Ending Summary Table
| Working Type | Likely Requirements | Expected Outcome | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 1: Survival-Focused | Reach the exit and survive the final encounter. | Resolves the immediate threat; may leave the larger mystery open. | Speculative |
| Type 2: Lore-Heavy / Revelation | Explore thoroughly, read documents, solve optional puzzles. | Reveals more about the force hunting Jason Thompson and the facility's history. | Speculative |
| Type 3: Secret / Optional | Collect hidden items, reach hidden areas, or make a specific final choice. | A hidden or alternate conclusion beyond the standard outcomes. | Speculative |
Type 1: Survival-Focused
The most straightforward outcome involves reaching the exit and surviving the final encounter. This ending would resolve the immediate threat but may leave the larger mystery unanswered. It is the expected default outcome for a first playthrough focused on survival.
Type 2: Lore-Heavy / Revelation
A deeper ending is expected for players who thoroughly explore the hospital, read documents, and solve optional environmental puzzles. This outcome would reveal more about the force hunting officer Jason Thompson and the history of the abandoned facility.
Type 3: Secret / Optional
Secret endings in horror games typically require collecting all hidden items, reaching a hidden area, or making a specific final choice. We are verifying whether It Reaches contains such an ending and what its exact conditions are.
