How Is The Painter's Ending Determined?

As you progress through the Painter's Story, the game secretly tracks two separate scores, pushing you toward the Art ending or the Family ending. Based on your decisions and actions, the final tally will determine your ending when you finish the painting at the end of Chapter Six.

In general, collecting items and taking paths related to the Musician and the Daughter will push you toward the Family ending, while collecting items and taking paths related to the Painter or the Rat Queen will push you toward the Art ending. There are some hidden factors at play as well, which we'll detail below.

At the end of the story, if one score is significantly higher than the other, you'll get the related ending; while if neither score is high enough you'll get the Loop Ending. The exact values of each action and the required score for the Art and Family endings are unknown, so it's best to do everything that you possibly can to get the ending that you want while avoiding the other ending.

Important Decisions

The biggest factors in determining which ending you receive are the decision points, indicated by a scale drawing hidden nearby. Completing a decision point will push you toward one of the two main endings, and will always drop a memento (Family) or a rat sketch (Art) afterward. You can usually (but not always) tell which choice is which based on the colors of objects in the room; green indicates the Family choice, while Red indicates the Art choice.

The collectibles that you gather will each slightly influence your score. For best results, only pick up objects related to the ending that you want. Use the zoom function to get a good look at items before you pick them up; you can also return to the main menu and reload your game from the start of the current roಌom if you pick up an undesirablཧe item.

Art

Family

  • Rat Sketches
  • Notes with red edges.
  • Art supplies.
  • Liquor.
  • Dog accessories.
  • Weapons and tools.
  • Rat traps.
  • Green diary pages.
  • Photos of the family.
  • Daughter's drawings and toys.
  • Musical Instruments.
  • Beauty products.

Objects listed in bold seem to provid🍌e more progress toward their 🔥related ending, though this is not confirmed.

The most important objects (including the brush, locket, perfume bottle, and compact mirror for Family; the jar of pencils, bottle of wine, goblet, and broken palette for Art) will appear in the studio after they've been collected; Family collectibles on the left, Art collectibles on the right. Comparing how many of each you have is the easiest way to track your progress, but it's not a guarantee. The other collectibles will appear throughout the main area of the house. Note that some collectibles - especially those related to the Art ending - must be collected to finish the game, so you'll need to work harder to get the Family ending.

Miscellaneous Factors

Some gameplay factors seem to influence the game's ending, though it's unclear by just how much. It's always best to err on the side of caution and try these tricks if you're going for the Family ending!

Reassembling The Mirror

When you return to the main area at the end of Chapter One, go upstairs to the Musician's bedroom. Around the edges of the room are pieces of the vanity mirror. Collect them one-by-one to reassemble the mirror for som൩e extra score toward t💫he Family ending.

The Musician's Ghost

Whenever you're being pursued by the Ghost, listen for her footsteps to stop. She will occasionally fall over and stay on the ground weeping for about a minute. If that happens, go to her before she gets up. You'll be sent back to the respawn room as though she had caught you, but her voice lines will change, thanking you for helping her up. Not only does this help build toward the Family ending, but you keep any key items you picked up before getting caught; potentially, this means t꧃hat when you return to the room you can escape before the Ghost reappears!

Rat Queen Paintings

Some paintings throughout the house will briefly show the Rat Queen's face if you look directly at them. This pushes you toward the Art ending, so if you're going for Family load your save if the Rat Queen appears so that you can avoid the painting. The only exception to this is the large painting of the Rat Queen underground late in the story, which cannot be avoided.
