] Did you ask for a lot?

• Okay, I won’t say anything. I promise. / ⬅ TOWARDS AMANDA’S ILLUSTRATION
• But we can’t not tell them… /
• I can’t keep this to myself…! /

You’ll then head back to the office, and everyone will head to the meeting room for the final presentation.
Unfortunately, though unsurprisingly, things do not end well.

Roy: It… Trust, honesty… It’s important, right?!

• [Sweet] Of course, but that’s no reason to be angry. +5 with Amanda, +10 with Elenda, -5 with Brune
• [Rebel] Quite frankly, no. They’re quite overrated. +5 with Thomas and Brune, -5 with Devon and Roy
• [Energetic] I agree. This went too far. +5 with Devon and Roy, -5 with Amanda and Thomas, / with Elenda and Brune ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION

If you’ve been on Jason’s route at all, you’ll have this dialogue choice:

• (In any case, if it’s just to tell them that he bothers me all the time and that he annoys me…) /
• (Especially since I’m not giving up on figuring him out one day…) /
• (They’re not ready to hear that he could be our friend. Well, maybe…) / ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION

After more discussion about the revelation, you’ll be left alone in the meeting room with a 20-minute timer.

You’ll then have the illustration scene options. Only the options to take some time alone, talk to Amanda, or talk to your highest LoM will show up.

• (Actually, I’d like to talk to Thomas about all this.) / ⬅ TOWARDS THOMAS’ ILLUSTRATION
• I was thinking of going to see Amanda… To make sure she’s okay… / ⬅ TOWARDS AMANDA’S ILLUSTRATION
• Actually… I think I need some time alone. ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION
• (Actually, I’d rather go see Roy.) / ⬅ TOWARDS ROY’S ILLUSTRATION
• I’ll join you shortly. I’ll continue to get some work done in the meantime. / ⬅ TOWARDS DEVON’S ILLUSTRATION

After exiting the meeting room, you’ll overhear Elenda and Brune.

Brune: What do you think, [Name]?

• [Rebel] I agree with you: she’s just being difficult. +5 with Brune, -5 with Elenda
• [Sweet] I agree with Elenda, I think she really wants to quit. +5 with Elenda, -5 with Brune
• [Energetic] She was in shock, she said that in the heat of the moment… +5 with Elenda, / with Brune

If you’re going for Jason and Amanda didn’t reveal her secret you in the park, you will notice a message when you walk back to your desk. You can get this even if you aren’t going for him if you’ve done some of his route:

Jason’s message says (“Meet me at the park. I have something delicious to tell you.”)

• (“Since when do you say delicious…?”) / ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION
• (“I’ll be there as soon as I can.”) +5 with Jason ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION
• (“Sorry, I have other plans for tonight.”) -5 with Jason ⬅ TOWARDS ANYONE ELSE’S ILLUSTRATION

If you’re going for Roy, head to the cafeteria (may need to go back and forth with the main office)
If you’re going for Amanda, leave the office and head to the residential area.
If you’re going for Thomas, go back and forth somewhere and back to the office.
If you’re going for Devon, head to his office (may need to go back and forth).
If you’re going for Jason, head to the park.

If you decided to talk to Thomas

Thomas: Actually, it’s not even my business really.

• [Rebel] Roy swimming naked isn’t really any of your business either… /
• [Energetic] If it wasn’t your business, why did you check her information? / ⬅ TOWARDS THOMAS’ ILLUSTRATION
• [Sweet] The fact is that it’s a bit of everyone’s business now… /

• [Sweet] I don’t know. Honestly, I don’t know. /
• [Energetic] I would have come forward with the information right away. -5
• [Rebel] I don’t think I would have said anything. +5

If you decided to talk to Amanda

You’ll finally get to see Amanda’s place.

• You exaggerated about the size a bit, right? / ⬅ Can also lead to Amanda’s illustration!
• Your place is nice, it’s pretty! / ⬅ TOWARDS AMANDA’S ILLUSTRATION
• You did a great job furnishing it! /

Note: People have gotten Amanda’s illustration with other options here. It’s possible that it could be triggered by other dialogue used in this episode or previous. Unfortunately, this is a lot harder to test :(

If you decided to talk to Roy

Roy: I’ll admit that I wasn’t really counting…

• [Sweet] And…? Did it work? +5
• [Rebel] It looks like you have quite a bit of anger to evacuate… -5
• [Energetic] I can count for you if you want! /

Roy: I know I had a rather lively reaction…

• [Sweet] No… Everyone understood why you were upset. /
• [Energetic] I think you showed quite a bit of self-control. / ⬅ TOWARDS ROY’S ILLUSTRATION
• [Rebel] Clearly, you went a little too far. /

If you decided to talk to Devon

Devon: I’m not even sure what hurts the most.

• [Sweet] It’s mostly that she didn’t trust you. +5
• [Rebel] It’s difficult to separate one thing from the other…
• [Energetic] The fact that it cost us an important contract?

Devon: And I don’t understand how I didn’t have the slightest doubt!

• [Sweet] You had no reason to doubt. You trusted her. / ⬅ TOWARDS DEVON’S ILLUSTRATION
• [Rebel] She believed her own lie so it must have been hard for her. /
• [Energetic] You’re not the only one. Nobody realized. /

Note: There may be a slight difference in the last line if Amanda told you in the park.

If you wanted some alone time (Jason route)

Make your way to the park to find him.

• [Rebel] The fact is that there’s something upsetting about you. +5
• [Energetic] Can we skip the small talk and courtesies, and cut straight to the point? -5
• [Sweet] Yes, everything is fine… And you? /

• [Sweet] Yeah, I don’t know why I expected better from you. -5
• [Rebel] Okay, it looks like we’ve covered everything. Was there anything else you wanted to tell me? +5
• [Energetic] I thought you’d display more fair play than that. /

• [Energetic] To drop this vendetta. /
• [Sweet] To give me your side of the story? +5
• [Rebel] To multiply my salary by ten? -5

• (That he still pleases me, despite everything…)
• (That I don’t know what to think.) ⬅ TOWARDS JASON’S ILLUSTRATION
• (That I changed the way I see him.)

After a bit more dialogue, the episode then ends.
