Koi Iro Crescendo ~Princess Diva of Convallaria~ Guide
Hello everyone today I decided to write a short guide to a visual novel almost no one knows exists. I haven't actually played it, because it's not translated and I don't know enough Japanese but my girlfriend did and she got stuck at one point so badly that I felt the need to write this guide.
What is this game?
In case you somehow found this guide without having already known about the game, here is a small rundown. This is a ~10h long vocaloid mikurin/rinku/hatsune miku x kagamine rin yuri visual novel. It's a slice of life, and nothing that big happens, just some petty drama and some...questionable bad ends. But generally, the main focus of the vn is the relationship between the two girls.
Where to download it from?
The original website is in Japanese and it's this one -> https://maidens-gene.sakura.ne.jp/game/koicre/index.html
BUT when you go to dl to download even if you press the Gumi image, there's a chance your laptop won't download it, since it's considered an unsafe site. If yes then I uploaded it on Archive.org here -> https://archive.org/details/koicre-1 . You might notice a big all caps text in it's description. Yeah that's the reason I'm writing this blog entry.
Guide
The game has 4 endings but unfortunately to this day I still haven't figured out how to get the second one. It probably includes that pesky point system I'll talk about later but in the meantime, we have 3, out of which only one is good, and that one is the mikurin one.
The first ending you can reach is the Gumi Ending. This one is very easy to reach, as it depends on only one choice. On day 14 you will get the option to confess something to Gumi or not, and choosing to confess will end in this ending.
Third ending is the Luka Ending this ending will be the end of you if you don't get lucky and you wish to see the Miku x Rin ending as well. Basically these 2 ends are very closely related. And that is that in day 5 a big mass of choices overwhelm you. Now most of these choices look completely and utterly useless, issue is that they almost all (if not all) contribute to a point system. The points needed for the Luka ending are 300. The points needed for the Mikurin ending are 303. To get to 303 you have to get an almost perfect combination of choices which, except like 4, do not have any connection to Miku or Luka. So how do you get the Luka ending? To be honest i don't know how to explain except with most combinations of choices except a few selected ones. One i know for sure that it works is choosing the first choice at all of them.
The fourth ending is the Mikurin Ending is hell to get, and it took me months before I was able to figure it out accidentally. I reverse-engineered the game, looked through its code, and after hours of working hard I tried to get the text right before the Luka ending and by pressing random choices I got the right one. Depressing and hilarious, really. You can try it by yourself, but i recommend no. One way i know it works is from the beginning of day 5 to do these choices.

If you don't feel like doing this you can go on the archive link and you'll see in all caps an explanation to what you need to do. Just download the save.dat file and replace it. After these 16 choices there are no more and to my knowledge doing these correct locks you into the 4th ending.
Enjoy the game!
