Ending Guide

"Stay" Ending

It is recommended to save before triggering this ending, as it is possible to fail and get a game over.

Collect all effects and enter the door that appears in the nexus. Interact with the heart. Here, you can enter buildings to get number to a passcode. Go north to find an NPC that resembles Tohru and input the code: 3588. Enter the building and go through the door. After a while, you'll be teleported to a glitchy area with chasers. Make sure avoid them, as getting caught will result in a game over. Go southeast and interact with the door. In the next area, go southwest and interact with the computer and close out of it. Afterwards, wait a bit to see the ending.
