Follow the developer’s safe Railan choices, separate Freedom from Duty, unlock seven achievements and open the 2026 bonus scenes with the Golden Key. There are three story outcomes: two good endings built around Freedom or Duty, plus the dismissal ending. The developer’s walkthrough separates relationship-preserving replies from the protagonist’s philosophy. Follow both layers rather than treating the Freedom and Duty lists as standalone consecutive menus.
Three endings and how to reach them (spoilers)

Railan romance: five flirt prompts
For romance, retain the safe good-ending choices and select every explicitly marked flirt option. The developer lists five notable flirt moments below. For the friendship achievement, finish a good ending without flirting.
| # | Railan romance: five flirt prompts |
|---|---|
| 1 | ask him to read to you |
| 2 | ask whether that is a problem |
| 3 | compliment his smile |
| 4 | question being only a friend |
| 5 | ask where he might find love |
All seven achievements
These seven unlock conditions come from the developer’s guide; the table describes actions rather than inventing achievement names.
| # | All seven achievements |
|---|---|
| 1 | finish Duty |
| 2 | finish Freedom |
| 3 | complete one full playthrough |
| 4 | romance Railan |
| 5 | complete a good ending as friends without flirting |
| 6 | get fired in the bad ending |
| 7 | choose Sweet Peas as the favorite flower |
Golden Key and the August 2026 bonus scenes
The August 7, 2026 update added backgrounds, a revised interface and voiced romance scenes. Normally they unlock after completing a run. Returning players can set their name and pronouns, click the Golden Key, then enter Wildshire with that exact capitalization to jump to the new content. It is a bonus-scene shortcut, not a fourth ending.
Version and reliability notes
The walkthrough dates to July 11, 2025; a September 27, 2025 patch rebalanced good endings, and the bonus update followed on August 7, 2026. Current download filenames still say TPK-1.0, so a precise internal build number cannot be inferred. The source marks some essential choices in bold; this article presents the complete recommended fifteen, not an independently verified minimum set. A developer reply specifically warns that dismissing Railan as a lost cause when speaking to Lady Selyse causes a heavy point loss.
Bottom line
Think of the run as two tracks: maintain trust with the prince, then consistently choose freedom or duty. Add the five flirt prompts for romance. If you are returning just for the voiced extras, the Golden Key saves a full replay.
