I’ve spent around an hour on this game, maybe a little more, but I only have seven out of twelve endings. Here are the ones I’ve found:
1: Do your job and train the robot to replace you
2: Lie in your bed and refuse to build the robot
6: Train the robot on Mr Green
8: Train the robot on Sniffy
9: Train the robot on Mr Green’s financial podcasts
10: Train the robot on your mother’s messages
12: Install the Invert-o-tron in the robot before turning it on
I had a theory that the endings were numbered from “worst” to “best” but discovering ending #10 has made me somewhat doubt that.
I haven’t discovered anything to do with the pool of acid or the spacesuit and I haven’t yet figured out the consequences of replacing the door motor so I’m guessing at least some of the missing endings are to do with those?
I ended up resorting to the source code for one or two. But as Ally said:
There’s an inventory item you haven’t used to its full potential yet
And an item you may not have found at all?
Have you found anything to do with the spacesuit?
3: Train the robot on yourself while drunk (don’t fix the door)
4: Train the robot on yourself while drunk (having fixed the door)
5: Train the robot on the robot
7: Train the robot on Kirrah
11: Train the robot on your mother’s messages, with the life support unit installed
13: Listen to your mother’s messages, fix the door, put the tools in the robot, get very lucky (I edited the source code for this, changed random(1,5) to simply 1
I went back and figured out a couple more things of my own accord (including reaching ending #7), and then after looking at your first couple of hints I figured out how to get endings #3-5. I haven’t revealed the hint you gave for #11 or #13 (what???) yet as I figure it’s something to do with the space suit.:
I figured out how to reach the spacesuit and detach the life support unit from it. However, I can’t figure out what I can install the life support unit in (I assume it should be something I can wear, but the only things that fit that description are the training helmet and the rubber mask, which don’t work).
Ah, I finally got #11. I don’t think I ever would have figured it out without knowing that there was something there to find: for ending #12, you can put the Invert-O-Tron in the robot either before or after installing the battery, whereas for ending #11, trying to put the life support unit inside the robot before the battery gives only a generic failure message, making me think that I was on the wrong track.
Just spent some time playing this; these are the endings I’ve gotten!
1/12: The Expected Performance
2/12: Simply Give Up
4/12: The “Future Of Maintenance”
6/12: Under New Management
7/12: Is That A SNAKE?
8/12: A Bitter Aftertaste
12/12: They Sent Him The Wrong Robot
So I’m missing 3, 5, 9, 10, and 11. From looking at some of the prior hints in this thread, sounds like I need to find something related to the spacesuit, so I’ll keep poking at the game to try to accomplish that. But for now, I’d love any hints for the others! (I haven’t looked at the spoilers spelling out what they are.)
Regarding this, I fixed the broken conveyor and put the tools in the robot before wearing the helmet, which got me the “contact management” option, which I did—but then I just got ending #1 again. So there must be something else I have to do that I’m missing?
That option is linked to the secret ending Josh mentioned, which heavily relies on luck!
Also, OMG… I just noticed that that the game’s title changes after getting the 13th ending! (And in case anyone missed it, the title is clickable!)
Based on your list, I believe the ending tied to repairing the conveyor belt should be a variation on one of the paths you already found.
A hint for the others (though I see Josh has just shared some too): I think there are at least two valid places you haven’t tried putting the helmet yet.
Okay, I’ve now gotten them all but #11! I read all the spoilers above, so I now know what that ending is, but I can’t figure out how to access the spacesuit…
You’re all comparing your endings while I’m stuck at the beginning…
I have ending 2 which is obvious but that’s all. I feel I’ve explored everything I can, found several objects and tried to use some where it could maybe make sense but I’ve made very little progress. The only thing I managed to do: I combined the Invert-O-Tron and Bio-shrink Ray and used it on the spider to make a giant spider.
You’re definitely on the right track by enlarging the spider! You should be able to use it right away. Figuring out where and how to do so would be a good next step, and should open up more possibilities!
