Welcome To The Dark Place throws you into the deep end, hoping you’ll come out the other side a little more clued-up on what’s happening around you.
Through paying attention to The Dark Place’s six rules, alongside continuous trial and error, you will quickly learn what not to do so you have a fighting chance to exit through the Cloud and leave the darkness behind—for good. But purposely doing things wrong gives you one of the many Welcome To The Dark Place endings, and that’s exactly what we want.
If you’re wondering just how many endings there are in Welcome To The Dark Place, well, we are too. It wasn’t until I randomly got ending 106 that I realized The Dark Place could kill me in hundreds of ways.
So, here are all Welcome To The Dark Place endings we’ve got so far.
Every Welcome To The Dark Place ending we’ve got and their unlock requirements
The easiest way to get an ending is to purposely do everything you’re not supposed to. Ignore The Dark Place’s six rules and choose the option that’ll most likely kill you. Most endings are game-over screens, which reset your progress back to the moment you fell from the Cloud and crash-landed into The Dark Place.
But key and main endings will feature a pixelated cutscene and offer intriguing new lore at the main menu, right before you head into a new playthrough. This can point you to an untaken path or provide a bit more info on a location you might have visited before. So be sure you pay attention. We recommend gathering these endings when you’re not in the middle of collecting the parts needed to fix the Dragon at the Cement Tower.
This article is a work in progress and will be updated as we find more endings.
