Kugayama Shiori’s Death Diary has a large number of choices throughout its story, and finding every ending can take some time if you are trying to explore everything on your own. While many choices can be selected freely, certain decisions and locations are required if we want to unlock specific endings.
In this post, we will tell you about the complete Kugayama Shiori’s Death Diary walkthrough, including the important choices, save points, routes, game over scenes, Normal Ending, and True Ending. I have organized the different paths below so you can follow them step by step without getting completely lost between the game’s many branches.
One important thing to remember is that the game uses story flags rather than a traditional affection system. This means many of the optional dialogue choices do not have a major impact on the route. You can still explore those conversations yourself, but when a specific choice is needed for an ending, we will point it out below.
Kugayama Shiori’s Death Diary Walkthrough – All Endings, Choices
Before following the walkthrough, there are a few things worth keeping in mind.
The game contains many optional choices that can be freely explored. Not every dialogue option needs to be selected exactly as shown unless it leads to a specific route, ending, or game over.
I also recommend creating saves at the points listed below. The walkthrough uses several save files to make it easier to return to important branches without replaying the entire game from the beginning.
Some choices are also temporary. If an option is marked with an exclamation point, make sure you select it quickly because it may disappear after a few seconds.
Game Start and Day 1
Start a new game and reach the first choice.
For the first option, do not make any selection.
This leads to:

Shrine Donation Secret
There is also something extra worth trying on Day 4.
If you continue donating money at the Shrine, something interesting can happen. If you are trying to see as much of Kugayama Shiori’s Death Diary as possible, I recommend experimenting with the Shrine donations instead of immediately moving on.
Kugayama Shiori’s Death Diary All Endings
The walkthrough above includes the following endings:
- Ending 1
- Ending 2
- Ending 3
- Ending 4
- Ending 5
- Ending 6
- Ending 7
- Ending 8
- Ending 9
- Ending 10
- Normal Ending
- True Ending
Kugayama Shiori’s Death Diary gives us plenty of choices to experiment with, but the good news is that we do not need to worry about a traditional affection system. Most of the time, we can enjoy the dialogue and optional interactions without permanently ruining our route.
The most important thing I recommend is creating saves at every major branch. Several choices lead directly to Game Over scenes or different endings, and having the save files ready makes collecting everything much easier.
If you are aiming for the True Ending, make sure you carefully follow the later-game choices, visit the required locations, and eventually explore every scene on the map before returning to the Convenience Store. With the right route and saves, we can see every major ending without having to restart the entire game each time.
