Train45 Common Mistakes
Most wipes are order mistakes, not missing DLC. This page is the short list Japanese boards still ask about in August 2026 — talking, the lever, the bracelet, the collaboration-car slots, and the clock that is not “3:15”.
Opening Hour Traps
Cannot talk to Reina or Mai. The first minutes have no starting-car chat. Walk the investigation loop, hit a rest point, then talk. Mashing keys on boot is not a v1.0.5.1 bug.
Ranks do not pop from XP alone. Each Reina / Mai level waits on that rank’s main event. Filling the bar and skipping the scene stalls the next talk — including the ones that mention the phone map.
Tickets into capsules. Prize machines share the wallet with the owl stall. Chapter-1–2 gold belongs on Dim Red Lamp or Single Earbud, then terminal hints 9–19. Gacha waits. See Prize Machines and First Playthrough.
Map, Memo, Bracelet
Spending Konial’s Memo the moment it drops is the Destined End lever. Finish Xiao Ke OMEGA first. Leaving the Copper Bracelet on after Lv2 deletes the phone map so you cannot type 8-31-45-54. Walkthrough: Phone Map.
Guessing terminals 9–19 fails even if you already know the numbers. Buy the hint. Wrong companion on an event terminal skips the CG with no toast — Reina, Mai, or Pazuzu as named on the flyer.
Lipstick on a pre-v1.0.4.3 file painted wrong anomaly tiles. Update, then buy it. The August 2026 10% Steam cut ended 17 August; list price is about $10.99 / ¥1,870 again. Named patch is still v1.0.5.1.
Puzzles People Still Misread
Clock is 3 hours 15 minutes fast, not 3:15. Pocket watch 1:20:40 → real 10:05:40 → cars 10-5-40. v1.0.4.3 rewrote the Japanese hint because of this.
Collaboration Car slots: stop all three reels on the rabbit mark, then inspect the dropped ball for Mai’s bunny CG. All 777 pays tickets only. A miss means restarting the whole 46-45-31 route from the phone, not nudging one reel.
Padlock is read on flooding car 15: from the needle, left 2 / right 4 / left 3 / right 6 → cars 1-2-13-8 (our table lists 13-2-1-8; same set). Empty milk bottle back face is a 5, not a 2 → 4-5-8-12. Groper Warning is any three of 6 / 32 / 34 / 38 / 49; the reward lock lets you purify during exposure-theme partner scenes.
Bottom-left Konial icon filling with color tracks stored tickets, not her affection bar. Affection for the true ending still needs the bracelet in chapter 6. Codes: Puzzle Solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the talk lock a bug?
No. Starting-car chats wait until after the opening investigation and rest-point return.
All 777 on the slots — did I miss the bunny CG?
Yes. 777 is tickets. Rabbits on all three reels, then the dropped ball. Fail = re-queue 46-45-31.
Why is the Konial icon colored if her heart is low?
That corner icon is stored tickets. Chapter-6 affection still needs the Copper Bracelet.
I pulled the lever. Is the save ruined?
Credits still count as Destined End. Reload a pre-door save or start a new run for OMEGA. Gallery stays locked on that clear.
