[Hunter X Hunter] Beyond the Bad Ending

That's right, this is an otome game.

When you wake up, you find yourself in a foul-smelling garbage dump, growing up alongside the Phantom Troupe.

There are three romanceable characters in total.

There are plenty of choices and plenty of endings to unlock, but most of them are Bad Ends or Open Ends.

This troubles you greatly.

Worse still, the NPCs are completely impossible to read. Sometimes they even prefer choices like [Punch him].

It's almost as if they're afraid you'll accidentally fall in love!

You have no choice but to rewind again and again, switch choices, and collect achievements...

Until, on one damp night, you finally discover the true key beyond the bad endings.

[You have achieved True End: We will be together forever.]

[Reading Guide / Content Warnings]

- Romance- and emotion-focused, with a bleak, bittersweet tone. Uses a visual novel framework, not a power fantasy.

- The main romanceable characters are Feitan, Shalnark, and Chrollo, with three individual routes.

- Includes multiple playthroughs, multiple endings, and achievement unlocks, with a small amount of meta elements.

- True End is an ensemble ending, not a solo romance. Please proceed with caution if that bothers you.

- The character portrayals and interpretation of the Phantom Troupe's bonds reflect the author's personal understanding. Apologies for any out-of-character moments.

- Retains older settings such as Meteor City's jungle law, along with some of the Phantom Troupe's old characterizations.

- There is a lot of dark, messy angst! A lot! Please proceed with caution if that bothers you.

- Second-person narration.
