Void Stranger – Tree Hugger Playthrough Guide (with Spoilers)

This will be my routing for hugging all the trees with what I felt was minimal effort.

Tree Hugger Guide

Intro

This routing will spoil two aspects of the game.

I heavily suggest playing the game thoroughly before using anything in this guide.

If you feel you’ve seen all the cutscenes already, then it’d probably be ok to keep reading.

Seriously, if you care about routing spoilers, this is where to turn away from the guide.

These are all the same route, just with different things they expose to let you choose how much you want to piece together yourself, if at all. First one is minimal hand holding. The middle two each only expose one aspect on top of the minimal. The last one is a full disclosure of the entire route and the aspects it involves.
