Leave Ending

Location: East South Vale, one of the books in Andy's Bookstore at Katz St.

Searching for Another Conclusion Vol. I: The Road to Tomorrow

It’s better to prevent than to cure, as the old maxim tells us. Taking care of yourself and maintaining a healthy outlook can be a challenge in these fast, modern times. The key is to not beat yourself up over past mistakes and avoid those who would do you harm. Sometimes, it is better to avoid confrontation instead of engaging in pointless conflict. Try to stay clear of toxic relationships and focus instead on your friends and loved ones. Keep your eyes on the prize and focus on what really matters. Can it be that simple? Yes! Look to the future - it might be brighter than you think.

Maria Ending

Location: East South Vale, one of the books in Andy's Bookstore at Katz St.

Searching for Another Conclusion Vol. II: Getting the Girl

Do you love her? Do you really love her? In sickness and in health? Words are simple enough, but actions speak the loudest. Would you protect her? Fight for her? Put her above any other? Remember, now she is the one. Leave the past behind and forget about old relationships that ended in tears. Be true to your heart and with luck, things will work out in the end.

In Water Ending

Location: East South Vale, one of the books in Andy's Bookstore at Katz St.

Searching for Another Conclusion Vol. Ill: Choosing Death

When life is filled with nothing but despair, some people choose to end it all. I once chose that path for myself as well. I embraced it. It felt right. Like the only choice I could possibly make. After I made my decision, it became the only thing binding me to this world. I became reckless. I did stupid, dangerous things. I pushed away even those who cared about me. After all, why would it matter anymore?

Rebirth Ending

Location: East South Vale, a note on the table on the forest trail at the beginning of the game.

Grave truths,
Lost to the mind,
Shall flow white,
Into a void chalice,
So the rite of ted
shall commence.
