Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly Endings Guide (Spoiler Free)

Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly Endings Guide

Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly has twelve different endings to view, and thanks to the Flowchart the game provides, it’s relatively easy to see which endings are available to unlock. However, some endings do not appear from the Flowchart branches, and other endings that do appear in the Flowchart branches aren’t obvious to see how to obtain.

The endings come from several prerequisites, but not every ending requires every type of prerequisite. These include the following:

Dialogue choices
Viewing Short Episodes
Viewing other endings first

Fortunately, the game is extremely helpful when it comes to backtracking and unlocking additional endings. The Flowchart is going to be your best friend during this trek for the endings and the various trophies for each one. Instead of starting a new game, simply load a save and start at the Flowchart chapter marked in this guide. I highly recommend keeping one save from the very last chapter for this exact purpose. Reload that one each time and pick a Flowchart chapter. The game saves your Flowchart progress automatically, so there is no need to save again in the final chapter. I’m not sure I’ve played another visual novel as helpful as this one when it comes to unlocking all the endings, that’s for sure.

Best Ending

Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly endings guide

The Best Ending is the second easiest ending to unlock. Most likely, this will be your first “true” ending, and unlocking this ending is the best way to unlock all of the chapters in the Flowchart you will need to access additional endings.
