Description: Exact author-published thresholds for Julian and Narrator, the stars flag, the body-versus-no-body choice, and all three capybaras, with the five-endings discrepancy explained.
To unlock the Narrator romance, finish Julian’s Good Ending and select New Game, rather than loading an older save. Julian needs aff > 7 and the second-date stars event. Narrator’s positive outcomes need affnar ≥ 12; the body variant also requires saying “Yes” to a body and choosing “Paint him” in the park.
The game page advertises five endings: three for Julian and two for Narrator. The author’s detailed walkthrough nevertheless labels a Narrator Bad Ending and a separate early Date 1 failure. Those are documented outcome conditions, but the page does not establish whether each has a distinct collectible ending screen. This guide preserves that distinction instead of inventing a new official total.

For Julian, ask about work, thoughts and home on Date 1, then tease him once the option opens at aff ≥ 2. The home question gives Capybara #1, while teasing grants #2. On Date 2, take the stars conversation and relate to him; on Date 3, accept his imperfections and tease again. There is a numerical gap in the published instructions: the listed Date 1 bonuses add up to five, yet the Date 2 stars choice requires six. The author does not specify a starting score or every other possible bonus, so the listed picks alone are not a mathematically proven complete path.
On the new Narrator playthrough, engage him during the introduction and keep Julian’s early affection healthy. Call the Narrator’s bluff, offer to get him something, excuse yourself when Julian is frightened, and say you care about him. At the Ferris wheel, go as a pair and ask whether he wants to be human. The park painting scene determines the physical-body variant independently of the affection threshold.
Three capybaras and a scoring caveat
Three capybaras form a small linked collectible chain. Ask about Julian’s home for #1; unlock and choose the teasing response for #2; then ask about capybaras at the bus stop for #3. The author explicitly makes #2 a prerequisite for #3.
Patch history and verification limits
The developer reported a fix on March 16, 2026 for Narrator scenes that failed to appear. Players had specifically reported missing offer-to-help and bathroom options. The current download is labelled v1.1, but no independent playthrough was conducted for this article.
Common questions
Can I romance Narrator on the first run? No: finish Julian Good, then start a new game.
Why did high Julian affection still give Neutral? The stars flag is required in addition to points.
Does high Narrator affection automatically give the body ending? No: the body question and painting choice are separate.
Were these branches play-tested here? No. The conditions are transcribed and reconciled from the creator’s guides, with the gaps identified.
Conclusion
Secure Julian’s stars scene first, then open a fresh run and deliberately include the Narrator in your conversations. The Ferris wheel builds affection; the painting scene decides the form of the finale. The best twist is mechanical as well as romantic: the storyteller only becomes an option after you have already finished someone else’s story.
