** Ending 2: "[[spoiler:Imprisoned]]": If you beat the game with all 15 pencils and [[spoiler:less than 20 deaths]], then [[spoiler:Nicole will try to explain the supernatural events to a police officer, who is convinced she has gone insane and puts her in a cell... right next to Mr. Aaron, the killer of the girls who has gone mad himself]].
** Ending 3: "[[spoiler:Immortal]]": If you get all 15 pencils and [[spoiler:died at least 20 times]], then [[spoiler:Nicole decides she cannot take being apart from Joelle and stabs herself to be with her again... only to discover she has become immortal and [[WhoWantsToLiveForever be brought to tears]]]].

* GuideDangIt: Getting either Ending 2 or 3, depending on [[spoiler:how many times the player has died]]. You need to get all 15 pencils, which is an intuitive enough requirement, but there is an additional condition that decides which ending you get that is ''not'' hinted at- if you [[spoiler:died at least 20 times]], you are ''permanently locked'' onto Ending 3 due to [[spoiler:the game saving deaths outside of the save function]].

The other two endings, which require finding all 15 pencils, [[spoiler:have her wither WrongfullyCommitted or discovering she is immortal and crying because ehse can never be reunited with Joelle]].

The spirits at Acrylic Academy can only be seen at night, and their works can only be seen by those who are dead. [[spoiler:This is how the Collage delivers TheReveal of Joelle being DeadAllAlong- she gets Joelle to describe a painting she made that Nicole cannot see.]] In Ending 1, [[spoiler:Nicole can see Joelle's spirit but Michael cannot, so he assumes Nicole has gone mad with grief when she talks to Joelle while playing a game]].

* BittersweetEnding: All three of the endings are this. The BigBad has been brought to justice and the spirits who were victimized can move on now that their murderer is gone. [[spoiler:But Joelle Chapman died in the process and has to ascend as well, giving Nicole a tearful goodbye. Nicole then either discovers she is immortal and can never reunite with Joelle (Ending 3), tries to explain what happened to a cop but is mistaken for being insane and WrongfullyCommitted (Ending 2), or either goes insane or gets to hang out with her sister's visiting spirit, but since no one else can see her everyone thinks she's gone insane (Ending 1).]]
