CLANNAD Walkthrough

With CLANNAD now on Steam, a lot of people might be wondering what choices they should make in the game. Well, to help you guys out, we have made a walkthrough that should be quite useful! This walkthrough was designed to be a partner to the CLANNAD Bookclub, so it’ll be following the route order we will be using for the bookclub.

All walkthroughs, with the exception of the Baseball route, will only include choices essential to getting the route. Regular text means that it is a required choice to get the route. ~~Strike-throughed~~ text means that the choice might appear depending on your other choices, but you must not choose it, otherwise it’ll lock you into another route. Italicized text means that the choice isn’t necessary for the route, but would be needed for some bonus scenes. Without further ado, let’s start!

Baseball Route

This is an optional, fun route that’s a great way to start the game. This part of the walkthrough was made with the intent of being able to meet as much characters as possible in one playthrough. As such, it will list all the choices in sequence. Only the bold choices are actually required to get the baseball route.

After Story

After Story is the second part, and what is largely considered the main story, of CLANNAD. In order to unlock After Story, you must have obtained a total of 8 “lights” from the different character routes, and have finished the Nagisa and Fuko routes. Once you have finished those, the “After Story” option will appear on the title screen.
Note: if you lose a light after obtaining it, that will not affect your progress for unlocking After Story.

First Playthrough

In order to get all the lights from the first playthrough, this guide assumes that you finished the Nagisa route and selected all the ==highlighted== choices above, then make the following choices in After Story:

It’s not too much, it’s impossible

Answer honestly

Sing

Ask if there’s more

……

Hold it in

Go look

Second Playthrough (Akio Route)

After obtaining 13 lights from both the character routes and previous runs of After Story, Akio’s route becomes accessible by choosing:

Oh, fine

Last Playthrough (True End)
After obtaining a total of 14 lights in the game, the true end will be accessible by selecting the following choices:

It’s not too much, it’s impossible

Yukine’s Magic Spells

One fun part about Yukine’s route are the different magical spells you can perform, with her help. Well, some of you may or may not have noticed that the characters that Tomoya interact with can change depending on your choices during your playthrough! Here are the choices you must (and must not) pick in order to get the scenes with the respective character.

Some of these choices, however, will automatically count as a loss in the Basketball game, so be sure to save before trying them out!
