If you do not apply the patch, and you are playing a version with achievements, you will get the gallery Completion achievement as soon as you get all SFW images in the gallery. There are two different NSFW patches, a Steam and non-Steam version. Especially if you don't skip town altogether when the option is presented. Smythe suspicious will tend to lead you to bad endings in which Lizzie and possibly also Mrs.
There are also four different variants of the festival: if John slept with Lizzie and convinced her not to kill the lab partner if John slept with Lizzie and she killed the lab partner if John did not sleep with Lizzie and did not free himself from her basement if John did not sleep with Lizzie and freed himself from her basement. These depend on which medication she took and whether John accepted her love confession earlier. There are four completely different scenes after the date in which you medicate Lizzie for the first time. You can save the lab partner girl, and even get a happy ending after, but it's tricky. In my opinion talking morality is more useful generally.Įnding up in the basement is not a guaranteed bad ending, and you can even escape on your own. You should definitely choose a drug, though, unless you want John dead as soon as possible.Ĭonversation topics also aren't critical decisions. Nihlazine seems to fit canon better, however, and its effects are slightly more useful in my opinion. You can even get the true ending with both. Surprisingly, the drug is not a critical decision. No plot branch requires these bonuses, but you won't have to make as many good decisions if you use these bonuses, and they will NOT keep you from unlocking gallery items, achievements, or anything else! These are small, but you get new ones from each kind of ending you find, so they accumulate. Doing this will give you the option to play with small bonuses to those aforementioned values. When you reach a new ending, you should restart the game - and I mean from the beginning. Some choices are tracked specifically, while most affect internal aggregate values that represent things like Lizzie's stability, John's depression, and the level of trust between them. Your earlier decisions influence what happens in response to later choices. Perhaps the most important thing you need to understand about Crimson Gray is that it's not a pure branching story structure.
