Force-Feed Esme or Refuse
Helping Pieter or refusing changes the opening scene. Both branches lead to getting herbs from Anca; the later medicine recipe is the important survival decision.

Answers before the point of no return
Anca Font of Life Choice
Give the Font to Anca for her cure, use it as Coen for daytime healing, or destroy it for Ancient Greaves. These rewards are mutually exclusive.
Read outcome →The Blood of Dawnwalker Endings
There are seven named endings: The Turncoat, The Folk Hero, The Patricide, The Knyazmaker, A Hero They Deserve, Together Forever, and Time Runs Out. Four are normal Brencis finale routes, two are early secret endings, and one follows failure to defeat Brencis within 30 in-game days.
Read outcome →Romance Options
The game has three romanceable characters: Anca, Crake (Marat), and Lacra. Anca is a human witch/herbalist tied to Coen's home. Crake is Marat's rebel identity and the male romance option. Lacra is a vrakhiri and the vampire romance.
Read outcome →Time Limit
The 30-day deadline is an action budget, not a real-time timer. Explore freely, check costs before committing, and finish the family rescue before the deadline.
Read outcome →Withering Away Choices
The force-feed opening changes tone but converges on finding Anca. The consequential task is brewing the correct medicine before the prologue closes. The inventory recipe and detailed walkthrough support three spoonfuls with hot water that is not quite boiling. Staying with Anca adds Page-Turner, 100 XP, and one extra time segment.

The Heart Wants What It Wants Choices
The published walkthrough recommends Andrei’s ring for Ocha’s ritual. The cleaver and pendant fail that step, and using the ring still does not save Andrei.
Read guide →Stronger Than Achilles Choices
The Font offers three exclusive rewards: Coen’s daytime healing passive, Anca’s cure, or Ancient Greaves. Choose for your build or story goal, not a universal best result.
Read guide →Echoes of Silenced Bells Choices
After Leonica, burning the notes and letting Anca continue both preserve Between the Words and her romance chain. The reported difference is the convent outcome.

How to Romance Anca
Quest order: Withering Away/Page-Turner → Echoes of Silenced Bells → Between the Words → Where Old Devils Lie → Stronger Than Achilles → return to the inn.
Read guide →Anca Romance Choices — Checklist
Useful flirt/context choices include staying to study Latin, insisting on the red-cover Catullus book, choosing “kisses” and “grains of sand,” helping with her wound, and choosing warm lines in Between the Words and Where Old Devils Lie.

Complete The Firebrand → Shadows in the Woods → Where Loyalty Lies → What Hunts the Night → What Moves the Dead → Distant Shadows → A Closer Look. Join the Manumits and build enough trust to reach the private conversation outside Svartrau.

Compare requirements before a late choice closes another route.
Best Ending — Goal-Based Comparison
The game does not label one route as the canonical or universally best ending. The best choice depends on the player's desired political outcome, allies, and family result.
Read guide →Is There a True Ending?
No reviewed official source identifies a single true ending. Launch guides document seven named outcomes and a shared post-credit scene, but a common scene does not make one route canon.
Read guide →Secret Endings
1. A Hero They Deserve: reach Corruption Level 11, unlock Shadow Dweller level two, cross the broken bridge near Cursed Chasm in northwest Briar Sloughs, and choose to leave Vale Sangora. 2. Together Forever: enter the Home Sweet Home/Silts Tower sequence and remain with the repeating family instead of following the escape solution.

Time Limit
The 30-day deadline is an action budget, not a real-time timer. Explore freely, check costs before committing, and finish the family rescue before the deadline.
Read guide →Missables
Check chapter endings, active objective deadlines, and irreversible choices separately. Keep a manual save before the prologue closes or you commit to an ending.
Read guide →Point of No Return
Keep a separate manual save before advancing A Deal with the Devil or another ending route. Chapter closure, objective expiry, and the rescue deadline are different risks.
Read guide →How choices work
Action, inaction, and time all shape the route
Some objectives spend segments of Coen's 30-day budget. Day and night change which tools and routes are available. Quests can fail without ending the campaign, and the epilogue can reflect choices that seemed small when you made them.

Our method
Evidence first. Certainty earned.
We compare official game information with written walkthroughs and timestamped video evidence. Immediate results are separated from later quest, character, time, and ending effects. Conflicting claims stay marked until another source or gameplay test resolves them.
