How to Get the True Ending in Until Then

To unlock the true ending (also called the “third ending”) in Until Then , you simply need to keep playing after the first and second endings and finish the third act/timeline. There are no special “wrong” or “right” choices you must make; the game is essentially linear and guides you through all three endings automatically if you don’t stop after the credits.

Quick Step-by-Step

1. Play through Act 1 (first timeline)
   • Follow the story normally.
   • At the end, you’ll see the first ending and credits.

2. Do NOT stop after the first credits
   • The game continues into Act 2 (second timeline).
   • Some dialogue choices are remembered, but they don’t branch you off a different path.

3. Finish Act 2 (second timeline)
   • This leads to the bad ending (sometimes called the “second ending”).

 * Again, watch the credits fully, then continue.

4. Play through Act 3 (third timeline)
   • This is the final act.
   • Completing it gives you the true ending.

In short:
First ending → continue → second/bad ending → continue → true ending.
No hidden conditions, just finish all three acts.

What Makes the True Ending Special?

The true ending is the third loop of the story, where Mark and Nicole’s promise—to meet again in whatever new reality exists—comes full circle.

At the very end, there’s a cafe scene where:

• Mark and Nicole are each with different dates.
• Mark looks at the waiter, and the scene leaves the final moment open to your interpretation.

Many players describe it as:

• A good ending in terms of emotional resolution: “Everybody becomes happy, though Mark and Nicole come to this state…”.

• A twist-heavy conclusion that some find ambiguous or emotionally complex: “It was the biggest plot twist yet I’m neither happy or upset about it”.

Common Questions

Do I need to make specific choices?

• No. The narrative is structured as Acts and chapters , not branching paths.

• Some choices are remembered, but they don’t change which ending you get; you’ll reach all three if you keep playing.

Should I watch the full credits?

• Yes, at least for the first ending.
• The game’s advice is: “Just remember to watch the credits all the way to the end the first time” so you understand that it continues rather than stops.

How many playthroughs is that?

• Technically, it’s one continuous playthrough with three acts, not three separate “new game” runs.
• Some forums phrase it as “three playthroughs” because each act feels like a full loop, but you don’t need to manually restart the game.

Forum and Community Discussion

If you want to see how others interpret the ending:

• PSNProfiles users explain that you need “three playthroughs” to get the three endings because each builds on the previous.

• Steam threads discuss the ambiguity of the true ending, with many focusing on the cafe scene and what the waiter’s identity might mean.

• Reddit users confirm that the game is linear and that you naturally see all endings if you continue after the credits.

• YouTube videos label the endings clearly as First, Bad, and True , with timestamps for each.
