Do you have a guide for all the endings? I've only been able to achieve 2 of them so far and can't tell if I'm missing something to get the rest
hi! i just added an ending guide to the game page, hopefully that will help! (i also had to adjust some code but it should all be working correctly)
an incredible and oddly heartwarming story
