Roadmap

This is a guide to the different routes, and how to achieve the ending for the route.

Before you reach Drylord, you are considered to be within no route at all. Your decisions before this do affect what route you enter at Drylord's Mansion, but you are still technically not within any route before this.

Routes are affected primarily by the standing of countries at various turning points of the story. The VIRUS Route transcends this, though.
