Hmmm, a third ending?

QuoteNow I'm curious as to how to get the third...

I didn't really want to reveal the joke ending all too early but I'll provide some clues.

Spoiler

1. Since its a joke ending you may want to keep that term in mind.

2. Once you know what your possibly up against, only then can you go on a mind numbing terribly implemented pixel hunt.(lucky for you that it is hidden close by).

But honestly I dont think many people will find it that funny besides a few of my RL friends

Now that its been out for a bit, out of curiosity has anyone unlocked the third ending?

Spoiler

Or should I say the Hamburglar ending

I found it and I also managed to crash the game. Room 8 line 109, Cannot run this command since there is a NewRoom command already queued to run - the error message says. It popped after

Spoiler

the Hamburglar ran in and Mike yelled "NOOOOOOOO".

And by the way, you (and ProgZ) made me watch the movie. I guess I'm a fan now.

Quotemanaged to crash the game. Room 8 line 109

That is really weird, I haven't been able to recreate the crash. Have you tried it again since?

Awesome! Thats good to hear! I believe all 4 movies are available on netflix instant stream now finally. Also on a side note I saw this on the internet the other day http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VklhUhVC3ps

Phantasm for the Atari!!!

I tried it four times from the same saved game and the crash kept occurring.
Then I replayed the game from the very beginning without any crashes and I think I have a rough idea what happened.

Spoiler

The first time I *somehow* got two endings mixed up, ie I got into the room with Ben's (un)dead body and the normal bad ending cutscene started playing. I got the Tall Man emerging from the wall, and the brother waking up and speaking about mother and father. Then I got the easter egg ending immediately after that.. it seems that by something I had done before entering the morgue, I managed to trigger both endings at the same time and they overlapped each other.
I can upload my save game for you if that helps anything.

How exactly do you get the hidden joke ending?

Kastchey · Fri 11/11/2011 08:38:19

If my memory doesn't fail me...

Spoiler

Keep choosing the most absurd answers while talking with your brother. Then leave the room, go to the cemetery, go back to your room and look for a hidden item under the desk. Eat it and then play the game normally through to the end. This should get you the joke ending.

Thanks, managed to get the joke ending. Also managed to get the error where it shows the serious ending first, and then plays the joke ending.

Spoiler

To get both endings I entered the tomb through the front door. To get just the one ending I entered through basement window.

Sorry for taking forever to respond. That is indeed how you get the joke ending and also I finally was able to replicate the error. I found the script problem and updated the download links for future players.
