'Bad Ending' is a 2D Choose Your Own Adventure narrative game for PC following the story of Scott, a scout kid getting lost during summer camp. Scott doesn't realize it at the start, but his mind can peek into timelines, seeing all his deaths and successes play out.

The game is played by scenes playing out, upon which the player is presented with choices on what Scott should do next. There are many options that lead to survival – and many that lead to death as well.

The main mechanic of the game is the Inter-Conscious Flowchart. At any point of the game, the player may summon up this flowchart, which has mapped out all decision points in the game. Scott's consciousness can then travel to any of these points to play out different situations.

Here's the kicker though, Scott regains knowledge from routes as he jumps through the flowchart. What once was a bad ending can become a legitimate route with information gained on other bad endings!
