Description:
Ash is a high school student who suffers bullying for his dark past, but he suddenly gets isekai'd to a nightmare world full of monsters. A fairy, Iris, wants to guide him to the Soul Gate that will take him home, but can he really trust this stranger? Worse yet, he'll also have to attack and dethrone the Crimson God, who wants to use the Soul Gate for malevolent purposes.

0:00 Recap
0:16 Soul Gate Tower
Melody gets cold feet and leaves the party because she doesn't think we can beat the Crimson God, even though she was the one who told Ash about the Soul Pieces weakening the CG.
The corpse of the grandpa rabbit is in here for some reason. It prevents you from exploring the east side of the tower.
You'll find a book detailing Ash's achievements and social standing with other characters.
4:49 Red Room
You should now be able to open the Beast's door, but I recommend doing that after some story events, since you can get some better armor that way.
5:02 Crimson God's Bullying
At the boss door, Ash gets cold feet because Melody isn't here to back him up. The Crimson God grabs him from beyond the boss door anyways and forces him into a fight. Ash will not accept any player inputs and will instead spend the whole time praying while the CG spams laser attacks. At the last second, Iris will swoop in and take Ash back to the Fallen Temple.
12:35 Flashback
We see Ash and his therapist, and Ash dreamt that God destroyed the world. But we never got a flashback for what happened between Ash and the church.
13:40 Fallen Temple
Ash questions Iris about her forcing mortals into Below, and she admits it. Ash is enraged and attacks her, with all non-attack options disabled. Once Ash lands a hit, Iris is dropped to 1 HP and you have the choice to kill or spare her. Melody is disappointed to learn the truth about Iris, though she did always suspect it. And yes, she's the one putting up the graffiti to not trust Iris.
Ash throws away his lighter out of despair.
The Crimson God shows up to grab Ash and Melody. Bell attacks CG and manages to free Ash, but CG kills him, for real. You get his hat as a piece of armor.
Ash returns to the start to pick up the lighter and the grandpa rabbit appears. He leads Ash to a door with three heart holes, which are meant for the three soul pieces. This creates a transport between the Soul Gate Tower and the Fallen Temple, which is handy if you missed the first diary page.
25:59 Soul Gate Tower
Turns out CG isn't the true god of the world and that there are supernatural beings who rank higher than him. Somnium is the god/demon in charge of facilitating the human sacrifice ritual, which is why Rose had the potential to steal the Crimson God's wish.
27:29 Diary Page House
At the house with the empty diary, you can now slot in all the diary pages to reveal the rest of the house, which reveals more details about Delilah and how she met the Crimson God. Also, Father Joseph is involved somehow. I'm guessing Joe was always a bad dude even before he met Ash and may have been involved in Delilah's suffering.
Once you've seen everything and leave, you'll run into Iris if you spared her.
33:57 The Beast's Door
It might be possible to bring Melody in the postgame, but it feels chronologically wrong to do so.
Obviously, you should reject the Beast's words, since they represent the evil within you.
36:25 Boss: The Beast
He will use attack patterns from many different foes, including the poop attack!
40:14 Soul Gate Tower
You'll arrive in time to save Melody. The CG tries to play the victim before starting the final boss fight.
42:45 Boss: Crimson God
Remember to equip Melody with good equipment and feel free to spam Elixirs.
Once you beat him, you are given one more chance to join him, but f*** that!
If Iris is spared, she'll deal the finishing blow.
52:40 Deliliah
Turns out Iris, Rose, and that red spirit were all pieces of Delilah's soul.
55:11 The Road Home
56:43 Changes Outside?
The Crimson God's defeat is recorded in Ash's record book.
Peter's dialogue doesn't change.
57:06 Going Home
Ash and Melody entered 10 years apart and will return 10 years apart too.
58:56 True Ending & Credits
If you got the true ending, you will read a letter from Gramps.
