SOURCE-LED GUIDE · LAST UPDATED SEPTEMBER 11, 2026
Sucker for Love First Date walkthrough
Progress First Date by treating the in-game book as the source of truth, saving before route splits, and collecting at least three secrets in Chapters 1 and 2. Chapter 3 then adds a direct romance branch and a timed randomized counter-ritual fight.
Chapter 1 plan
Follow Ln’eta’s ritual book exactly for the standard route. Save before final rituals, then revisit deliberate deviations for alternate or broken-heart outcomes. Inspect optional interactions because secrets from the first two chapters unlock Chapter 3.
Chapter 2 plan
Create a branch save before choosing Ln’eta or Estir. Complete each route separately, then use saves near final rituals to vary heart state. Do not mix Estir’s conditions with Ln’eta’s book.
Chapter 3 plan
After collecting three secrets, enter Nyanlathotep’s chapter. Save before the banishment setup. Choose the direct smooch route for Together Forever, or change the room setup and use the blue book to begin the counter-ritual fight.
Use this first-playthrough checklist
- Read the current in-game book before acting. It is the authority for ritual order, lights, candles and room conditions.
- Make a named save at every route split. Keep a clean save before Chapter 2’s entity choice and before every final ritual.
- Collect and record secrets in Chapters 1 and 2. You need three to access Chapter 3, so do not assume a normal ending alone has unlocked it.
- Finish one stable route first. Only test broken-heart scenes or ritual deviations after you have a normal-result save.
- For Chapter 3, read the clue before choosing a counter ritual. The clues are randomized, so memorizing one video sequence is less reliable than matching the current prompt.
