Something's in the Air

[Wooba]

I'm stuck. Can someone please help I got 39 out of 40 endings and i cant figure out the last ending for Araine B
I have the following
Ice Cream
Rebecca and Araine
Phone Sex
Blackout fun
Celeberity Sighting
House party with araine
Getting drunk
Fuck buddies
makeup sex
safety pullout


Can someone guid eme on what i need to do for the last one

The one you're missing is "In Through the Out Door." You can get it by:
Picking "Did It All!" prequel setting
Picking Action Movie
Saying "Really? Me too"
Saying "What? 'Action Girl' afraid of a little blackout and thunderstorm?"
Then pick the second option when back at her place, first one is for "Blackout Fun"

Thank you! And that makes 40/40.

Anyone help with the Rachel skinny dip ending? I dont even know where to start on that one.

Credit for this goes to Ripe, as I used his hints to get this ending
At the convention:
Get the 4 trivia questions right (she blows it anyway, but thats fine)
Get her face painted
Get her to participate in the costume contest (she wins!)

Thanks. I keep hearing the AP has another branch besides the house party but damn if i can find it. The arbitrary nature of this novel can be quite frustrating. Very well done but I wish it was more free flowing.

So many questions here... for my own use I am noting down hints from here + I took my own notes while playing.
Guess what it will all end up to... probably a new sets of walkthroughs (so my previous comment that I will not do it is hereby overruled).

The walkthroughs will (probably) not appear before the game has been properly released, and if I have read well some things might still change in the final game.

The other "branch" is the very satisfying gamer girl ending, which I only discoverred about an hr ago thanks to guru's help (thanks again)

Get to amusement park and do the following:

1. rollercoaster
2. dunk
3. ferris wheel

On top of that I would add that you should @ dinner:
1. Order Vegetarian
2. Talk about video games
3. Say you play ranger
I haven't tested whether or not this affects the ending but they are all referenced later
Also later, fight or surrender make no difference but you should say she should get her freedom.

Well, when I offered to help I didn't think my PM box would explode lol. Dunno if it was related but I couldn't load this page for the last half hour. It's Mothers Day here, go spend time with your mother. In an effort to stem the tide of people PMing me, here is the endings I've helped people with so far, in no particular order. Massive spoilers so don't look unless you are really stumped. Cited original posters if I used one of your posts to get an ending, let me know if I accidentally forgot to credit you.

In Through the Out Door
Picking "Did It All!" prequel setting
Picking Action Movie
Saying "Really? Me too"
Saying "What? 'Action Girl' afraid of a little blackout and thunderstorm?"
Then pick the second option when back at her place, first one is for "Blackout Fun"

Getting Drunk at Ariane's
Prereqs matter though I'm not sure exactly what does what, picking Strip Club won results in Make Up sex, so don't do that. Other Prereqs result in either Ariane Stripping or you stripping her. If these directions don't help picking "Did it All" will work.
Only other thing to do is let her decide on the movie and then suggest going back to her place. Stopping at the convenience store or not makes only the slightest diff and both will result in the ending.

Gamer Girl
I take no credit for this one as it was guru who walked me through it

Get to amusement park and do the following:

1. rollercoaster
2. dunk
3. ferris wheel

On top of that I would add that you should @ dinner:
1. Order Vegetarian
2. Talk about video games
3. Say you play ranger
These aren't required for the ending but they are all referenced later so I like to pick them
Also later, fight or surrender make no difference but you should say she should get her freedom.

A Man About Town
At the carnival first go to the fortune teller, then go to the snack bar and you will have a diff conversation with Rachel resulting in this ending. Not sure what you do on the other 2 turns makes any diff because Rachel will still end the date

Do You Know Any Gymnasts?
This was answered in this topic by Ariane herself! Use the "Search this Topic" function @ the top of the page

House Party with Ariane
Instead of letting her pick the movie, choose the romantic comedy yourself. Then accept the flyer that is offered to you

Fuck Buddies
After dinner with Ariane, take her home and ask why it was so important. Then say you want a relationship

Make up sex

The Ten of Clubs
This was answered in this topic by ihutch. Use the "Search this Topic" function @ the top of the page

The Nude Photoshoot
Same as regular photoshoot but pick either options 3 then 2 or 4 then 4.
Picking options 3 then 4 leads to same nude shoot plus extras

The Costume Contest
It's either watch the male contest or watch the female contest, I forget which. Just do both and you'll get it

Interrogation Techniques
Do the trivia contest (google the answers if you don't know them)
Go look around the rest of the festival (to get her face painted)
Go check out the comic vendors
I'd be willing to play along with you
From here on out just refuse to tell her anything

LARPing with Arch Angel
Getting the previous one should result in this one as well, if not then just tell her where Mr. Torch is at some point. Worth doing anyway since the extra scenes are kinda neat

Arch Angel
Should be accessed while doing the previous two, think you only need to get her to talk to the comic book guy

Skinny Dipping at Night

If anyone writes a walkthrough and found this helpful, please credit me and the original authors where cited. If not, simply something like "people of shark's lagoon" will be fine as far as I'm concerned.

