Atlach-Nacha:Walkthrough

Atlach-Nacha is mostly a linear game and each chapter is mostly self-contained, although some chapters have significant change depending on previous choices. There is only 1 ending in this game (except for a bad ending). This walkthrough is not intended to be comprehensive, just a quick runthrough of how to explore most of the paths in the game.

To break it down simply, the events that occur in the story are based off the status of the characters (which you can view after every chapter), and different combinations bring different results. Here are the possible status:

外界: Liberated. Character is free from Hatsune's influence and living a normal life.

贄: Thrall (Lit. Offering/Sacrifice). Character is Hatsune's "food"/puppet.

死亡: Dead. Self-explanatory.

咎有り/咎無し: Trangression (Yes/No). This is a Kanoko only flag that happens early in the first chapter, depending on whether she murders Hatsune's victim when offered.

Each night, Hatsune may "play" with one of her thralls. Different combinations will result in different scenes being available for watching. They are mostly optional.

Character Rundown
Kanako

Trangression (Yes): とどめをささせる

Trangression (No): 放っておく

Kanoko's flag appears early in chapter 1 (Sachiho), but doesn't really play a big part in the story until her own chapter, mostly in the fate of Kazahisa.

If you choose not to "play" with anyone in Sachiho and Kanoko's chapter, there will be special scenes where Kanoko gets needy and comes to Hatsune at night for a tea party.

Sachiho

Liberated:　解放してやる Thrall:　心の隙に取り入る

Tsugumi

Liberated:　殺す Thrall:　気絶させる

Slight variations in her chapter depending on Sachiho's fate.

Takahiro' :

Liberated: Sachiho and Tsugumi are both liberated.

Thrall: 沙千保を使う/ つぐみを使う (when Tsugumi is liberated)

Dead: つぐみを使う (when Tsugumi is a thrall)

Takahiro's chapter varies depending on the status of both of his related characters, including 2 different variants if only one of the girls is Hatsune's thrall. If both girls are liberated, the chapter won't even appear, as he will have no quarrels with Hatsune.

Both listed methods to enthrall Takahiro have different sections written. I personally prefer the Tsugumi (liberated) version.

Kazahisa:

Liberated: 和久を呼ぶ. (Kanoko Trangressed.)

Thrall: 初音を呼ぶ. (Kanoko Trangressed.)

Dead: 初音を呼ぶ. (Kanoko did not Trangressed.)

Bad End: 和久を呼ぶ. (Kanoko did not Trangressed.)

As mentioned earlier, Kazahisa's choice depends both on the choice you make in that chapter, and the previous flag of Kanoko. The Bad Ending has a unique CG if you are a completionist.

Recommended "Routes"
Recommended (Dark):

Kanoko: (Did not trangressed)

Sachiho: Thrall

Tsugumi: Liberated

Takahiro: Thrall

Kazahisa: Dead

Recommended (Light):

Kanoko: (Did not trangressed)

Sachiho: Liberated

Tsugumi: Liberated

Takahiro: Liberated

Kazahisa: Dead

Recommended paths based on your personality type. Mix of good drama while not putting people to sleep.

Harem:

Kanoko: (Trangressed)

Sachiho: Thrall.

Tsugumi: Thrall

Takahiro: Thrall

Kazahisa: Thrall

Fulfill your inner (female?) Rance! Has the most options at night for CG completion. Not really the most interesting plot progression though. For example, Rin barely appears if this path is taken.

Dramatic:

Kanoko: (Trangressed)

Sachiho: Thrall.

Tsugumi: Liberated.

Takahiro: Thrall.

Kazahisa: Thrall

Just a simple change from the above, because the Takahiro thrall path through Tsugumi is interesting.

Happiest:

Kanoko: (Trangressed)

Sachiho: Liberated.

Tsugumi: Liberated.

Takahiro: Liberated.

Kazahisa: Liberated

The path with minimal tragedy. Miyuki is the only casuality in this route. Kind of boring IMO. Unfortunately, even on your best behaviour, you can never change the ending...

Most Number of Deaths:

Kanoko: (Did not trangressed)

Sachiho: Liberate.

Tsugumi: Thrall.

Takahiro: Dead.

Kazahisa: Dead.

For players who want to be like Tomino and re-enact Zeta Gundam.

Psychology Litmus Test:

Play the game without looking at the walkthrough and see which one of these you get!

(Light)

Kanoko: (Did not trangressed)

Sachiho: Liberate.

Tsugumi: Thrall.

Takahiro: Dead.

Kazahisa: Dead.

(Dark)

Kanoko: (Trangressed)

Sachiho: Thrall

Tsugumi: Liberate.

Takahiro: Thrall.

Kazahisa: Thrall.

First-time players will probably play through these choices depending on their personality. Ironically, nice people will not think to kill Iguchi or stain Kanoko's purity, meaning that Tsugumi will be forced to become a thrall and thus leaving the two male characters to an unfortunate fate. Meaner people will unintentionally let Tsugumi go free by ruthlessly killing Iguchi. Alicesoft really threw a curve ball here.
