Walkthrough

NOTE
----
This document contains many spoilers. To avoid having the game spoiled, please stop reading.

GOAL
----
There are a total of 5 'effects' to collect. To complete the game and access the ending you must obtain them all.

WALKTHROUGH
-----------
You begin in Higurashiki's bedroom. Walk down the stairs to enter the Nexus. There are two different routes you can choose from here. To access the "Passion" worlds, go left. To access the "Duty" worlds, go right.

EFFECT #1
---------
From the Nexus, go left and enter the "Passion" incubator. You will now be in Music World, which is entirely black and white. Several NPCs surround you. Ignore the ones with floppy hats. In this world you will find one NPC with a pointy hat. She is the General. Talk to the General to obtain the first effect.

EFFECT #2
---------
Within Music World, you will find a neon plant. Interact with it to enter Abstract World. This world contains two vending machines and two (virtual) incubators, all of which are inverted in color. One of the incubators is accessable, but ignore it for now. Instead find the two vending machines.

To solve the vending machine puzzle, interact with the bottom one first. When asked what you want to do, choose "press a button" to obtain a coin. Repeat this process at least once, as more than one coin is necessary. Once you have two or more coins, interact with the top vending machine and choose to insert a coin. This will change the inverted colors to normal colors. The vending machines are now blue. Interact with the blue vending machine on the bottom and insert a coin to obtain the second effect.

EFFECT #3
---------
In Abstract World, make sure the colors are no longer inverted and the vending machines are blue. The second of the two incubators here will now be accessible. Enter it to access Anime World, where a cute anime girl scrolls across the floor. Find the blue-haired anime Senpai. He will ask you to deliver a message to his kohais. Afterwards, interact with any of the 3 Kohais and they will grant you the third effect.

EFFECT #4
---------
Return to the Nexus. Go right and enter the "Duty" incubator. You will now be in Knowledge World. Look for a chair and interact with it to obtain the fourth effect.

EFFECT #5
---------
Within Knowledge World, you will find the a moving cell phone NPC that rapidly changes color. Interact with it to enter Technology World, which is a maze of green corridors. In Technology World, search until you find a silver/gray door. Enter through the door to access Labor World. Scattered throughout Labor World are 6 switches. Locate them all and interact with them to switch them into the "on" position. The order does not matter. Upon activating the 6th switch you will obtain the fifth (and final) effect.

ENDING
------
Once you have obtained all 5 effects, return to the Nexus and walk downwards to enter the final room. You cannot access this room without first obtaining every effect. Once you have entered into this room you can access the ending.
