Troubleshooting

Make sure to extract the game to its own folder instead of running directly from the ZIP file. If you don't do so, any saves made will be lost the next time you run the game.

If the game freezes your computer on startup, it's likely caused by a problem with auto-installing fonts. Go into the Data folder, install all of the fonts, then delete the font files and try running the game again. It's supposed to install them automatically, but this seems to freeze some systems - deleting the fonts will stop it from trying.

If dialogue doesn't show up or uses the wrong font (which may cause cutoff text), manually install the fonts in the Data folder.

Walkthrough

The main goal of Misao is to collect six key items to offer at an altar. You can go for them in pretty much any order, so it makes most sense to give the steps for getting each item.

I spoiler-tagged a few of the puzzles; click or highlight the black boxes to show the spoiler text. Remember you can get hints in the 2F Library, so I suggest looking at those before you consult this walkthrough.

Walkthrough (Free Version)

Brain

Go to Class 2-A (2F) and free Kurata from the locker.

Examine the locker Kurata was in to find a Locker Key.

Go to the 1F Staff Room and use the key to open the lockers there.


Head

Go through the scene with Yoshino in the 1F Science Lab. You'll end up covered in blood.

Get the Bat from the locker in the 1F Hall.

Go outside from 1F to the Abyss and go down the well.

Smash the boulders with the Bat, but be careful...

There are secret hiding spots in the sides of the hallway. After smashing the third boulder, run back and hide in them.

Step into the water to wash off the blood. The way will then open.


Eyes

Get the Lilies from the 2F Library.

Examine the blackboard in the 1F Hall for a hint on what to do with the Lilies.

Go to Class 2-A (2F), 2-B (2F), and 3-C (3F) and check the corresponding desks (marked A, B, and C) to find vases. Put Lilies in each.

After all the spots have been adorned, go to the Rooftop from 3F.


Arms

After freeing Kurata from the Class 2-A (2F) locker, go to the 1F Infirmary.

Go to the 1F Staff Room and look for the tranquilizer as instructed, then return to the 1F Infirmary.


Legs

Get the Bat from the locker in the 1F Hall.

Go to the 3F Principal's Office and smash the vase with the Bat for the Emergency Exit Key.

Go to the right 2F hallway and use the key in the room ahead.

After the scene, go to the 1F Boys' Bathroom and open the car door.


Heart

Go into the Girls' Bathroom and knock on the far-right door three times.

Flush the toilet in the stall that opens, then get around Hanako to get Coins from the other toilet.

(If you're having trouble with Hanako, try luring her to one side, wait for her "dash," and then run past on the other side.)

Use the Coins in the 1F Hall vending machine to get Pocari Sweat.

Go into the 1F Boys' Bathroom to see a scene with Saotome and Tohma.

Find Tohma in Class 3-C (3F). Take him to the 2F Library.

Give Tohma the Pocari Sweat to get the Small Key.

Check the capsule containing the mandrake in the 1F Science Lab to release it.

Read the note on the table about salt mandrakes.

Get Salt from the mandrake. Guide it right below the telephone to make it faint from fright.

Place Salt on the floor in the left 2F hallway (in the place where the spirit appears) to stop the looping.

In the 2F Music Room, sit still in the chair and listen.

Use the Small Key to open the chest for the Boot Disc.

Use the Boot Disc on the upper machine in the 1F Science Lab. There's a hint for the password nearby.

The first password is 78450.

Go around the capsules and input another password on the terminal there.

The second password is 31269.


Ending

Once you have all the parts, go to the Altar outside, place the parts, and inspect the lantern at the top.

Return to Onigawara to find out the last thing you need to do.

Make your choice, use the Bat, then return to the Altar.


Truth

The true ending is rather straightforward, so I don't think a walkthrough is necessary.

The secret password it asks for at the end can be learned by talking to Onigawara and choosing the invisible third option.

If you don't want to go back to find it, it's ABANDONHOPE in all caps.

Walkthrough (Definitive Edition)

Cracked Cellphone

Go to Classroom 2-B (2F, right hall) and free Kurata from the locker.

Examine the locker Kurata was in to find a Locker Key.

Go to the 1F Faculty Room (left door). Talk to Ayaka while you're here, and go left into the Locker Room.

Use the key to open the leftmost locker (avoiding the blood spot).


Muddy Boots

Head to the 2F Laboratory (keep going right). Pick up the CD-ROM and leave.

Go to the 3F Computer Room (top-left door). Leave and grab the fire extinguisher in the hall.

Afterward, check the computer with the red screen.

Use the CD-ROM on the other glowing computer and deactivate the security.

Return to the 2F Laboratory. Pick up the Plant Enrinchment that falls off the shelves.

