Hotline Miami: How Many Ways Can You Walk Away a Bloody Mess?
So you've carved your way through Hotline Miami, a technicolor ballet of violence where the music's bumpin' and the body count's skyrocketing. But as you stand amidst the carnage, phone clutched in your sweaty hand, a new question arises: just how many endings are there? Buckle up, mask on, because this answer's about as straightforward as a chainsaw to the face.
The Official Ending: A Symphony of Sirens
The first ending is a classic closer. You brawl with some mysterious figures, sirens wail, and...well, that's about it. It's stylish, sure, but leaves you with more questions than answers. Is Jacket, our murderous protagonist, hallucinating? Did those flamingos mean something? This is where things get interesting.
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
The "Wait, There's More?" Ending: Janitors Know Everything
Those chatty janitors you keep bumping into throughout the game? Turns out they might hold the key. By collecting hidden letters throughout the levels (because who doesn't love a good scavenger hunt during a murder spree?), you unlock a secret message. Crack the code and whoa, there's a whole new scene! It sheds some light on the conspiracy pulling Jacket's strings, but leaves plenty of room for interpretation.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.

So How Many Endings Are There, Really?
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
Technically, two. But Hotline Miami isn't exactly known for clear-cut answers. The beauty lies in the ambiguity. Is the secret ending the "true" ending? Is it all in Jacket's messed-up head? The game thrives on this uncertainty, leaving you to puzzle over the story long after the credits roll.

Hotline Miami FAQ: The Art of the Ending
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
How to Get the Secret Ending: Gotta collect those hidden letters, my friend! They're scattered throughout the levels, disguised as shiny purple gems. Keep your eyes peeled!
How Long Does it Take to Get All the Endings?: The base game ending is automatic. The secret one depends on your eagle-eyedness for those purple gems. It shouldn't take too long for a completionist on the hunt!
How Do I Know if I Got All the Letters?: Check the pause menu! There should be a "puzzle" option where you can arrange the letters you've found.
Is the Secret Ending Better?: Entirely subjective! Some prefer the cryptic nature of the first ending, while others dig the extra lore of the secret one.
Should I Replay the Game for the Other Ending?: Why not? Hotline Miami's a wild ride, and a new perspective might just blow your mind (or what's left of it after all that violence).
