AlineAline Aline, retired 73 years old and still kicking. Despite her age, she’s bubbly, dynamic and like to get straight to the point. GabrielGabriel Gabriel, 19, student. He has a rather cynical side and makes a lot of snarky comments but he’s a good guy at heart, though a bit antisocial at times.
EleeshaEleesha Eleesha, 32, juggling with many different jobs like cashier or cleaner to make ends meet. Can’t help but sigh thinking of the work she’ll have to do after getting out. HassanHassan The son of Eleesha who doesn’t seem to speak at all. Since it’s difficult to know what he thinks, some people tend to treat him as a dumb child…which is a big mistake!

WbW-hintsTo get close to a character, you have to spend as much time with them as possible. If you ever pick another character to talk to, even if it’s just once, you will likely get Agathe’s ending, which is the normal ending.

The last choice will determine if you proceed on the path you were on or get the bad ending instead. Once you’ve seen all characters’ endings, the epilogue will unlock.
