A spoiler-safe-to-skim route chart for the Good, Bad and two Neutral endings, including antidote versus catalyst, the four-point love requirement and the final truth-or-lie choice.

There are four endings, not five. The developer lists two ways to reach the same Good End, which is where the extra count can come from. The crucial early decision is whether the poisoned food is actually fed to Mikael. This guide cross-checks the February 15, 2026 official walkthrough with the developer’s postmortem; these routes have not been independently play-tested here.

Ending Required choices What changes Evidence Version / spoilers
Good End Keep Mikael unpoisoned → accompany him → Shearing Woods → take his ring → encourage Henri (or reprimand Henri and help Mikael) → Tell the truth. Alternatively poison Mikael → antidote potion → clean the ring → do not stab → Tell the truth. Also requires at least four love points and avoiding the Henri-related blocker.

Neutral End 2 Follow a Good End route, but choose Lie at the final question. The final answer separates it from Good. Official guide; Official guide 1.0 · 2026-02-15 · full spoilers
Bad End Successfully poison Mikael → catalyst potion → Stab Mikael. Catalyst plus stabbing. Official guide; Official guide 1.0 · 2026-02-15 · full spoilers
Neutral End 1 Successfully poison Mikael → catalyst potion → Do not stab Mikael. Same potion, different last action. Official guide; Official guide 1.0 · 2026-02-15 · full spoilers

The poison decision is a two-choice combination

If you poison the goblet of blood, Agree to feed Mikael leaves him unpoisoned; Refuse to feed Mikael poisons him. If you poison the bowl of porridge, the outcome flips: refusing leaves him unpoisoned and agreeing poisons him. Treat the food selection and the feeding response as one pair. The four combinations come from the developer’s walkthrough, not from a verified examination of Ren’Py variables.

Good End: two routes, one ending

For the unpoisoned route, reading the letter is optional. Accompany Mikael, take the Shearing Woods path, take his ring, and encourage Henri. If you reprimand Henri instead, follow it by helping Mikael. On this route, stabbing or not stabbing is allowed; finish by telling the truth. For the poisoned route, administer the antidote potion, agree to clean the ring, satisfy the Henri condition, do not stab, and tell the truth. The postmortem adds an easily missed prerequisite: at least four love points, with being mean to Henri capable of blocking Good. The developer does not publish a complete point-by-point score table, so do not treat every friendly-sounding option as a confirmed +1.

How to separate both Neutral endings from Bad

Neutral 2 is a Good-route run with Lie instead of Tell the truth at the end. For the other pair, deliberately poison Mikael and give the catalyst potion. Stab Mikael produces Bad; Do not stab Mikael produces Neutral 1. The catalyst and antidote are not interchangeable: choosing the wrong bottle can invalidate the rest of your planned sequence. The published route for these two outcomes specifically starts with successful poisoning.

Can Cyrus actually kill Mikael?

Despite the title, the developer explicitly says the game has no route where Mikael is truly killed. The advertised breakdown is one Good, one Bad and two Neutral endings. The two Good routes are alternate paths to one result. As of February 15, 2026, the developer reported over 2,000 browser plays and 500 downloads; those are engagement counts, not measured search volume.

Version, platform and verification

The official page offers an HTML5 build and downloads labelled 1.0 for Windows, macOS and Linux. The developer warns that mobile browser sessions can refresh or crash and recommends frequent saves; desktop browsers are supported. A January 29 update addressed small typos. The four routes above are developer-documented, while direct playthroughs, all seven CG unlock requirements and the exact affection-variable increments remain unverified here.

Conclusion

Bottom line: solve the poison-plus-feeding pair first. Use antidote, the ring, Henri’s help and the truth for Good while meeting four love points; use catalyst and the stab choice to split Bad from Neutral 1; lie at the end of a Good route for Neutral 2.
