Endacopia Secret Ending Guide

Updated August 10, 2026 Ending C Stay achievement

Quick Answer

To unlock Endacopia secret Ending C, earn the Ending A and Ending B achievements first, then return to a Chapter I save and complete three hidden secrets: Misery Town, Timesville, and the Office. After that, finish the story and return to Mellow's room instead of opening the final door.

Important Save Warning

Ending C is easiest with a copied save from late Chapter I, before the bosses in Misery Town, Timesville, and the Office. If you only have a post-Chapter I save, you may need to replay more of the game.

Community Route Update

xixi's Steam achievement guide documents a no-Clocky route for Stay, but a current comment under the guide says Ending C can still be reached after beating Clocky. Keep both paths as community reports until replayed on the current build; do not restart solely because Clocky was defeated.

Secret Ending Requirements

  1. Unlock Ending A. Use the Toy Saw route and earn Escape.
  2. Unlock Ending B. Use the working Saw route and earn Return.
  3. Complete the Misery Town secret. This requires the Metal Detector and the cinema route.
  4. Complete the Timesville secret. This requires fishing all 18 unique fish and using the monochrome shack key.
  5. Complete the Office secret. This requires the Telescope, phone number, Jobs app call, vending-machine wait, and symbol puzzle.
  6. Finish the late story route. Ignore the door that asks to be opened, return to Mellow's room, and continue after the familiar face appears.

Misery Town Secret

  1. Bring the Metal Detector. You need it before resolving the area too far.
  2. Go to the cinema. Use the Metal Detector on the sandy floor to find a remote.
  3. Use the remote on the screen. The screen reveals a route map.
  4. Copy the map. Follow the indicated path in the checkerboard area.
  5. Finish the hidden event. Continue until the hidden figure sequence resolves, then finish the area normally.

Timesville Secret

  1. Find the fishing paper. Use the Metal Detector to locate it.
  2. Catch 18 unique fish. Current route sources describe the set as all fish across the available time-of-day slots.
  3. Use the reward key. The fishing completion reward opens the small monochrome shack.
  4. Switch to windowed mode. Press Alt+Enter when the route calls for it.
  5. Continue to the angel sequence. Once the hidden event resolves, finish the area normally.

Office Secret

  1. Pick up the Telescope. Bring it to the Office entrance area with the sleeping figure.
  2. Reveal the phone number. Use the Telescope near the entrance, then call 277-5944 in the Jobs app.
  3. Decode the message. Current puzzle sources summarize the Morse-style instruction as staying behind the stairs for one minute.
  4. Wait below the stairs. Stand under the stairs near the vending machine for about one minute.
  5. Enter the symbol sequence. Use this order: Melo's eyes, Old Lady's hands, Mailbox's mouth, Dog's eyes, Janitor's hands, Old Lady's mouth, Janitor's eyes, Mailbox's hands, Dog's mouth.

Final Ending C Route

  1. Record the Clocky choice. The no-fight path is one community route, not a confirmed hard requirement; if you already fought Clocky, continue the secret audit before replaying.
  2. Finish Chapter I after all three secrets. Complete the areas and bosses normally after each secret resolves.
  3. Complete Chapter II and Chapter III. Current sources say the saw choice no longer decides Ending C after the three secrets are done.
  4. Do not open the final door. When the door asks to be opened, go back instead.
  5. Return to Mellow's room. Seeing a familiar face means the secret route is active.
  6. Follow the remaining sequence. Continue through the late route to unlock Stay.

FAQ

Can I unlock Stay before Escape and Return?

Current route sources describe Ending C as requiring both main endings first, so do Escape and Return before attempting Stay.

Do I need to catch every fish?

For Ending C, yes. The Timesville secret requires 18 unique fish according to the current route write-ups.

What if the familiar face does not appear in Mellow's room?

Recheck the three Chapter I secrets first. The most likely missing pieces are the fishing set, the Office symbol puzzle, or the Misery Town checkerboard route.
