Here is the quick guide for Winter Memories game. Contains all Heroines Routes, Basic Tips, Extra stories etc.
Basic Knowledge and Some Tips To Get You Started
You must absolutely get the Diary Skill “Power of Time” before anything else. It cuts nearly every action’s time cost by half.
Other Skills to prioritize are
- Infinite Film (No more Camera battery loss)
- Treasure Hunter (Needed for certain routes)
- Lockpicking (Needed for Kagami, and to enter occupied toilets/bathrooms)
- Nightwalker (Needed for Kanae, and gives you more time for moneymaking activities)
- At least one Perversion Skill (For Yui)
- Social Skills One & Two (For easier Affection and Mood, and less time spent talking)
Time of Day and Talking
| Morning | 08:00 – 12:00 |
| Afternoon | 12:00 – 16:00 |
| Dusk | 16:00 – 19:00 |
| Evening* | 19:00 – 00:00 |
| Late Night | 00:00 – 03:00 |
| Dawn | 03:00 – 08:00 Unplayable Time |
*You sleep at 22:00 if you don’t have Nightwalker Skill
You can talk to the Heroines (and Uncle) once per Time of Day. They also retain their Mood level throughout the entire day, which makes it easier to max their Affection if you time your conversations with them. I believe getting to a Mood of 80+ will achieve +10 Affection, which is the max you get per conversation. When you do get a Heroine to a Mood of 80+, you need only to talk to her once and her Affection will still be +10, as Affection gain is tied their Mood and if you talked to them at least once.
Example:
- Morning: Finish talking to Yui with a Mood of 89, gain +10 Affection
- Afternoon: Talk to Yui once to increase Mood to 100, gain +10 Affection
- Evening: Talk to Yui once with Mood maxed at 100, but still gain +10 Affection
Addtional notes:
- When an event gets triggered automatically in the (Time of Day), that generally means it will trigger when the time hits XX:00, i.e. the next hour. Otherwise, it has to trigger precisely when the Time of Day changes to the start of the next one.
- If your conversation with someone goes past XX:00, it abruptly ends because the game checks every XX:00 to see if said person should move to another location. You will not be able to talk to them again until the next Time of Day. So again, time your conversations well.
Daily Fortune
Generally, the first thing you should do in the Morning is to go to the Shrine and draw a fortune at the Omikuji. Utilize Save/Load to get the best possible fortune. It costs ￥100 so get your first paycheck by washing the dishes.
| Drawing | Effects |
|---|---|
| Best Luck | Blessed Boy buff (+8 to mood when talking and +3 affection for gifts) Bonus ￥500 |
| Good Luck | Favored Boy buff (+5 to mood when talking and +2 affection for gifts) |
| Luck | Lucky Boy buff (+3 to mood when talking and +1 affection for gifts) |
| Bad Luck | -30 Stamina |
| Terrible Luck | -50 Stamina |
Minigame Perfect Scores
Every Minigame that gives you money always has bonus money after you finish without a single mistake. And the bonus is always going to be higher than your own base payunless you’ve got a good gaming chair. So either Save before every Minigame, or don’t play too hastily. A low but perfect score pays over double what a high but imperfect score does.
Making Money
The Part-Time Waiter Minigame is the best paying Minigame. With a Perfect and High Score, you could earn around ￥6000 to ￥9000 per shift. Note that the Minigame says 60 minutes, but it actually just skips to the next Time of Day. I suggest playing it just before your current Time of Day ends. As taking it at 11:55 will just jump you to 12:00 instead of taking 60 minutes.
The next best paying Minigame only happens on 01/01. No it’s not the stalls at the shrine; It’s actually fishing. When you reach 01/01, you get to earn the “King of Games” Achievement”*, allowing you to skip Minigames entirely. This means you can fish instantly at the Levee, and sell it to the “Fisherman Man” NPC there too, who only appears on 01/01 and beyond. Remember to stock up on bait and use your idle time fishing.
*Play all 10 Minigames (12/31: you play the two stalls. 01/01: you play Calligraphy in the Tatami Room)
Menko & Solo Leveling Up
The Menko Minigame is by far the easiest method to gaining EXP, unlocking new Skills, and actually becoming a pro Menkoer. Every new opponent you beat gives you 20 EXP and 15 Memories, plus an item. Remember to actually level up before you battle another NPC.
The Level Up Bonus: “+50 Memory” is necessary if you want to unlock your Skills in the Diary fast. Don’t worry about the other bonuses, honestly. Lust and Stamina only give +20 (sometimes refill Stamina is a good choice), and money can easily be made elsewhere.
Additional note: The Menko Meter Cursor stops upon Mouse Click RELEASE, NOT PRESS