Check the test-tube with the black mandrake to get the Mandrake Bomb.

Go down a room to find Yoshino. Try to help her.

Try to hide in the shelves by the top wall, then give up and take the Scalpel inside.

Use the Scalpel on the bear costume, then hide inside.

Afterward, check the glowing object where Yoshino was.

(Note: When you're all bloody, the fire shutter in 2F Hall (Right) will trigger just by walking over it, so make sure to go around via the classroom.)

Go down to 1F and exit north to the Courtyard.

Walk into the water to wash off the blood and unlock the altar door.

Get the Metal Bat from 1F Classroom 1-A.

Go downstairs from 1F to the Caves.

When you encounter boulders, place the Mandrake Bomb, hit it with the Metal Bat, and run away.

Continue along avoiding danger. At the cliff edge, walk in front of the single mushroom and jump off there.


Torn Ribbon Tie

Get the Seeds from the bag on the Rooftop.

If you didn't already, get the Plant Enrinchment from the 2F Laboratory - it falls off the shelves after passing where the laser was.

(And if the Laboratory laser is still active, see the start of Muddy Boots for deactivating the security.)

Plant the Seeds in the flowerpot in Library's room (connected to the 2F Library).

Use the Plant Enrichment on the Seeds. Leave the room, re-enter, and pick the Purple Lilies.

Go to the 3F Art Room (bottom-left door) and use the Purple Lilies on the set of paints to make them White Lilies.

Afterward, run out of the room, then to another exit, because the monster also follows you into 3F Hall.

Get the Board Notice from the 1F Hall for information on what to do with the White Lilies.

Go to Classroom 1-A (1F), 2-B (2F), and 3-C (3F), and at the corresponding desks (marked A, B, and C), place a lily.

(Note how the orientation differs. Use the teacher's desk as a reference for how to rotate it.)

After all the spots have been adorned, go to the Rooftop and talk to the girls.


Mysterious Bundle

After freeing Kurata from the 2F Classroom 2-B locker, as well as talking to Ayaka in the 1F Faculty Room, go to the 1F Infirmary.

(Note that if you're still bloody from the Yoshino event, you should wash off in the Courtyard before seeing Kurata.)

Go to the 1F Faculty Room and check Kurata's desk (the top-left one). Then return to the 1F Infirmary.


Snapped Hairtie

If you haven't already, get the Metal Bat from 1F Classroom 1-A.

Go to the 4F Principal's Office and smash the vase with the Metal Bat for the Emergency Exit Key.

Go to right on 1F. Walk down the hall without "looking back" (taking a step downward), ignoring the illusion of Misao, and use the Emergency Exit Key on the door.

After the Gymnasium scene, check Kudoh's spirit, follow it up to 3F, and talk to it by the hole to the right.


Red Blazer

Go into the 1F Girls' Bathroom and knock on the right door three times.

Try to leave, and Hanako will appear. (You can leave and quicksave outside at this point to make attempts quicker.)

Wait for her to "dash," then run past her while she's hopping in place. Get to the right toilet and grab the Coins.

Use the Coins in the 1F Cafeteria vending machine to get a Sports Drink.

Find Tohma in the 1F Boys' Bathroom (after the 3F Computer Room scene).

Leave, then take him to Miss Library in the 2F Library. (You have to befriend and name her if you haven't already.)

Once Tohma is in the bed, give him the Sports Drink to get the Small Key.

If you haven't deactivated the laser in the 2F Laboratory or done the Yoshino event, see the start of Muddy Boots.

In 2F Laboratory, check the glowing screen (it turns on after the Yoshino event) to release the Salt Mandrake from the capsule.

Read the note on the table about Salt Mandrakes for a hint.

Guide the Salt Mandrake right below the telephone (and beware of it yourself) to make it faint from fright, then pick it up.

Take the Salt Mandrake to the 1F Cafeteria and use it with the electric grater in the kitchen to get Salt.

Place the Salt on the floor in the left 2F Hall (in the spot where the little girl spirit appears) to stop the looping.

In the 2F Music Room, walk into the top-left desk chair and sit still until the end of the performance to get the Locked Box.

Use the Small Key to open the Locked Box and get the Warding Bell.

Go to the 2F Laboratory and go behind the capsules - the spirit will be scared off by the Warding Bell.

In the Doll Room, take the Red Blazer from the top-right doll.


Ending

Once you have all the key items, enter the Altar in the Courtyard, and offer up the six keys.

Return to Onigawara to find out the last thing you need to do.

Sacrifice either Tohma or Kurata, then return to the Altar.

(If playing the male protagonist, you must try to sacrifice one, return to the Altar, choose who to save, then return to the Altar once more.)
