Short answer: Players usually count three main routes — Burial, Decay, and the Love Route — plus several bad endings and one secret ending. The exact total depends on how you count: if you count every small variation as a separate ending, the number is higher; if you count only the major routes, it is lower.
The main routes
| Route | What it is |
|---|---|
| Burial | A dark, final route where loyalty between the siblings leads to a destructive joint act. |
| Decay | A route where repeated moral compromises slowly change the relationship itself. |
| Love Route | The most discussed route, leaning into the codependent, romantically coded bond between Andy and Ashley. |
| Bad Endings | Outcomes where a plan fails or a confrontation goes wrong. There is more than one, and they differ in detail. |
| Secret Ending | A harder-to-reach ending that requires a specific sequence of choices across both episodes and reveals more family history. |
Why do different sites give different numbers?
Because “ending” is not a precise term in this game. Some guides count only the named routes. Others count each bad ending separately. Others count variations within a route — for example, two versions of the same route that differ in a final scene — as separate endings. All of those counts can be honest, as long as the guide explains what it is counting. Be wary of any site that gives a precise number with no explanation, or that claims a new ending was added without naming a version.
How endings are unlocked
Endings are unlocked by cumulative choices across Episodes 1 and 2, not by a single final decision. The patterns that matter are loyalty vs independence, protection vs sacrifice, and honesty vs concealment. A fuller explanation, with replay order and tips for the secret ending, is in our endings guide and the endings overview.
Will Episode 3 add more endings?
Possibly. Because the story is unfinished, a future episode could add new routes, reframe existing ones, or continue from a particular ending. Until Episode 3 is released, any claim about its endings is speculation. We will update this page when the developer confirms new information.
