Of the Red, the Light, and the Ayakashi Tsuzuri | Akaya Akashiya Ayakashino - Goldfish Walkthrough + CG Clean-Up

As stated in my very recent come back post, there hasn't been any guides out for this game - at least not a proper/complete one in English. I have found one in Vietnamese (PC), one in English (PC), and the last one in Japanese (PSP) courtesy of a post on Reddit. The Japanese guide is probably the most complete out of the three mostly because the Switch (and Steam) versions and the platform it was ported from are the same in terms of content, But just using DeepL/Google Translate, I found that there were times that the translated text were kind of hard to decipher so I had to cross-reference it with the previous two I found so I also have to give them credit.

Some things to note before starting:

• The guides posted on this blog will get you 100% on Endings and CGs, but not the list of Index found in the Collection Box. The Japanese guide has them, but the process was just too tedious for me so I gave up in getting all of them; the CGs and endings were enough. To fill up the Index, you need to explore each and every stall during the festival on Day Zero, as well as exhausting/visiting every place in the town map to see every dialogue by saving and a lot of re-loading.
• Have a separate save file before the first option of Day Zero. That way, you can simply reload that save if you need to go back at the start without going through the Prologue.
• If you do go back and replay routes, some characters will have additional dialogues though not that extensive.
• Please do credit me when you re-post this guide somewhere else (on Steam or another site/blog). It was still a lot of work matching the texts/guide up to the updated Switch/Steam version. I would greatly appreciate it!
• These first two paragraphs will be copy-pasted on all of the AkaAka guides with some variations.

==========================================

CG Clean-Up

Go to Title Page -> Fun Stuff -> Goldfish Sleep
Choose choices and places as you please, they won’t matter. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to save here. When you get to the specific prompts, choose:

- Go with cannibalism | Run to the octopus (Both choices have CG variants. Do another play through of Goldfish Sleep to get both)
- Let’s think about it a little more (CG)

---

Play Momiji’s Room to get the last background CG. (This is just character descriptions so you don’t need to read everything if you don’t want to)
