Red Chat Ritual: Clues Walkthrough by Day
On this page (20)
This page lists the clues, keywords and evidence you can pick up on each of the 15 days of Red Chat Ritual, so you can check what a day should have given you before you move on. Each day has two parts: the fan site in the morning and the stream at night. Every paid chat option is listed with its price and what it adds to your files.
The short version: the fan site and the automatic stream entries are free, the paid options are where most evidence hides, and the $0 Skip option on a chat never costs you a clue. Spoiler warning: the tables below name story events, including what happens to Mashiro.
A few options show no result where one may exist, because some results could not be confirmed. Where a result is uncertain, the entry says so.
How to read the tables
Results name the evidence that ends up in your files. Where the game hands you a keyword or link text on the way, the entry says it was reached via that wording, and a chain with a greater-than sign reads left to right ending at the evidence. An option with a dash gives nothing.
Prices are the chat amounts shown on screen. Every chat also has a Skip option at $0. It gives nothing unless a table says otherwise.
Endings 6 and 7 do not fire the moment you pick the option. You still have to finish the stream and go to sleep, and the ending plays when you wake up. Options that lead there are marked "Ending 6" or "Ending 7". The full list of endings and the final deduction answers are on their own page on this site, so they are not repeated here.
The three chapters run Day 1 to 6, Day 7 to 11 and Day 12 to 15. Chapters 1 and 2 each end with a deduction, and chapter 3 ends with the final one.
