Plumbers Don't Wear Ties: Definitive Edition

Choose Start game → Start New Game. Use to confirm menu selections. Let the scenes play until a decision appears, then make these choices in order:

1. Have John make the first move.
2. Have John pursue Jane.
3. Choose the option where the hairball takes advantage of the situation.
4. Have the heroine decline the proposal.
5. Send John to rescue Jane.
6. Have Jane reject the power.
7. Choose the Hollywood ending.
8. Choose to see who made the game and watch the credits.

Stay through the credits until the scene map appears. That is the completion point for the trophy. You don't need every ending or every node on that map.

If you choose a dead end, use the return or replay choice offered by the game and rejoin the route. After finishing, keep the Plumb Bucks for the dungeon purchases. If you later need more, replay the story's decisions and use the skip prompt for scenes you've already seen. Start New Game clears story progress, so finish this ending before using it for extra money.

Purchased extras stay unlocked.
