Cages and Endings (Spoilers)

[x_equals_speed]

I'm wondering how close I've got to seeing everything so wanted to record cages and endings for them. I'll omitt "Do nothing and nothing happens" but that works for any that don't have a "Do nothing" ending.

Let me know what I'm missing!

Interactive

Attic - Photographer
Ending1: Video her taking photos, email it to the agent. Get a small reward and signed photos.
Ending2: Video her taking photos, blackmail her. Choose between: Nudes of the actress, a personal cheaffer to the grocery store or cash.
(mtpanissa points out you can also email the video of her taking photos to shock TV to get a different ending)
(MikeS points out that you can mention the attic to her on the phone in which case she gets paranoid and leaves)

Museam
Ending1: Give the club the curators phone number. He switches the bust for the derpy bust and is caught int he epilogue.

Convenience Store - Sleeing Clerk
Ending 1: Do nothing, the store is robbed three times and he closes it.
Ending 2: Phone him while someone is in front of the counter, he shoots them and they die. (mtpanissa points out you can record this and send to shock TV)
Possibly Ending 3: Calling the security firm and dobbing in the robber each night gets some cash. Does it eventually lead to an ending? Have done it 4 nights in a row with no effect

Field and Train Track
Ending 1: Send location to club. Send crop circle info to nut. Nut wins the lottery, sends you some money and is told not to visit by aliens in the epilogue.
Possible Ending 2: What happens if we send the nut to the wrong location?

Forest
Ending 1: Send location to club. Film 3 horned deer with night vision. Send that video to the hunters, they shoot the deer and send you a trophy.

Gas Station
Ending 1: Tell the militia woman, she kills the loco trucker and her group get tattoos of your chat icon. (MikeS points out that you can get the newspaper report from this ending by uploading a video to shocktv - nobody gets tattooed though)
Ending 2: Tell the truckers to turn themselves in. The police transport crashes and they escape naked onto a golf course.
Ending 3: Tell the truckers to pay you money. Get sent $20/day for the rest of the game.

Writing Basement - 4 Writers
Ending 1: Film the celebrity yelling at the writers and upload. She is disgraced, they all have no boss and leave.
Ending 2: Hire the writers (For $130) and they'll write a book for you. There are 12 possible titles to choose from. I've only tried one (which sold moderately well, sent me some money and was mentioned in the epilogue)
Possible Alternate Ending 2s: What different titles do what? The dialgoue implies opposites do well so I did happiness and sadness and made some money. Does bodily fluids and long words do something? Looks like there might be an achievement for it.
(mtpanissa points out you can use Fiona Bates name on the book which will mean you get no money but a regular job instead)

Office Cubicle - Young Woman
Ending 1: Send her alcohol twice and she dies in a car crash. Optionally you can exploit her for a bunch of money briefly before hand.

Crappy Apartment - Guy with Wierd Hair
Ending 1: Pay him $25 to help the movement, the movement succeeds and you get a decentish job you can do every day helping rebuild the neighbourhood (He asks for a second lot of money but the ending is the same whether you pay it or not)
Ending 2: Tell him about his chicken habit, he freaks out and leaves the apartment.
Ending 3: Email the club with his address, his apartment is wrecked, it's implied he's been disappeared.
Possible Ending 4: Is the chicken place supplying drugs? What are the explosive containers that go into the food? Can you get it shut down somehow?

Retirement Home - Old man with Hitler Tash.
Ending 1: Phone the dictator, tell him the past was great, he goes off to reconquer the world (But fails in the epilogue for not being right wing enough). You get his hat
Possible Ending 2: I've only had this once but presumably something else happens if you tell him the past was terrible.
(mtpanissa points out that if you say the past is terrible he leaves the country and calls you later, but it is no further effect)

Porch Outside House - Family of 4
Ending 1: Tell the sad child group about the sad child. They take him away to make him happy in what sounds like some dystopian nightmare.
Ending 2: Send the child a chemistry kit. He blows up the backyard and the epilogue says that the family either died in a toxic cloud or used it as cover to escape their legal problems.
Possible Ending 3: Is the childs desired toy randomised each game? What do the other toys do?

