Fans of indie games now have to convince the princess Stay with them in the cabinand there are two paths leading to that result. While the path the player takes to reach Happily Ever After doesn't significantly affect the events that occur along the way, it does determine which Voice is added. More specifically, one path adds the opportunistic voice, while the other path adds the paranoid voice. Here are the dialog options for both of these paths:

Opportunistic voice


  • “We leave. And then we have our whole lives to figure out what we want to do next.”
  • (explore) “Do you think you can open it?”
  • “Yeah. I think you have.”
  • [You’re not doing that.]
  • All we need to be happy is each other, what if we stay here and live together?
  • “Trust me. It's better for both of us if we stay. We can be happy here. We just have to want it.”

Paranoid voice

  • (probe) “What do you want to do?”
  • (Explore) “I want you to tell me what you want.”
  • (Explore) “There must be something you want!”
  • (probing) “But what makes you happy?”
  • “Okay. Something's obviously going on here, and I'm very scared. What if we just… don't do anything? What if we just stay here? No one gets hurt, and we just have a way to be happy. We will find together.”

  • When there is only one burner left, select “We don't need to extinguish it”.
  • When there is only one torch left, choose “Don't worry about what happens. If you could do anything in the world, what would it be? What would you choose?”
  • When there is only one torch left, [Say nothing.] And then [Slay the Princess.].
