“True Ending” + Achievement
Unsure how much of this you exactly need to do, but I’ll add all of it because it’s what I did.
- I don’t mind it.
- Something to do.
- No, I better not.
- I’m not sure.
- Look for clues. I think it’s a puzzle.
- Choose Bart
- Be Apologetic
- No one gets left behind!
- Of course.
- Choose Lucky.
- Find another way.
- Grab Pierce
- We have to help him!
- Choose Bart and leave Pierce.
- Grab Bart’s arm.
- Flee.
- Fight.
- Correctly guess the killers.
- Everyone has their own preferences.
- Bart isn’t perfect.
- Speak calmly and genuinely.
Completing the game following this path gives you the one and only achievement.
Other Endings
“To Be Continued” Ending
Simply follow the true guide above, but choose Pierce instead of Bart – leaving Bart (omg no- puppy) where you would normally leave Pierce.
“Good” Ending
Follow the true guide above, but take Earl, then Pierce – after you promise to take Lucky. Then finally take Lucky and leave Pierce. This is “Good” because unlike the perfect ending, they don’t let you take Bart with you.
“Bad” Ending
Be suspicious of everyone and be a jerk. Get on the Pierce pound train and be an ass to Lucky – leaving him at the end. You can plead with them like you would in the true end, if you want. But by then, it’s too late and you won’t get a “game over”, so just keep being a jerk. (There’s quite a few CGs with this route, so I recommend it.)
