Fog Lamp Station Ending Guide
This page contains major spoilers. Finish at least one run before using it as a route checklist.
This guide can affect the discovery experience. For a blind run, return to the game page and finish one playthrough first.
Seven recorded outcomes
The current build records seven outcomes after the Endings node: four intended route endings and three failure outcomes. The topology panel places them after Endings so you can see how final broadcast and dock decisions branch.
Endings are not random at the final click. They come from accumulated state: map depth, clue count, route preparation, resource thresholds, and whether the final commitment is evidence-safe or safety-safe.
- Ending A: Rescue
- Ending B: Truth Broadcast
- Ending C: Escape Alone
- Ending D: Keeper
- Ending E: Mist Response
- Bad Ending: Frozen
- Bad Ending: Light Out
Successful and ambiguous routes
Rescue needs a strong signal and enough power. Truth Broadcast needs evidence, signal, and Mind together. Escape Alone needs a prepared dock route, boat key, flare, engine check, confirmed return line, and enough Heat. Keeper needs full evidence understanding and is closer to guardianship than rescue.
Evidence shortage usually gives you a way back to the station. Use that return before transmitting a thin case or launching with an incomplete route.
Failure outcomes
Mist Response is the signal failure route. It can follow an unsafe truth attempt or unstable broadcast conditions. Frozen is a safety failure tied to cold, missing dock preparation, or an unsafe escape commitment. Light Out is a resource failure when the lamp and transmitter cannot hold.
These outcomes are useful archive entries, but they are not soft warnings. They exist to make resource and safety conditions matter after the story becomes clear.
Replay direction
Do not repeat the same route if you want all endings. Play one run toward rescue signal, one toward archive truth, one toward dock escape, and one toward full evidence Keeper conditions.
If you already found Rescue, reduce ordinary distress calls next time and investigate the archive, lamp deck, and seawall earlier. If you keep reaching Mist Response, Frozen, or Light Out, read the final route matrix before committing.
