Understanding Endings in Scary Shawarma Kiosk
Scary Shawarma Kiosk: the ANOMALY features multiple ending types based on your performance during the night shift. Your ending is determined by several factors including rule compliance, anomaly encounters, inspection behavior, and overall survival success.
Endings are typically categorized as: Good Endings (successful survival), Bad Endings (termination or failure), and Unstable Endings (partial success with complications). Understanding what leads to each ending type is crucial for improving your survival rate.
Good Endings
Good endings represent successful completion of your night shift with minimal violations and proper handling of all encounters:
Requirements for Good Endings
- Zero Rule Violations: Follow all posted rules without exception
- No Anomalies Served: Never serve food to impostor customers or anomalies
- Clean Inspection: Properly handle the 2 AM driverless car inspection
- No Meat Incidents: Handle pulsing/talking meat correctly by turning off grill and leaving
- Proper Customer Service: Serve all legitimate customers correctly
- Resource Management: Maintain adequate power and supplies throughout
Good endings typically show "Shift Ended - Status: Stable" or similar positive messages. These endings indicate you've successfully navigated the night shift without major mistakes.
Bad Endings
Bad endings occur when you make critical mistakes that lead to termination or failure:
Common Causes of Bad Endings
- Serving Anomalies: Serving food to impostor customers or anomalies
- Inspection Violations: Looking at the kiosk during driverless car inspection
- Multiple Anomalies Detected: Too many errors trigger inspector appearance
- Rule Violations: Breaking posted rules repeatedly
- Meat Incident Mishandling: Not properly responding to pulsing/talking meat
- Resource Failure: Running out of power or critical supplies
Termination Messages
Bad endings often display messages like:
- "MULTIPLE ANOMALIES DETECTED. ACCEPTABLE LIMIT EXCEEDED. INSPECTOR ASSIGNED FOR CORRECTION. CONTACT VERIFIED. EMPLOYEE NEUTRALIZED."
- "Your Presence Was Not Authorized. Reality Protocol Initiated. Status: Erased."
- "Shift Ended - Status: Eliminated"
- "Shift Ended - Status: Terminated"
Unstable Endings
Unstable endings represent partial success—you survived the shift but made some mistakes or encountered complications:
Characteristics of Unstable Endings
- Minor Rule Violations: Small mistakes that don't lead to immediate termination
- Anomaly Encounters: Encountered anomalies but handled them correctly
- Resource Scarcity: Survived but struggled with power or supplies
- Close Calls: Nearly failed but managed to recover
- Partial Compliance: Followed most rules but missed some details
Unstable endings typically show "Shift Ended - Status: Unstable" or "Ending 2/5" type messages. These indicate you survived but there's room for improvement.
Ending Types by Scenario
Different scenarios can lead to different ending outcomes:
Perfect Shift Ending
Achieved by following all rules perfectly, serving only legitimate customers, handling inspections correctly, and maintaining resources. This is the best possible ending.
Inspection Failure Ending
Triggered by looking at the kiosk or monitors during the 2 AM driverless car inspection. Results in immediate termination with "Unauthorized Presence" message.
Anomaly Service Ending
Caused by serving food to an anomaly or impostor customer. Multiple violations trigger inspector appearance and termination.
Meat Incident Ending
Results from not properly handling pulsing/talking meat. Failure to turn off grill and leave can lead to unstable or bad endings.
Resource Failure Ending
Caused by running out of power or critical supplies. Can result in unstable ending if you manage to survive, or bad ending if it leads to system failure.
How to Achieve Good Endings
Follow these strategies to maximize your chances of achieving a good ending:
- Memorize All Rules: Know every rule posted on the wall and follow them precisely
- Always Check Cameras: Never open the window without checking CCTV first
- Never Serve Anomalies: If in doubt, keep the window closed
- Handle Inspections Correctly: Exit back door immediately, never look at kiosk
- Respond to Meat Incidents: Turn off grill and leave when meat pulses/moans
- Manage Resources: Keep power above 60%, maintain meat buffer
- Stay Calm: Don't panic during jump scares or anomalies
- Practice: Learn from each shift to improve your performance
Ending Progression System
Some endings are numbered (e.g., "Ending 2/5"), indicating there are multiple ending variations:
- Ending 1/5: Typically the best ending (perfect shift)
- Ending 2/5: Unstable ending (survived with minor issues)
- Ending 3/5: Another variation of unstable ending
- Ending 4/5: Bad ending (termination with some survival)
- Ending 5/5: Worst ending (complete failure/elimination)
The specific ending number you receive depends on the combination of mistakes and successes during your shift. Aim for Ending 1/5 for the best outcome.
Common Mistakes Leading to Bad Endings
Avoid these mistakes to prevent bad endings:
- Rushing Without Checking: Opening window without camera check
- Ignoring Warning Signs: Dismissing suspicious customer behavior
- Inspection Carelessness: Looking at kiosk during inspection
- Rule Negligence: Forgetting or ignoring posted rules
- Panic Decisions: Making hasty choices during stressful situations
- Resource Neglect: Not monitoring power and supplies
- Overconfidence: Thinking you can handle anomalies safely
