Totally Understandable. This project was made out of curiosity that what will happen if players are not given any written objectives or guide rather subtle hints in the environment. The idea sounded nice at that point but from execution perspective I messed up a little. I will try to make it more player friendly, but it may take a lot of time. In the meantime you can read the story below. BTW thanks for playing the game and sharing the feedback. :)

So Spoiler Alert:
.....

There are total 4 endings:

1. You got Ending 2 when you ignored the talisman advertisement. And then you come from work and go to sleep. During your sleep, the entity kills you by causing a heart attack.
Alternative:
When you buy the talisman, you now have a layer of protection. Entity will not be able to interact with you or harm you physically. Rather it took the dream manipulation approach. Where its sole motive is to make mc go insane.
So after the sleeping in bed, mc never woke up rather he was stuck in a dream loop. This was revealed in later endings.

2. You got Ending 3 which says that either you didn't collect any memory piece or was unable to find the "well" in the final level to submit them.

For Later Endings: The game has various memory fragments of the mc's past. There are total of 15 iterations. Each iteration containing 0 to 2 memories. You can get hint to find those memories in the hall. If you may have noticed, in hall some chairs disappeared, each chair that disappeared tells you to find the memory in the adjacent location. The chairs are oriented as the rooms in the house: Kitchen, hall, bedroom and bathroom. Players have to check only those rooms whose chairs have disappeared.

Total of 21 memory fragments are there hiding in off locations. When you reach the final level, if you find the "well" there, you will notice that the "well" requires only 12 memories to be submitted but you have 21 memories in your inventory. Referring that some memories you have might be fake, these memories can be identified by reading them. Real memories focuses on depicting ups and downs of the player's life but fake memories depict that everything and everyone around the player was evil and hell. These fake memories are created by the entity to break you. The "well" is just mc's subconsciousness.

Now when you reach the "well" in final stage. From that point Ending 1 and 4 can be acquired.

1, Ending 4: by mistake players submit a fake memory in the "well", leaving a small gap in your subconsciousness, letting the entity possess you. It is then revealed on a news channel that a mc has gone berserk and is being an unstoppable killing force.

2. Ending 1: when players only submit the 12 real memories into the "well", their subconsciousness remains intact and entities plan fails. But the thing is mc takes that whole situation just as a bad dream (he is not aware that an entity showed him that) and the cycle continues every night.

When players get the all 4 endings then only they can link the events that are happening around the mc.
