Shining Resonance Refrain: Affection Guide

During the story of Shining Resonance Refrain, as early as Op. 2, players can interact with certain NPCs and by selecting the proper response their bonds can be deepened. Players can deepen or lessen their bonds so choose carefully! Keep the individual personality and behaviors of the NPC in mind when interacting with them. In this guide I will show you how to unlock unique endings according to each NPC.

Shining Resonance Refrain: Affection Guide

When bonds are strengthen enough, during camps, players can invite the intended NPC to a night event. With a super deep bond, players can invite the intended NPC on a series of dates. With enough affection and dates, players unlock a unique ending. Below are some of the interactions players will encounter.
