D.S. Dal Segno (or just Dal Segno on Steam) includes a common route with five heroine routes and two additional endings. Some of these have unlock conditions.
This guide will tell you about the choices to access the various routes, and explain the situation regarding the patch.
Adult Content Patch
If you have purchased the Steam version of D.S. Dal Segno, you can download the free 18+ DLC via MangaGamer website. Unusually, the patch is not listed via the regular store search, so you may wish to bookmark this link.
To install the patch, unzip the folder and navigate to the folder titled English or Chinese depending on your version. Run dstupdate.exe and choose the location where the Steam version of D.S. Dal Segno is installed, then click Update.
Alternatively, you can buy the full version of D.S. Dal Segno on MangaGamer which includes all of the content without any requirement for patches.
Route Order and Choice Explanation
Io, Noeri, Hazuki, and Himari should be completed first. There is no recommended order for these four heroines.
The choices in the guides for these four heroines below allow you to choose to enter either the Io/Noeri or Hazuki/Himari routes with your final choice. You may wish to save on the ‘Think about…’ choice to easily return to this point. The normal ending can be done at any time, but is only required to unlock the final CG in the gallery.
The Ame route is initially locked. After completing the four above routes, Ame’s route can be accessed. Some new choices will only appear after this is unlocked. These choices are listed below in italics.
