Endings Choices *SPOILERS*

[Captain Serious]

How many endings does this game have, and what affects which ending you get?

Example after defeating Egor, you have 4 choices - Toss Egor, toss Alexander, toss the book, or toss yourself into the fires. Do these choices change anything for the ending?

[arenius89]

These are not endings. The game has 3 endings: "good", "bad" and "extremly bad". They depends on amount of sins and player's final choice. Choices you ask about do not change the game's endings directly, but clarify details. Does Egor suvrive? Does he repent or does he continue to study witchcraft? Does Alexander survive? Does he become a scientist or does he become a medic? E.t.c., e.t.c.

How does the game end with the "good", "bad", and "extremely bad" endings?

[arenius89]

"Good": Vasilisa meets her beloved one;
"Bad": she serves Hell;
"Extremly bad": she claims the throne of Hell

[Azazrael]

I got an ending where she essentially ended up alone and during the epilogue, the narrator said that she "disappeared" ... is this the "bad" ending? I got this ending from defeating Satan, rejecting the throne of Hell, and wishing to be returned back to the mortal realm

I suppose I need less than 130 sins to get the "meet the beloved one" option during the Lord of Hell scene where you make the wish?

[arenius89]

Yes, it is. Good ending is avaliable with <130 sins, extremly bad with >130 sins, bad is avaliable anyway

[Azazrael]

Just got the good ending. It wasn't what I was expecting to happen but... I suppose there are no truly happy endings to Slavic fairy tales. However, it was my favorite ending out of the three and most likely the intended ending for the story

[arenius89]

I'm not a ethnography specialist, but I don't find something specifically Slavic is in this story. Except of decoration, of course. It seems to be very Christian story in Slavic decorations.
In terms of Christianity, witches, warlocks and other sinners has no good ending. But in the "good ending" repentant Vasilisa - a witch, a warlock, a sinner - gets forgiveness she doesn't deserve. And in terms of Christianiry, that mercy that grace is the best ending ever.

[The Purple Pantywaist]

I think I got the good ending (got the achievement righteous, and during the credits there was a couple sitting unter a tree), however the narrator tells, that Vasilisa disappeared - or does he always says that?

(I had 0 sins, and burned the book).

[arenius89]

Yes, she disappeared. She shall never return to living ones, no matter the anding.
It's not a story of Beren and Luthien, who returned from the halls of Mandos. In a good ending Vasilisa - a witch, a sinner - deserves not Light, but Rest. She and her beloved one take their quiet place. Absolutly Christian story.

[Myth Alric]

I don't remember if it says she disappears or not, but I know in the good ending it shows her with her lover. Also it looks like the land of living to me.
