Masquerade Kiss - Kei Soejima Walkthrough
Hey guys, since so many people liked my walkthrough for Yuzuru Shiba I decided to make another walkthrough for Kei Soejima!
Masquerade Kiss is an Otome game made by Voltage inc. housed on their Love 365 app. Rather than using coins to read the story, Masquerade Kiss is a Love Choice story. This means that instead of using coins, you use hearts to make certain choices and to get cgs. Hearts are earned by either A) reading Season 1 main stories of any character on the Love 365 app, B) getting hearts via the daily login bonus, or C) buying hearts using coins.
While Love Choice stories are technically “free”, to get any meaningful progression in the story, you need to use hearts. At a minimum, to get the Super Happy Ending in Masquerade Kiss you need to have 12 affection points. This walkthrough will not only identify all the choices that will require you to use hearts through out the game, it will also show how much hearts each choice costs as well as how much affection they earn you.
Posible Choices:
Ch 3
Hearts: 3 - Affection: +1
Ch 4
Hearts: 10 - Affection: +1 & cg
Ch 7
Hearts: 9 - Affection: +1
Ch 9
Hearts: 8 - Affection: +1
Ch 11
Hearts: 4 - Affection: +1
Ch 12
Hearts: 15 - Affection: +2 & cg Or
Hearts: 15 - Affection: +2 NO cg
Ch 14
Hearts: 12 - Affection: +2
Ch 16
Hearts: 10 - Affection: +1
Ch 18
Hearts: 6 - Affection: +1
Ch 19
Hearts: 13 - Affection: +2
Ch 21
Hearts: 22 - Affection: +3
Ch 23
Hearts: 25 - Affection: +2 & cg
Ch 24
Hearts: 20 - Affection: +3
Ch 25 Need total of 12 affection for SHE
If you do not meet the affection criteria for the SHE you can fill the Love Meter for 40 hearts.
If you achieve Kei’s SHE and get his chapter 23 cg before April 21st you can actually earn Kei’s collector’s edition! Listed is the best/most affordable way to reach that goal.
“Affordable” CG’s + storyline Walkthrough
Ch 3
Hearts: 3 - Affection: +1
Ch 4
Hearts: 10 - Affection: +1 & cg
Ch 11
Hearts: 4 - Affection: +1
Ch 12
Hearts: 15 - Affection: +2 & cg
(Please note: if you hit the option without the cg this will prompt you a second time if you want to do the affection choice except the second time around if you hit the affection choice you will NOT get the cg.)
Ch 14
Hearts: 12 - Affection: +2
Chapter 23 - Necessary for Collector’s Edition
Hearts: 25 - Affection: +2 & cg
Ch 24
Hearts: 20 - Affection: +3
Hearts: 89 Affection: 12
Please note that while I consider this the best/ most affordable to reach the SHE/get all the cgs, this is not the only way to do so. Technically, you could just pay 40 hearts to unlock the SHE without choosing any of the affection choices but be warned that if you want to see the rest of the cgs/choices, you will still have to pay for them later.
Why get the Collector’s Edition
As for why you would want to get the Collector’s Edition, the Collector’s Edition allows you to read the story whenever you want without having to wait for the next chapter to be available. Please note that the only answers that unlock in the Collector’s Edition are the answers that you unlock in your initial gameplay. After you earn the Collector’s Edition, you will be able to read your unlocked answers whenever you like but the answers you didn’t unlock you will still need to purchase.
If by chance you do earn the Collector’s Edition and would like to read the rest of the locked scenarios, you are able to buy them inside the Collector’s Edition. Please note however that they must be bought within the Collector’s Edition. If you purchase a scenario in the normal Love Choice version of the route after you have recieved the Collector’s Edition, the answer will be unlocked only in the normal Love Choice route and not in the Collector’s Edition.
Final Thoughts
My opinion I had last time still stands regarding Masquerade Kiss.
Overall while I do enjoy Masquerade Kiss, unless you are a dedicated Voltage fan, it’s not worth the time or money. Having played all three routes, I felt that the first route released seemed cheaper than the latest released routes. While I don’t know this for certain (I would have to go back and do the math later), I dislike the fact that these routes cost so much money. Hopefully this post/walkthrough will help players get the most they want out of the game without having to spend a ton of money on it! If you guys have any questions, find a mistake in my walkthrough, or can calculate an even better cost-effective way to play this game please let me know!
Also, this took a looooong time to type/create so please do not claim my walkthrough as your own.
Thank you for reading!
