So You Think You've Seen Detroit: Become Human? Buckle Up, Buttercup!
Ah, Detroit: Become Human. A game that'll leave you questioning your toaster's existential dread and wondering if maybe you should've been nicer to that Roomba. But let's face it, the real mind-bender is the ending. We're talking choose-your-own-adventure on steroids, with more twists and turns than a Coney Island hot dog. So, how many endings are we talking about here?
Hold onto your cybernetic horses, because this is about to get wilder than a Markus-led robot mosh pit.
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.

The Official Tally: Numbers Don't Lie (But They Might Confuse You)
If you're the kind of person who needs a concrete number, here's the deal: Detroit: Become Human boasts a whopping 85 potential endings. That's right, 85! Enough to make your flowchart look like a plate of spaghetti after a particularly enthusiastic toddler feeding frenzy. -
But Wait, There's More! (Because Really, There Always Is)
Now, some folks might argue that 85 is a bit of an exaggeration. They say some endings are just minor variations on a theme, like whether Kara gets her hair wet on the bus (spoiler alert: it doesn't impact the android revolution, folks). So, if we're talking truly distinct endings, the number dips closer to around 40. Still enough to keep you replaying for weeks, right? -
The Beauty (and Frustration) of Choice
The real magic of Detroit: Become Human is that your choices, big and small, truly impact the narrative. Literally every decision you make - from whether to be nice to the creepy android at the bus stop to how you handle that hostage situation - can ripple outwards and change the entire course of the story. Which means you might have to become a master negotiator just to get Kara and Alice to Canada (and seriously, who knew negotiating with border guards would be this stressful?).
So, how do you navigate this labyrinth of endings? Here are some handy FAQs to get you started:
QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.

How to Get the "Good" Ending?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer, but generally, focus on keeping your characters alive (because, hello, who wants a downer ending?), make choices that promote peace and understanding between humans and androids, and maybe brush up on your negotiation skills.
Tip: Summarize each section in your own words.
How to Get the "Bad" Ending?
Well, the opposite of the above! Make some truly terrible choices, alienate everyone you meet, and watch the world burn (metaphorically, hopefully).
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
How to See All the Endings?
This, my friend, requires dedication and a whole lot of patience. Be prepared to replay chapters, make different choices, and probably shed a few tears along the way (looking at you, Markus!).
How Long Does it Take to See All the Endings?
That depends on your tolerance for frustration and reruns of "The Hostage." But seriously, it could take dozens of hours.
How Do I Know I've Seen Them All?
Honestly? You probably won't. Unless you have the memory of a supercomputer (which, you know, some of the characters in the game do), there's a good chance you'll miss a few hidden endings. But hey, that's just an excuse to revisit this incredible game, right?
