Megan Stops Andrew From Shooting Himself SECRET ENDING - The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope 

This game shows how bad a traumatic event can mess with one's head.

When you realized that Anthony was adopted which means he lost all his family twice.

This ending, although not technically the "good" ending, feels like the right ending for the story to me.

I thought it was interesting how the bus was called the Ferryman, hinting that he was like the boatman carrying souls to their final place.

As a game, this is definitely one of the "worst endings", but as a part of film and storytelling, this is probably one of the most intriguing, heartbreaking, and interesting storylines out there.

For me this ending is the best ending. He has to let go of his ghost family. He has to let go and move on.

Now that I think about it, Vince ONLY talked to Andrew throughout the story. In the bar he was completely ignoring everything John said. How the hell did I not catch that!?!!?!?

I noticed that if you get the bad Megan she appears on the other shoulder and Anthony dies. Kinda like an angel on one shoulder and the devil on the other.

I love how this game is like “If you play the characters to their current personalities you will be punished” because you have to accept change

Part of me wishes that the scene fades to black as we watch Megan give Anthony a hug from behind

I love that the cop realizes the dude is crazy and just lets him drive off

This game felt so silent hill to me. A tortured man entering a ghost town, where he will face his demons. Will he successfully face them and find closure? will he run away from them? or will they finally consume the little he had left....his life?

If they wanted older Andrew to look nothing like younger Andrew, they succeeded nicely. But I guess it wouldn't have been a surprising ending if they looked alike. Great nose job, older Andrew.

Very touching. Pretty deep stuff his sister was there for him in the end. Comforting him letting him know it wasn’t his fault.

A big part of the trials and flashbacks were about Andrew trying to work out who to blame for the fire. He either blames Megan, he blames the priest for making megan evil, or he realizes it was accident and blames the doll that caught on fire on the stove. This ending is the only one that seems to bring closure to Andrew, and it's why I think it's the best one.

Bro-I was traumatized the whole time with the flashback scenes featuring the priest and Megan. Like he was clearly grooming/s*xually a**aulting her in all the timelines. Which is really fucked up because nobody knew before it was too late. And I’m sure the MC feels a lot of guilt not only because his family died but also because he never noticed what the Priest was doing to his baby sister until after.

I hate watching characters die in all games

Got this ending in my first play through, tho I was able to keep everybody alive until the final house attack...

I feel like this, to me, is the True Ending, because Everyone except Andrew needs to die in the house because Anthony needs to face the reality that they are truly gone and Burning the Doll part has significant to since whoever Andrew is with will tell him that it was not his fault and that he tried his best. Also all of them dying has a hidden meaning as well, take a look at Angela's deaths for example Andrew can witness Angela dying except for one her possible deatg in the house at the end this reflects how Anthony didn't witness his mom die in the fire as he can only witness his other family members death.

The game : just realesed Babyzone: IM SPEEDDDD

“Sorry mate wrong path” I bet you can’t guess where this is from

The twist at the end has to be the most satisfying explanation for a game ever... I loved it so much as it genuinely made me feel bad for a video game character. What a game....

This game was so depressing. Don't think I could replay it, knowing the truth.

This is touching! However, I better prefer the ending where he pictures everyone surviving yet still moves on..

Ok I wanna know what was up with Daniel and Taylor? Tanya was supposed to be dating Vence right... but Anthony was literally hallucinating them having a “secret relationship” than they kept getting up close on each other in scenes and kept saying “We can’t let them know” or something like that I think. Did they really have a secret step bro step sis relationship and Anthony somehow found out? Like wtf? If so I feel horrible for Vence!!! Dude is traumatized that his girl died but his girl could of been dating her sTePBrO as well?!?

