Timestamp (spoilers) 0:00 if you escape from the side door 0:23 if you escape from out the vent 2:08 if you escape and go home (long ending)

mad respect on the detective guy at least he was there to help her :((

the vent is the scariest for me, the way he banged on the door has me shaking

its not about the ending, its about sending the message - chilla's art

Fast fact : this game is based on a true story in japan where the police careless and didn't believe the girl ultimately caused the girl killed

I don't know why but the screwdriver ending where she is inside the bathroom trying to unscrew the vent while the stalker is banging on the door has to be one of the most terrifying scenes I have ever encountered plus the sound design is spectacular.

What's that? My phone stolen by a killer stalker is just outside in the parking lot under my balcony? I better go get it!

The fact that the stalker is cunning and calculated makes it all more terrifying they’re getting smarter all of them brah all women out there I hope you all be careful out there

Rule 1 of horror: Never hit them just once. Keep going until nothing is left of their skull except blood and mush. They ALWAYS get back up.

I know a lot of people are talking about how they wish there were a good ending but I think people need to see this as a harsh reality that can happen to a lot of women

I found the good ending!!Before leaving the apartment to go to work during the last part of the game, you go outside, down the stairs, turn around, and then go back inside. Next you have to go to the couch. Then the girl will be safe. Next, you close the game, uninstall, leave a great review, and thats it. The girl cant die if you don't finish the game.

On ending 2, I kept thinking “CHECK THE BACK SEAT!!!” All the endings really had me on edge though

It’s best to assume the Stalker died offscreen in a satisfying way where the main character kills him and pushes him off the Balcony after stabbing him in the eye with the Screwdriver, that huge Brick she dropped on the Stalker’s head would give her an advantage to finish him off because it would eventually bother him if he tried whatever he was trying to do to her. And then after a few weeks passed, she just finds the right guy at work and live happily ever after! You got the good ending :) Edit: Holy crap thx for the 2k likes guys! 😭😭😭

As a guy, I thoroughly enjoyed this game due to the life lessons it has taught me. Apart from learning to make some recipes myself (haha, I actually really loved learning recipes and making coffee), actually being the protagonist and directly perceiving stalking has helped me better understand what some women go through in society. I think there's no good ending for a good reason, and that's to send a strong message to the player. Also, I think the first ending is supposed to have an open-ended interpretation for very good reasons, but neither of the interpretations are to be fully discounted. Women should be heard and your concerns taken seriously in society; most men don't have a good understanding of what you go through.

Disturbing theory, but I think the strange noises in the death jumpscare are meant to represent something like the sound of wild animals, maybe a dog, or some type of predator catching its prey, with the sound of the prey desperately trying to get away. You can take this any way you'd like, but I feel like there's something specific about this jumpscare and it's not disturbing for no reason

I wouldn't have gone home if I was her. She knew the guy knew where she lived. Would have told the police! Even if she thought she killed him. Creepy!

What if Good Endings 1 You used the screwdriver to stab the stalker 2 You gave your real number to shoya and call him and he calls the cops to arrest the stalker and was given a death penalty (or he is dead) 3 Senpai arrives on time to save you from the stalker (or he is killed by the stalker)

>I didn't mean to kill him And that's where I'd differ from the protagonist. This guy definitely fucked around and deserved to find out.

Gotta live by Zombieland rules: Always double-tap

The paranoia that some creep is constantly watching you is just terrifying. This is one of my biggest fears, and when he disappeared from the door when he was closing, it scared me to death. I would be thinking that he is silently lurking through the cafe, stalking me.

I wish there was a good ending. Especially considering the protagonist and her situation, as a woman I want to see her succeed and be happy. I just hope that in the ending where she dropped a cement block on his head, he gets some sort of internal hemorrhaging. There's no way that wouldn't mess his head up badly. So when he goes to attack her, he starts to have a seizure or something and she takes the opportunity to incapacitate or kill him, then goes on to move out of that place and live happily ever after.

