Garden of Eden: walkthrough and guide

One season, three love interests, no free romance

Garden of Eden is a finished story: 10 episodes, one season, with intimate scenes. It's set in Seoul's K-pop world and mixes drama with a detective plot. After a tragedy hits her group, the leader returns to the industry to rebuild their fame and find out the truth about her sister's death. Shadows loom backstage, and even an ordinary idol's day brings new doubts.

Three short routes, none of them free

Castiel, an idol and a member of a group, has the longest route: 6 romance steps (the choices that move a romance forward), all paid, 307 diamonds in total. Seong-hwa, from a K-pop group, takes 3 paid steps for 146 diamonds, and Dean only 2 for 100.

That's roughly 50 diamonds a step whoever you pick, and skipping one costs the romance ground. If one route is why you're here, save its full price before you start. With one season, this is an easy story to finish over a weekend; keep a separate slot per route if you want more than one.

The plot is the expensive part

92 of the 204 choices are paid, almost half, and buying all of them would run to 4,375 diamonds. Castiel's route is about 7% of that.

The priciest episodes:

• Episode 10, "Oversight": 12 of 21 choices paid, up to 701 diamonds.
• Episode 4, "Truth": 8 of 21, up to 454.
• Episode 8, "Intimacy": 9 of 21, up to 443.

I'd buy the steps of the route you love and play those three episodes again during Diamond Rush, when paid choices are free in every story. A separate save slot makes that painless.