But I think all of those bad traits are the exact traits of each family members in the 70s , and you just have to accept that Anthony, while Anthony (Andrew) trying to change but he can't, he just need to face the reality

The "its all in this guy head" ending is interesting but I prefer the witch shit that was going on over this plot twist

so that means that angela , taylor , john and daniel is just his hallucination right .. they dont even exist right?? .... and andrew himself is the bus driver actually..

Im back after a year of commenting baby! Be ready for an essay. Looking back on this game, while people didn't like the "It's all in your head" story reveal, thinking back the "it's all in your head" is more of a concept/plot narrative (idk what the right word is but it seems right) that helps explain the true story's intention. The whole story was about Anthony/Andrew needing to move on from the past, from the house fire and to his family's deaths. For me the ending where Megan stops Anthony from shooting himself is my own canon and feels like the right ending for the story, he needed the affirmation that his family's death wasn't his fault. All of the characters that Anthony made up in his head needed to die to remind him to move on from the past. Letting them live is just Anthony imagining them in a better life since back then they were a dysfunctional family and the characters he made up are basically his family members personified. However letting them live isn't all bad as that also teaches a lesson, a lesson about facing your demons. If don't face your demons at all and overcome what's barring you from facing them, they'll eventually catch up to you and you'll face whatever punishment you'll get. Sorry for the essay writing, but looking back and having taken lessons from writing, movies and therapy, this shaped my views to be a really great story in the Dark Pictures Anthology.

This the ultimate way of saying, it was all in your head.

So in the beginning of the game who TF WAS THAT MONSTER WITH LONG FINGERS NEXT TO MEGAN before she burned the house

Thats ending so sad

This made me cry like a baby but god the entire thing was so well done and did so well illustrating grief and moving on. It hurt so bad but it was just. So good.

The video starts here: 7:56 ends here 10:46 edit: Silent Hill genre. The creepy place you went to plays with your head, you either die here or have some sort of personal development. I think this and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories works somewhat the same, spoilers -> Kaufmann: Your dad wasn't a hero. Wasn't your knight in shining armor. He was a human being. You never knew him, and you never will. The dad walking around in your head isn't even a ghost. He never existed. A Frankenstein's monster, a child's fantasy! But you're alive. Your mother is alive. She's not the monster you make her out to be. You need to live your life... Cheryl.

the protagonist looks like "the actor with the eyebrows" ngl

Watched jevs play-through of it all and when the ending happened I was amazed and so lost for words. It’s also pretty sad in the sense that some people actually have to live like this, not to this extent but I’m sure there’s people who have gone through similar things like this with schizophrenia.

You know there will be no deaths since the curator doesn’t appear to witness the event

this is the best ending 100% Andrew has finally moved on from watching his whole family die and in forgiving megan is able to forgive himself for not saving everyone. If Megan saves you here it means Andrew doesn’t blame her for the death of his family, he blames it on an accident (the doll) or the evil reverend who corrupted her mind and made her kill his whole family. He can then live with the fact it wasn’t his, or Megan’s fault, and can finally start to move on from his trauma. Idk to me this just seems like the most logical and realistic ending to the story, not ending up in some diner with your imaginary friends, having not actually moved on at all and still carrying around the trauma and emotional damage

while this is actually a pretty good ending, i still preferred the ending at the diner where anthony apologises to his family and they all basically tell him that it wasn't his fault

Today if you are a witch, your just a weirdo😂

This is one of my favourite endings of all time.

So basically to get this ending... Don’t shoot at Vince but keep the gun Everyone dies along the way except John, but even he doesn’t defeat his demon in the end. Tell the priest to burn the doll. Is that it?

