So, I had fun with the Quarry, obviously. But I regret to say that I didnât feel that great about the Ending, So, I made my own version! A head cannon of mine. I hope you like it, and Iâm open to any criticism!
DISCLAIMER1: This post right here is a fantasy, Iâm not including the real-life budget or time constraints that the actual game was subject to. I know that this post is unrealistic for itâs scope and I know that theyâll probably never make an update to the ending. These are just fun ideas and things I wanted to fix with the game. My opinion ofcourse.
DISCLAIMER2: This post is gonna disregard the absolutely mad amount of branching in this game, So this ending specifically is in regards to the âgood endingâ. The ending where everyone lives and no oneâs infected by the end and no plot thread is left behind. But I will be talking about the possibilities in the new scenes that iâve implemented. Not every single, but the main ones at least .
MY EDITS BEGIN FROM CHAPTER 7 TO BEYOND, SO EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS BEFORE IS KEPT THE SAME, Except! JACOB can retrieve the Rotom arm back in Ch3. This helps with the ending
CHAPTER 7
- Chapter 7 spent too much time on Lauraâs backstory. While I understand that context is important and interesting, it left many other characters with much less screen time, so pulling that back will help give other characters more spotlight and fit into the story
âLauraâs flashback is cut in half, beginning with a conversation between Max and Laura, the conversation where Laura mentions Maxâs college rejection.
âAfterwards, Laura describes what theyâd been doing throughout the summer in the Montage; âMax and I talked a lot, We Kept looking over that night, like weâre trading conspiracies, we talked about the cop, the lady in the woods, the camp, that thing in the basementâ. Afterwards, they suggest that that thing in the basement was a werewolf.
âTravis shows Laura the poem and then grabs her and cuffs her on the radiator, the same scene ensues, with Werewolf max attacking Laura and Laura exploring the police station. Laura sees a picture of Chris and Travis and suggests that he was one the in the basement and travis was protecting him.
âNext day, Laura and Max plan their escape, with Laura stabbing Travis with a syringe and escaping. She also has a choice to grab his gun and shoot him, replacing the scene where Laura can shoot Travis while reading the poem.
- if she shoots travis, then she will then be killed by him during ch8
âThe rest of Chapter 7 is the beginning of Chapter 8, Max biting Laura, Ryan interrogating Laura and their walk to the Hackett house. Chapter 7 ends with Ryan and Laura falling into the mines.
CHAPTER 8
- I mostly made adjustments to ch8, so that the finale chapter can occur with all of them together
âThe chapter begins with Kaitlyn, Dylan and Abigail investigating the car and meeting with Emma (Either as a human or a werewolf). This scene plays out the exact same.
âAfterwards Kaitlyn and Dylan head to the Scrapyard with Abi and Emma in the Shelter.
âThe entire Scrapyard sequence is moved to Ch8. Everything has happened the same
âThe entire Hackett house sequence takes place in Chapter 8, Ryan letting Jacob free, Fight with the Hacketts and the encounter with Werewolf Chris. THE CHAPTER ENDS
SUMMARYâscenes
- Investigating Car
- Scrapyard sequence
- Entire Hackett house sequence
CHAPTER 9
- Iâve added new scene for Abi and Nick to complete their story. And made some adjustments. Biggest adjustments will be for Chapter 10
âThe Chapter begins with Travis explaining the story behind Silas the original albino werewolf and Caleb. But instead of saying that Silas is somewhere in the woods, Laura, Ryan and Travis decide to head back to the lodge for the final sequence.
âThen we have our first completely new scene with Abi and Emma:
- Abi searches the Shelter and finds Silver bullets, she also finds a bucket of water and the ladder. But Emma doesnât suggest that they go up there.
- They hear loud banging on the Shelter door, here we have a choice
>Investigate: if Abi calls out to who it is, Jacob replies back, they then open the door for him and rejoice that heâs alive, but not for long.
âWe hear loud roars, and it reveals himself to be Werewolf Nick. The Gang heads back to the shelter but canât close it fast enough; werewolf nick blasts through and pounces on Emma, Abi has two choices
- Abi, can either fend him off with a Bucket of Water or Run away.
- Bucket of Water: Saves Emma and Jacob with QTE
- Run away: Jacob sacrifices himself for Emma to run away. If Jacob not there > Emma dies. If Dylan climbed ladder in ch2 > Then must do button mash so Abi lives. Emma and Abi are now in surveillance room, SCENE ENDS.
- If Abi fends him off, the scene continues with new choices. Emma is climbing up the ladder and Abi can either fend him off or Climb up the ladder
- Fends him off: QTEs Ensue, Jacob then begins to climb
- Ladder: Coz Emma is climbing, Abi doesnât have enough time to get away from Nick > both Abi & Jacob die. SCENE ENDS.
- if Abi continues to fend him off she can climb the ladder or fight again.
