Some kind of a 'True'/Very hidden ending? Spoilers!, i guess.
I got 'Strange' ending, going 'somewhere' with the three-head princess in the end and other variations of it with normal head. I also got both her taking over the universe and the MC killing her and taking over. Is there some kind of a true ending/other ending, or this is it in terms of ways to finish the game the 'normal' way? Not talking about endings like 'Go kill her immidiately and you win' type.

There are six endings possible:

1 Easiest one, take the knife and kill her first cycle, you get the "happy ending"

2 Avoid going to the cabin five or six times in a row so you'll get swallowed by the hands. Eventually they give up on you. Also works in some routes when you reach the second chapter and decide to say "screw that", however won't work if you already brought some vessels to the Final Princess

3 Join the Final Princess in the creation of a new world after doing six cycles

4 Decide to "slay the princess" at the end when confronted by the Final Princess, and go through with it by taking a knife and killing the princess. There are three variations, depending on if you avoided going to the cabin in your first cycle, if you took a knife first run, or didn't take a knife first run. After that, two variations, either you're in a good relationship with the voices if you said nothing mean to them and you lead the new world with them, or in a bad one where you said they would be dead after you check the mirror after each cycle and they take over

5 Decide to "slay the princess" at the end when confronted by the Final Princess, take the knife and decide to restart everything. Again, three variations.

6 Decide to "slay the princess" at the end when confronted by the Final Princess, but don't take the knife. Still three variations, but this time you manage to save the Princess and actually live on without anyone telling you what to do nor having to create a world, possibly the "true" ending.

Its very much one of those "you pick ending you think is most satisfying ending to this story" type games rather than there being one clear "okay yeah, this is it".

Though I think the variant where you Meet with the Stranger princess in cabin and don't take knife with you is rather beautiful one due her insight on you breaking the script of construct hard. (I also find it funny apparently folks go to cabin with "slay the princess" option rather than the "I refuse to choose between these two options" option xD )

you forgot the ending where the voice of the hero brings you to the center and you meet the princess in the cabin one final time and leave together, leaving behind your godhood

This sounds like #6 to me, but I could be missing something or confusing things. I think I got #6, but I did *not* say that I was going to slay the collector princess, so I believe that detail was not necessary here.