In the ending where everyone dies in the house, when the camera pans out, you can see The Curator aka Death standing there

Nothing but ghosts left in there... but he lives on, for Megan. For the memory of the girl whose trial was burned to an end; whose life he never got to save.

if anthony ends up killing himself you get an achievement called “no escaping fate”, imo him and the rest of them were cursed by carver(shown in the comic) doomed to keep dying over and over and he “escaped fate” by surviving the fire. the other characters were the souls of his family reincarnated again, the curator calls them souls repeatedly and if you save them he says you saved them from damnation and if they survive at the end he says they found redemption. he was led back to little hope (that’s why the fog stopped them from leaving) to either break the curse and let all of the souls move on or he ends up killing himself, starting the cycle again

I find this to be a more fitting ending, he needed to move on from the past, from their deaths and he needed the guidance to see that. He also needed to guidance to remind him that none of this was his fault. Edit: I also want to add that getting rid of the doll is also fitting seeing as that's what's caused the fire in Andrew's home in the first place. It may have been Mary's doll, but the doll itself is what caused it, it wasn't Mary's intention at all to start the fire.

This man really put 4 ads in a 10 minute video

I wonder if the person who played Anthony's face (the bus driver) played also the Stranger or the Therapist from Until Dawn. Also, I think that this ending, along with the "everyone lives" ending are the 2 best endings of the game. The neutral ones would be him getting arrested and the worst ones would be everyone dying with him killing himself.

Theres another ending everyones blatantly missing at the end when the wendigo thing has john in a headlock it says dismissive fearful I'm guessing throughout the game if u choice ur choices right u will unlock the lock symbol next to them. Everyone like so everyone sees

Andrew was always my favorite on the game

First, we were the medic all along. Now, we were the bus driver all along. Sad times.

The old anthony's gaze got me feeling empty inside

Idk man ion normally get sad or emotional over video games but it kinda hit different for the ending when his family tells him it’s ok and he said he really wishes he coulda kept Everyone alive

wait is that gally from the maze runner?

So there's only good, sad and bad endings?! Well done.

I think maybe I might be harsh for saying that, but most people here saying this is the best ending because that's would be a way of Andrew letting his inner "demons" or letting go his traumas are not thinking through that well, I think. The reason is very simple: Who's anyone to say that this is what he "needs"? Just because all of Andrew's "characters" died through the game or in the end of the game, that doesn't mean he'll now move on or forget about it. I do think that people have a tendency to think that the way of healing a traumatic experience someone has lived through is simply to put them through more traumatic experiences or to make them suffer more so they'll "forget" about it.

I want a scene where he decides to get therapy

This game rly left me feeling empty inside

because Anthony is the only family member that wasn't rude to Megan. All of their family members were being rude to her, except Anthony. I mean, like, - James and Anne were arguing about her in the bedroom. - Dennis was saying rude things to her when she stepped on his vinyl record, and when Megan talked to him when he's on the attic. - Tanya... well, she acted like a good person in the dialogue. But, if you find her diary on the upper bedroom on the prologue, you'll find out that she didn't like Megan at all. - And Megan, she said "They don't care. They're not interested. They don't see me. To them, I'm invisible. They don't notice me at all." when Tanya were in the upper bedroom. It proves that she is mentally pressured by how they treated her. And you can find her drawing on the wall in the 'ruined house' in the exact same sentence. Anthony is the only one who never said bad things about her. Instead, he defended her. And, that makes him the only person that she cares about. She hated her family, yes, but she made exception for Anthony, like, she condemn them all except him. So that's why Anthony got locked out of the house when the house was burning, and didn't die even though he was running right into the house. And now, she stops him from suicide because she cares about him and wants him to live without putting all the blame to himself. For me, this is the best ending.

That was the biggest twist ending for me i really wish it wasn't all in Anthony's head i wish they were all real because now I feel like all the stuff we did saving everyone didn't matter in the end

He attempted his family funeral with handcuffs and a policeman with him, he had no one to be with him. Darn

I'm not crying.... I'm good.....

Her expression on the thumbnail is amazing 😂

Lmao the guy in the Town it wss " hey buddy why are u playing around with that gun? You look like crazy" 😂😂

Really don’t like it when they pull the whole “it’s just a hallucination” thing

4:56 this is actually more scary

Andrew: I can't go on anymore Megan: Pathetic...