- Fend him off: QTEs to keep Abi alive, Jacob is now safely in the Surveillance room
- Ladder: Jacob is currently climbing and thus Abi dies, not enough time for them both. SCENE ENDS
- Abi has now run out of Water in the bucket, and is left with two choices, SILVER BULLET or PLEAD WITH NICK
- If you Plead with Nick and your relationship with him is strong enough, then Nick will fight back against his curse for a few short moments, letting Abi run away through the shelter door, trapping him. If not strong enough relationship, then Abi dies. SCENE ENDS
- If you use Silver Bullets, then QTEs ensue and successfully doing them then Abi will throw the silver into his throat, Killing Werewolf Nick. Abi dies if fail QTE. SCENE ENDS
NOTE: If Abi is dead, then Emma is played with same sequence but no Pleading with Nick. If Emma is dead or turns into a werewolf then there is no scene. If Emma is infected from ch6, then she turns at the start of this scene, and if Jacob is also turned into a werewolf, then he can be in this scene aswell. When that happens, Abi must run from the very start through the ladder. If one of the two (emma or Jacob) is not turned, but the other is, then Abi must wait while fending them off so she can climb the ladder.
âNow, we Meet back with Max for our Second new Scene of the day.
- Max, now uninfected if you kill Chris, is roaming the island and then sets out to the main camp, swimming and reaches the boathouse. There, a hungry Caleb werewolf sat atop the Boathouse, is waiting for him and he has two choices
- DIVE INTO THE WATER or RUN TO BOATHOUSE
- RUN TO BOATHOUSE: Max immediately dies and gets gutted by Caleb
- DIVE INTO THE WATER: Max dives in and hides under the dock, in a DONT BREATHE section. He fails and Calebâs claw Burtâs through the wooden dock and grabs Maxâs head, severing it off from his body. He succeeds, Calebâs claw will break through and try to grab Max, while he dodges in QTEs. If he fails, then he dies. He successfully dodges them, he runs to shore and has two new choices
- THE BOAT or FOREST
- FOREST: Max runs into the forest, and hides in another donât breathe section. He fails, he dies. But if he Succeeds, he lives and runs back to the boat, where he then preforms the same actions in the Boat choice
- BOAT: Max runs to the boat we saw in Chapter 3, and must complete a button mash prompt to push the boat into Water while Caleb is after him. He fails it, he gets dragged back and killed. But if he succeeds then he was one last QTE, to knock Caleb off the Boat with a paddle, he succeeds and lives.
- DIVE INTO THE WATER or RUN TO BOATHOUSE
- Either way, Max alive or Dead, Caleb runs back, now heading to the lodge where others are at. If max lives then he rejoins the others in the final fight
âThe Very final scene of Chapter 9 is Kaitlyn and Dylanâs encounter of Caleb in the lodge. The scene stays exactly The same. But if Kaitlyn Kills Caleb, then Nick and anyone else infected by him joins the rest in the final scene. If not, Then Nick spends his time in the shelter
âSUMMARYâscenes
- Laura, Ryan and Travis telling them the story of Silas the werewolf and Eliza
- Abi, Emma and Jacob in a new scene while escaping and trapping werewolf Nick in the shelter
- Kaitlyn and Dylan vs Caleb in the Lodge
- Max escaping Caleb in the boathouse
CHAPTER 10 {The completely changed Ending}
- I was NOT happy with the ending Iâlol tell you that much. Thatâs why Iâm completely reworking it
âIf Nick is Alive, in the shelter and Caleb is killed, then we control Nick for a little as Abi, Emma and Jacob reunite with him. Jacob opens the locked surveillance door with a hairpin, and they have a sweet moment while reunited. If Jacob is dead then one of the characters will just break the lock. They go outside to reunite with Ryan and Laura. Max also joins everyone and now that everyone is here, itâs time for the fun.
âThey soon realize theyâre being watched and as they look up at the moon, a large creature emerges Atop the lodge; Itâs the Albino Wolf, Silas.
REMINDER: This scene is different based on the characters that are alive. This is what happens if Everyone lives. You play as multiple characters switching between one another, the order is when you play them
âThe Final scene begins and everyone starts to panic. Laura fires the first shot into the lodge roof but the White wolf dodges it, Everyone scatters across Lodgeâs front yard.
>>Emma, Kaitlyn and Jacob head behind the van.
>>Dylan, Ryan, Max and Travis hide behind Laura with a shotgun
>>Abi and Nick are hiding behind trees
- JACOB
- If Jacob got the rotor arm in ch3, then Kaitlyn can fix the car. But she needs time so Jacob has two choices, Be the Distraction or Protect Kaitlyn. If he doesnât get the rotor arm, then they simply fight back against Silas, the options stay the same, change only Jacob is the only one alive.
- Be The Distraction: Jacob runs out into the open and grabs Silasâ attention, which he then has a chase scene with multiple QTEs to dodge silas who backs off after Lauraâs shots. If you Fail QTEs, Jacob dies.
- Protect Kaitlyn: Kaitlyn Gives Emma her shotgun and tells her to cover them, since Jacob SUCKS. You switch to playing Emma
- If Jacob got the rotor arm in ch3, then Kaitlyn can fix the car. But she needs time so Jacob has two choices, Be the Distraction or Protect Kaitlyn. If he doesnât get the rotor arm, then they simply fight back against Silas, the options stay the same, change only Jacob is the only one alive.
