Dark Tales: From the Lost Soul

This weird horror game (at least for westerners since it was never released out of Japan) is one of those 'choose your own adventure' games where output is highly dependent on the choices you make through the stage.

When you start the game, the only level you can play is Cat & Mouse. Completing it and getting any of the endings unlocks Ghost Writer, and doing the same there unlocks The Honeymoon. And no, you cannot re-play the previous areas until you get some cutscene in Japanese about "tonight's entertainment" in which the host tells you that the game isn't over yet and that there is still more to see. Which means you have to re-play all the 3 levels over and over again until all endings for each are gotten.

If all endings for an area are gotten, you get a cutscene where you are congratulated for discovering all paths/outputs in that area, and getting all 13 endings (three in Cat & Mouse, four in Ghost Writer and six in The Honeymoon) the host thanks you for playing through this somewhat hard game (because of QTEs) and the credits roll is shown after that.

In this video I go through all three levels with the objective of getting Ending 1 first. Then after the tonight's entertainment cutscene I replay each level in order, and getting all the other endings for them, again in order. Especially at The Honeymoon where one of the endings is unlocked after getting a certain one. What is curious is that the game lets you skip previously visited cutscenes. To be honest this really helped me to save lots of time since otherwise this video would take like, 12 hours or something (?) because the game's pacing is slow as hell. Oh and while I'm at it, I also show extra stuff such as death scenes.

I have to give special credits to Spikestuff from TASVideos for these solutions above. Believe me, I couldn't find any comprehensive guides except for a video playthrough that is on their own channel.
