[SPOILERS] Which ending did you choose your first playthrough?

[allstarsports10]

I chose for Niko to go home. I had become wayyy too attached for her to not get a happy ending. I'm just curious to see what other people did.

I sent Niko home for my first run.

[DaimeneX]

On my VERY first run back in 2014 I sent Niko home. That was the Original game.
On my first run of the remake a week ago I sent Niko home AGAIN.

I just like the kid. Okay? I also felt like letting the go die instantly instead of a slow death that would take Niko too.

[Enonigmus]

Huh, interesting... When I played the old Oneshot for the first time, I saved the world. Also a few friends whom I showed the game did the same thing.

But I eventually found the way to reset it (the old Oneshot was TRUELY oneshot.)
So I knew how the ending was when Niko went home. And I actually liked that ending more.

And I also found the "Bad ending". (Spoiler ahead, maybe?)
So, in the origianal, you could only exit the game, by letting Niko sleep (he could sleep in the same bed more times). If you closed the game, you "killed" Niko. Now, the Oneshot I played was the latest (higher version number, and didn't change since then). And if Niko died, you had to do everything from the beginning. And Niko woke up with a sudden sense of deja vu.
BUT...
Messing around, I found that ending where Niko died. I don't know if it was in the first version, and it was just modified later (because, well, it sucks if it really happens. And you didn't really know until you closed the game so it didn't matter much), or the devs already changed their mind before releasing.
Basicly, in the main screen there was Niko's scarf and Hat lying around, with a shattered light bulb in the title, and when you clicked Start, the game showed the picture of the room Niko woked up in, even more abandoned, and ruined than it was already. Also this is where I found in-game the tracks "MyBurdenIsDead" and "SomePlaceIDontKnow".
When I closed the window (couldn't do anything), a little pop-up window said:
,,You killed Niko." {<--- maybe it was meant when you closed the game in-game?}
And after relauch, the game reseted itself. I guess because that ending was not intended to happen in the first place.

[Enonigmus]

Also, this new Oneshot still has MyBurdenIsDead in it's files but not SomePlaceIDontKnow. But the OST lacks My Burden Is Dead, so I guess it was just forgot there.

On the first run, after a lot of thinking, I returned the sun in hopes of her returning home

After it became apparent that she couldn't have made it back, I restarted immediately and guided her home on the next 5 consecutive playthroughs. Now Niko is like a daughter to me

i dont wanna sound like that guy but the game tells you multiple times that shattering the lightbulb/sun will save niko, not shattering it basically makes sure she isnt saved

[RavageWaffle]

Return home.

[(Edgy) Asriel Dreemurr]

I sent Niko home.

[drWoof]

sent him home



took me a good five minutes to decide

[Koalify756]

My first playthrough...I sent Niko home. The weight on Niko between saving the world and not able to go home was too much for him/her to bare so I did what was best for him/her.

I thought it through carefully for about four minutes and I just had to do it.

[The_Almighty_Derp]

sent her home. sat there for 10 minutes with my head on the desk. i even thought that the pages were from the world machine since they too eventually agreed destroying the bulb was better.

[Sanctuary 🏳️‍⚧]

I sat there, for so long thinking about it, and after some tearshed I chose to save Niko, I had become too attached to not do so