Betting Shop
Ending 1: Tell the club when the alarm is turned off and they break in, it closes forever.
Possible Ending 2: I can work out russian roulette happens there, bet on it, make a tonne of money using the univeristies prediciton system - but can't for the life of me get a different ending as a result. Eventually the roulette is shut down and stops taking bets but then it just sorta...keeps going.

Office - Accountant
Ending 1: Phone him, tell him to follow his dreams. He's a huge success and sends you money every three days.
Ending 2: Phone him, tell him he's being silly. He sends you his wig and gives crying advice for the rest of the game.
Ending 3: Phone him and try to blackmail him. He refuses to be blackmailed and blocks your number (Not 100% sure about this one, I did it ages ago, can't remember if it's a proper ending)

Elevator - Trapped Janitor & Mascot
Ending 1: Do nothing. He dies.
Ending 2: Tell the family where he is, refuse the lawyers bribe. He's rescued and sends you a sporting souvenier.
Possible Ending 3: I've not tried taking the bribe, presumably it's a different ending.

Living Room & Bedroom (Double Camera) - Pregnant Woman and Husband
Ending 1: Do nothing, she gives birth to the antichrist, it's in the paper.
Ending 2: Have the priest exorcise the demon. He gives a sad speech about how he only wanted to be loved. Get a daily demon hunting job, in the epilogue the exorcist gets tired of it and opens a chilli restaurant.
Ending 3: Tell the priest to exorcise the demon at the wrong time, he dies in a fire. The antichrist is still born but gets an epilogue card about how a stress free exorcist free existance leads him to punish wrongdoers and becomes a AAA games developer.

Recording Studio & Records Close Up (Double Camera) - Rockstar
Ending1: Do nothing, he kills himself.
Ending2: Send painkillers, he finishes the record, thanks you, sends you his gold record, goes home and dies.

Austere Front Room & Wealthy Back Room (Double Camera) - Old Lady
Ending 1: Tell the club when she's out. They rob her house and pay you $175
Ending 2: Turn her in to the tax man. She winds up in an asylum, you get paid. I've some question mark over this ending, I'm not sure if it's a bug because the camera showed her safe being empty and it was implied the government looted it, but in the epilogue it mentions her secret room and money were later discovered (implying they were still there)
Ending 3: Blackmail her. She's sceptical so you need to tell her you're watching her with hidden cameras. She pays the blackmail (Money or Art Item, your choice) and tears down the cameras. The club warns you this implies you are feeding the monkeys and if anyone else tears down the cameras they'll kick you out.
Possible Alternate Ending 3: Is it possible to get anyone else to tear out the cameras?

Kitchen & TV Room - Middle aged foreign lady with glasses
Ending 1: Phone her and shout sex words down the phone. She'll show up at your house and charge you $50 for a dominatrix session. She leaves her whip.
Ending 2: Phone her and shout hate words down the phone. She'll kill her brother and phone you (from prison?) and give you $175
Possible Endings 3 & 4: Presumably love words and cow words got different endings but I missed the phonecall/newspaper/whatever payoffs when I did those.
All four endings can produce the same epilogue card, the meaning of which is unclear (It's in her language)

Space Ship Exterior & Interior - Astronaught
Ending 1: Do nothing, the oxygen runs out, she dies.
Ending 2: Film her and send it to the TV show when she makes her transmission three times. Eventually they'll mount a rescue mission and get her back. The epilogue is lovely.
Possible Ending 3: I've never got anything out of her words, googling any of them in any combination, phoning her family etc. Does anything make a difference other than filming?
(Riedy points out that if you phone the son at 18:00 before she's saved you'll get an umbrella)

Planting Beds & Giant Plant - Gardeners
No endings yet found, but I only saw them briefly on my humdrum monkey run and didn't interact ;)

Minimally Interactive

Creepy Basement
A creepy toy looks at you from the darkness with glowing eyes. When you look away it changes position. Eventually its position is in front of the camera staring straight at you. The next day a newspaper article reports that a family has died, the doll is in the photo. You recieve it in the mail the next day. You can sell it for $20.
Possible Ending: On selling it I got a note from the postman saying I'd missed a delivery the next day. Possibly it comes back. Possibly something happens if you keep trying to sell it. Will experiment next time.

Noninteractive

Tire Pile
Trash trucks come and go, eventually a small fire starts. Over a day or two this intensifies to a huge fire. Eventually the screen is just fire forever.

