I've been conflicted on this one. In one of them, Julius sacrifices himself for the baby, another has Avery and Julius sacrifice themselves together, and the last one has Julius kill the baby himself.

I'll lay each of them out here so you don't have to remember.

Episode 1: In the woods, you, Stella and Duke are ambushed by Ditchlings. You have to choose between Duke and Stella's dog, Gretchen. If Gretchen gets taken, she is put down by Stella (or potentially you, with a high enough relationship). The consequence is, unless you talk to the dog militia or Tabitha about her being missing, you won't be able to find her in Episode 4. Duke being alive automatically makes Franklin avoid getting shot by Julius once he enters the basement in Episode 5. If you try to kill the baby, Julius and Franklin get in a shootout, killing them both. Julius will also die by Duke's hand if Bo doesn't make it.

If Duke dies, the police gets involved unless you avoid them with Street Smart. This time, unless you go with Avery to the farms, Franklin gets shot when going down the basement. He can't pick up his gun in this state, so when you try to kill the baby, Avery takes a bullet for you.

If you have Powerful Build, you can save both Gretchen and Duke, and also Bertie if you want.

Episode 2: In the Shaw mine collapse, you need to choose between taking Rosalina with you or trying to get Becka and Alexis out. If you take only Rosalina, the latter two are stuck down there. She also kind of hates you. Also, the strike will be larger. If Rosalina isn't injured, there's a chance for Oscar to investigate the seal in the library if you also saved it from the ghost.

If you take Becka and Alexis with you, Rosalina's foot will get clipped by the rocks. This has the effect of Oscar being worried for her safety, so he either doesn't check out the seal in his basement in Episode 5, or straight up goes to leave town if the doctor isn't alive.

You can save Alexis and Becka without needing to sacrifice Rosalina's foot if you have Street Smart. This also makes it so the cops don't get involved.

Episode 3: You get put on trial by Charles Shaw Junior, the vengeful spirit roaming in the town hall. To stop him, you have to give your years to him. If you do, ghost makes you old, which causes you to be able to miss a lot of stuff, like not being able to go to every location in Episode 4, or Enoch's study in Episode 5. It does let you get a check-up from Doctor Kelly, if you're into that. Getting rid of the ghost allows for Oscar to investigate the seal, but only if Rosalina isn't injured.

If you refuse, the ghost stays in the library, and it will become closed down. This causes Oscar, Rosalina and Pixel to stay at the Old Maxwell Place. This makes him either go into the library in Episode 5, or straight up leave town if Rosalina is injured and the doctor's K.I.A.

If Tabitha is with you during the ghost hunt, and you have a particularly good relationship with you, she'll take the burden and sacrifice HER years instead. For the time being, this only makes her old.
With Book Smart, you can gaslight the ghost to death, saving the library without sacrifice.

In Episode 4, Reese turns into a monster, and plans to kill his own mother. If you let him do this, he'll leave you with yet another bread crumb for the police to convict you with. Also, Kelly's dead, so there's no one left to treat Rosalina if she is injured, OR Franklin for his bullet hole. Reese can also show up in Episode 5, like when he frees you from the cop car (by eating Derekson). Also, it's kind of required for his romance without a trait save.
If you help Kelly subdue Reese, both of them stay alive, but Reese hates you now. That's kind of it.

If you call Tabitha before this decision, she'll show up and BLAST Reese in the face with her shotgun. This allows the opportunity to burn him alive, killing him.

If you have Hot, you can charm Reese into not killing his own mother. Also, he will show up in the woods if you go on your own or with Stella to the farms (or when you go to Tabitha). He'll try to stop you if you intend to go to Tabitha.

In Episode 5, Bo is in a precarious situation, as there is something attached to him: Joseph, the pumpkin baby hybrid provided by the witch. AKA, Julius' son. You encounter it in a basement. Firstly, you can wait and let Bo die, bringing the baby into the world. Second, you can try to kill it, which causes either Franklin or Avery to get shot depending on if Frank got shot before this decision. Julius dies no matter what, by his own hand or Frank's. If Avery gets shot, you can either let him die, or use HIM as the baby's host.

