Heartfall Team 5 route guide
Updated 2026-10-15 · Last checked 2026-10-15
Team 5 follows You Should've Aimed for the Hand. This v1.01 guide covers the entry decision, progression checkpoints, and 1 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
During MR2, accept Martyn’s invitation to commit a crime at the secret library. The accept outcome, not merely knowing where the library is, loads the investigation route.
Event reference: MR2 / RWD2_MartynSecretLibraryQuestStartDesert / outcome1 -> RWD2.
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.
- RWD2: follow Martyn’s library scheme, check the desert base, and return to Renchanting.
- RWD3: prepare the party by inviting people, obtaining soul lanterns and music, and delivering the cake. Follow the specific pickaxe and Scar-invitation errands when they appear.
- RWD4-RWD5: speak with Martyn on the mountain trail, establish the garden, collect bones, and investigate the volcano.
- RWD6-RWD8: continue the aftermath and investigation through RWD8_TheEnd. v1.01 registers one ending for this route, not separate endings for every investigation response.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Can we go to the desert? | Complete the RWD investigation chain through RWD8_TheEnd. The route has one registered story ending in v1.01. | rwd_ending |
