Having trouble with the game? Keep dying in episode 7? Check the common route walkthrough for more tips!

In order to proceed past episode 7 you need decent friendship (hidden stat), thirty or more affection with Alex (blue heart level), and eight affection points with Liam (grey heart level)

​You do not need to strictly adhere to the answers in this guide and it is possible to advance by picking different options, however these answers will maximize the amount of friendship points as well as the amount of affection you can gain with Alex and Liam.

Spoiler-free Hints

• Alex at his core is a person who cares deeply and passionately for his friends and family, show him that you care just as much as he does. 

• Alex and Liam are best friends, you need a good relationship with both of them to enter a relationship with him.

• Alex and Zacharie have a special CG together. Unlock it by becoming good friends with both of them.

• Valerie needs to be good friends with everyone on the team, try not to be too mean to your friends.

• Alex is a bit reluctant to enter a relationship, be patient but show him you're serious, he will not give Valerie a chance if she has not expressed that she is serious about him.​

Specifics

In order to enter his route you need to become best friends with Liam (Yellow Heart level or higher), Max Affection with Alex (Rainbow Heart), and 70 friendship points.

When given the option to become team leader, you must ask Alex to Co-Lead with Val. When Zacharie asks Valerie who she has a crush on, you must pick Alex to unlock his route. 

Hanging out with him in episode 13 is not required, but recommended for a boost in affection. However, depending on his affection, you can get an early game over. In order to advance to e14:

• Alex needs to be at Yellow Hearts (Orange to be safe). If Val has a crush on Liam, Alex needs to be at Green Hearts and Liam needs to be at Pink Hearts.
  

These choices gain little to no affection with Alex, but will gain friendship points or avoid a loss in friendship.
These choices are ones which gain affection with Liam and don't cause you to miss out on any points with Alex.
