I am slowly playing through this for the first time and found I'd lost Helayna from my playthrough for some reason (digging back through the script files, I think it was because I had Rowan give her space rather than give her a hug during what I wrongly took to be a fairly non-consequential scene).
The question for Helayna is... Complicated, i don't know if it's finally completed everything related to her, as she was a minor not important character since the beginning but many ppl ended liking her and the Venus Noire Team ended giving her "some space"... So, in resume, theoretically i don't know exactly in what week you are but before week 40 you must have iirc an event in which Helayna speaks with Alexia to escape, if not, then Venus Noire Team must have something planned later for her for that branch you choose (which only God knows when because
Rein doesn't post in the op what they are doing actually nor how it goes the planned progress sheath right now).
Now I've reached the Orciad stuff and am worried about similar unforeseen events: From what I can tell there's little to choose between the three potential candidates (or helping the girl escape if you're on a goody twoshoes path) for any objective reason, so are there any spoilery consequences to the choices here I should be aware of?
Whatever you choose it doesn't have real consequences in this game, you must known that this is just the First Act of a planned Three in total, supposedly the decisions taken here will affect the next two games, but until then before the releasing choose whatever you want, explore them, it's like go to voting, you must select the worst *i mean* less bad choice (yeah right...).
Oh... I almost forgot, if you release the girl, at the end, the only spoiler i can give you is... Fuck Werden if you want that girl saved. Choose Werden and you will make
Rein his day because...
I'm the one who wanted you to suffer.
The game design doesn't really invite starting over if something goes awry, so I'd rather have the warning up front.
Because of that, save constantly, but sometimes between some versions things just got broken...
(The walkthrough linked in the OP is just a scene list, which is fine for what it is but not much help with questions like these.)
When you get the likes of this games you will accustom to play for some "paths" more than just the scene list, there are scenes that are impossible to achieve depending of the options you have taken.
