I Deserve a Happy Ending – Route/Ending + CG Guide

Guide for CGs + routes/endings for the 2 romance options and mystery options.

Guide to All CGs with Routes and Endings

Intro

Here are some things to keep in mind as you delve into the game:

• 2 of the 6 endings are closed off until you complete the game once. When you’ve finished it once, the choice will appear alongside where you would normally go to the whispers, or the screaming man. Note: This option still unlocks in old saves from your first playthrough, as if it’s a new save.
• Yvoress’ route can encounter a bug that crashes the game to the usual otome game client error screen. Just press ignore in the options below and the game will continue with no problems.
• This guide is missing CG #5, which is assumedly somewhere in Elyon’s route.
• There are only 2 romance options – Yvoress and Elyon. Both have 2 endings, for a total of 4, with another 2 endings in the “mystery” category where you aren’t really romancing anybody.
• There are actually “dead ends” in this game. Following the guides will avoid them, but it’s worth mentioning here that they do in fact exist – and are usually indicated by the narrator/Alfonso being confused about the scenario and asking you to go back and fix it.
• I personally recommend doing Elyon’s route first, then Yvoress’ and then the mystery route – as this is the order of the CG appearance, and sets up the world in the best way.

Yvoress – Happy Ending

• Accept the offer
• Mysterious Whispers
• Faced the Sorceror
• Insist that Yvoress should do it
• To teach Yvoress how to use it
• Try to comfort him
• To go first
• Yvoress

This route unlocks CG #7, #8 and #10.

Yvoress – Good Ending

• Ran for his life
• To go get dinner himself

Elyon – Happy Ending

• Accept the offer
• A man screaming for help
• To give him mouth to mouth
• Take him back to the castle with him
• Offer Elyon the entire bread

• Distract the wolf for Elyon could get close

• At the docks – Alternatively, you can also go to the town plaza to unlock CG #3

• To be understanding

This route/ending unlocks CGs #1, #2, (Potentially #3), #4 and #6.

CG #5 is most likely Elyon’s route as it is in his cluster, but I’m yet to find out how to get it with multiple variations. The game also told me I’d done the “whole thing” when I repeatedly reset to try and find it.

Elyon – Bad Ending

This route/ending does not unlock a new CG.
