Played through twice so far, making some very different choices. I don't think there's a "best" path. Go with the one you like best. I'll probably end up with a few saves trying different stuff, to see how all the branching works. That's one thing I'm impressed with so far, there's a good bit of the game that deviates based on what you do, even something so simple as when you choose to wear the dildo hat (I don't think mentioning it is a spoiler, apologies if it is, but I won't mention what changes when you wear it).so what is the actual best path to play the game?
If you're up for multiple plays, experiment with it! Have fun trying different paths. See what all can happen in the game. If you're worried, take advantage of the game's ability to create multiple saves. When a choice comes up you're unsure of, right-click to open the save menu, create a new save at that point, and carry on. You can later come back and try the other choice.
