<Game overview>
Q: Are there unavoidable bad endings?
A: Yes, some Normal routes require you to get Bad Ending first, before unlocking the Normal Ending.
And the True Endings are unlocked after completing Akari's Normal route.
Each of the four heroines have 2 Normal Endings each. One of them will clearly be better than the other.
Q: How does the game "unlock" endings?
A: It is recommended to keep saves of every choice frame.
When you finish one ending, either start a new game or re-load a save from early in the game.
When you play that route again, you may find that either the plot itself has shifted, or an extra choice or Character Perspective has appeared.

Q: Is there a guide?
A: Shared by someone in this thread, just translate this web page: https://sagaoz.net/foolmaker/game/k/kansen5.html
The endings are listed in the guide in this sequence:
Akari > Satsuki > Tarja > Natsu > True Endings
Q: How is the translation?
A: It's good enough that it doesn't slow down or take away from the tension when things get heavy.
Because the AI translator grasps "Direct meanings" well enough.
Example: MC-kun gently wiped her body with the cloth and water as she sobbed uncontrollably.
But sentences become muddy when characters exchange "inside jokes", especially those culturally-related japes.
Also, the issue with referring to the wrong person persists.
But it's mostly not a problem because you can only have so many companions in the routes; the rest have already joined the Horde.
Q: Story-wise, how is the game different from Kansen 1?
A: Firstly, the story is less predictable.
> You might think an event is game-ending, but no, this is part of the plot.
> The Hot Zone involves an entire island, so the characters aren't confined to a single space, thus allowing each route to develop distinctly.
Second, the story takes place years after the first incident, so characters are already aware that zombie segs virus is real and dangerous.
> Except for all the idiots in the football club who, according to the plot, are jocks who probably don't study or even watch the news?
Third, the MC is a shota.
> The MC is not that strong physically.
Although the plot does take this into consideration, it does not aim to make him feel small for it.
> MC even improves in certain route.
I was cheering when he picked up a girl who had wet herself in terror, and then princess-carried her to safety.
In an earlier timeline, that same girl f*cked him to death while shouting abuse.
Live. Die. Repeat.
Q: How is the game different from the animation?
A: Did you have a bad dream? There is no such animation in existence.
<Characters>
<Natsu>
> Come for her body, stay for her voice.
> Sporty, busty chocolatemommy PTSD onee-san. Treat with care.
<Akari>
> Preppy, perfect, pervert
> She's a fighting flower who wields a naginata. In some other story, she would have been a full-blown action hero. But this is Kansen.
<Satsuki>
> Subtle hotness.
> I appreciate how her heroine portrait is the only one with a sideway glance, concealed eyebrows, and obstructed gaze (glasses).
> Nice True Ending CG because of what it implies.
<Tarja>
> My MMORPG party member can't be this cute.
> The writers figured, correctly, that beastly mating with a short, blonde Nordic cosplayer while she sweetly begs you to impregnate her is an absolute win.
> Her route, however...might feel a tad undercooked. It features the only low IQ moment for certain characters who otherwise acted rationally, even heroically, in other routes.
<Routes>
> For Normal routes, I recommend the following order:
Akari > Tarja > Natsu > Satsuki
Reason being that
Akari route is necessary to unlock True Ends.
Tarja route is not great, not terrible.
Natsu route portrays her differently than in other routes.
Satsuki route connects the dots after you witness everything she does in the other routes.
> You will know you have reached the True Endings when you get Four choices to pick from.
> There is also an unlockable Joke Infection ending.
It's only fun if you enjoy watching infected MC and friend r*pe everyone.
<Overall rating>
I want to give this full stars, but I must deduct a point for how the True Endings were handled.
Character design is great and the characters are likable.
Even side characters get to play a role, instead of solely being disposable plot devices.
The voice acting hits the right notes, especially sweet when heroines are practically croaking their words because they are breaking up with despair or better yet: fear of abandonment.
8/10
