"The best games with multiple endings give all the power to the player, allowing them to guide the story and influence events as they progress. Sure, we all love a linear game with a defined narrative but sometimes you want your choices to matter, especially if you can play the whole game again and get a totally different result. This list is for when one ending is not enough--for those who demand more!"
"Little did we realise there was another path, we didn't have to kill anyone, and could in fact reunite every monster at the end. Over time this became better known. There was a "neutral" ending for those who had slipped and killed one or two monsters, a "pacifist" (or "true") ending for those who kept things light throughout, but there was also the "genocide" ending--for players who wiped out every single monster in the Underground."
Multiple-ending games hand narrative control to players and make choices materially impact story outcomes and events. Some titles present a small selection of distinct paths, while others enable wide variation in play style that produces numerous endings and extended replayability. Multiple endings appear across genres, with frequent overlap in role-playing games and occasional examples in unexpected categories. Undertale exemplifies branching conclusions through combat choices, including neutral, pacifist/true, and genocide outcomes that alter encounters, boss difficulty, character fates, and final moments. Certain endings reveal major plot developments and can dramatically change the overall experience.
