Which is the problem. I've chosen all three choices for Danny before as well as the stitched man. What special combination was I supposed to choose? I've chosen:
Why should I trust you > What was I thinking
Why should I trust you > Stab it
Hallucination? > What was I thinking
What is happening > Stab
What is happening > Cut Stitch
What is happening > What was I thinking

When facing Danny, don't forget your job is to cure Julius's condition. You'd better make sure Danny isn't part of Julius's condition.

And as for the Stitched Man - which is the only symbolism that makes sense?

Phew! Thanks to all your hints thus far, I finally was able to get that 6th ending. Wow.
Even though I sort of saw that plot twist coming, it was pulled off really well. How her name changed from "Gaberial" to "illusion of gabriel" to "Hallucination" and how the color for her name started to fade was really a nice touch.
Although, for some odd reason, I found that the text cut off in mid-sentence at the very end. Maybe that was just my computer? Also, the credits feel a little to easy to skip.

You mentioned before that you can't create extra routes to the 6th ending because your artist quit, but what about making a hint system? This is something that can be done using only programming and text, and wouldnt need any additional artwork. I'm not sure if you'd want to do that, but I know the hints here on the forum helped me out a lot. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for the amazing game!

I'm still at a loss. Based on your clues, I've chosen
Hallucination > Cut Stitch
and even
Hallucination > Stab
But in the end, I just keep getting the 4th Ending.

Could it be due to my choices for the White Woman? For these few tries I've always been choosing
I have no need for words, Julius is to blame, To make Julius understand, You will never know.

Nope. Intentional. Think about it for a moment...

I hope you liked the Epilogue?

Probably. One of them is wrong. Think about it for a moment - if you want to know the truth about what happened to Julius, which of the answers you named is counterproductive?

Also, if you keep getting Ending 4, it's because of Julius's mental condition. Keep that in mind during the very final choice.

I've tried multiple times but I'm still not getting it.
I had him draw himself. Then I tried to put him on meds. I had him talk to Sarah, then I ran away from the beast. I told him to forget about Rachel, and then I told Jane it wasn't a good idea to see Julius, and his previous therapist came and took her away. I asked Danny if he was a hallucination.
Then, with the white lady, I picked "I have no need for words,"I have no need for words, "Julius is to blame", "To make Julius understand", "Only you can know." Then I cut the stitches because that was the only symbolism that seemed to make sense to me.
Then I saved and tried both solutions for the final choice, but both of them took me to ending 4.
So, Taleweaver/anyone who's already beaten it... any help for me, please?

Um, I was able to get ending 5, though. I like ending 5. :3

About the symbolism of the stitched man... It could either symbolize a dangerous person who is stitched up for that reason, or a person who is bound up and unable to be free. Thus, doesn't that mean both stabbing it and cutting the stitches can be proper actions to take?

I don't know where you come from, but in my culture, dangerous people might be restrained but certainly not stitched up. Especially not if it's the eyes, ears, nostrils and mouth that are stitched up.

I'm fairly sure the correct answers, if I want more information, are:
I see you, it is answers you seek, to make you understand, only you can know.
But when I try them all, I get a game over. I've tried each of them separately, but I still got a normal ending.
Do I need to say that the white lady is trying to punish Julius?

Wait a minute, Taleweaver. You said that for my choices with the White Woman, one of them is wrong. For Abject you also said that one of them is wrong. However, for both of us, only the last option is different. And you told me before my last option was right... How is this possible? What option did we choose that were wrong?

Does that mean I have to choose the mental condition chose, or the not relating choice?

If anyone wants to PM me, I'll also help with some of the answers.
Also, if you keep getting a game over with the white lady your _really really_ close. Keep using the last two answers that gave you a game over and try to find a way to use them without dying. Thats what I did, anyway. I hope that helps.
