Spiral Dystopia/Rasen Sokou no Dystopia Developed by LiLiM and Dennou Club, published by Kagura Games Steam, GOG, Kagura Games 18+ Patch: GOG, Kagura Games Summary Kou is the descendant of a family that manages a deserted shrine. He, his childhood friends Azusa and Yurina, and his best friend Souma are constantly worried about their future. One day, as summer approaches, Kou meets Miyu, a mysterious woman who wanders the night with a bamboo sword wrapped in her bag. When Kou approaches her, Miyu tells him she’s looking for a very old book that might be hidden somewhere in the city. Turns out the book Miyu is looking for is being kept in the shrine that Kou’s family manages. When the two of them reach out to pick up the book, lightning strikes, and the world begins to spiral. [From Kagura Games] Ending Guideline / Suggested Route Order There is no required route order within Spiral Dystopia, so you can play in whatever order you'd like. However, your second run of Miyu's route is the true route, so I would save itfor last. I would recommend playing Miyu 1st Lap ->Azusa -> Yurina -> Miyu 2nd Lap Miyu Lap 1 Azusa Yurina Miyu Lap 2 Route (True End) Sources: Walkthrough written by OtakuLair Please let me know if there are any mistakes!

I know this is an old post, but a lot of AliceSoft titles fall into this category, especially Rance Edit: I didn't realize you hated the Rance Series when making this post. Sorry.

Ayumi's route in YU-NO addresses it. (https://vndb.org/v1377)

Sayonara o Oshiete ~Comment te Dire Adieu~ vndb Erogamescape Official Site Summary The protagonist is a trainee teacher who commutes to a certain girls' school. Safely finishing the daily practice period, and becoming a regular teacher is his goal. However, his mind begins to tire. Uneasiness and nightmares come in sudden attacks, causing a strain, a social phobia, begins to grow more and more every day. Slowly a fear of the girls he meets with after school begins to emerge, yet at the same time, a desire and passion. Disgust, a kind of taboo, such a feeling is directed to the adult women who are his colleagues. "Am I really fit to be a teacher?" Day by day, the pressure builds. Even when the lessons are over, the lights are off, and the school is closed for another night. He cannot help but wander. Ending Guideline / Suggested Route Order You can play the routes in whatever order you wish. There is no true route. The route you go on is mainly determined by who you visit with the most, although there are occasional choices. With enough trial and error you can probably get through this without much difficulty, but I decided to make this walkthrough anyways. I hope it is useful.
