How is the ending score calculated?
EndingScore = Discoveries × (+1) + Simon kills × (−2) + Cannula Refills × (−4) + surgery mistakes × (−3). Dialogue choices, time played and ordinary healing items do not change the score.
| Factor | Points | What counts |
|---|---|---|
| Discoveries found | +1 each | Every Clue and Document. 85 in total, so the maximum is +85. |
| Simon kills | −2 each | Only kills while playing Simon count. Kills as Zoe or Richard do not. |
| Cannula Refills | −4 each | Each revive as Simon with a Cannula Refill. |
| Surgery mistakes | −3 each | Mistakes that damage Zoe's health during the Part 3 surgery puzzles. |
All 5 endings and how to get them
| Ending | Condition | How | Trophy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Justice | Score 20 or more | Pick up most Clues and Documents, clear the surgery without mistakes and avoid fights as Simon. | For St. Amelia |
| Forever | Score 0 to 19 | Collect a fair share of documents but fight or revive often enough to land below 20. The score is not shown in game, so count as you go. | Here To Stay |
| Abandoned | Score below 0 | Skip optional documents and kill everything you can as Simon. PowerPyx's first run does exactly this. | Just Making Things Worse |
| Dog | New Game Plus · 3 coins in 3 dog banks | Bronze Coin (Video Star back room) → Guide Dogs bank on Main Street; Silver Coin (Clara Woods backyard shelf) → laundromat bank; Gold Coin (SWDP – Different, behind door 793) → bank past the red-light four-way split. Triggers after the final boss, at Richard on the pier. | Let’s Talk This Out |
| Sci-fi | New Game Plus · 3 books + Strange Access Card | Inspect History of Space Flight, 1952–1992 (Zoe's bedroom), Freeze Me / Wake Me (Atlas Square store) and A Map of Nowhere Else (behind door 621); take the Strange Access Card from the hotel button puzzle and use it on the keypad before the door where Simon pulls out his IV. It skips the final boss, so do not combine it with the Dog run. | Sci-fi-lent Hill |
What is the Strange Access Card button order?
The hotel door button puzzle in New Game Plus uses the Strange Postcard hints. Press 21, 17, 9, 21, 12, 24, 24, 5, 3, 9, 1, 14, then take the Strange Access Card. This is PowerPyx's corrected order.
How do you see every ending with the fewest runs?
PowerPyx's roadmap uses two full runs plus reloads. There is no chapter select, so keep manual saves (dial 100) at the points below.
- Run 1: collect everything and kill every enemy you can as Simon for Abandoned.
- New Game Plus: kill as few enemies as possible and collect the Clues and Documents again for Justice, while setting up the coins and books.
- Reload saves for Forever, Dog and Sci-fi. KeenGamer suggests a save from before the CEG Tower gate for Forever.
