The Coffin of Andy Endings in The Coffin of Andy and Leyley are not a final quiz. They are the result of many small choices across Episodes 1 and 2 — who you side with, what you agree to, what you refuse, and how you treat outsiders. This page explains the structure without giving away every step. For detailed unlock patterns, see the endings guide.
Burial Route
Associated with choices that push the siblings towards a final, destructive act of mutual loyalty at extreme cost. It is one of the darkest routes, and it asks whether loyalty can become a form of self-destruction.
Decay Route
Reached through a series of morally compromised decisions that accumulate across chapters. The relationship does not break in one moment — it decays, slowly, until the siblings can no longer recognise the people they were at the start.
Love Route
The most discussed route. It leans into the codependent, romantically coded dynamic between Andrew and Ashley. It is not explicit in the base game, but it is the route that generates the most fan discussion, fan art, and debate.
Bad Endings
Standard bad endings occur when a plan fails, a choice backfires, or the siblings lose control of a situation. They are not “wrong” — they are a legitimate outcome of playing a certain way, and they often reveal a different side of the characters.
Secret Ending
Requires a specific sequence of decisions across both episodes. It is the hardest ending to reach on a first playthrough, and it reveals more family context and dark history than the other routes.
Canon Ending — Unconfirmed
No ending has been confirmed as the official canon ending while the series is still episodic and unfinished. The developer has not named one route as the “true” timeline. Treat every ending as one possible version for now.
How many endings are there?
Players usually count the main routes — Burial, Decay, Love — plus several bad endings and one secret ending. The exact number depends on how you count variations: some bad endings share a structure but differ in detail, and some routes have small variations based on a single late choice. A fuller count and the reasoning behind it is on our “How many endings?” page.
How unlocking works, in general
Unlocking is cumulative, not a single final decision. The game tracks patterns: whether you consistently support Ashley, whether you push back, whether you protect outsiders or sacrifice them, and whether you prioritise survival, loyalty, or honesty. A single different choice near the end can change a detail, but it will not usually flip you from one major route to another if your earlier pattern points the other way. That is why replaying with a different attitude from Episode 1 — not just a different final click — is the reliable way to see a new route.
Which ending should you aim for first?
Our suggestion: do not aim for any of them on your first run. Play naturally, make the choices that feel honest to you, and accept the ending you get. That ending will tell you something about how you read Andy and Ashley. On a second run, you can use the endings guide to aim for a different route deliberately. Players who look up the “best” ending first often miss the experience the game is designed to give you — the discomfort of living with a choice you made yourself.
Endings and Episode 3
Because Episode 3 is still in development, every ending is provisional. A future episode could reframe an ending, continue from one route, or reveal that a route you thought was final was only a step towards something else. That uncertainty is part of why the community keeps discussing the endings: they are not settled, and they may not be settled until the story is complete.
