Kyle dialogue setup
Save before the Kyle conversation
Failure check: A later save cannot restore a missed Kyle response.
Seven-stage mixed route
Eyes is the longest documented mixed route because it combines early Kyle dialogue with a perfect farm run and a late Silas escape sequence. Use the stages in order; a save near the knife cannot repair a missed Kyle line or imperfect farm task.
Complete the two Kyle responses, every farm mini-game perfectly, the pier and grandfather bravery setup, the fire-scene denial and stay-over choice, the barn question, the fast knife grab, and every correct path to the bridge.

Save before the Kyle conversation
Failure check: A later save cannot restore a missed Kyle response.
Use a clean save before the first farm task
Failure check: Restart from the pre-farm save after any imperfect result.
Save before the pier
Failure check: Avoiding the pier is associated with the low-bravery branch, not Eyes.
Save before the swimming split and again before the fire dialogue
Failure check: Sending Silas home belongs to the Kyle-focused route, not the Eyes route.
Save before the post-nightmare choice
Failure check: Other post-nightmare dialogue enters different late Silas endings.
Save before the timed knife prompt
Failure check: Reload the nearby save after missing the prompt; do not restart the entire route.
Save before the first direction choice
Failure check: Wrong directions lead to a different ending cluster, including Rake.
Do not use the low-agility Kyle-focused save or a casual Silas run. Eyes requires perfect farm work and a specific mixture of Kyle support, Silas bravery setup, and late escape choices, so the cleanest starting point is a pre-Kyle or pre-farm save created for this ending only.
Use the save plan to keep separate checkpoints before Kyle dialogue, farm work, the pier, swimming and fire, the nightmare, the knife prompt, and path navigation.
The early Kyle responses remain necessary even though the late route returns to Silas. The pier and grandfather questions are used as bravery setup, while the fire scene keeps Silas in the house so the nightmare, barn, knife, and bridge sequence can occur.
This is why Eyes belongs in the Mixed route group. Treating it as only a Kyle ending misses the late Silas chain; treating it as only a Silas ending misses the two Kyle responses.
When Eyes does not unlock, compare the run against the seven stages from the beginning. The earliest unchecked or uncertain stage determines the save to reload. Replaying only the bridge cannot repair a missed Kyle line, imperfect farm task, or wrong fire-scene choice.
Keep later choices identical while retesting one stage. If the knife prompt was the only failure, reload nearby. If a farm task was imperfect, restart from the pre-farm checkpoint rather than continuing the broken route.
The seven-stage method comes from a detailed player route posted on the official itch.io comment page and repeated in community guides. It is not a developer-authored walkthrough, and the game does not expose a visible bravery meter or a route-completion indicator.
Present the method as a strong community route, not an official guarantee. When a player follows every listed stage and still fails, record the game version and exact dialogue rather than adding an unverified extra requirement.
Keep the Eyes save until the gallery entry is confirmed and any nearby late outcomes you still need are tested. The perfect-farm and bravery setup may be useful for comparison, but it should not replace low-agility, Kyle-focused, or affection-route saves.
Return to the all-endings table for the next missing row. Use the Silas checklist for Silas-focused cleanup and the Kyle route for You Promised to Come Back.
Use video only to recognize scenes after checking the written route stages. The route evidence comes from community testing, not an official developer walkthrough.

Eyes is classified as mixed because it needs two Kyle dialogue choices and a long late Silas route with bravery, stay-over, barn, knife, and path conditions.
The detailed community route uses “I can put up with you” and “Maybe because you’re a good person.”
Yes. The repeated community route says every farm mini-game must be completed perfectly for Eyes.
Answer that you do not love Silas, then choose to let him stay at your place so the nightmare and barn sequence remains available.
Reload the nearby knife checkpoint and retry the timed prompt. Earlier stages do not need to be replayed when they were already completed correctly.
Save before Kyle dialogue, the first farm task, the pier, swimming and fire, the nightmare, the knife prompt, and the first path choice.
