In chapter four, give Ryan the rose at the festival.

That will make Alex boil over and lash out in a fit of anger that causes her friends to leave. Later that chapter, remember to make sure you don’t take Charlotte’s pain from her. This puts a lot of faith in his charms and him as a person in a crucial moment. In chapter three, pick Ryan as the one to distract Diane. After doing so, you’ll want to give him a hug to show appreciation for him listening to you. Later in that chapter, Alex will reveal to Ryan that she has powers. It is the first public test of the narrative that will be in contention later and it is important you stand beside Ryan at this moment. In chapter two, you’ll want to back up Ryan’s assertion that you heard Gabe make the call to stop the detonation. This is a timed dialogue option, so you’ll have to act fast and stay close by. In an empty building near the mine, Ryan will be fiddling with some wires and asks which one he should mess with. In the first chapter, Alex is out looking for Ethan with Ryan. You can decide to romance Steph instead, if you wish, without losing Ryan’s favor though you’ll have to make sure to still be hitting the other points. All of these steps with Ryan aren’t make or break, necessary actions to take. Ryan ends up being most closely tied to the reveal at the end, so getting him to support you will be challenging, though it is important to do so in order to get the best ending. This is perhaps the most fraught person you have to gain the trust of. It is a tough choice, but a necessary one. This will negatively impact Alex’s state of mind and hurt her other relationships as well as undercut the chance of getting Charlotte’s support later. It is tempting to have Alex choose to take some of her pain away, but do not do this.

Lastly, in Chapter 3 “Monster Or Mortal,” Charlotte will be at her lowest point. You can then go back to his mother and tell her what is on his mind, showing that you can be trusted after initially not telling her where her son was going. However, if you did not, you will need to track down Ethan by the water and read his emotions. Later in that chapter, if you did reveal where Ethan was going, you can skip talking to him about what he is feeling. It is a lot of money that could benefit Ethan and shows Charlotte the care Alex has for her son. You will need to give her the advice to take the settlement from Typhon. Next, in Chapter 2 “Lanterns,” Alex will need to talk with Charlotte at her dispensary. You should tell Gabe about this as it will show Charlotte that you care about Ethan and don’t want to see him get hurt. In the aforementioned first chapter, Alex will be given the choice to reveal that Ethan is planning to go into the abandoned mine.

Happy game good ending
