Thank you so much for playing and the feedback Moriko!
Hard mode might not have been a good idea hahaha, I actually updated the game to improve some of the odds, although not too much since that would defeat the purpose of items. I think you had some bad luck in your run, although hard mode also removes a lot of items present in the other two modes.
The endings are actually just text variations, so I wouldn't say it's worth the effort, but the best ending is supposed to be the one where everyone is alive.
For the record, the protagonist can actually be killed by Mason hahaha, but the odds are lower, because if she dies, it's game over. She's the final girl after all!
It's definitely amusing how the final girl character always manages to beat the unstopable killer in most horror media, so I thought it would be even more funny if she actually did it by punching the maniac
