Spire Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) Synesthesia can be navigated quite easily using the flowchart without the need for a guide. Having said that, this guide will ensure you take the quickest route to the True End. This will also unlock all endings, achievements and tips for 100% completion.There will be a few minor scenes you may miss between the characters, but nothing of consequence. Any route order is fine, and in some cases is enforced. This guide will take the order of Common Route, Keller Route, Isla Route, Eris Route -> True route. COMMON ROUTE: Spoiler CH 1 Mon 04/09 Move to living room Move to the institute Move to main street; move to cheeky dog.

Mainly for ease of formatting, and to follow the guidelines for formatting character routes according to this link: I've tried to keep the guide spoiler free other than what I need to outline for choice. Hope that helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
