=='''Ending 1'''== | =='''Ending 1'''== | ||
There are two conditions that need to be met before unlocking either ending: | |||

Once both requirements have been fulfilled, the door in Shiutsuki's dream bedroom will be open. Go through the door then interact with the recycle bin in the corner to drop your effects. Interact with the recycle bin again and select the first option from the dialogue box to get rid of your effects. Wake up and go to the balcony.

The unlock requirements for this ending are the same as Ending 1. After getting rid of the effects, instead of waking up, head back to the Nexus. Enter the middle-right door. Take the north path above the entrance and keep going north (and slightly right) until you reach a dead-end with a white doorway. Enter this doorway to be brought to a brightly-colored tile path. Go north then right twice onto the U-shaped path and interact with the floating object moving around on it to reach a gray maze area. | |||
Go eastwards into the maze from where you arrive and look for a dead-end with two white triangles. Walk between these triangles to a space area. Cross the bridge south of you then go down again. Take the path on the right and keep going right and then down. You should come to a dead-end with a white arrow pointing to a tile in the middle of the platform. Step onto this tile and press the interact key to trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene, go to the balcony, follow the arrow off the balcony and go right in the ocean area to activate another cutscene. Interact with the bedroom door after the cutscene ends to watch the credits. The game window will close on its own after the credits end. | |||

If you sleep in the bed in Shiutsuki's dream bedroom, there's a random chance you'll be sent to a room with a ladder on the other side placed against a dark background that intermittently flashes static.

Endings
(Note: Keeping a backup save is recommended if you still want to play around with effects, as both endings require getting rid of all effects for good.)
Ending 1
There are two conditions that need to be met before unlocking either ending:
- All effects must be obtained.
- A certain NPC must be found.
To find this NPC, enter the bottom-left door then enter the sliding wood door south-east from the entrance. In the winding hallway go left, up, take the first left, up, left, down and left. You should now be near some stairs; go down the stairs then exit the arcade at the top-left corner. In the library, go upwards to the northernmost wall of the library where ladders are propped up against the bookcases. The second ladder to the right of the left-side wall takes you to the room where the NPC is.
Once both requirements have been fulfilled, the door in Shiutsuki's dream bedroom will be open. Go through the door then interact with the recycle bin in the corner to drop your effects. Interact with the recycle bin again and select the first option from the dialogue box to get rid of your effects. Wake up and go to the balcony. Exit the balcony by following the arrow then walk right at the next area. After the cutscene, interact with the door in the bedroom to watch the credits.
Ending 2
(One of the cutscenes in this ending sequence contains (mild) flashing images.)
The unlock requirements for this ending are the same as Ending 1. After getting rid of the effects, instead of waking up, head back to the Nexus. Enter the middle-right door. Take the north path above the entrance and keep going north (and slightly right) until you reach a dead-end with a white doorway. Enter this doorway to be brought to a brightly-colored tile path. Go north then right twice onto the U-shaped path and interact with the floating object moving around on it to reach a gray maze area.
Go eastwards into the maze from where you arrive and look for a dead-end with two white triangles. Walk between these triangles to a space area. Cross the bridge south of you then go down again. Take the path on the right and keep going right and then down. You should come to a dead-end with a white arrow pointing to a tile in the middle of the platform. Step onto this tile and press the interact key to trigger a cutscene. After the cutscene, go to the balcony, follow the arrow off the balcony and go right in the ocean area to activate another cutscene. Interact with the bedroom door after the cutscene ends to watch the credits. The game window will close on its own after the credits end.
