It has been hinted here before by Danos1975, but there is a huge easter egg to be found at the Coffee Conversation scenario.

Kudos Ariane for raising the bar for this genre. What a giant amount of work this must have been.
A benchmark for other projects to follow.
Little question how does one get the third paula ending? I got the sita and the gymnasts i guess u have
to fail at the merchant game? But how do u fail cause u always seem to be able to get new chips.

You need to suck at video games.

I have found some ends. But can someone tell me how many ends are in the game which are ending with sex or other erotic scenes?

Sorry to be harsh, I know I missed a hint on a former page myself, but at least TRY to find the answer in some of the earlier posts rather than having people add to the already 16 pages long thread!
Sex endings with Rachel:

Gamer Girl, Interogation Techniques

The rest should be pretty much self explained.

And on that note, everyone else can stop posting their list of endings and expecting the rest of us to sift through them finding what they missed now.
I've made a new thread under hints and walkthroughs with a link for a complete walkthrough. The list of endings is categorized and pretty much in the order you see them if you go through the Gallery from the main menu (in game .. )

PLEASE the hints for most endings are already here in these pages!

Now can we get this thread back at discussing just how Awesome this game is?

Oh btw, to the other game authors:
I mentioned Ariane is the Star of the Board cause her works are so EPIC and in a class of their own. But don't forget how much time she uses on each game compared to everyone else!
It's time well spent for Ariane, but that way of working just isn't for everyone, sooo just keep up the good work, and don't be discouraged that your work isn't up to Ariane's standards!

after finding all the endings i cant praise enough how interwoven all the stories are and how it works alltogether
with a little more finetuning i could imagine this beeing a commercial product!
instead of the forum posts and walkthroughs maybe a built in "branching path" indicating where the endings are
(e.g. like in zero escape) could be an option?

p.s. if i had a wish free i would hope for a cooperation of arianeb with tlaero or with goblinboy as those are the giants
of the genre to me

Wow, I feel like a total ass to miss the whole story-arc

After this comment, I feel like I totally missed something. Not sure if I'm reading way more into that sentence then is actually there, or if there really was something huge I have yet to realize.

As for playing through the game, yeah, my order was also completely random. To my mind that first set of choices was already the start of the day. My very first play-through had me having sex with bonnie. Finding the 11th Ariane ending was the last thing I managed. It did seem very random how the day did or didn't change, and that is quite possibly a result of not originally treating that first set of options as a PART 1-3.

Coming to this - and seeing how many people say "found X/40 so far, hints please" - I start to believe it would make more sense to never even mention how many endings are there in the game

I'd disagree with this part. In an RPG, you move forward until you kill the Big Boss, kill the surrounding mob, or get a 'quest complete' notification. In an FPS, until time runs out, you return with the opposing flag, or all your opponents are dead. In a puzzle game, until the puzzle is solved... etc, etc. Games need clear victory conditions.

Yes, there are open worlds with free roaming. These, however, tend to either have quests (which function as traditional games), or are simply a, live and do what you want, and keep on going. SITA clearly has endings. The confusing part about it, is that the player is supposedly reliving the same day, a-la Groundhog's Day with Bill Murray. However, while in that, Bill gained knowledge which allowed him to ask different questions, and thus get different results, this game seems to change the result while supplied the exact same input.

I enjoyed the game quite a bit. The graphics were great. The characters and story were entertaining. There were interesting tie-ins and cross references to make it feel more like the player is 'in the know' on an inside joke.

That being said, I never felt like I was given indications of where to replay the story next to advance the big picture or reach a different conclusion. Without the gallery of endings I quite likely would have had that first bonnie ending, gone back to the bar to see Roni, seen Rachel as a plant for Part 4 (since I did know that would open before ever starting the game) and figured Part 2 was kind of a minor setup thing. The I would have dated Ariane until I managed to have sex with her (knowing that we did in the previous game and so sure I could again). By then Part 4 was open and went through feeling like the game was complete. Without seeing that I was at 8, 13, 20, x value out of 40, making me realize how much I had supposedly not yet seen, I would have considered it nearly wrapped up. Heck, I didn't even find out there was a Wendy until long after I thought I was done with the game.

Once again though, I will say that I was baffled, when I reached a totally new ending

bonnie does porn, bonnie the psycho, bonnie and the roommates (believe only the first shows up in the gallery as an actual ending)

only to find out that in fact they didn't 'count' as endings. It does make me wonder what I may have missed even though I've hit that 40/40.

The first time you hit that, the ending is random. Each subsequent pass through it, it cycles through one of nine total endings.

PS - all - PLEASE there is a walkthrough if needed in the hints and walkthrough section, and plenty of hints throughout this topic. LOOK

and PPS - if I haven't already, Thank You Ariane for another fantastic scenario. Will this grow over time as the first did, or will it be a second release fleshed out? Or will you move in another direction? I enjoy your blog, and have been enjoying your work for years. Very impressive 3D renderings...

[fukae]

How do you get the House Party with Rachel ending? Help.

[Hoboy]

Did you read the previous post? Just read the previous posts and hints - they are all there. Let's not fill this thread up with repetitious posts...

So, finally I have found all 40 endings and have the time to comment on this game.

The first thing I want to say is that it is absolutely brilliant and by far the best work out there (sorry Tlaero! ;P). I enjoyed it a lot! I especially like the fact that you do not get laid that easily and that it has in general what I would call "a realistic touch" and storyline. The huge effort of telling us this amazing story bit by bit, in the course of which we get to know almost all people we meet is just incredible. Thank you for that!

Still, I cannot resist to mention a few things that would make this game even better for me:

1) Why is there almost no chance to be a real jerk? I mean, is it really necessary that Dave intervenes when we try to hit on Rebecca or the hot singer in the gym? No need for an entire storyline there (yet, it would be a rather easy way to implement even more paths if you made those 2 accessible). Rebecca apparently is pointless to date since she's lesbian, but why not give us the chance to approach her and try to ask her for her help in getting another date with Ariane? Especially if our first date ended in sex and we didn't call her for a week. I would consider this a good chance to go out with both of them and maybe have another funny evening! Also, the singer could eventually take you backstage to the concert where you meet the supermodel rachel spahr and desperately try to hit on her or something like that.

2) I find it rather sad that the Wendy path is so short and limited. Who wouldn't want to go on a date with a girl like that who has such stone hard abs? It would be amazing if there was a chance to continue after the topless volleyball event. Maybe celebrate with the girls or something like that.

3) You allude to Rachel's various personalities, yet we only see the Geek, the Supermodel and Arch Angel. Personally, I am incredibly curious for the Vampire. Are you planning on implementing a story for that as well?

4) Absolutely brilliant work. It offers so many chances to even increase the experience by adding different scenarios step-by-step. If you need any help on developing story lines, I would delight in being a part of it!!!

Thanks for your effort!!!

My point was that there is a list of 40 endings. In my mind, that means the game has EXACTLY 40 endings. I was trying to get closer to the full set of 40. I found, what to me is a different ending, yet my total endings found did not increase.

I guess my point was actually two-fold. Letting anyone just starting the game know ahead of time that the gallery of endings and game reachable endings are not a matchable set. Secondly, hinting to Ariane that having a comprehensive list of endings would be preferable.
