Fureraba Walkthrough (Smee / NekoNyan)

Nie no Hakoniwa

This is a walkthrough for the English edition of the Fureraba visual novel by Smee and  NekoNyan. Fureraba ~Friend to Lover~ is a pure love story visual novel, available for download over at Mangagamer, Nutaku, Denpasoft, or Steam. The game was originally released in Japan in 2016.

This guide assumes you have the adult version of the game, though it shouldn’t make much of a difference. It’s based on this Japanese walkthrough by Seiya-Saiga, so all credits to them.

Fureraba has 4 heroines (Himari, Rina, Yuzuyu, Misaki) and no additional endings. There are a lot of choices, and you’ll need 4 save slots for this walkthrough. Naturally you’ll also unlock all (uncensored) CGs.

Notes:

  • Choices marked with an asterisk (*) are for CG variations (adult edition). You can also see them later from the extras screen.
  • Feel free to adjust the font through the Text Settings if the Segoe Print font is hard to read.
  • This guide assumes you have the adult edition (or the adult patch if you have the Steam edition.
