Before You Begin
Throughout Digimon Survive, you’ll be required to make many decisions that belong to one of three trees: Moral, Wrath, and Harmony. This is important because the game will track how many times you pick a choice from each tree. During Chapter 8, the game will branch into one of three routes based on the tree with the highest number. If you keep the choices even between the three, then you’ll have access to all three routes. Doing so will allow you to save before the split, permitting you to reload the save to play through each route and minimize the need to play completely through the game more times than necessary.
Digimon Survive Prologue Walkthrough
For this walkthrough, we’ve broken each section down into the area you’ll be in and the things you’ll need to interact with to progress the story. Any choices you have to make will be listed along with what that choice does for you. An example would be if a specific option gives you affinity with certain characters. Additionally, the route choices will be marked a color based on the tree for which they are chosen. Moral will be red, wrathful yellow, and harmony green.
Tutorial
When you first start the game, you’ll be greeted by a cutscene that leads to a battle that acts as the game’s combat tutorial. Follow the instructions on the screen to progress the story, leading to another cutscene officially beginning the game.
Campsite
When you gain control of your character, you’ll get another tutorial on making choices and then be prompted with your first choice. Pick the option “Ask Aoi about our plan.” to increase her affinity. Takuma (your character) will also start informing you about the various characters you’ll interact with throughout the game.

Aoi, getting a bit freaked out, tells him to knock it off. Shuuji then appears, yelling at them for going off alone. After catching him up to speed on Saki and Ryo, Shuuji tries calling them to no avail. He’ll then decide it’s best to continue after them. Speak with Shuuji, Aoi, and Minoru to advance the story via cutscene. A new person shows up looking for his sister, who turns out to be Miu. He’ll then introduce himself as Kaito.

Suddenly, a bush starts shaking, leading to a choice of jumping at it or carefully moving closer. Choose either option (choice doesn’t matter) to be promoted to make a route decision.

While making them, our new buddy Koromon will appear to lend a hand. Once the second choice has been made, Koromon will get a boost thanks to the power of friendship!!
