Toy Saw leads to Escape, Ending A. Real Saw leads to Return, Ending B. Stay, Ending C, becomes available after both main routes and three hidden area sequences. The Yeti is a separate post-completion scene after the main ending set.
Endacopia's ending achievements hide their descriptions on Steam. The table below reveals route requirements but not the story outcome of each scene. Complete one blind run before using the detailed Stay checklist if you want to preserve the game's major surprises.
| Ending | Core requirement | Best preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Escape, A | Choose the Toy Saw | Save before the Saw Box |
| Return, B | Choose the Real Saw | Reload a pre-choice backup |
| Stay, C | Complete A and B, then use the safe three-secret route | Keep a clean pre-Prologue Clocky branch |
| The Yeti | Finish the main ending set, then find Andyland | Let the credits and follow-up scene finish |
The save-efficient plan
- Finish the first playthrough normally and back up the save before opening the Saw Box.
- Take the Toy Saw for Escape, then restore that Saw Box backup and take the Real Saw for Return.
- After both ending flags are present, begin or restore a dedicated branch that skipped Prologue Clocky by entering Cheshire directly.
- Progress that branch to Chapter I, stopping before the three optional bosses, then make an external backup.
- Complete all three hidden area sequences, fight the bosses, and use the Toy Saw route for Stay.
Steam Cloud synchronizes one slot, so it does not replace a manual branch backup. Pause Cloud sync while copying a save, close the game first, and keep the untouched copy outside Steam's userdata tree.
Ending A: Escape
Escape is determined by one Chapter II item choice. It does not require a special set of dialogue answers across the earlier game.
Reveal the Ending A route
- Reach the Chapter II Saw Box and enter code 471.
- Take the Toy Saw.
- Give the Toy Saw to the toilet figure during the Chapter II epilogue.
- Continue through the Chapter III path and its final encounter.
- Follow the normal epilogue exit to unlock Escape.
Ending B: Return
Return uses the other Saw Box item. Reloading immediately before the choice is the fastest way to see A and B without repeating all of Chapter I.
Reveal the Ending B route
- Reach the Chapter II Saw Box and enter code 471.
- Take the Real Saw.
- Give the Real Saw to the toilet figure during the Chapter II epilogue.
- Continue through the alternate Chapter III and house sequence.
- Complete the final interaction to unlock Return.
Ending C: Stay
Stay is the long secret route. Finish Escape and Return first, then use a dedicated branch that has not fought the Prologue Clocky. Current route reports disagree about which flags can be bypassed, so the safest reproducible plan is to take the Toy Saw, finish every area secret on this run, and defeat the three optional bosses instead of using their avoid paths.
Skip the first Clocky by going straight to the bathroom with Cheshire, complete the Misery Town, Timesville, and Office secrets on one run, fight Trapezist, Chameleon, and AI, give the Toy Saw to the toilet figure, then return to Mellow's room in the final epilogue.
Misery Town secret
Reveal the Misery Town steps
- Bring the Metal Detector to the cinema with the sandy floor.
- Search until the detector finds a Remote.
- Use the Remote on the cinema screen and record the map that appears.
- Return to the checkerboard and mime area, follow the recorded map, and complete the underground sequence.
- The appearance that ends the sequence is the completion signal for this area.
Timesville secret
Reveal the Timesville steps
- Use the Metal Detector in Timesville to find the Fishing Paper.
- Catch all 18 fish across the full day and night cycle.
- Use the resulting key at the small house beyond the waterfall route.
- If the scene requires it, switch between fullscreen and windowed mode with Alt+Enter.
- Continue until the angel sequence appears. That marks this secret complete.
Office secret
Reveal the Office steps
- Bring the Telescope from Timesville to the Office entrance near the bench and train stop.
- Read the distant CALL US number: 277-5944.
- Use the Jobs app on the Office computer to call that number.
- The audio clue sends you behind the stairs near the vending machine for one minute.
- Wait there, enter the hidden room, use the VR equipment, and finish the symbol sequence.
Final Stay trigger
Reveal the final trigger
- After all three secrets, defeat Trapezist, Chameleon, and AI on the prepared branch.
- Use the Toy Saw route and continue through Chapters II and III.
- At the final epilogue, do not enter the door marked please open.
- Turn around and return to Mellow's room.
- If the setup registered, the room changes and Beaten Clocky appears.
- Defeat the rematch, follow the altered passage, and finish the Surgeon's terminal sequence.
Some player guides report that other saw or boss combinations can work. The sequence above avoids those disputed shortcuts and keeps every commonly cited Stay flag on the same branch.
The Yeti
The Yeti is listed as its own Steam achievement rather than one of the A, B, and C labels. Complete the main ending set, allow the credits and follow-up sequence to finish, then interact with the Andyland appearance and complete the rhythm minigame.
An ending finished but the achievement is missing
Update the game and return to the title screen. Patch 1.07 added a Steam API check that rechecks the ending achievements. The same patch added another check when Mellow's room is entered while the gold soccer ribbon is visible. Press F9 if the game's saved volume is muted, then use Shift plus the plus or minus key for adjustment.
Ending sources
Ending names come from Steam's official achievement list. The route structure and near-complete Chapter I save method were compared against the Steam community's spoiler-controlled endings guide and current walkthrough results. Patch behavior comes from AndyLand's official 1.07 announcement.
