A cycle-by-cycle route map for all twelve endings, including Las, the Shadow, Reset, the basement and the persistent-memory system.
LASt Missing has 12 endings spread across seven cycles. The crucial mechanic is that choices can carry across loops—even after loading an earlier save. On your first run, leave the dresser items untouched and save before the basement. This guide separates the developer's confirmed triggers from player-suggested shortcuts.
All 12 endings at a glance
| Ending | Cycle | Required choices / sequence | Outcome | Source | Build | Spoiler |

| 1 | 1–3 | Kitchen: “Walk away” → “Run alone” | Ending 1 | Official | 1.0 / 2026-10-10 | ⚠ |
| 2 | 1–3 | Reach basement; choose “Call Las” in cycles 1–2, or remain silent in cycle 3 | Ending 2 | Official | 1.0 / 2026-10-10 | ⚠ |
| 3 | 1–2 | Remain silent in the basement | Ending 3 | Official | 1.0 / 2026-10-10 | ⚠ |
| 4 | 1–3 | Kitchen: choose “Call the police” | Ending 4 | Official | 1.0 / 2026-10-10 | ⚠ |
| 5 | 2 | Side with Las whenever possible → basement: “Call Las” → “Stay” | Las route ending | Official | 1.0 / 2026-10-10 | ⚠ |
| 6 | 2–3 | Name and support the Shadow; cycle 2: “Call the Shadow” → “Leave with the Shadow”; cycle 3: answer “Yes” to all three questions | Shadow route ending | Official | 1.0 / 2026-10-10 | ⚠ |
| 7 | 3 | Say “No” to the Shadow in the TV room, behind the curtain and in the basement | Refusal ending | Official | 1.0 / 2026-10-10 | ⚠ |
| 8 | 4 | Have left with the Shadow at least once → complete cycle 4 | Ending 8 | Official | 1.0 / 2026-10-10 | ⚠ |
| 9 | 4 | Never have left with the Shadow → complete cycle 4 | Ending 9 | Official | 1.0 / 2026-10-10 | ⚠ |
| 10 | 5 | Press “Reset” | Ending 10 | Official | 1.0 / 2026-10-10 | ⚠ |
| 11 | 1–3 | Before sufficient trust, basement: “Call the Shadow” → “Leave with the Shadow”; guaranteed in cycle 1 | Premature departure ending | Official | 1.0 / 2026-10-10 | ⚠ |
| 12 | 6–7 | Explore the empty house → use corner main-menu button → start again → finish cycle 7 | Final ending | Official | 1.0 / 2026-10-10 | ⚠ |
Which endings belong to each cycle?
Cycle 1: 1, 2, 3, 4, 11. Cycle 2: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11. Cycle 3: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 11. Cycle 4: 8, 9. Cycle 5: 10. Cycles 6–7: 12. These are availability windows, not a promise that all listed outcomes can be earned in one continuous run.
Endings 5 and 6: where players get stuck
Ending 5 is exclusive to cycle 2: consistently support Las, then call him and stay in the basement. For ending 6, give the Shadow a name and support him. Cycle 2 requires leaving with him; cycle 3 instead calls for three affirmative answers. The developer does not publish exact affinity thresholds, so treat extra dialogue tips in comments as suggestions rather than mandatory flags.
Why endings 8 and 9 depend on earlier loops
The split in cycle 4 checks your history with the Shadow. Having departed with him even once leads toward 8; never doing so leads toward 9. Since the story retains memories across cycles and even older saves, a load operation may not erase the state you think it does.
The unusual routes: 11, Reset and 12
Ending 11 is an early attempt to leave with the Shadow before he trusts you; the developer says cycle 1 always works. Ending 10 is reached with the “Reset” control in cycle 5. For 12, explore the empty mansion, use the main-menu button in the corner, begin again, and complete cycle 7. Once 12 is unlocked, older cycle saves can be revisited for cleanup.
Version and evidence
The route list follows the developer's October 10, 2026 walkthrough and the October 11 distribution update labeled last_missing-1.0. The patch improves dresser item visibility, English menus and pronoun handling. This is a Windows/macOS/Linux download, not an HTML5 browser game. No direct playthrough or exact hidden-variable inspection was performed; search volume was not measured.
Bottom line
To collect all twelve, track cycle number plus remembered choices, not just the current dialogue. Las loyalty unlocks 5, Shadow trust unlocks 6, three refusals unlock 7, past departures separate 8 and 9, Reset gives 10, and the menu restart is essential for 12.
