Mesmalie doesn’t particularly have hard achievements, but “Memories of Maybe” is most likely the one that will take the longest. It requires all of the gameover sequences to be discovered throughout the game, and this guide is meant to help and serve as a checklist for anyone going for the achievement.
This guide might not be entirely accurate and if any endings have been missed please let me know!
The easiest way to keep check in game if the chapter has a star next to it; this indicates every gameover has been found in the chapter.