Wind Turbine
Nothing ever happens.

Scanner
Various people and mammals are scanned. Occasionally it's revealed a person is an alien wearing some sort of man suit.

Store Front
Each day the mannequins are updated as fashion trends change. Sooner or later it goes out of buisiness and they're blank forever.

Underwater
Sooner or later someone tosses a monkey in concrete shoes in here, who sits there for the rest of the game. It seems like a Monkey Island 1 reference so I expect at some point two people stand above the water and discuss whether to throw a cutting tool in but decide not to.

Cliffside
Nothing ever happens. Though it seems like something should drive or jump off a cliff at some point.

Airport
Various planes of various sizes take off. Nothing ever lands.

Kennel
The dog sometimes seems alert and sometimes lies about. I've never caught the owner interacting with it.

Factory
Nothing ever happens. The robot arm just keeps doing cylinders forever.

Warehouse
A forklift truck occasionally comes and goes.

Shrine
People pay their respects. Someone relights the candles from time to time. Every now and again the person pretending to be the dead saint stretches their legs to do it themselves.

Laundromat
Various people come and go. They all seem dull. I'm not sure if it gets filthier over the course of the game or if the activities that do that are noticable.

Cashpoint
Various people come and go. They all seem dull. At one point I've come back to find the screen smashed but didn't see the event where someone smashed it.

Static
The static pattern changes periodically.

Highway Bridge
Cars drive under the bridge. Never seems to be anything interesting, though I wonder if on a Loco Trucker round if his crashes can occasionally be seen there.

Train Track
Very ocassionally a train passes, but the camera angle is too close to see anything.

Microwave
Sometimes people microwave food. sometimes a small child with pigtails does microwave experiments with dolls or electronics. Miraculously it still works.

Driveway
A car comes and goes.

Prison Cell
A political prisoner here is referenced in the newspapers. She starts out doing push ups and keeping herself in shape. Then she develops a black eye (offscreen) and a cut. Then the newspaper reports more deaths of political prisoners in captivity and the cage is empty from then on out. It feels like this one should've been interactive, I want to change her fate.

Archeological Dig Site
A team slowly excavates an area and unearths some sort of skeleton. This varies game to game, I've seen a dinosaur and a person with a shopping trolley.

Tower Under Construction
A tower is slowly built day by day. Eventually a newspaper article reports several floors have collapsed and it loops, going to the start of its build cycle.

Tanning Bed
A curtain sweeps in front of the bed from time to time and the person in it is changed. The people in it are always inanimate and lying in slightly unnatural positions. Possibly dead.

Chicken Coup
There are chickens. They do very little. Perhaps a fox eats them if you stare long enough, I did not.

Billboard
Words go up on the board, they often relate to stuff that's going on in the news. President Walker asks for you to vote for him because he'd vote for you if you asked.

Swinging Pendulum
It goes left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left then right then left...

Okay I'm done ;)

I'll edit the list to add more as people mention them, but I think I've seen most of the game now.

(mtpanissa points out that there exists another cage with plants and ginger guys)

[larissaneri]

Attic - you can also send the video to Shock TV and police will arrest the driver.

Convenience Store - record the clerk shooting the robber and send to Shock TV. Also, I caught three robbers with the Bikers and after that the cage closed.

4 Writers - If you use Fiona Bates' name on the title, you get no money because she gets angry, but you do get a fixed job that you can do everyday.

Retirement Home - if you tell him the past is terrible, he'll leave the country and call you and that's it.

And I think you haven't found the cage with lots of plants and lots of ginger guys yet. :)

[Caasiu]

Nice! Thanks for sharing. I wish I could do something for the girl in jail, I can't get over that for now.

[illbgreat]

@x_equals_speed: wow, you've done an outstanding work here!

Thank you for being so observant!

>>Convenience Store - Sleeing Clerk
Possibly Ending 3: Calling the security firm and dobbing in the robber each night gets some cash. Does it eventually lead to an ending? Have done it 4 nights in a row with no effect

They will pay you each time you message them about robbery.

>>Field and Train Track
Possible Ending 2: What happens if we send the nut to the wrong location?

