How to move on to a new ending.

[kaliman]

OK, I ended with the "prison" ending. Then I came back to the menu with the new choice, "Change your fate." I started there, but it seemed to put me back at the point where Chapter 5 ends, and I simply don't have a necessary artefact to get a different result. Then I tried "Restart chapter," but now there is no opportunity to "change your fate." So, do I have to start the whole damn thing over?

You need to explore hub world, find and solve puzzles. If you don't encounter some bug, then in the end you can do any of the four endings. No need to replay whole game or those worlds.

It puts you back in the pedistal room. You can (must) expore the mansion again and find the two artifacts that sit on the pedistals next to the projector system (one with a square base and one with a square with a corner cut off).
Note that some of the stuff you will find was NOT there the first time you went through the rooms, so you have to explore again. I eneded up having to use an online hint guide to get the second artifict, I simply would not have noticed a couple of the things I needed to get it.

Thank you both for your replies. However after pressing "Restart chapter," the game appears to have restarted AFTER chapter 5. I am in the isolated tower where I seem to have limited choices and no way out, and I don't have the correct "artefacts" to place on the model towers. Is there a way to ditch this and go back to the beginning of an earlier chapter? I presume chapter 5 would be the place to go.

You won't get anything from return to chapter back. On the contrary, the more chapters you complete, the more things you can find/solve in the main building.
If you need help describe what items you have and what you found but could not solve.

Not sure exactly where you are.

After you finish the projector and go through the last door you are taken to the first ending.

If then you take the change your fate option, it puts you back in the mansion at the pedistal where you were colleting the Null Shards.
From here you can explore the mansion again and find the two remaining artifacts.

If you (like I) thought you had to go back to the projector room and are now there, you have to just complete that same ending again. No biggie but you have go through the entire thing again (and again, and again for the different endings).

Click on the change your fate again and it will take you back to the pedistal room again (and again, it gets monotonous) - where you can start exploring.

Be more specific on what room you are in, what you see, inventory items, if you still need help.

Thank you for your reply. I see no way to go back to the main building. I completed 5 chapters. Then I was in an end chapter and ended up at the top of the tower with no way out other than the "prison" ending. The only item in inventory was the screwdriver. I quit the game and the next time I started, I was able to use "Change your fate." However I seem to have screwed that up because I eventually wound up in the tower again with no options and still only the screwdriver in inventory.

I will take your advice, Xantam, and complete the bad ending again and see whether I can then "Change my fate," again and start farther back.

[Melanie]

Sounds like you did exactly what I did. Just finish that ending exactly like you did before, then it should give you the option to change your fate again. This time, DON'T go through the door with the dust/air being sucked into it - that takes you back to the projector room. Instead explore the mansion again.

[kaliman]

Aha! So far so good. Back in the house, and I have found something behind a loose brick. Now I'll move carefully around the house until I find some more artefacts.

I completed Imprisoned and started the next ending. I collected all the necessary artifacts, but when I went through the portal two of the required artifacts disappeared. I am now stuck in the final tower room, but I don't have the necessary artifact for the tower to get to the mirror in the cage, so I can't even complete the Imprisoned ending. The pillars are back under the table. What do I do now?
