In this guide, I’ll break down all the character routes and endings in DATE A LIVE Ren Dystopia. If you’re looking to complete every path and unlock all the achievements, this guide will help you navigate through the choices and their consequences.
Complete Collection Guide – DATE A LIVE Ren Dystopia
The story of Ren Dystopia takes place between volumes 11 and 12 of the novel series, continuing from the previous trilogy. While there are more characters to pursue in this game, the number of choices in each route is much more streamlined, making the decision paths brief and straightforward. As expected from the series, Ren Dystopia remains a wholesome, all-ages game with no mature content.
