Figured I’d make this for those who actually finished it up

Ended up going back in time and getting on the train with the mom hoping it’d save her but ended up killing a mom AND her child

Do we know what the "best" real ending is? Monkeyed with it for 3 1/2 hours last night and the most definitive ending so far was with Pearl rebooting the game in 2018.

I thought the 5/5 rating and dying with mom were the best endings.

I just kept going until I got the end credits without choosing them. I guess I saw all of the endings.

It was a cool concept but it did turn into a chore for me as my OCD wouldn’t let me stop until I had no choice.

Story was meh but the concept was fun to me. Watched with a couple of people. It would be a cool concept to do with a murder mystery or a movie like Clue. I would like this concept merged with an Escape Room theme.

No spoilers so I can just click on the replies. Is this movie worth a shite or no?

I thought it ended pretty abruptly.

ETA: I’ve been singing the song from the trailer all night.

Are the video game reviews the multiple endings? We got a few of those. We just stumbled upon on one that had credits show afterwards.

We went through and watched pretty much every possibility we could think of last night.

The only thing I couldn't get to show up again is the first time we got him in his dad's office the code choices were Pax and PAC. We chose PAC. The next time was Toys or PAC.


We went through again to choose all of the oppposite choices, but Pax never showed up to choose.

Other than that I think we went though most of the possibilities.

I thought it was handled as well as it could be but there's a reason the people behind Black Mirror were resistant to the idea.

They made you choose too often, and if you chose "wrong", which it appeared we did multiple times, it felt as though you were wasting your time. I will say that one of those "dead end" branches was probably one of the better scenes in the movie though, where Stefan and Colin get high. I assume that had I chosen visit the doctor instead of Colin you would miss that scene completely which would be a shame.

Did you get the 5/5 game ending? He essentially tells the shrink (paraphrasing) that he realized he was being controlled, but the way for him to regain control was to only make it appear that we were in control by making all choices essentially meaningless.


Or something like that.

Yeah the high scene was good. However, after I had to go back and choose the doctor, any choice after that where I had to return somewhere else had the high scene in the highlight reel at the very beginning. Technically, it shouldn’t have been apart of that “storyline”.

Such a weird thing. I hate the entire concept. I hope to everything that this doesn’t become a “thing.” I do not want to invest this sort of energy into mainstream entertainment. I also don’t think that this story is super fantastic.

But damn if we didn’t invest multiple hours into this, view multiple endings, and continue to look for more. I think it’s actually well done. I just don’t think the average Joe can do this well.

Did anyone do the send the Netflix code to his computer? That path is hilarious

U essentially tell him that Netflix, a service from the future is controlling him and it ends with an awesome scene at his shrink.

There's is flowcharts all over Reddit on what to do.

It's much more fun just poking around
