Better Endings?
Has anyone succeeded at keeping the drive, not melding with Anele, and Kaizen not killing themselves? I'm not asking for instructions, just wanna know if it's possible before I replay this ad-nauseum. Actually, let me know if being a ♥♥♥♥ is the answer, or something equally counterintuitive, but yeah.

I don't think you can keep the drive, but there is a better ending (destroying the drive, not merging, and not being killed). I know it is the best ending because it is the only ending for which you CANNOT skip the credits.

SPOILER:

If you don't merge, and you choose also to not destroy the drive, Kaizen just give up, says something about beign too old for this ♥♥♥♥ (literally, lol) and then he gives control of the ship to you, and just shuts down, while singing "hey Judy".
I recorded that ending, you can see it here:

Yeah it's funny because you can also get this same ending after you've destroyed the drive. Except the gravity on the ship is messed up. I think you just have to be mean to him the whole game and he just won't take you to Earth.

I wish. I was nice the whole time and said "♥♥♥♥" once. I believe it was when the window was cracking and Kaizen was like "remember when you said '♥♥♥♥' that's why I can't take you home" lmao

Guys, i just found 4th ending (maybe). I didnt destroy the Drive, and Kaizen return me to the Earth :DD
Whole game i was very friendly with Kaizen, when Anele apeared i just said "no", then "i don't want to die" and she flyes away. Next dialogs i captured in video.

oh wow thank you for this! even though it sounds bizarre, since Kaizen has been hellbent on destroying that damn drive

I'm not sure what to make of Anele. is she alive? she's even less helpful than Kaizen.
I don't really understand why she killed Nandi too. :/

That's the ending I got too. Got it on my first try. I kept insisting Kaizen explain why the drive was dangerous and he wouldn't, then did the same "Enough talk, let's go home." and I was very confused.
I have to replay the whole game now, since I thought that the address that the AI gave to me, was how to START the drive, and the game saves over all progress once the drive blows.
Even if you save the drive, Kaizen will shut down all the energy systems on the ship. That just means that you'll freeze to death in the dark, getting nowhere. It's another death.
If you save the drive, and then merge, then MAYBE you could get to Earth, but you'd still be physically dead.
...so all endings are bad endings. They all lead to death, through merging, starvation, or freezing to death (WHILE starving).

Or you get the one I got, where you don't disable the drive and Kaizen just says, "enough talking, let's just go home" and takes you to Earth. So, player alive and drive intact. Just saying.

I've never seen that happen ever. He keeps on insisting that you destroy the drive. What did you tell him then? He's going to get disappointed if you don't do it, and then shut off.

Someone in this very thread posted a video of their playthrough where they got it. What they said was a little different than me, but Kaizen said the same thing. It's definitley possible.

I destroyed the Drive, and Anele appeared, I kept swearing at her, first "Shut up, Anele", then "How about this: go ♥♥♥♥ yourself", and after that "...", and then finally "This ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ has no sense of humor". When she told me to merge I said "no" twice. She finally left, Kaizen regained control and asked me if I was hurt. I replied with "No, are you okay?", then "Can we go home?" and finally "Thank you." and then I got a nice cutscene seeing the Nautilus fly from Jupiter's orbit, headed for Earth.

For this to happen, you need to be super nice to Kaizen. You need to be polite, you CANNOT swear at him, and if you can, thank him after he does something for you. This usually only works if you destroy the Drive (usually, Kaizen won't return you to Earth unless you destroy the Drive, mostly a bug, as Kaizen is only coded to do things it's coded to do, and I guess it's only coded to see how many sentences you typed)

There are four endings in this game:

The first ending is achieved when the player allows Kaizen to destroy the Singularity Drive. The player will then engage in a conversation with Anele Johnson's consciousness via computer; she is angry at the player and explains that in order to save humanity, the player must upload his/her consciousness into the computer so as to overpower Kaizen. If the player agrees to this, the player-character is killed and their consciousness uploaded into the computer. Within the computer system, they are told by Anele's consciousness that Kurt, the President of ITS, convinced Kaizen to lie about the Singularity Drive. She also explains that destroying the Drive will mean that humans will never develop advanced colonies. After going through all the doors, Anele asks the player if they want to go home and the final door will open and Earth can be seen in the distance before the credits roll.

The second ending is achieved if the player refuses to upload their consciousness. If the player has mistreated Kaizen, he will reply that he is "too old for this" and will delete his memory from the Nautilus's mainframe and hand over control to the player. A cutscene will play out showing the current state of each room the player previously explored before the credits roll.

The third ending is achieved if the player refuses to upload their consciousness but treated Kaizen kindly enough, he will remember events during their time speaking before he launches the emergency boosters and tells the player: "Let's go home." A cut scene will play with the Nautilus steadily moving towards the Earth before the credits roll.

Although the game has three endings, a fourth ending can be achieved if the player refuses to destroy the Singularity Drive, refuses to upload their consciousness, and has treated Kaizen kindly throughout the game. After questioning the player's trust, Kaizen can be convinced to send the Nautilus to Earth even though the player didn't destroy the drive. The same cutscene as the third ending will play before the credits. The fourth ending is actually due to a bug in the game and was labeled as a "secret ending".
