With CLANNAD now Steam, a lot of people might be wondering what choices they should make in the game to reach the good endings. Well, to help you guys out, we have prepared this walkthrough that should be quite useful! This walkthrough was designed to accompany the CLANNAD Bookclub, so it'll be following the route order we will be using for the Bookclub.

All walkthroughs, with the exception of the Baseball route, will only include choices essential to getting the route. Regular text means that it is a required choice to get the route. Strike-throughed text means that the choice might appear depending on your other choices, but you must not choose it, otherwise it'll lock you into another route. Italicized text means that the choice isn't necessary for the route, but would be needed for some bonus scenes.

This walkthrough was made possible thanks to the CLANNAD Visual Fan Book, which we checked in Japanese, and matched to the choices in the Steam release.

This is an optional, fun route that's a great way to start the game. This part of the walkthrough was made with the intent of being able to meet as much characters as possible in one playthrough. As such, it will list all the choices in sequence. Only the bold choices are actually required to get the baseball route.

After Story is the second part, and what is largely considered the main story, of CLANNAD. In order to unlock After Story, you must have obtained a total of 8 "lights" from the different character routes, and have finished the Nagisa and Fūko routes. Once you have finished those, the "After Story" option will appear on the title screen.
Note: if you lose a light after obtaining it, that will not affect your progress for unlocking After Story.

In order to get all the lights from the first playthrough, this guide assumes that you finished the Nagisa route and selected all the underlined choices above, then make the following choices in After Story:

• It's not too much, it's impossible
  
• Answer honestly
  
• Sing
  
• Ask if there's more
  
• ......
  
• Hold it in
  
• Go look

After obtaining 13 lights from both the character routes and previous runs of After Story, Akio's route becomes accessible by choosing:

• Oh, fine

After obtaining a total of 14 lights in the game, the true end will be accessible by selecting the following choices:

• It's not too much, it's impossible
  
• ......
  
• Hold it in
