Chapter 1

Your first steps in Sakura Wars! Learn about dialogue choices, trust points, and navigating the Imperial Theater in Chapter 1. Your friend's guide to starting strong.

Alright, welcome to Sakura Wars! After you've soaked in those opening cutscenes, you'll finally get to take control of our protagonist, Kamiyama. Right now, you're at the station, and while you can totally wander around and chat with folks or poke at things, there's nothing super critical to find here. Just a heads-up!

Your first real objective is to head over to the newspaper stand. Check out the item on the ground next to it, then give the stand itself a good look to read the paper. After that, make your way around to the back and find the old man with that big green exclamation mark floating above his head – definitely go chat with him!

Next up, you'll be treated to a bunch of cutscenes. Quick tip: you can hit the Options button to pause these, skip 'em if you're impatient, or check out the dialogue log if you missed something. Handy, right?

Now, pay attention, 'cause this is important: during the scenes where you're with Sakura, you'll get dialogue choices. These timed events are your chance to build trust with the characters. You'll know if you nailed it based on the sound effect: no sound means no change, a happy little jingle means trust went up, and a sad trombone sound usually means it went down. The number of chimes also tells you how much trust you gained or lost, so listen closely!

Don't stress too much about getting every single trust point right away, though. The game gives you plenty of chances later on, and there are even some hidden optional events that might mess with trust. Honestly, the decreases usually aren't as big as the increases. My personal advice? Just go with what feels right or what's funny! You might uncover some cool character bits or hilarious moments, and that's what gaming's all about.

Some events in the game are actually locked behind your trust level, so keep that in mind!

Day 1 Daytime

When speaking to Sakura

  1. You look gorgeous: Trust UP!
  2. What are you doing here?: Nothing.
  3. How about a date: Nothing.
  4. No answer [Let time run out]: Trust down

After that, the story keeps rolling.

When speaking to Sumire

These choices here are just for story info, no trust involved. After you pick

Chapter 2

Sakura Wars Chapter 2 walkthrough covering Day 1 Daytime and Night events, dialogue choices, bromide locations, and hidden events.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin Chapter 2 on Day 1 Daytime. In the Dining Hall, your first dialogue choice affects trust: choose "Let’s kill some demons!" for Hatsuho Trust UP, "Let’s put on a show!" for Sakura Trust UP, or any other choice for trust down.
  2. 2
    Meet Anastasia. Choose "I’m Seijuro Kamiyama. It’s a pleasure." for Trust UP.
  3. 3
    Meet Reiji. Choose "Glad we’ll be teaming up again!" for Trust UP, or "No answer" for Trust UP.
  4. 4
    Go to Sumire's room. After the scene, interact with the pedestal and reply with anything. Then, when Kamiyama is out of costume, choose "I gotta admire the technology." for Trust UP.
  5. 5
    Go to the Archive room. Read the note on the rightmost bookshelf for exploration hints. The note's contents change between daytime and nighttime phases.
  6. 6
    Find the 2 hidden events referenced by the "Disciples of the 13 Tenets" riddle: Speak to Claris in the Archive and Anastasia in the Music Room.
  7. 7
    Locate bromides: One is on the bottom right corner of the large table in the Control Room (take the Elevator down). Another is behind the large front desk in the Accounting Room (where Kaoru is). The third is behind a potted plant on the first landing upstairs from the main hall, after turning left and going up the stairs again.
  8. 8
    Engage in secondary events. Speak to Komachi in the Main Hall. Choose "How about red-and-white manju?" for Trust UP.
  9. 9
    Buy another bromide from Komachi; your total bromides will now be 12.
  10. 10
    Speak to Itsuki in the Main Hall. This event triggers and increases her trust (and gives a new nickname) only if you have a specified bromide from the last chapter.
  11. 11
    Go to the Dressing Room and examine the poster in the back for a "pervy" event. During the analogue LIPS (timed dialogue choice), stop at any amount EXCEPT MAX to avoid being caught and losing trust.
  12. 12
    Go to the Courtyard and speak to Hatsuho. Choose "Of course!" for Trust UP.
  13. 13
    In the Main Hall, speak to the woman in the hat. After agreeing to help, a tutorial about the timer will begin. Go upstairs, turn left towards the parlor, and reach Hatsuho and a girl to clear the event and gain trust with Hatsuho.
  14. 14
    End the daytime phase. Interact with the platform on the second floor of the Main Hall and answer anything (choosing "tell a joke" yields a funny line).
  15. 15
    Go to the Elevator, head to the Hangar, and speak to Reiji. You can reply with anything (choosing "Killing time" leads to a funny scene).
  16. 16
    Go to your room to end the daytime phase. Uncompleted bromides and events are lost for this playthrough.
  17. 17
    Begin Day 1 Night. After scenes, you will get a text from Reiji and have a scene with him on stage. You can choose anything here.
  18. 18
    In your room, another event occurs. Choose "Here, have a snack." for Trust UP.
  19. 19
    Leave Kamiyama's room and watch the next scenes. You will receive a text about Koi Koi Wars, a mini-game card game. Sakura is the only available opponent at this point; more will be added as you advance the story and defeat other players. You can play Koi Koi Wars from the title screen or during any exploration phase.
Tips
  • Dialogue choices significantly impact character trust levels.
  • Pay attention to the hints in the Archive note, as they guide you to bromides and hidden events.
  • Avoid selecting MAX on the analogue LIPS during the pervy event in the Dressing Room to prevent losing trust.
  • Some events and collectibles are missable within a playthrough.
