I honestly don't understand the appeal of this game at all. Replaying it 26 times to get different endings sounds like torture with a game that mediocre. I'm convinced the only real reason people play it is because they like anime girls, because that seems like the only appeal that game has.
Route A is one playthrough
Route B is the same from a different perspective (you play a different character with new mechanics)
Route C is new stuff
The other endings are basically one off things, joke endings and the like. eg
slaughtering a village of NPCs, running away from the mission area, eating a poisonus fish
using chapter select on the very last checkpoint and picking a different option.
So really, you just play through the game twice. And it's as a different character who has a different perspective on what is going on and a massively different mechanic
(can hack at will instead of just in that one boss fight)
A lot of people think it's just "play the game 26 times!" without realising that the story can "end" at many, many points and not just at the "end".
