Symbiotic Love: All Endings Guide

Symbiotic Love is the prequel to Melancholy Love, which is currently available on Steam. Although it isn’t necessary to have played Melancholy Love first, it makes a few references to characters from Symbiotic Love.

With that in mind, I wrote up this working walkthrough for all five endings of Symbiotic Love as I beta tested. Please note that any similarities to other walkthroughs are purely coincidental, as this one is based on my personal experience going through the visual novel.

Here, I am going to note all of the possible choices that are presented throughout the story. Suffice it to say that this walkthrough does contain spoilers and I won’t put them in spoiler text (unless it has to do with story events). Thus, if you’re having trouble getting a particular ending or whatnot, then go to the appropriate ending section to see the choices you should make to get it.

Now, here are all the possible choices presented. If I put “x (positive)” next to a choice, it should be obvious that means it is the correct/favorable choice for the character affected.

Now, with that done, I will next list the choices you should make (based on my personal experience) to get the desired endings.
