For players of “A Perfect Day,” this guide will walk you through how to complete all endings and achieve the true ending. Read on and find out!
General Tips & Tricks
– It’s recommended to store Key Items like those that give Courage++ / Rebellion++ / ability to rewind or skip time, and toss away items that are easily obtainable like Cards and cheap foods; or items that have no usage (anymore) like books, notes, weak 4WD parts, etc
– I’m not sure what exactly triggers it, but at the end of the loop, Fat Guy will give Rubik Cubes (up to 4 times) that will increase your storage by +4, +4, +5 and +6
– There are 2 Aluminium items that give you +5 and +6, if you lose it, always try to reclaim it in the next loop and keep it in your bag. You want to have these 2 items with you all the time. Modern Aluminium Pot is also useful as a stool to reach higher places.
– You may want to do a “Preparation/Filler Loop” where you solely focus the day on obtaining required key items or buying stuff to retain for the next loop where you want to aim for actual story routes. This is made easy by Greenfire Yoyo (read below)
– You can Rewind time, if you made a mistake, using Plastic Motor or Kang Motor, these are inexhaustible items. Other inex. Items are Greenfire Yoyo to skip time and Lil Xeno Noodle Snacks to skip meals. You do this at the Card Selection at the end of an activity
– You can have “infinite” money once you obtain “Dad’s Keys”, as in you can do a “Filler Loop”, get $50 from your home by choosing to “Go Home” in the morning at 8:00, use “Dad’s Keys” to obtain 3 $10 bills in your parents’ room, “Have Lunch at Home” to obtain 2 $20 bills, then go to Yiya Corner Store to buy whatever you want, especially useful stuff like Godzilla and Ultraman (Rebellion++) or stock up Food items. There are 3 routes where you absolutely need $50, so you’ll be doing this 2-3 times anyway.
– You can use “Walk Around” card and “Look Around” at every corner to get all the action Cards. Very convenient if you need a specific cards, but forgot/unable to store them at the end of the day
Route Progression
Here’s the order in which you have to beat the routes
1. Yang Fan
2. Song Jian (Needs a Key Item from the end of Yang Fan or Guo Yi route)
3. Guo Yi (Needs a Key Item from the end of Song Jian route)
4-5. Father or Uncle, in whichever order you like (Needs $50, which needs Courage++ from other routes)
6. Ke Yun (Needs maxed Courage & Rebellion)
7. Old Ge / Ending (Needs Key Items from Song Jian and Father/Uncle routes)
8. Secret / True Ending (Needs a Key Item from Old Ge route)
You can actually do Old Ge’s route before Ke Yun and one of Father/Uncle route, but Old Ge’s route is a Game Ending route, so it’s recommended to do his last.
It took me 27 Loops (17 hours) the get all Endings, though I wasted a lot of them trying to figure out where to go / what to get, so you should be able to complete the game way quicker than me with this guide.
After getting the True Ending, you can keep Looping and finish all the Other Wishes (I didn’t do this)
Next part is the actual Walkthrough section