Is Megan just part of his hallucination again?

Also, i do think this is the best ending for the game, simply because of the fact that one of the pictures/secrets foretold he would be holding the gun to himself, and the secrets usually gave the best or preferable outcome to a situation

Say what you want about the ridiculousness of the twist, but it was damn depressing. The fact that there are actual people like this that suffer from survivor's guilt and something else. Though I would've preferred if the other characters were actually real, except that his hallucination made them look like his family, as little sense as that makes.

Four ads for a ten minute video, really killed the mood lol

How do you get this ending I remember she jump scared to where he shoots himself.

I read the entire game as him working out the trauma of the fire in his head through a story and the party (as him, really) finding her innocent at the trial is him finally accepting that the fire was just an accident and Megan was never malicious at all. He finally made his peace with her.

He only wanted to call Orpheus, smh.

My only complaint is I wanted the Reverend abusing Anthony’s little sister to get some comeuppance as well.

What even is this games plot? Is the bus driver just remembering this entire thing from the POV of the kid?

I feel like this ending is giving true end kinda vibe. While when everyone survive and he forgive himself is the good end kinda thing.

I like to think that Megan's 2020 version is actually real and stopped Anthony from killing himself, it might be a stupid headcanon but idc

I love how you edited it so Andrew is there and not Anthony. Because then it'll Spoil the Twist. Good move on that one.

I don't know anything about this game, but I do live near Salem, MA. My friend is an Anthropologist. She was working at the Witch House near Halloween while working on excavating where the Gallows may have been in Salem during the Witch Trials. I guess pretty much all the homes in Salem had poppets hidden in them somewhere, and she showed me one that was found in the walls of the Witch House. Very interesting.

It’s clear that it’s hearing the name of little hope from the cop at the beginning that activated Andrew’s hallucinations, but then why was he driving the bus without passengers at the first place ?

Wait so who was the shadow behind Meghan before she burnt the house down and is Vince just a resident of old hope who was at the funeral of his family cause those 2 things confuse me

Can anyone see the curator in the background anywhere? Apparently his in the back ground when Andrew is contemplating suicide or when his kneeling Infront of his house

There is two first there could only be one

One thing I don’t understand is what did the whole Salem has to do with a guy facing his demons wanting forgiveness!?

How do you get secret ending?

Oh! Interesting. Didn't see that coming, expected some kind of "you saved me, I'll save you" deal. Honestly, I like it, it's a good twist!

I'm starting to think there won't be monsters in any part of the anthology. In a sense the biggest scariest monster is the human brain. It seemed like the message in man of Medan an it seems that way here as well. Just my thoughts though.

each of those events from all of those times happened and they all effected each other.

I believe that this one might be the true ending. I don't know, it feels like this has to be it.

Thanks BabyZone. You never fail me

Hopefully the next game won’t be “things aren’t what they seem.” Man of Medan and now this one, I hope we actually get to fend off against real monsters. But it seems the next one might have to do with PTSD

Good ending? bad ending? whatever, I personally like to believe this is the true ending. How it’s suppose to be.

So, what's the Moon and Sun thing? We know that Tanya and Vince had necklaces related to this. But it did not lead us to anything..

This is the real true ending how it really ends

The main characters couldn’t “find a way out of the town”, because it was all in his head and he couldn’t “get out of his own head”.

Gally from Maze runner?

Find the bus driver. First bloody thing he tells us.. I AM THE BUS DRIVER!

Little Hope is by far my favorite... The plot twist and its subject are incredible

Eventually he could never save his family, he could only save himself. I preferred the diner ending when he chooses to forgive and live with himself despite everything he went through. It is such a good story of how in the end, we must all live with the decisions we have made to get us to this point. What if he didnt light the kettle in the first place? There is always a ‘what if’ element in life, there games always highlight that perfectly … 🥺