With Keen Eye, you can get 3 other outcomes: Julius can sacrifice himself for the baby to be born, Avery and Julius can team up (and potentially live) to nurture the baby, or Julius can realise he doesn't NEED a son, and kills it himself.

Also in Episode 5, there's the whole Kaneeka thing. If you let her be absorbed, Carmilla will replace her. This will also retcon every mention of Kaneeka from this point forward. If you save her, Sybil is gone, and will not be able to use her power anymore.

With Mystical, you can stop Sybil's illusion. From here, you can either get a free third trait (as long as it isn't Talk to Animals), get Tabitha's or your own years back if they were sacrificed, or have Kaneeka absorb Sybil, granting her the same power as her mother.

My fingers are dead.

What are each of the variations of Oscar when you try to go to him in Episode 5?

>!My pick for this is the three farm tracks, A Feud Sown in Blood, New Growth and Bounty's Womb. Sure, they're outclassed by the Slay the Princess-level choir right after, but these set the tone perfectly. The first one plays when you arrive at the farms, and that violin or whatever it is makes me feel unsafe, even behind the screen. New Growth amplifies this feeling as, for most people, it's immediately accompanied by the hanging corpse of Sheriff Earl. And Bounty's Womb is not only name after the seal you encountered right before this plays (you can find notes in the forbidden wing that reveal the names of the seals), it's also mad unsettling, and the ticking clock you can hear perfectly conveyes the urgency of the situation, you're literally running out of time.!<

Unless it's your first playthrough, there's no reason to not get Becka and Alexis to safety. Sure, Rosalina loses her foot, but not only is that way more manageable than life-long trauma for all 3 teens (if Becka and Alexis even live through this), but Rosalina also doesn't relentlessly hate on you, AND the cops will be less suspicious.

Watch my mc die in the final chapter because Rosalina could have saved me if she wasn't injured

Feel free to put your own down in the comments because I'm not very good at predicting things myself

What I mean is the most trait-specific actions, narration and dialogue options in a singular run, just to see if it does something in the Final Chapters. I don't know which other trait synergizes the most with PB but if you know, share thy knowledge.

I already did this one but I'm sure there's gotta be more. So far I've found...

Mystical + Powerful Build: Allows you to reconsider your actions if you decide to rush Tabitha, prompting that this is not a good course of action that you should be taking

Street Smart + Powerful Build: Convince Becka and Alexis to leave the mine while using the street smart trait save, via intimidation alone

Hot + Powerful Build: "I can trust the police :)" when picking a person you trust

Mystical + Keen Eye: Ability to disarm the trap in Julius' home without needing Street Smart. During the climax, the option to point out Kaneeka's missing glasses appears sooner.

Keen Eye + Powerful Build: Allows you to find the notes on the seals in Enoch's desk without needing Street Smart

Book 'n Street Smart: Under the right conditions, allows you to accuse Tabitha of killing Pearlanne, and Pearlanne of killing Wayne

Talk to Animals + Mystical: Allows you to access the vials and read them during Stella's forbidden wing route, unless Gretchen got shot sent to the farmstead. Book Smart can also read them

Post any more of them in the comments and I'll probably update this list

Post your strats down below

The wiki hasn't updated to accomodate for most of episode 5's content, which includes the list of trait combinations with unique dialogue. So far, I've found that if you rush Tabitha with Powerful Build, Mystical will stop you, and you have a chance to back out before you get yourself shot. I'll be adding these to the wiki so any trait combo-specific stuff from previous episodes that was added in the episode 5 update (for example, menacingly walking towards Becka and Alexis if you're using the street smart save) are also welcomed.

Personally, I'm excited for two things. First, how it starts, and second, what happens to the pumpkin baby once it has been born.

Only if Avery survives though, it's their party after all

Usually it just uses an ai voice to read out the text, but in the accessibility options there's something called clipboard and debug as other options. What do they even do?
