Description: A cycle-by-cycle guide to every LASt Missing ending, including Las versus Shadow choices, the permanent dresser items, endings 5–7, the false reset and the Cycle 7 finale.

LASt Missing has 12 endings spread across seven cycles. For a clean first run, leave the key and gun on the dresser, save before the basement and keep track of whether you have sided with Las or the Shadow. The official guide says Ending 12 restores access to saves from earlier cycles, which makes cleanup much easier.

All 12 endings: route table (spoilers)

The route conditions below follow the developer's October 10, 2026 walkthrough. Choice labels are preserved from the English game. The download is labelled v1.0; these branches were not independently replay-tested after the October 11 page update.

Why old saves do not reset the relationship

Las and the Shadow remember earlier decisions even when you load an old save. The game is deliberately playing with the expectation that a save file rewinds everything. Objects picked up from the dresser also remain with you permanently. The developer recommends leaving those objects alone on the first playthrough and saving before major basement decisions.

Endings 5, 6 and 7: the confusing trio

For Ending 5, the essential combination is consistent support for Las plus Call Las and Stay in Cycle 2. One player reports succeeding after dancing with Las, accepting his drink or pill and choosing affectionate interactions. Those are useful examples, not individually confirmed requirements. Ending 6 takes the opposite relationship path: name the Shadow and support him before leaving together or agreeing to his three questions. Ending 11 looks similar at the final choice but requires insufficient trust; trying it in Cycle 1 is explicitly reliable.

The Cycle 4 split and what happens after Reset

Ending 7 is a triple refusal, not just a single No. Check the TV room, the curtain scene and the basement in Cycle 3. The official conditions are these three refusals; community suggestions about specific earlier conversations may help with navigation but are not proven universal prerequisites.

Build, access and evidence

Cycles 4 and 5 reward remembering your history. Ending 8 requires having left with the Shadow at least once; Ending 9 requires never doing so. Ending 10 follows the Reset command in Cycle 5. To reach Ending 12, continue through the empty-house sequence in Cycle 6, press the corner menu button, restart and complete Cycle 7. The apparent finale is another puzzle about what restarting means.

The route worth remembering

As of October 18, 2026, the official itch.io page lists downloadable Windows, macOS and Linux builds, not an in-browser version. The files are marked 1.0. The October 10 devlog describes improved English navigation, pronouns, Shadow naming and visible dresser objects. This article relies on those official statements and clearly identified player reports; it does not claim a hands-on run or exact hidden trust values.

Treat each cycle as a chapter in a memory experiment. Save before the basement, keep a note of which character you have supported and resist grabbing the permanent items on your first attempt. The strangest ending is not a secret button in the basement: it is what happens after the game invites you to reset.
