Description: Click “Headphones recommended” ten times in the menu to jump to the ending, according to the developer. The intended puzzle is to match Polaroid views with locations inside a haunted house.
To see the ending immediately, click “Headphones recommended” in the menu ten times. Developer Oskari Olli revealed this in a reply to a player. The normal game, published on October 7, 2026, asks you to explore a 3D haunted house and work out where each Polaroid was taken.

Match the camera angle, not merely the objects
Finding the same window is a starting point, not a complete solution. Compare the broad wall layout, then where furniture sits relative to doors, and finally the height and angle of the view. This is a practical approach to a photo-matching puzzle, not a play-tested map of every photograph.
Does the shortcut count as completing everything?
The creator said it goes directly to the ending. That does not establish whether it records normal completion or unlocks other endings. The developer also described the game as still needing work. The hidden exit being tucked into a headphone recommendation is an excellent horror-game joke: the menu may be more suspicious than the house.
Bottom line: ten clicks to preview the ending; viewpoint matching to solve the mystery. Direct gameplay, exact photo positions and the total number of endings remain unverified.
