Aaaaaand here I am, already gotten 6 endings in a day...(why can't I stop myself from playing this???)
SPOILERS?
I don't think I have the courage to finish the 2 left, which are the ones which Issac gets abusive and doesn't change or try to be good...but I noticed there's also a "special" ending you mentioned, so may I ask what does this ending tell and do I need to finish all routes to get it?
Hello lenfrey!
Glad to know you persisted and continued playing!
As for your questions:
------------Spoilers ------------
Correct. To get this "secret" ending you need to get all the endings. The route map should clue you where the change will take place (but we guess you already figured that out).
As for what this event entails...well... you'll get to see a funny and quirky exchange between Isaac and Elijah, and then a promise of the brighter future - or just a sweet lie.
Thank you for answering! I've finished the whole game now.
-SPOILERS-
...And that was painful. Especially “lovely couple" which was the last ending I got, simular to "in the spider's web", different results but same tragedy. It actually depressed me while trying multiple times to get it, and I switched many times to "behind bars" or "change of heart" which both(yeah even Issac in prison) seemed better compared to this one! Elijah's last words just stabbed me in the heart.(I'm gonna need something sweet and simple to heal this...)
As for the "special" ending, let's just say...I don't believe in fate, anything could happen. After all it's pretty sad if you're chasing something that doesn't exist, isn't it?
All in all, still thank you for making this astonishing game. It's a not-so-enjoyable but very meaningful experience.
