Pursuable Bachelors and Route Unlocking
Five bachelors are listed, each with a unique storyline. Fritz’s and Waltz’s routes start locked; completing any two of the three initial routes unlocks them.
A recommended order—Rod, Karma, Rumpel, then Fritz and Waltz—builds plot momentum, but any pair of the first three routes satisfies the unlock condition.
- Record which starter routes you finish to know when Fritz and Waltz become available.
- Experiment with different starter pairs to experience varied narrative bridges.
