Start now: 13 episodes are out and the story keeps going
Waterlily is still coming out, but there's already enough to play it properly: Season 1 has 13 episodes and 177 choices. New episodes go up on the update schedule as soon as the studio announces them.
It's a thriller with a mystical edge, set in the present day, and it has intimate scenes. You choose the heroine's name in the first episode.
The setup is an escape that didn't work
She ran from that night believing she was finally free. The first episodes waste no time proving her wrong. The past trails her, the dead turn out to be very patient, and a near-death scare on a dark road brings people back together. By Episode 4 a single photo says only one word: run. The episode titles read like a poetry syllabus, from "Annabel Lee" to "Lady Lazarus", and that tells you the mood better than any summary.
Pick by route, not by price tag
Declan is the longest route and the one players ask about most: 15 romance steps (the choices that move a romance forward), 6 of them free, and the 9 paid ones add up to 384 diamonds.
Fabian is a good deal: 13 steps, 5 of them free, 362 diamonds for the rest.
Xavier looks cheap because his route is short. Only 2 of his 7 steps are free, and the 5 paid ones cost 219 diamonds. Per step, he's the priciest guy in Waterlily.
What 300 diamonds get you
With 300 saved up, Xavier is covered in full with 81 to spare. Fabian needs 62 more and Declan 84 more. If two of them appeal to you, give each a separate save slot and play the routes one after another. That works better than choosing on price.
Play the plot for free and save the heavy episodes for Diamond Rush
66 of the 177 choices are paid, a little over a third. Buying every paid option in the season would run up to 4,873 diamonds, so Declan's whole route is about 8% of the full bill. That's the case for spending only on romance steps and letting outfits and bonus scenes go.
The three episodes that hit your wallet hardest:
- Episode 13, "Lady Lazarus": 10 of 14 choices are paid, up to 916 diamonds.
- Episode 9, "My Papa's Waltz": 8 paid out of 18, up to 714.
- Episode 5, "The Road Not Taken": 8 paid out of 15, up to 665.
If you haven't reached them yet, play them during Diamond Rush, when paid choices are free in every story. My routine with a new episode: play it the night it drops, pay for the love interest's steps, and put everything else on the Rush list.
