Direct Answer
Endacopia's Ending C route requires one secret in each of the three Chapter I areas. All three share a pattern: an easy-to-miss tool, a hidden clue, then a route that opens off the main path.
| Area | Tool | The secret in one line |
|---|---|---|
| Misery Town | Metal Detector | Cinema scan → map → mime-room hole → basement |
| Timesville | Metal Detector + fishing | Beach scan → Fishing Paper → 18 fish → Old Key → waterfall shack |
| The Office | Telescope | Spot the figure → call 277-5944 in the Jobs app → stairs clue |
Do all three before finishing each area's main route — some items become unreachable afterward. Keep a clean Chapter I save.
Misery Town Secret
- Bring the Metal Detector into the cinema / projection tent in Misery Town.
- Scan to uncover the hidden map.
- Follow it to the mime room and find the hole leading to the basement.
- Play through the basement mini-games to complete the secret.
Timesville Secret
The longest chain — it doubles as the fishing achievement route:
- Use the Metal Detector on the beach to dig up the Fishing Paper.
- Get the fishing license (Catthew's hide-and-seek chain), then catch all 18 fish — 3 exclusive fish appear per hour cycle, so work through the clock.
- The completed collection yields the Old Key from the Fish Paper chain.
- Use the key at the shack near the waterfall. One reported trick: enter the small waterfall room in windowed mode (Alt + Enter) to interact with the window. (community-reported)
- Optional: the graveyard Surgeon gives a hint about what to do next if you show him the key.
Office Secret
- Win the Telescope from the Timesville secret party (password Yellow).
- Use the Telescope to spot a strange figure displaying 277-5944.
- Dial it in the Jobs app on the Office computer.
- Follow the clue near the vending-machine stairs — sources describe a short wait under the stairs before the hidden path opens.

How the Secrets Connect to the Endings
- All three secrets are required for Ending C / the Stay achievement — see the Ending C guide.
- The Yeti is a separate hidden route (finding Andy after the endings) — it is not one of the three area secrets.
- Doing a secret does not lock you out of Ending A or B; only missing them locks you out of C.
How to Know It Worked
- Misery Town: the basement mini-game set is complete.
- Timesville: the Old Key has been used at the waterfall shack.
- Office: the post-call route near the stairs has opened.
- The Stay route triggers at the end of Chapter III only if all three are done — if it does not, use the troubleshooting checklist in the Ending C guide.
Quick Checklist
- Misery Town: detector → cinema map → mime room → basement.
- Timesville: beach detector → Fishing Paper → 18 fish → Old Key → waterfall shack.
- Office: Telescope → 277-5944 → Jobs app → stairs.
- Keep a clean Chapter I save before boss handoffs.
- Verify all three before the Chapter III finale.
