A guide to each ending in the game.

Guides

There are several endings in the game and most of these endings will not roll the credits. They will unlock new perspectives into the characters. Each different ending has unique achievements that you receive once you have completed them.

You can achieve each ending with one playthrough as most of the endings will reset the time loop, except the three credit endings. 

Listen Ending (Easiest Ending) 
Open the front door of the apartment, don't move or interact with any items. After a short wait, the rest of the scene will play out automatically. 

Your wife will ask you to sit beside her on the couch, which your character will do automatically and she will begin to talk about your life. 

She will then ask you how you would feel if she had an affair (suggesting a dark past) and then she will go and fetch something from the bathroom. 

Then your wife will ask you to talk somewhere else and you will leave the apartment and the loop will restart.    

Coward Ending 
Start by grabbing every mug in the apartment and fill one with water. 

You will want to wait until your wife has exited the bathroom, go in and close the door. Then go to the medicine cabinet and choose the sleeping pills. 

Then combine the sleeping pills and the mug with water that is in your inventory and leave the bathroom.

Go to your wife and hand her the water after a while she will tell you that she is tired and she will get up and go to bed. 

Follow her and then flick the light switch in the bedroom once and you will see a bunch of sparks. Then turn the lights off again and hide in the closet near the front door. Your character will say “Now we wait”  

You will skip to when the cop knocks on the front door and he will enter the apartment and shout asking if anyone is home. Wait for him to enter the bedroom and say “ what the ….” and then he will turn the lights on and the switch will shock him and knock him unconscious. 

Exit the closet and go into the bedroom and interact with the cop. Grab one pair of handcuffs and leave the rest on him.

You will then use the handcuffs to cuff the cop and wait until he wakes up. Interact with him and tell him that you are innocent. Then do everything he tells you and don't interact with anything unusual. 

The cop will ask you where the pocket watch is. Tell him you know where it is then he will ask you to sit on the couch. While you are waiting you will hear a gunshot from the bedroom and he will come out and talk to you and you will ask for a phone. 

Then go into the closet and get your wife's phone, hand it to him and phone the police. The cop will tell you to explain to the police that your wife committed suicide and shot herself in the head. 

The cop will leave and you will be left alone in the apartment and the loop will restart.
