I ntroduction to the Guide
Hello, and welcome to the Wayhaven Guide, Book One Edition! This is a fan-assembled and unofficial
guide that tracks stat changes, relationship points, and significant text variation! We put this together in
our free time and out of nothing more than a love for the series and a dedication to helping fellow fans, so
please forgive any typos you might see or errors in the guide, and don’t hesitate to contact us to make us
aware of them so we can implement the necessary corrections.
Here are just a few general notes and tips to start with, and some things to keep in mind as you make
your way through the guide:
1. This was designed and written with people who’ve already played the series in mind. It uses
shorthand for the love interests names that those following Mishka’s blog are familiar with [A for
Ava/Adam, N for Nat/Nate, M for Morgan/Mason, and F for Farah/Felix], and there are spoilers
throughout.
[2.] We haven’t included any sort of text leading up to the choices at this time, as the guide is already
so long without it. Instead, the choices are labelled numerically. Therefore, this will be easiest to
use as you’re reading along so that you can find the corresponding choices more easily, rather
than looking for what a specific choiceschoice’s consequences will be independently. If there’s
demand for text leading up to the choices in the future, we will consider adding it at a later date.
2.[3.] As is the case in the game, some of the stats (those that denote the Detective’s Personality and
Traits) are paired together, so that an increase in one direction means the opposing stat is
lessened. For example, gaining points in Charming means your detective is less Intimidating, and
so on. For simplicity’s sake, these paired stats are referred to with just one “side” of the scale, all
of which are on the left/red side in the game’s Stats screen. This means that if you want a
Detective that predominantly uses the “Mind” trait, make sure to focus on choices that will yield a -
Heart% result, if you want a Detective that Bends The Rules, target -By the Book% options, etc.
We hope this has limited potential confusion with regards to the stat percentage changes, rather
than made it difficult to understand.
3.[4.] Rebecca has two different relationship stats, one of which corresponds to the Detective’s past
relationship with her, and the other that represents the current relationship. The past relationship
stat is referred to in this guide as “Mother” and the new relationship is called “Rebecca”. “Mother”
will not change regardless of your choices after it’s set during your first interaction with her,
whereas “Rebecca” can change as much or as little as you want it to, in either direction. At some
points, the relationship between these two stats can influence the narration, and that variation is
detailed in the guide where it occurs.
4.[5.] Similarly, Bobby can have two distinct relationship stats if their “path” is triggered in Chapter 9.
The first stat, which everyone will have, is denoted as “Bobby Relationship”; this stat is static and
does not change, and it influences the nature of certain interactions with Bobby and how the
Detective will react to them. The other, which is only present for players on the Bobby path, is
denoted as “Bobby New Relationship” and can increase with different choices made.
5.[6.] The game has a few hidden stats that relate to a Detective’s ability to accomplish certain
choices, but aren’t shown visibly in the Stats screen. One such example is the Energy stat, which
comes into play during the Detective’s final confrontation with Murphy. We’ve included these
hidden stats in the guide to show you which choices will impact them, but you may want to keep

track of your own personal +/- record for them, as you won’t be able to reference where you’re at
with those points otherwise.
6.[7.] As a general rule for these types of games, the best strategy is always deciding what you want
your character to be stat-wise early on, and playing to your character’s strengths in its later
stages. Unless deliberately pursuing stat check fails in your playthrough, the best way to
guarantee you’ll pass stat checks is making sure you’re very strong in 1 or 2 categories. Any skill
can be useful, but diversifying your skills too much can end up hurting you in the long run.
7.[8.] The Book 2 Guide is currently under construction! Watch this space for updates within the next
few weeks.
Without further ado, welcome to the guide! We truly hope you feel that this guide is useful, and welcome
any suggestions you have to make in terms of the administration of it.

feel a small bubble of hope that under their icy exterior there’s something warm. And yet, despite being
the complete opposite of A, the Detective also feels drawn to N, adding an intense confusion to the mix.
If N Romance is 5 or higher, the Detective will believe that there have been a few moments between
them that can’t be denied, and that there is definitely something beginning there. And yet, despite being
completely opposite, the Detective can’t help but feel drawn to A, and it makes them feel like they’re
being pulled at from two sides.
