Frequently Asked Questions

Are Game Overs part of the 10 endings?

No. Game Overs are not part of the 10 official endings. Fatal choices trigger a separate Game Over and do not add to your 10/10 collection.

How many fatal choices are there?

There are 7 fatal choices: Door, Paper Sender, Bedroom, two Conversation answers, TV, and Kitchen.

Why did staying silent give me a Game Over?

You spoke / revealed yourself first, then stayed silent. Mrs already knows you are there. You must stay silent from the beginning. That path is Ending 1, not a Game Over.

Why does Cockroach kill me?

The Papers hint that Mrs strongly dislikes insects. Do not pick “A Cockroach!”. Use Nothing! or A Rat! instead.

Is “I don't know” fatal?

Yes. “I don't know.” is a Game Over. “I don't want to know.” is safe and gives +1 Interest.

Which TV movie causes a Game Over?

“Ape vs Ultimate Robot 2”. Use The Hello-ween or Love Like Who? instead.

Which kitchen answer kills you?

“Me!”. Use A honey toast or Classic pepperoni pizza! instead.

Can I reload after a Game Over?

Yes. Reload your latest save and pick a safe answer instead. A Game Over ends that run; it is not one of the 10 official endings.

Do Game Overs reset ending progress?

A Game Over does not count as one of the 10 official endings, so it does not add to your ending collection. Reload a save to continue.
