Did you quote the right post? Yukar From The Abyss has no connection to Steambot Chronicles and is nothing like it. It's an otome visual novel.

Anyway, as for my playing, I redid Pewrep's End 2 in Yukar From The Abyss on my Switch. Still no End 3. Maybe it's earned via some weird conditions, like in the middle of another character's route. I gave up on that for the time being, and I figured I'd aim for Huaisu, as I had no clue how to land on Moshirechik's route. So I tried giving answers that wouldn't have a good impact on Pewrep or Kyril and focused on sticking with Huaisu as much as possible. But go figure, that landed me on Moshirechik's route. Went along with that until I picked a choice that was very obviously not going to lead to a good end, haha. Well, short of the game pulling a fake-out and having the protagonist decide against doing what I selected. But that didn't happen and she did indeed go through with it, earning me Moshirechik's End 3. Interestingly, that had its own CG, so I was apparently wrong that an End 3 always gets nothing. I guess I've been looking for patterns, having seen so many other visual novels with a formulaic way of handling their content, but this game is throwing me for a loop a little bit. Another thing I forgot to mention is that there are actually a number of side characters with portraits, not just Koshimpuk, so the theory I had that he was a dropped love interest doesn't hold water. Anyway, I started from the beginning again after that and did the same stuff prior to Moshirechik's introduction, then picked a different choice when I got to the first selection where I had only picked the first option prior. That had led me down a path with a good bit of new text, so I'm not sure if this still leads to some kind of ending with Moshirechik or if this is actually the way to land on Huaisu's route. One thing suggesting that it may be the start of Huaisu's route is that Kurumi is having flashbacks to things Huaisu said. That said, she also had a lengthy dream in which Kyril appeared and gave her guidance amid the events leading to Moshirechik's End 3, and despite that and the flashbacks to various things Kyril said, it most definitely had nothing to do with Kyril's route and endings.
