Come True Quick Facts
This page is written as a focused chapter guide, not a copied transcript. It uses verified episode structure and collectible coverage, then tells you what to watch for while playing.
| Episode position | Episode 8 of 8. |
| Primary purpose | Resolve the route and define ending outcomes. |
| Best first-run goal | Finish once, record ending state, then branch from late Turning Points. |
| Replay priority | Use late branches for endings, O Death cleanup, and missed final-state tests. |
Step-by-Step Route Priorities
Follow these priorities before you replay the chapter. If you change a choice, keep QTE success, exploration, and survivor state as consistent as possible so the Story Tree result is readable.
| Step | Do this | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Before final choices | Write down survivors, deaths, evidence, and O Death progress. | This explains which ending or variant you reached. |
| Finale decisions | Treat mission, crew, and Earth stakes as separate variables. | Ending meaning is not only survivor count. |
| After credits | Record the ending name or outcome and any unlocked Story Tree branches. | This is the base for all-ending cleanup. |
| Replay cleanup | Branch from the closest late Turning Point and change one final condition. | This is faster than replaying the whole game. |
Collectibles and Search Notes
Current collectible coverage lists 65 total collectibles across the game. Use this section as a route reminder, then use the dedicated collectibles page for exact cleanup.
- Confirm whether any O Death Secrets remain before ending cleanup.
- Record if final collectibles persist after Turning Point rewinds.
- Use the O Death / Curator page if the Curator route is your main target.
Route Warnings
- Come True is finale content; expect ending-adjacent spoilers.
- Do not overwrite your clean route until you have recorded the final survivor and mission state.
- Do not change multiple route variables during a replay; test one choice, QTE result, or exploration path at a time.
- Check the Story Tree after the episode before assuming the final visible choice caused the outcome.
- If a character was isolated, treat later trust prompts as route-critical until evidence proves otherwise.