You should try it but we warn you: it will be very harmful for Stefan…

>>Writing Basement - 4 Writers
Possible Alternate Ending 2s: What different titles do what?

Depending of the title you choose, the book will be a success or a failure, and it will make more or less money. Also you can get an achievement for one special nasty title…

>>Porch Outside House - Family of 4
Possible Ending 3: Is the childs desired toy randomised each game? What do the other toys do?

No, there is only one exact toy that the kid is dying to get.

>>Space Ship Exterior & Interior - Astronaught
Does anything make a difference other than filming?

Her wife is at meeting from 18:00 to 18:45. So you can talk with her son without being interrupted. Make sure you have the word "umbrella" written down to your notepad.

Thanks again for your interest and have fun!

[x_equals_speed]

Have added everyone's comments to the main post (and credited accordingly)

Is the Plants & Gingers one interactive? Also in the background to the forum's I see two I've not seen in game: A sun bed and a chicken coup.

@illbgreat thanks for making the game, you've done a really great job :) I've really enjoyed plumbing the game's mysteries - I'm also thankful that you decided to send out the vouchers to people who'd got Beholder. I might not have got it otherwise and I'd definitely have missed out.

[Tatra]

The plants one is interactive, yes. I haven't had an ending from it, but I have been able to phone them.

[TheOneWaaagh]

The creepy doll will keep coming back when you sell it. It comes back a little bloodier each time. I was able to sell it three times before the game ended. I don't know if it ever ends up killing you or not.

The non-interactive cage that is just static with different patterns will occasionally flash subliminal messages.

For the one with the old lady with the hidden safe, you can give the club the wrong time and they rob her when she's there. They will knock her out and she ends up in a coma.

[July7]

Thanks! This is super helpful!
>>Writing Basement - 4 Writers
The best title should be combination of happy and sad words. One of Gus's (the lead writer) 3 rules is that people like opposite words put together. I did it once and he said I chose the best possible title. It only earned me $130, though. Cause the self-help bubble has been bursted.

>>Convenience Store - Sleeing Clerk
My partner points out (by watching me play) that we could send the "happy morning" pill to the clerk and maybe that'll keep him awake. Haven't tried yet.

[Kelix]

For the gardeners with 2 cameras, you have to spot the plants "interacting" with the gardeners (not gonna spoil here), then call them with correct lyrics and the scientist will tell you what they need to kill the plant, mail them the item and I guess killing it or not is up to you. Killing it is one ending

[MS]

There are more minor endings:

Attic - you can mention attic itself and photographer will get alerted and leave.

Gas station - uploading truck video to ShockTV triggers "driver gets killed" ending.

[x_equals_speed]

I saw Gus' rules (which is why I did happy-sad) but wondered if Fluids and Complex Words were also considered opposites for this purpose?

I've tried sending him the pills but they got rejected. I also tried sending him a tv to see if he installed it and stayed awake watching but that got rejected too. Ditto for caffinated drinks. We have the address so it feels like we should be able to send SOMETHING but I've no idea what it is.

I also tried calling the bikers in and then phoning him when the biker arrives to see if the biker can talk him out of responding to being awake with murder but no dice there either.

Have uploaded Attic and Gas Station comments - skipped HKGs post because I didn't want to spoil the only room I've not yet done for myself, will read it later ;)

[JumperOriginal]

how can i hire the ghost writers?

[x_equals_speed]

Click on stuff in the room (typewriters etc) and wait for Fiona to come in and shout at them. The writer at the near left will try to talk her down during which he will mention his name is Gus - click on it to add that to your notepad. Then open the notepad and the middle bubble should have a "???" Select writers for hire. Then search Gus + Writers for hire, which should bring up a page with Gus' full name. Search for his full name to bring up a page with his phone number. Phone him (while he's at his desk but not talking to anyone - sometimes he won't answer, just keep calling till he does) and click on his name as a conversation option. This will lead to him generating a quote for hiring him - pay that amount of money and the team is yours.

[martymcfly_83]

which has the better reward? Filming Fiona or getting a book written? Thanks.

Best possible title can yield you a $200 profit, so definitely getting a book written.

[BtB]

If you get the contact information for the giant plant you can contact them and, using a little research, manage to talk to one of the people. From there you can agree to the plant's demands or send poison to kill it. I can't recall the ending card, however.
