Variable Barricade (Switch): Saiba como desbloquear o final verdadeiro do jogo

Variable Barricade é uma visual novel pouco convencional, com uma jogabilidade que lembra um jogo de tabuleiro. Apesar de não apresentar muitas escolhas durante a campanha, o jogo possui, ao todo, 19 finais, sendo um deles o True Ending.

Para ter acesso ao verdadeiro desfecho dessa comédia romântica, é preciso, primeiro, obter o Love Ending de um dos quatro pretendentes de Hibari. Confira a seguir como chegar ao final verdadeiro — não se preocupe, este passo a passo é livre de spoilers!

Algumas considerações iniciais

O grande trunfo de Variable Barricade é a possibilidade de jogar cada rota na ordem que preferirmos. Dessa forma. a ideia por trás das escolhas na rota do pretendente favorito é favorecê-lo, escolhendo as respostas que aumentem o romance (love), e negando a investida dos outros rapazes com as escolhas que aumentam a razão (reason). Uma vez completados os Love Endings de Nayuta, Taiga, Shion e Ichiya, o True Ending ficará disponível.

Diferentemente das demais rotas, não há nenhuma escolha a ser feita durante os capítulos do True Ending. Para dar início ao desfecho desta visual novel, basta começar um novo jogo, pular a Common Route e escolher o True Board na tela de tabuleiros.

Nayuta Yagami

Nayuta é hiperativo, desajeitado e tem algumas manias estranhas. Para os outros personagens, o mais novo dos pretendentes é muito parecido com um cachorrinho, mas o rapaz tem um coração de ouro e fará de tudo para conquistar o amor de Hibari.

Mesmo que este simples guia só foque na obtenção do final verdadeiro de Variable Barricade, a visual novel não se resume apenas às rotas românticas de cada pretendente — afinal, como mencionado, são 19 finais ao todo. No meu ranque de personagens, Nayuta ocupa o primeiro lugar. Qual é o seu predileto?
