DRAMAtical Murder

A few tips to make your life easier

The recommended route order is: Koujaku > Noiz > Mink > Clear > Ren
The right-click menu (see first image above) shows you how many flags you scored for each love interest. Once you enter a route, these are replaced by how many “right” answers you scored for the given LI.
If you want to easily go back to the last choice you encountered, you can click the button “Return to previous choice” from the same menu.
You can rapidly skip to the next choice by pressing N key or clicking “nitro skip” button
Making a wrong choice during a route doesn’t lock you out of a good ending! It just makes the final section harder.
If you have an equal number of flags between 2 or more LIs, you will get a choice at the end of the common route (in Aoba’s room) that lets you pick which route you want to start (see second image).

Koujaku’s route

Not too hard to figure out. Be a good bro and everything will be fine.

1 – I hesitate
2 – “You a magician?”
3 – I fight back
4 – I hear someone on the stairs
5 – I tell him to get lost
6 – I call out to Koujaku
7 – I don’t have a choice
8 – I keep quiet
9 – I want to get inside
10 – I glance at Noiz
11 – I look for Clear
12 – I draw some of them away
13 – I do as Mink says
14 – (if prompted) I think of Koujaku
15 – I let Koujaku help me
16 – I say something
17 – I hold on tight

Koujaku’s Bad End:
18 – Write anything other than “Don’t give up” and confirm

Koujaku’s Good End:
18 – Spell “Don’t give up” and confirm

Noiz’s route

Call him out and treat him like the brat he is. His last choices are a bit tricky and can be confusing. If you see your screen or game do weird things, keep playing! These are deliberate and part of his route.

1 – I smack her hand away.
2 – “You a magician?”
3 – What is this guy, twelve?!
4 – I hear someone on the stairs
5 – I try to talk him down
6 – I call out to Noiz
7 – I can’t go along
8 – I keep quiet
9 – I want to get inside
10 – I walk up to Noiz
11 – I look for Clear
12 – I go to help
13 – I do as Mink says
14 – (if prompted) I think of Noiz
15 – I drag him to the sink
16 – I tell him how I really feel
17 – He looks unhappy
18 – “Yes” 5 times, doesn’t matter which “yes” you pick
19 – No

Game Over (you get sent back to the game’s main menu):
20 – No

Nois’s Bad End 1:
20 – Yes
21 – No, we can’t
22 – No matter what
23 – Ever
24 – Because it’s wrong
25 – Because it’s just wrong
26 – The real world

Noiz’s Bad End 2:
20 – Yes
21 – No, we can’t
22 – No matter what
23 – Ever
24 – Because it’s wrong
25 – Because it’s just wrong
26 – A comfortable world

Noiz’s Good End:
20 – Yes
21 – No, we can’t
22 – No matter what
23 – Ever
24 – Because we can’t
25 – Because it’s not over yet
26 – That’s not up to us
27 – Use your brain
28 – I’m…

Mink’s route

His choices are a bit peculiar: in the common route and the first choice you need to do what he says and keep silent, but once his route gets in full swing you must go against his orders and defy him. Guess he secretly likes it when Aoba is stubborn.

1 – I hesitate
2 – “You a magician?”
3 – I fight back
4 – I hear someone on the stairs
5 – I tell him to get lost
6 – I call out to Koujaku
7 – I don’t have a choice
8 – I keep quiet
9 – I want to get inside
10 – I glance at Noiz
11 – I look for Clear
12 – I draw some of them away
13 – I do as Mink says
14 – (if prompted) I think of Mink
15 – I get ready
16 – I tell him I don’t want to
17 – I still try to fight

Mink’s Bad End
18 – I help him
19 – I help him
20 – (if prompted again) help whoever you can

Mink’s Good End
18 – I don’t help him
19 – I don’t help him
20 – (if prompted again) don’t help them

Clear’s route

In a way, his choices are the opposite of Noiz’s: instead of telling him what to do, you must instead treat Clear like an adult and respect his autonomy so he can make his own decisions.

1 – I smack her hand away
2 – “Why the umbrella?”
3 – I fight back
4 – I hear something on the roof
5 – I tell him to get lost
6 – I call out to Koujaku
7 – I can’t go along
8 – I say something
9 – “Did you really hear me?”
10 – I glance at Noiz
11 – I call his name
12 – I go to help
13 – I hesitate
14 – (if prompted) I think of clear
15 – I listen to his side of the story
16 – “Are you afraid of something?”
17 – I just look at him

Clear’s Bad End:
18 – Click either of the choices, doesn’t matter which

Clear’s Good End:
18 – Make no choice. Wait a few seconds till the choices crack and then break

Ren’s route / True route

After you scored the good ends of everyone else, you will see that Ren is no longer present in the main menu and when you start a new game, new choices will open to you. You must treat Ren like his own person and show concern for him.

1 – I smack her hand away
2 – I protect Ren
3 – “Not really, but…”
4 – “You a magician?”
5 – I fight back
6 – I hear someone on the stairs
7 – I tell him to get lost
8 – I call out to Koujaku
9 – I can’t go along
10 – I pick up Ren
11 – I say something
12 – I want to get inside
13 – I open the bag
14 – I glance at Noiz
15 – I look for Clear
16 – I go to help
17 – I do as Mink says
18 – I feel guilty
19 – I’m worried about how he’s feeling
20 – I pet Ren

Virus and Trip’s Bad End:
21 – I’m overwhelmed
22 – I use Scrap
23 – I can’t fight anymore

Ren’s Bad End:
21 – I’m pissed
22 – I fight the urge
