Description: The soup order is only one of three points. Use the developer's scoring rules to reach every finale without confusing the extra True End scene with a sixth ending.
There are five endings in Drippy Date. Spinaché can award three points: with 2–3 points, the final choices are “Eat her” and “Refuse”; with 0–1, they are “Attack her” and “Stay calm.” Leaving the restaurant after receiving your appetizer triggers “Coward.” independently. These are the developer's March 10, 2026 walkthrough conditions. Full ending spoilers follow.
All endings: conditions and actions (spoilers)
| Ending | Requirement and input order | Result | Evidence | Version | Spoilers |

| Coward. | Receive appetizer → leave restaurant | Coward. | Developer guide | Mar 10 guide; v1.5 not replay-tested | ⚠ |
| Good Soup | Reach 2–3 points → “Eat her” | Good Soup | Developer guide | Same | ⚠ |
| Soup Friend :) | Reach 2–3 points → “Refuse” | Soup Friend :) | Developer guide | Same | ⚠ |
| Bad Soup | Reach 0–1 points → “Attack her” | Bad Soup | Developer guide | Same | ⚠ |

The three-point calculation
The official bonuses are “Keep the old menu” (+1), “Order soup” (+1), and “Thumbs up” (+1). Porridge, garlic bread and ice cream do not count for the soup point. That distinction matters: ordering a dish that sounds vaguely soup-like is not enough.
For a reliable high-score route, keep the old menu, order eligible soup, and give the thumbs-up. All three yield 3 points, though any two suffice. To target the low-score branch, avoid the old-menu bonus, pick one of the three excluded appetizers and avoid the thumbs-up bonus. The developer does not provide the exact text of every opposite response, so treat that low-score sequence as a scoring deduction, not a transcribed screen-by-screen playthrough.
Efficient route collection
Complete the high-score path once and, if saving is available there, save before “Eat her / Refuse.” Reload for the other outcome. Repeat on the low-score path before “Attack her / Stay calm.” Then exit after the appetizer for Coward. These save points are a practical plan inferred from the documented branches; the game has not been played here to verify each save position. The full version restored pause/save controls that were limited in the original jam build.
Is True End a sixth ending? What about all 12 trophies?
No: the creator says the scene labelled “True End” automatically follows the ending considered canonical in the story and is optional to watch. It is not counted among the five endings. The public guide does not explicitly name the canonical ending.
Version 1.5, announced May 31, added a custom interface, pronoun settings, a gallery and 12 trophies. The game advertises 16 distinct CG illustrations and 40 variations. Both the gallery and trophies are reached from the main menu. There is no published creator-provided mapping for every trophy or image; collecting five endings alone is not proof of 12/12 trophies. In an additional lore post, the creator explains that Spinaché dries and cooks pieces of her own slime body as a secret ingredient. That green strand in the soup has an unusually literal backstory.
Version, technical help and verification
The official page recommends v1.5 for Windows/Linux and macOS; the older 1.0 is the jam version. If the screen flickers black, the developer suggests Shift+G to switch renderers and then restarting. No browser edition is listed. This guide checks the official walkthrough and release notes as of October 21, 2026; it does not claim hands-on reproduction of the endings, CGs or trophy conditions.
Conclusion
2–3 points unlock Eat her/Refuse; 0–1 unlock Attack her/Stay calm; leaving after the appetizer unlocks Coward. Keep the True End scene and 12 trophies as separate completion goals.
