[SPOILERS] Do you think Andy and Leyley will have a happy ending?

[Kappa Omicron]

I...don't think so.

Regardless of the route you're on, the entire story is a massive train wreck that you just can't look away from.

1. They are eating people. Started out as desperation, yes, but not when they ate their parents.
   
   
2. They are murdering people.
   
   
3. They have an unknown enemy who went as far as sending a hitman after them. Whether they will send another or come back after them remains to be seen.
   
   
4. They are legally classed as being dead. Which will make it much harder to work and live in society.
   
   
5. And to top it all off, they are dealing with demons. Nothing ever truly good comes from making deals with demons. Even the loopholes that are often found in getting around them in similar stories involving deals with devils all contain a lot of pain and suffering.

Arguably, Ashley is the root cause of all the messed up things that happens. She's clearly a psychopath with little to no remorse and is perfectly fine with killing people. But Andrew is not much better, he seems to show a lot more emotion and remorse than Leyley, but as this messed up story continues, he is becoming more and more apathetic to all of the terrible things they continue to do.

Regardless of how they were treated, nothing excuses all of the horrible things they've done, and even if you play the game down its least messed up route, it's still quite messed up.

I just don't see them coming out of this story outside of a coffin. And I think the name of the game is the biggest clue on that:

The Coffin of Andy and Leyley.

Sure, they make the mention of the apartment they're trapped in as being a coffin in the beginning of the story, but I think the title of the game has more meaning to it than that.

I really love this twisted story and seeing the characters interact and continue going down this train wreck of a story. I just can't look away.

I both like the characters, feel sorry for the characters and also dislike the characters and feel disgusted by the characters. It's a beautiful mess.

When I really think about it though, I personally don't think they deserve a happy ending. They've just gone too far down a dark path, and you can't really blame them.

A tragedy feels the most fitting for this story in my opinion.

But I can also see the story coming to an end by "killing" Andy and Leyley and living as Andrew and Ashley, since they've made several comments differentiating that. But with all the things they've done... I don't know if I agree with that or not.

[Sabaithal]

Best bet is they both end up turned into demons somehow. Where Ashley annoys the ♥♥♥♥ out of Andrew for eternity.

[SolidPayne]

I'd like to point out that the title specifically refers to them burying their childhood hence Coffin of Andy and Leyley not Coffin of Andrew and Ashley. That doesn't necessarily mean Andrew and Ashley will die but more so in Andrew's mind Andy and Leyley died

either way, it won't be a simple black and white, good or bad ending. There will be complications. I'm thinking something like Spec Ops The Line where there are no real good endings just some are better than others or maybe Cyberpunk 2077 where maybe V lives but loses everything or maybe V dies but Johnny gets a second chance at life but there are no true happy endings in those games. I'd imagine TCOAAL will do something similar

[Dank Man]

The pregnancy ending will be the good ending

[Disco Rat]

I do think it will have a good ending, know why? because love always wins

[deteringwilliam]

Andrew's neighbor in the decay route: "do you feel like a hero yet?"

[Toshirou_Saejima]

I once imagined a joke "happy" ending featuring the two of them occupying a trailer park in Hell, complete with the dozens of children, inexplicable faux-Southern accents, and all the other attendant stereotypes. Something akin to the Dog ending or UFO endings of Silent Hill with a wink and a nod to the player, like, "Hey, you wanted this..."

Beyond that, no.

Move over Saddam, the Graves siblings are Satan's new beau now.

[KawaiiMakotoKun]

I have mixed feelings about the ending. However, I do have wishful thinking for the burial and sane route to be a happy ending. Logically based on the game's whole plot, the ending of this route might just be Andrew accepting Ashley's antics and being her partner in crime or some things might change since Ashley seems bothered by Andrew being okay with killing people. Maybe it would turn out to be a redemption arc for both of them. I am not sure about this redemption theory because I think most likely in the story, this is less likely to happen considering Andrew and Ashley's true nature implied by the demon.

At the new Update from today, you are seeing how the mother calls the hitman on andrew (Minute 3:00 ) so i think the hitmans arent bothering anymore

[ThatOneWriter]

I'm just afraid the devs will pander and give them a completely happy ending despite all the murder, cannibalism, codependency, trauma, and mental issues that would all interfere with any attempt at a normal life (or as normal as incestuous siblings could have). Ashley has pursued her clinginess to Andrew at all costs, so she'll never turn away from that pursuit, but we know Andrew reaches a breaking point in at least one path, so the endings can probably be summarized as them either surviving together, falling together, or a desperate bid at self-preservation after Andrew turns away.

[Big_Papa]

i feel like 4 and 5 make more sense for where they can go in the end.