- EMMA
- As Emma, there will being multiple shooting segments, and if you fail one of them you die, but can live if Jacob has the silver bracelet and tosses it to you with a button mash prompt to save Emmaâs life. If you fail and die as Emma, then Kaitlyn dies aswell and Jacob runs away.
- RYAN
- Silus went from the group at the van, to yours as he tries to swipe at you all but Laura is pushing him back with a shotgun. Out of nowhere, Silus grabs Dylanâs leg and drags him and Ryan now has to make a choice. Does he Grab Lauraâs shotgun?
- If he doesnât then Laura canât react fast enough, before Dylan has already be thrown against a tree, dead.
- If he did grab the shotgun, he can go and shoot Silas, pushing him off of Dylan. If failed, dylan dies. But if you succeed and your relationship with Dylan is strong then Dylan can kiss you right then and there in gratitude. (I know itâs unrealistic but this is my fantasy damnit)
- Silus went from the group at the van, to yours as he tries to swipe at you all but Laura is pushing him back with a shotgun. Out of nowhere, Silus grabs Dylanâs leg and drags him and Ryan now has to make a choice. Does he Grab Lauraâs shotgun?
- MAX
- Silas goes after Travis and drags him as well, then you have a choice to save him or not
- Not saving him: leads to his death, and he will attack you aswell, so you have to grab Travisâ Pistol and push Silas back with QTEs . If not, Max dies.
- Save him: Max grabs Travisâ leg and has everyone else alive grab him aswell, pulling him back in a button mash sequence. Get him out alive, and heâll protect Max from Silas
- Silas goes after Travis and drags him as well, then you have a choice to save him or not
- NICK
- Silas now heads into nearby trees and tries to hunt down both you abi. Nick & Abi hide in a donât breathe Section, followed by a QTE to not step on a twig and alert him. Fail any of that and you and Abi are dead.
- Nick and Abi now try to sneak back and rejoin the others, but Silas spots Abi. Will Nick Run back to the group or Try to distract Silas?
- Run: If he runs back to the group, then Abi is definitely dead
- Distraction: Nick will try to alert Silas and get his attention, when he does. Nick gets chased by Silas while Abi escapes. Nick gets chased through the woods with the most amount of QTEs in the game to deal with, which if he fails, leads to his death. But he succeeds and safely runs back to the group.
- LAURA
- Now that Kaitlyn has finally finished the van, everyone starts to pile up inside, but Travis stays Behind and asks laura to do that aswell. Will Laura finally end the curse or get out of here?
- Get out of here: Laura hops in with everyone and leaves travis behind, who is met by an angry Silas and dies. The Game ends
- End the Curse: Laura joins Travis while the rest leave, and Silas makes his attack. Laura must now fight him off in three different aiming sequences, if she fails even one, her and travis are both dead.
- Now that Kaitlyn has finally finished the van, everyone starts to pile up inside, but Travis stays Behind and asks laura to do that aswell. Will Laura finally end the curse or get out of here?
>>After that, Silas jumps onto the vanâaim to shoot him off, if you fail, then the van will explode, killing every single character inside.
>>If succeeded, Silas will be dazed, then Laura preforms a button mash sequence to load the silver shell. Laura dies if she doesnât load the shell. And finally, with one single Silver shell, Laura ends the curse, killing Silas and curing every single werewolf.
REMINDER:
- There are TWO version of the finales, the âLast Standâ, which is the scene in the I had just told you about above^. This sequence is unlocked if any of the characters that are alive have silver shells, either through exploring the Shelter or Coming back as Laura or Ryan. And if you donât have a shotgun, then you can also find the Shotgun that Kaitlyn dropped during her encounter with Bobby in the lodge. If you donât have either a shotgun or silver shells, then there is one final way to Kill Silas.
- The second version of the Finale, the âVan Attackâ, is the Finale that plays if you have 3 or less characters alive and have no shotgun or silver shells. In this sequence, you can play as any character, and have two choices. RUN INTO WOODS or HIDE IN VAN. Running into the woods will lead to multiple Donât Breathe sequences, failing it leads to death, but Succeeding leads to survival and Silas leading. But, Hiding in the Van, will allow you to rummage through it and if you got Emmaâs bags in Ch1, then youâll find a sharp silver ring which you can use to stab Silas with It. If no ring, then you get cut in half
\THE EPILOGUE\**
So, the epilogue is pretty simple. All alive characters, are sat down at a police station being interviewed. If you have enough evidence, then the kids are set free, but not enough, then the kids are in jail. Whatâs also cool, is that if you help Travis enough, heâll let you free himself. But if you betray him, then jail is certain. Only if you have enough evidence, can you be free
FINALLY: Alright, I told you about my idea, I definitely feel like Iâve missed something, so please tell me in the comments, I would love to hear anything you guys have to say. negative or positive. ;}
