Heartfall Team 0 route guide
Updated 2026-10-15 · Last checked 2026-10-15
Team 0 follows Have We Been Here Before?. This v1.01 guide covers the entry decision, progression checkpoints, and 2 registered story endings. Keep a separate save before leaving the opening route.
We checked the unencrypted data in the official free Linux v1.01 build on 15 October 2026. These are data-derived route and ending conditions, not a claim that we played every branch. Later patches can change them. We do not redistribute the game, dialogue scripts, or ending artwork.
Route entry and branching decision
Continue the opening with Scar into the desert. Do not accept another route invitation. If the Bad Boys alliance was formed, choose Forget at the first night oath reminder to remain on the main path.
Event reference: Session1_MR_Night / Main route start fr; BB1-EndSessionDialogue.
Progression and key choices
The session IDs below identify progression in v1.01; they are not a universal chapter count shared by every route. Complete the active quest before moving to the next checkpoint.
- MR2: build the desert tower with sandstone and check on Pizza. Decline the cow-heist and library-crime invitations to stay here.
- MR3: obtain enchanted gear, retrieve Pizza, set the reputation board, and place seven torches. Leave the goose alone to avoid the Court branch.
- MR4-MR6: follow the enchanter and trap objectives, then complete the desert chores and the memorial for Pizza.
- Before MR7, collect at least four mr_alt_ending_count increments. Four explicit opportunities are: stay quiet during MR2BigBMagicLines; stay silent about the chestplate in MR3 CleoPizzaDeal; answer Yeah, of course in MR3 RedScar; and ask Bdubs and Cleo to go easy on Scar in MR4BdubsCleoMountains.
- MR7 checks mr_alt_ending_count >=4 before loading the alternate Martyn confrontation. There, taking the blow for Scar sets mr_alt_ending_locked_in; attacking Martyn continues without that flag.
- MR8: finish the final sequence. The saved MR7 flag, not a last-minute ending menu, determines the ending.
Ending conditions
Good reputation means the game passes its named good-reputation check. We do not invent numerical reputation thresholds. Conditions apply to this route, not every appearance of the same character.
| Ending | Required branch or condition | Build ID |
|---|---|---|
| So That's How It Went | Finish MR8 with mr_alt_ending_locked_in absent. Either fail the earlier mr_alt_ending_count >=4 check, or attack Martyn rather than take the blow in the alternate confrontation. | the_end |
| That's Not How It Went | Collect at least four mr_alt_ending_count increments before the MR7 check, take the blow for Scar in MR7ALTMartynMoment, then finish MR8. Taking the blow sets mr_alt_ending_locked_in. | alt_end |
