Finish a Parachute.exe run while keeping the Data Diver, start New Game Plus with 24 saved collectibles, deposit the White Tiger Doll as item 25, finish Moon.exe for Glitched Permission, then return to the Main House for six Bedtime Story tapes and carry the doll through the opened vent.
What “true ending” means here
Players often search for this route as the true ending or Moon.exe ending. The game and achievement guides also use names such as Redeemed and Story Time. This page uses “secret ending” as a neutral label; it does not claim that one ending is officially canon.
This route cannot be completed on a fresh save. The White Tiger Doll does not appear until New Game Plus, and Moon.exe requires all 25 collectibles to be registered.
Before leaving the first playthrough
Complete these checks before starting New Game Plus:
- Find the 24 collectibles available during the first run.
- Deposit each collectible into an Inventory Storage machine.
- Wait for an autosave after depositing the final items. Picking an item up without registering it can leave the carried total incomplete.
- Earn Executive Access for the Data Diver.
- At the Main Terminal, run Parachute.exe instead of handing the Data Diver to Dispatch.
- Follow the Parachute route to the Main House and finish that ending while keeping the Data Diver.
Keeping the Data Diver is what preserves the collectible data needed by the next run. If New Game Plus starts without the previous collection state, return to the earlier save and confirm that the Inventory Storage deposit was followed by an autosave.
Start New Game Plus and register item 25
Begin New Game Plus from the same completed profile. Return to the first Main Security Office and collect the White Tiger Doll. This is the twenty-fifth collectible and is exclusive to the repeat playthrough.
Deposit the doll into Inventory Storage and wait for the autosave indicator. Do not rely only on seeing the doll in your hand: Moon.exe unlocks from the registered 25-item state.
Checkpoint
Before continuing, confirm all three conditions:
- New Game Plus is active.
- The previous 24 collectibles carried over.
- The White Tiger Doll has been deposited and the game has saved.
If Moon.exe does not appear, these are the first conditions to recheck.
Complete Moon.exe
After all 25 collectibles are registered, use a terminal that can run the unlocked programs and start Moon.exe. It is a longer choice-based minigame rather than a short keypad puzzle. A failed branch can return you to a Moon.exe checkpoint, so retry from that checkpoint instead of abandoning the entire save.
Finish the minigame and accept the Glitched Permission upgrade for the Data Diver. This permission is the key that opens the previously inaccessible doors in the Main House.
Do not leave with the wrong permission
The route is not ready merely because Moon.exe was opened. The Data Diver must actually receive Glitched Permission. Check the terminal state before running Parachute.exe again.
Return to the Main House
Run Parachute.exe from the Main Terminal and travel back to the Main House. Use Glitched Permission on the newly available locked doors. These rooms contain the six Bedtime Story tapes needed for the final path.
For each tape:
- Open the corresponding glitched door.
- Collect the tape.
- Use Inventory Storage when available so the tape is preserved.
- Confirm the interaction has registered before moving to the next room.
There are six unique tapes. Replaying one recording does not replace a missing tape.
Assemble the six-tape story
Take the complete set to the upstairs assembly area in the Main House. Place the six tapes into the available story/tape machines. When every required tape is registered, the nearby vent route opens.
If the vent stays closed, check the machines individually. The most likely cause is one missing or unregistered tape, not a different keypad code.
Carry the White Tiger Doll into the final route
Before entering the opened vent, retrieve the White Tiger Doll from Inventory Storage and keep it with you. Follow the vent into David’s room and use the doll at the story display or pedestal when the room prompts the final interaction.
Entering the vent without the doll can prevent the secret-ending trigger. Make a recoverable save before this commitment if the platform and current checkpoint allow it.
