THIS IS SALVATION
  • In the director's cut, on random chance, the midpoint block at the beginning will send you to a few secret areas:
    • A reversed coloured area where everything that was black is red, and vice versa. The text above, using Dr. Andre's font, reads "HUMANITY IS DOOMED", "THIS IS SALVATION! NOT LUST...", "NORMA, BRING BACK HUMANITY!", and "HE WILL END US". When all the Jinker Bolts sprites come into play, the level ends.
    • An area where souls/ghosts rise from the pits of a wishing well, with Dr. Andre talking to the relic saying "I AM SO SORRY NORMA..." The room ends just after Jinker Bolts appears, confirming that maybe these dead souls are the lifeforms Jinker Bolts has ended.
    • A hallway with W. D. Gaster (the top), Uboa (the right), and another unknown entity (the left). After a moment, Wingdings text appear which says "YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE COME" in all capital letters.
  • Entering the door you spawn in front of in the beginning of the cave area results in a three-headed-horse appearing on the side of the screen.
  • The Jump Scare during ending Z.
  • On July 22nd 2021, the final update of ALPHA SPHERE drops containing a few noteworthy fixes and also a brand new ending (simply called "Ending 2"). This ending is achieved by simply running out of time. Once you do that, you're teleported back to Doctor Andre's House, this time with the door open. Once entered, Norma is found in an eerily similar room as the screen from Ending Z. If you try to escape, Doctor Andre blocks the way and sends Norma backwards. The screen blackens out. Music comes in, and not moments later a digitized image of a kid greets us. "Dad? Why does mom hate me?" they ask. If you press B, the kid will come closer and yell "I LOVE YOU MOMMY." Press B again, and the kid will come even closer, this time the text scrolling upwards and shaking left and right rapidly saying "WHY DID YOU DIE MOMMY?" Press B one last time, and the image gets layered just before you get the event that reveals a number 2 on the overworld. Judging by the context this ending shows, it seems like if Norma waits until morning, she will be deflowered by Doctor Andre and have a child together, as he wanted. However, Norma dies, leaving their child to ask their dad why she's dead. This ending, unsurprisingly, gave a lot of people pause. Not just because of the fact a "2" is teased, but also because of the context displayed to the player. It is, without a doubt, the darkest of the five endings.
