The Coffin of Andy Replay order that works
- First run — blind. Play Episode 1, then Episode 2, making honest choices. Save in multiple slots.
- Second run — opposite attitude. Replay from Episode 1 with the opposite approach: if you deferred to Ashley first time, push back second time, and vice versa. This is the fastest way to see a different major route.
- Third run — targeted. Use the patterns below to aim for the specific route you have not seen, especially the secret ending, which needs consistency across both episodes.
What the game actually tracks
The game does not have a visible “morality meter”, but it does remember patterns. In practice, three patterns matter most: loyalty vs independence (do you follow Ashley or assert yourself?), protection vs sacrifice (do you protect outsiders or use them?), and honesty vs concealment (do you tell the truth to outsiders or maintain the siblings' private story?). A route is not decided by one of these alone — it is decided by how they combine across two episodes.
Route patterns — general guidance
| Route | General pattern | What to watch |
|---|---|---|
| Burial | High loyalty, high willingness to go through with a final joint act, even at extreme cost. | Choices that bind the siblings together against the outside world. |
| Decay | Repeated moral compromises, small at first, that accumulate until the relationship itself changes. | Choices where you justify a small harm for survival, then a larger one. |
| Love Route | High emotional closeness and codependency, with choices that lean into the romantic coding of the bond. | Scenes where affection, jealousy, and possessiveness are expressed directly. |
| Bad Endings | A plan fails, a confrontation goes wrong, or a key choice backfires. | Often the result of a single risky decision late in an episode, rather than a long pattern. |
| Secret Ending | A specific, consistent sequence across both episodes, including choices that are easy to miss. | Requires attention to family-history scenes and to choices that seem minor at the time. Save before major conversations. |
Tips for the secret ending
- Play both episodes in order, without skipping dialogue — the clues are in conversations, not in item pickups.
- Keep separate saves before each major decision in Episode 2, so you can test a different branch without replaying Episode 1.
- Pay attention to scenes about the family, the mother, and the flat's history. Those scenes are easy to rush through, but they are the ones the secret route builds on.
- If you get a different ending, do not assume you made one “wrong” choice. Look at the whole pattern of your run — the secret route rewards consistency.
Common questions
Can I get every ending in one save file?
No. You will need multiple playthroughs, or multiple save branches, because routes diverge across both episodes.
Does Episode 2 carry over my Episode 1 choices automatically?
Episode 2 is a separate build in most distributions. You replay the relevant choices in context, rather than importing a save file automatically. Check the version notes on the official listing for your build.
Is there a canon ending?
Not confirmed. While the series is unfinished, no route has been named canon by the developer. See the endings overview.
