Hints are an option to look at for hints to progress the main story of YIIK: A Postmodern RPG in the pause menu. They often change frequently, usually after a cutscene or battle. You get access to the hints, and the pause menu in general, after Marlene's questionnaire and Alex's intro monologue, at least in Version 1.25.

For clarification, these are not hints towards Ending 3, these hints are just for the base game.

In addition, there are no hints for Version 1.25's KNN Ending, it never changes from "Go to the big city with your pals."
