A guide to walk you through the story from start to finish, gathering all the achievements along the way.
Opening notes
This guide is meant to take you from start to finish allowing you to get all of the achievements in the story. Throughout the Heart-to-Heart Fragments, I will be romancing all characters. I won’t specifically mention that I am doing so, but it’s important to note that for the achievements. However, there are two things to note regarding this, if you’re using this guide.
1. For the character Isaac, I recommend not choosing his romance option the first chance you get during his Heart-to-Hearts. This is because there’s an achievement that comes later that requires you to have not done so yet, and you get a second chance to romance him anyway.
2. For the character Kyron, to successfully romance him, you must flirt with him at EVERY opportunity, both during regular interactions and during his Heart-to-Hearts. The only time where this isn’t true comes during a particular choice in the story, which will be noted during the guide when the time comes. This has been stated by Klace directly.
That aside, you will only need to go through the full story once to obtain all of the achievements, BUT there will be one mandatory save, used for getting an achievement that is tied to a choice you have to make.
Also, while you can view the story Fragments in any order, they will be listed in this guide in date order, to help make a better story experience without revealing plot points early, for those that have not yet fully experienced the story themselves. Some Fragments may not have achievements tied to them, but they will be listed, regardless, for the sake of story flow.
With that being said, you’re now ready to begin your experience with Komorebi.

Closing notes
I absolutely loved playing through this visual novel, and I was glad to have remembered it was coming just days before the full version came out, so that I could buy it the day that it did. It proved to be a lot of fun for me to read through and listen to.
I want to thank Klace for making yet another absolutely amazing visual novel. The story was great and the voices really added to the experience, making it an absolute joy to go through.
I also want to thank anyone who has used this guide to help them get through the story and collect the achievements. There were 100 to get through, so, if I helped you find even one, then I feel this guide was worth the effort I put into it. Thank you for allowing me to help you through it.
This guide may only be posted on Steam and GameNGuides. I do not give my permission for it to be posted anywhere else. If you wish to post it somewhere else, please be respectful enough to ask me first. Thank you.
