I dont understand if the "error" is the ending or just a bug lmao

Is it a missing asset error? Were you in browser or the windows release?

For the browser version, I needed to disable my ad blocker or else all the music files showed up as missing assets.

it's the browser version, that's probably why. Still, the game's great, i'll def try to replay it in the windows version. Maybe the map's a bit too vast and a bit confusing, tho. Got lost a couple of times :)

Also, are there any multiple endings?

Sort of?

The ending splits and then merges based on a choice right at the very end. So the final-final scene is always the same. There are 4 other endings in the script, but I had to take a week off in the middle of the jam, so only the "perfect" ending is actually implemented. (Nikki's presence in the epilogue was going to require finding certain pieces of information when exploring the house.)

I'm hoping - if I still like the story in a year - to put together a "Redux" version which has the other endings, points to investigate inside the house, and the ability to play as Norm as he has his GOOD TIMES in the basement.

(Unlike the other characters, the entity does not pose as one of the other players when messaging Norm, but rather it appears as his mother. Also, spoilers, I guess. Some text messages do not come from their apparent sender.)
