Endings

There are three endings that vary in the contents of the letter, the items on the Chief Inspector's bookshelf, and the maid's dialogue. The ending the player gets depends on how many people are typeset into the book.

Ending 1 (0–27 fates)
The maid remarks that all the tea is gone and that maybe the inspector should go to bed. She leaves and the inspector reads the letter (for the version that appears in the game, click here):

Ending 2 (30–56 fates)
The maid's dialogue is unchanged. For the letter that appears in the game, click here. The three survivors the letter refers to are passengers Jane Bird, Emily Jackson, and Fourth Mate's steward Davey James.

Ending 3 (all 58 solvable fates)
The maid gives the inspector a package, advising against opening it inside as it smells just dreadful. She says that tea is in the kitchen if the inspector needs more and leaves. The package contains the hand of Henry Evans' pet monkey, the book and a letter (for the letter that appears in the game, click here).

Using the hand and the pocketwatch, chapter VIII, Bargain, can now be completed and all 60 fates typeset. After leaving the last death scene, an ending sequence plays where the inspector takes the book and places it in the gap at the far left of the bookshelf, then the credits roll.
