⚠️SPOILER ALERT⚠️
This page contains information about plot points and future story developments so read at your own risk!

Welcome to the Hell and High Water walkthroughs.

This page features the walkthroughs for Season 1. Click here if you are looking for walkthroughs for other seasons.

This book is complete.

What are walkthroughs? Walkthroughs are episode-by-episode guides that will reveal the effects each choice has on your character and the plot. Please note that these pages are always under construction as we learn more about each book.

Most choices you make for the Main Character in this book influence the following variables: Spirit of the Sea 🌊, Spirit of the Wind 💨, Inspiration 💡, Pragmatism 🔗, and Morale 🕊️. These choices change the story, the interactions you have with other characters, and the scenes you will be able to play.

This book also offers relationship-improving choices both of a romantic and friendly nature.

PLEASE NOTE: choices that have no significant effect on the plot (as in, no effect on game points and statistics) or that do not give interesting information on characters or backstories might have not been included in the walkthroughs.

Premium choices that require in-game currency to be unlocked are marked by a 💎 diamond symbol. Quick choices that are timed are marked by a ⏰ timer symbol.

Relationship choices leading to an intimate scene are marked with a ❤️ symbol.

⚠️TRIGGER WARNINGS: Episode 3 includes descriptions of injuries and deaths that some players may find disturbing. Episode 10 can include descriptions of injuries and violence while Episode 11 can include descriptions of graphic injuries, violence, death, and blood. Please proceed with caution.

DISCLAIMER: due to the very intricate nature of this game, where every choice you make sets into motion a complicated series of consequences, there are many possible game routes and scene combinations. As a result, the walkthroughs on this wiki might not be exactly identical to your game experience. If you experience something that is not covered in our walkthroughs, please leave a comment so we can update the page and add an extra possible route to our wiki.

Also please note: The descriptions of the scenes included in these walkthroughs might be paraphrases of what happens, so please don't take them as word by word copies of what is said in the book.
