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
0:15 Arbor Forest
I have no idea if lying to the giant spider affects anything. Again, someone really needs to make a guide for all the moral choices in the game.
The Toy Sword is weaker than the bat, so maybe I should keep it in case there's a quest for it later.
7:18 Flowerbed Switch
You can't avoid stepping on the flowers if you want to proceed.
8:59 Block Matching Puzzle
If the blocks form a line of 3 or more, they vanish. This means if you do it wrong, you'll be left with too few blocks to match up.
9:24 Arbor Forest
10:51 Mugged
A big yellow guy, Bell, steals Ash's lighter. He warns Ash not to listen to Iris.
13:10 Two Kinds of Block Puzzles
15:39 Diary Page
16:06 Arbor Forest
To advance, you have to attempt to buy the lighter from Bell, even though you probably can't afford it.
The Crimson Skulls almost notice Ash following them.
Bell will pretend to give you back the lighter, only to trap you in a room.
19:53 Bell Poster Puzzle
20:31 Sparing Bell
When you catch up to Bell, he'll challenge you to a fight, but if you attack him, even with a purposely botched attack, he'll be knocked down to 1 HP. I'm guessing the moral choice is to spare him.
23:20 One Last Block Puzzle
24:24 Shadow Knight Target Practice
The Shadow Knight will give you a target practice minigame, where you have to shoot a moving dummy. Every time you shoot, there's a few seconds of cooldown, so even a few mistakes can greatly screw you over. Even multiple of 20 points earned grants one more permanent ATK, but you only get one try at this minigame. Personally, I think it would have been better to list prizes tied to high score thresholds so that the player can retry as much as they want.
25:58 Bell's House
I could try 000-999 on his safe, but I think I should wait until I can find the combination normally.
26:40 Target Practice Personal Best
It was tough, but I got 80 pts. I'm sure someone out there managed to get 100 points for 6 extra ATK.
27:43 Red Room
Turns out it was close to the final block puzzle save point. Still, it might be all for naught because if I fail any moral choices.
28:51 Arbor Forest
31:07 Jinx's Quiz
31:53 Arbor Forest
You'll have to fight two Crimson Skulls, and I'm surprised they managed to beat Iris when she can deal 999 damage and they can't. Maybe Iris is an extreme glass cannon.
Unfortunately, Rose uses force choke in the cutscene, but the hooded man from before drives her off. He doesn't like Iris though and it's implied that he's a mortal that she failed to save.
38:56 Arbor Village
The library has info on game mechanics.
Make sure to buy the Blessed Ring so that your physical attacks have more accuracy. Why does this need to be a separate accessory instead of the default hit rate?
48:00 Arbor Well
Once you go down the well, you'll find Bell's mangled corpse. When you pick up the lighter from the web, the giant spider attacks.
49:55 Boss: Giant Spider
52:17 Soul Piece
Turns out the Giant Spider contained a piece of the Crimson God's soul, and destroying it weakened the Crimson God.
53:35 Grandpa Rabbit
54:13 Flashback
Grandpa teaches Ash about arsonists and why they're stupid.
55:04 Glacies
