0.3.0 Route Guide (Patreon)

Hey guys! This post could contain spoilers for 0.3.0. Be advised! Slight spoilers for future versions as well.

This post will go over what choices matter, scene variants, and a few other things. Once the story is completed, I'll end up doing a full guide for everything

CHAPTER 1

There aren't many choices that matter here besides morality shifts. However, there are two things to keep in mind:

One: How you treat Yasushi DOES matter. Choosing to push things too far increases a hidden meter called "Yasushi's Sanity Meter." Each time you go too far with Yasushi, or he witnesses you do extremely cruel things, he will gain a sanity point. This can affect things later on. Please keep in mind, as of now, there aren't many places where Yasushi gains sanity points. I've been kind of lenient, but expect that to change later on.

Two: Just like Yasushi, how you treat Chiaki also matters. Choosing to push Chiaki away will absolutely have major consequences in later chapters.

You can choose to have a low morality playthrough while also doing good things. I've already planned for this to happen, so if you do end up going that route, you can expect different outcomes.

CHAPTER 2

Chapter 2 is a bit similar to Chapter 1. It is mostly a lot of morality choices. Your dialogue during the foot worship scene will have some slight effects later on. This chapter also features a lot of Chiaki choices. If you want to maintain a good relationship with her, this is a good chapter to push that route. There is one major item you can find in this chapter as well. Along the path to the lake, if you take a side road, you will find a bunch of flowers. Choosing to take a flower will have major effects towards the end of the game.

CHAPTER 3

Chapter 3 is the first major chapter. Despite being mid way through the game, you can actually end this chapter off with extremely low morality if you choose every evil option. The first major choices that appear here involve Kanae and Ren. Choosing to shrink Kanae or Ren will lock you into the Body Climb Scene later in the chapter. Choosing to shrink neither of them will give you the alternate scene involving Yasushi and Ichiro. Not shrinking Kanae, but shrinking Ren will give you an alternate version of the Body Climb Scene. It is not currently in the game, but eventually, the alternate version of the Body Climb Scene without Kanae will give you a Yasushi Sanity Point. Not choosing to shrink Kanae will lead to two more sub choices. Both of which will ultimately affect Kanae's fate. Later on, you will be given a choice to let the leaf wither or burn. While this doesn't have any major consequences, it will increase or decrease your morality by 100. Finally, we reach the biggest decisions in the chapter. Inside the hamster cage, you can choose to get rid of a tiny. One thing to keep in mind is that Yasushi will absolutely take notice to this. It will permanently lock him into being terrified. You will also have different dialogue with him after the free time events if you did dispose of a tiny. Disposing of a tiny will definitely change the story, and you might even skip over certain scenes. You are locked out of certain endings if you do this.

Hopefully this helps a bit. Each chapter might feel short, but I can assure you, every choice you make is contributing to the ending of the game. Tiniest Desires is not meant to be long. It is meant to have many different endings. Doing only positive morality for example doesn't necessarily mean you will end up with a good ending either.
