Symbiosis Walkthrough + FAQ

Walkthrough

1. Where is the storage room?
I didn't expect so many people to get stuck in here, I'm so sorry. 
There's a door behind the stairs and that's where the storage room is! The key is in one of the shelves. 


2. How do I get ending A/B? 
To get ending A, you have to remind Mint not to trust strangers. This will affect his trust on the last intruder and how much he blabbed on to her, influencing her opinion on Magnolia.
There's two ways of doing this:
1) Tell Mint to not show mercy to intruders when you read him the three little pigs. (Third option) 
2) Get caught with the dead body before you can dispose of it. 

To get the B ending, avoid both of those things. 
You can also hide the dead body under Magnolia's bed or the crates in the balcony.

Ending B is longer but neither of these endings are exactly the "true ending".

3.What is the password to the diary/door?
Magnolia and Mint uses each other's birthday as their passwords.
- Mint's diary's password is Magnolia's birthday, you can find it on the card in Magnolia's room.  (411)
- Magnolia's basement's password is Mint's birthday, you can find it in the last page of Magnolia's journal. (313)

Lore Faqs (Spoilers ahead!)

Why does Magnolia want to make a homonculus?
 Long story short, it's for the pursuit of knowledge and her pride as a researcher. She had always been interested in ancient alchemy and their validity since her college days...and as she said, she wants to see things through and prove she is capable of finishing the homonculus project. 

There's a sprout on Mint's head?
He is a homonculus created from a Mandrake, the "body" is the plant's root so the leaves bloom on top. I simplified it to a little sprout for cute factor...although, I get a lot of feedback saying he is creepy. Haha.  


What's the full extent of Magnolia and Dove's relationship?
They were married but after Dove pressed her too hard as she's suspicious of Magnolia's research, they keep arguing about it and gets a divorce. They do still care for each other but knew that they are fundamentally too different, and it's for the best that they're not together anymore.

Magnolia also knows Dove's character enough to trust Mint with her, she's the goody-two shoes type. 

Why does Magnolia still need blod in the ending? She no longer needs to feed Mint?
It's for another research. With the homonculus project wrapped up, she is up to other 

Magnolia's a really awful person? Even though she does it for Mint, she's still a mass murderer? 
She is. 

Why did Magnolia leave Mint?
She is self-aware that she is an awful person and he doesn't want her son to end like her.
Because of her fugitive status, she also has to constantly be in hiding and that interferes with Mint's social life. 

I wish this game is longer. 
Damn, me too. I am working on that, in fact. 

Let me know if you have any more questions, I'll be happy to answer them!
