yes. 14 of them. it's one of those visual novels where you can decide the course of the story yourself. it's a shame it ends so soon. the game stops when it's just starting to get interesting in some cases. i've only seen 3 of the endings. the game's hell on my rig. takes 5 hours to complete, at least, due to all the lag. anyway, the choices you can make in the game are so diverse that you can hardly grasp the possibilities. for instance, if you make a certain choice, something happens that was linked to it, which gives you a seperate storyline, which also has several routes, etc etc. you think you'll never get to play them all. the game's atmosphere is amazing. it makes great use of music and scenery. you really get the feeling of 'ooooooooh shit. i just know this is going to be bad.' and the game jolts you in some cases afterwards. some of the endings result in dying. some storylines don't even mention some characters. sometimes you'll get glimpses of what could happen if you picked another storyline inside the storyline you're playing at the moment, and then the game fools you by letting you see the story from another character's perspective. for instance, there's the good, and the evil side. but no matter what side you're on, the other one is always the bad one through the eyes of the protagonist. it's very smartly done. in fact, the game can fool you into fearing the other storyline, while there's nothing to be afraid of. doing something earlier on in the game can change the ending by effecting the storyline later on, while if you hadn't done that thing early on, the ending is different.
