''Finding Miranda'': Walkthrough



Finding Miranda (2016) is the third game set in the Elsaverse, and probably the most complex one in the saga in terms of gameplay design, as this walkthrough shows. FM can be divided into two different parts. The first one covers the initial steps of Lucas' relationship with Miranda (from Thursday to Monday, in the story), where some events depend on the path chosen by players at the start of the game, as they can define Lucas as a widower or a divorced man. Then, players need to decide how Lucas reacted to the traumatic experience that changed his marital status, and finally, have to pick whether he is comfortable with his past decisions or is starting to regret them instead. This results in eight possible characterizations for Lucas; to succeed in the game, players must pick the answer that better suits their defined characterization in that playthrough, scoring points in dialog choices that will let them see the sex scenes. Four different achievements, one for each one of the four main characterizations (widower-timid, widower-aggressive, divorced-timid, divorced-aggressive), are unlocked just after finishing this first part of the game, by going to work on Monday. It's worth mentioning that there are also four mutually exclusive dates in this first part, and players are expected to go on a different date on each one of the four playthroughs needed to get all of the achievements.

Then, once Lucas finally moves on from Karen and he and Miranda become officially a couple, the second part of the game is totally linear and the previous characterization is forgotten: players only need to pick the right answers to humor Miranda, no matter how they initially chose Lucas to be. Lastly, the sex scene in the casino spa is designed as a branching scene that players can't fully explore in one single playthrough. The idea is to use each playthrough to get some still unseen parts of that scene, as watching every sex scene in the game is another achievement in itself and, as usual, a bonus scene is unlocked after getting all of the achievements.

Please note that this walkthrough is designed for the Ren'Py version of the game, released on 2021; if you are playing the HTML original version, you may find more one-choice lines not mentioned here; also, some choices may be hidden clickspots over the images instead of dialog options.