Again a huge thank you to Ariane for such an amazing game.

Mods feel free to delete or break up this post if I gave away too much

@ArianeB:
Or - and this would be an interesting experiment in itself - instead of just saying "there's 40 endings, find them" the game could introduce a new way of looking at endings - "found a connection between character X and Y" and "found X out of Y connections"

I'm not sure how you could check if the actual connection has been made by the player, but I believe that letting player know what to look for (let's just admit 90%+ of people come to see the sex endings) would work wonders for the game!

That makes a whole lot of sense.

I could do it with a series of locks

Lock 1: The House Party Mystery
Once the player gets the Ariane house party ending and the Rachel house party ending, it changes to:

Unlocked: The House Party Mystery
On your date with Ariane, the house party got rained out, on your date with Rachel it did not.

I know at least 4 other places where odd mismatches occur: the convention, the strip club, the fortune teller's prophecy, and I am working on a new ending with Ariane involving the night club, for another mismatch.

Once all mysteries are unlocked, then story 4 becomes unlocked. I know it is kind of a cheat to spell it out like that, but it seems the best way for people to find it.

Glad I could be of help

More suggestions
Found Rachel's other personalities - with pictures even
Found Rachel's favorite game
Etc

This sounds like a good idea because this game is likely to get a little frustrating.. I'm desperately trying to avoid looking at any walkthroughs and even lists of different endings but I've noticed that even following the exact same path can lead to a different place than before - and I'm sure I saw you say somewhere about doing something for an EIGHTH TIME triggers a different path! Trying to keep track of all that is a bit of a nightmare or has this game just been designed for the cheats?

Fantastic game. I think Ariane's first game is what got me into this genre.

I'm having a little trouble with the Beach Volleyball ending. The one exercise combination I've gotten to work always leads me to getting tired during the Beach Run. I'm curious how you guys managed to get it.

[tlaero]

Okay, I just played story 4. Wow, Ariane, I'm super impressed with the way you tied all the stories together with the 4th. I didn't feel you were too subtle. You had clues throughout the game. But maybe that's me. I'm always more interested in the story than the stats. (I'm the kind of person who reads the quests in an MMO and works out back-stories for my characters, even though those backstories result in non-ideal characters. "What, you took lockpicking??? Why? It's useless!" "Well, when I was ten pirates locked my in a closet and ...")

I know you think that you're making American versions of Japanese Virtual Novels, but as I said before, I feel that you invented this genre. And though the eroticism is lighter than other games, this is a high bar for many other aspects, first and foremost story. That you were able to tell a compelling story with this much user choice is, frankly, shocking.

Phenomenal work, Dear. I can't wait to see what you do next. There's a "Projects" section of the Lagoon where the game designers here sometimes talk about things we're working on and discuss ideas for different games and mechanics. If you ever want a forum to bounce ideas off of, we'd be glad to have you.

The combo I got to work was
Pretend to do 50 leg lifts
Negotiate down
Let me try a mile and see how it goes
Sure I'll give you a ride to the lake

[Shepard]

I'm sorry if this question has been answered before (I did not find it), but... what exactly am I supposed to do in order to get to the convention?

Thanks man!

This game is really fun to play. I'm liking the way it's set out and the storyline. Great set up for a potential sequel in the Fourth Scenario.
The only thing I'm left wanting is maybe one or two more Ariane endings. It seems a bit... "disappointing" that the Heroine has less endings. Not that I'm disappointed in the game, it's fantastic and bug free. I've just come to love Ariane and always left wanting more haha.

[andPS2]

Kudos Ariane for raising the bar for this genre. What a giant amount of work this must have been.
A benchmark for other projects to follow.
Little question how does one get the third paula ending? I got the sita and the gymnasts i guess u have
to fail at the merchant game? But how do u fail cause u always seem to be able to get new chips.

[BeefyStevey]

I'm sorry if this question has been answered before (I did not find it), but... what exactly am I supposed to do in order to get to the convention?

Same question here. I'm at 32 endings, btw.

EDIT: Ahh, found it.

At dinner, talk about Books. Then say you like Fiction, then Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

[Cochise]

Just the week I decide not to check it comes out!!! And it's mother's day today so no playing till later...

Gonna be one long day
