For achievement unlock rates, see the Achievements Guide.

Full-Game Ending A — Escape (Family!)

Achievement: Escape · Global unlock: ~38% at launch

The most common full-game ending. Triggered during the Chapter II epilogue when you choose what to give Roger.

How to unlock

  1. Progress through Chapter I and reach the Chapter II epilogue
  2. Open Henry’s Saw Box with code 471 (PASSWORDS.TXT)
  3. Select the Toy Saw (only one saw allowed)
  4. Give the Toy Saw to Roger
  5. Continue through Chapter III — defeat Henry in the mouth arena (uvula bait; cannot skip)
  6. At the Chapter III epilogue, proceed through the main path — Escape / Family! plays

The toy saw keeps Roger’s situation less violent. Most first-time players reach this route without planning. Full fight steps: Henry Boss.

Full-Game Ending B — Return (Family?)

Achievement: Return · Global unlock: ~34% at launch

The second major branch from the same Chapter II choice.

How to unlock

  1. Reach the Chapter II epilogue (reload a save before this point for a second run)
  2. Select the Real Saw instead of the toy
  3. Give the Real Saw to Roger
  4. Play through Chapter III — the Return ending triggers (also titled Family?)

Return presents a darker interpretation of the same family confrontation. You need a separate playthrough or save reload to see both Escape and Return.

Full-Game Ending C — Stay (Secret)

Achievement: Stay · Global unlock: ~14% at launch

The secret ending. Requires both Escape and Return unlocked first, plus three area-specific puzzles completed in a single run. Save-safe route: Ending C Walkthrough. Full checklist: Stay Secrets. Deep pages: Brain Scan · Behind Stairs · Beaten Clocky. Demo-only outcomes: Demo Endings.

Prerequisites

  1. Unlock Escape (Toy Saw route) on one playthrough
  2. Unlock Return (Real Saw route) on another playthrough
  3. Reload a near-complete Chapter I save before attempting Stay
  4. On the Stay attempt, fight every optional boss — including Trapezist, Chameleon, and AI — do not take skip / avoid paths (Cut The Act, Case Closed, Short Circuit)

Three secret puzzles (all required)

Complete one secret in each hub area. Switch to windowed mode for metal-detector puzzles in Misery Town and Timesville — community guides require this for those secrets.

Misery Town — Remote, mime path & downstairs

  1. Bring the Metal Detector to the projector / movie tent (not the Trapezist arena)
  2. Windowed mode → dig the Projector Remote from the sandy floor
  3. Project the map, screenshot it, follow it in the mime / checkerboard room
  4. Squeeze the crack → finish every downstairs minigame until confirmation

Details: Projector Remote · Misery Town · Metal Detector

Timesville — Fish Paper Key

  1. Use the Metal Detector in Timesville to find finishing paper
  2. Catch all 18 fish across every time-of-day period (6 species × 3 time slots)
  3. Receive the Fish Paper Key
  4. Open the safe in the house beyond the waterfall (shared-room puzzle location)
  5. Continue until you witness Angel’s Plea — this marks Timesville’s secret complete

Details: Timesville · Mini-Games fishing section · Metal Detector

The Office — Telescope & Morse code

  1. Obtain the Telescope from Timesville (Catthew hide-and-seek → fishing license → party invitation → owl gift)
  2. At the Office train-station entrance, place the telescope near the sleeping figure on the bench
  3. Read the CALL US! advertisement — phone number 277-5944
  4. Open the Jobs app on your Office PC and dial the number
  5. Listen to the Morse code message: “Behind the stairs 1 minute”
  6. Go downstairs and wait behind the stairs near the vending machine for ~60 seconds
  7. Enter the hidden VR helmet room and complete the puzzle sequence

Details: The Office · Telescope

Final Stay trigger

After all three secrets are complete:

  1. Progress normally through Chapters II and III
  2. At the Chapter III epilogue, ignore the “please open” door
  3. Return to Mellow’s room instead
  4. If every secret puzzle was done correctly, the Stay ending plays

Note: Your saw choice (Toy vs Real) no longer matters for Stay once prerequisites are met.

Full-Game Ending — The Yeti

Achievement: The Yeti · Global unlock: ~7% at launch (rarest ending achievement)

A hidden encounter with Andyland — AndyLand’s in-game developer cameo.

How to unlock

Full dedicated guide: The Yeti Ending.

  2. Talk to Andyland and accept the song / dance offer
  3. Clear the rhythm mini-gameThe Yeti unlocks

Patch 1.07: If the achievement did not register, load the title screen once for Steam API sync — see Patch Notes · Troubleshooting.

Demo Main Ending — Bathroom Sequence

The standard demo ending triggers in the bathroom after defeating Clocky.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about Endacopia.

What saw should I give Roger for my first ending?

Choose the Toy Saw for Escape (Family!) — the most common and least violent branch. Save the Real Saw for a second run.

Can I miss a Stay secret and fix it later?

Keep a near-complete Chapter I save. If any of the three area secrets is incomplete, Stay will not trigger — reload and retry.

Is Stay the 'true' ending?

Community debate only. AndyLand has not labeled any ending as canon.
