How do I get this ending? I tried over and over but I can't seem to get the bunny event. I have bottom most of the endings but I can't get big Steve's Maybe I am doing something wrong.....

First of all, go to the arcade and play pinball sometime between Initiation and the apple festival and you'll get an option to talk to Big Steve. Then go back to the arcade and play pinball the weekend of the apple festival and you can talk to him again.

Then go to the arcade again and try to get the bunny from the claw machine. There's something like a 1 in 100 chance you'll get the bunny without Steve's help, but if that happens you can't take his path, so in the unlikely event that you get the bunny on your own, reload your save and try again. You must fail to get the bunny at least once.

Then go to the arcade yet again and ask Big Steve to use the claw machine for you. It will cost you two dollars, but he'll get it. Then give the bunny to Big Steve.

Then on the weekend where the mall trips are cancelled because of snow, choose to relax and you'll run into Big Steve. He'll tell you that the bunny has a gift for you if you kiss him. Kiss the bunny.

Now here's the really important part. Make sure you go to the mall food court and buy a pastry at LEAST five times BEFORE March. In March Big Steve will invite you to join him for coffee, but if you didn't buy a pastry at least five times before that the bakery will close down and he won't be happy.

But what about the thing at chrismas where you think of someone? I tried picking someone random but that made me end the game with someone else. Oh by the way Thanks!

If you've given the bunny to Big Steve and had the kiss-the-bunny event, you should have an option to think of Big Steve at Christmas.

Unless you bought the game before the Big Steve path was added and you didn't upgrade it. When did you buy the game?

I bought it a few weeks ago. I did everything you said..... did you forget an event or something or maybe something I did made me get off of his path

Hmmm, I don't know what's going on, you SHOULD have an option to think about Big Steve if you've gotten the game since his path was added. Lemme play it again and see if I forgot anything.

Did you do the part where you stay in on the snowed-in Saturday and kiss Mr Hoppity before Christmas?

Yes and I lost 5 stress

... At this point all I can say is to check what version of the game you're playing. There are no secret complications here to find, the flags are quite straightforward.

If you gave Steve the bunny, Steve appears as an option at Christmas (but not necessarily successful)
If you kissed the bunny, then if you choose Steve at Christmas, the choice will succeed.

I started a new game and this time I got the big steve option at christmas. I don't think I missed something the 1st time. Oh well

Hello,
I met Big Steve on February 17th and he disappears. The main character sais there must be a spell to search for invisible persons. Could anyone tell me, what spell it is? Unfortunately I didn't know it
Is it important to find Big Steve on that day? Is it even possible to find him?

Truesight (Blue magic)

If you spooked him enough to make him disappear then yes, it is important to be able to see through his illusion.

Oh, I see. I thought I know this spell because it's such an easy on, but I'm working at the white and black magic trophy, so I focused on this
Thank you! Now he can't hide anymore