At first I thought there would be a thing where if you got the screwdriver you could defend yourself :/

this game gives me shivers i was watching one of my favourite streamers play this and spilled my milk eight times

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

the first ending is terrifying. just the sounds... it's disgusting and sent shivers up my spine... 😢

So you just can’t win huh :(

There weren’t any “good endings” to this game or “win” this shows how much trauma can affect someone, many players were confused which was supposed to be one of the point, did he died? Did he killed her? Did she died? Were most of the parts hallucinations? This game is the reality women have to go through with stalkers that will ruin them forever even if they died

i know people keep on repeating it but i do truly believe that in the ending where the protag escapes through the side door, she is being SAd after being incapacitated and i think the noises present really imply that too. chilla never confirms it but there are a lot of theories. the most popular is SA. monkey hunters use dogs to help them, well, hunt. i think the sounds imply that the “dog”, in this case, the stalker, captured his “monkey”, the protagonist. now, he is…brutalizing his prey. the sounds honestly are just unnerving and made me squirm in my seat while watching cory’s play through

The scariest part of all this is that it can happen to anyone.

Stalkers are a serious issue. It’s the real life version of a yandere but 50 times more unpleasant due to the other party being a total creep. The worst part is it’s 99% males. Not only do they take your stuff (larceny), break into your property (trespassing) and follow you around (restraining orders are legal in Japan right?) but these mofos are mentally ill criminals in the making that will commit sexual assault and even murder (iirc Tanaka Rie, Nep Nep’s VA was attacked during her anime festival about 10 years ago) Police are willing to jail an innocent man without certain evidence but aren’t willing to jail a stalker when there IS evidence. Things in anime seem so nice because in comparison, real life in Japan generally sucks a lot; it’s why this industry flourishes so much. If you wanna be a successful Yandere go be a successful handsome CEO of your own company in your twenties first and you can be domineering and stalker-like all you want ok.

I've never seen the game before and when i clicked on the video i did not expect a jumpscare 💀

So in all of the endings the stalker gets her? I thought there would be at least one ending where she got away or maybe even killed the stalker

I will NEVER understand why stalkers kill the people they love.. Messed up, truly. It just doesn't add up :'(

I wish it had an ending where the girl picks up all the bricks and throws at him 😔

After finished this game,I immediately boot up "Yakuza Zero". And replayed that substory to beat up stalker real quick to release stressed from this game. Man,Haven't seen horror games this good once in a while...

I guess technically there's only one ending to the game while the others are just fail states

Oh that moment when you're being stalked by a deranged psychopath and after a harrowing escape conveniently find your phone just outside your balcony after setting it on your counter several minutes beforehand, totally not suspicious at all ^^

If you like this video please like and subscribe for more! :)

Was watching Sykkuno play this and chat kept telling him to "drop a brick on the guy" - I'm glad I watched this because I NEVER would have seen that guy there

During the death animation you can listen closely and hear the the girl…well moaning which implies that the stalker didn’t kill her, rather he did something really sus.

Theres no way he survived that he get hit in the head with that brick.

I gotta be honest, the whole surviving a fucking giant ass brick being dropped on his head ruined the immersion for me. The whole point of the game is a realistic horror. No human would just walk away from that. Even if he didn't die, no wau he'd be okay enough to leave before the cops arrived. Not a great place for the "I always come back" trope. Also the whole get your phone thing was really weird and unnatural. Apparently the protagonist is some kind of moron like...???? Chilling game though, especially as a young female. Looks really fun and I hope to play it myself one day

a game where there's no win win situation

I know this is only a game, but this just shows that you always need to be strapped with a weapon 24/7 no matter where you go, even when you're at home. Whether it be a knife, bat, or gun, always have something to protect yourself.

This game is actually pretty great and the jumpscares are good i love it

So there is no difference if you reject the bracelet or you let the naked dude stay longer?

Tbh, I wonder what will happen if she escaped from the apartment area(on foot, cuz I know the game will not give you the option for her to drive her car) instead of going inside after she pick up her phone in the parking lot..🤔

This game is a hard-to-swallow experience. Just to think that someone right now is living such a horrible time... It gives me the creeps.

The real horror is this sort of thing happens in real life.

I paused at the 11th second of the video and the stalker had something in his hand. So the violence that you probably already know about was a high chance that it was not intended.

That's sad that the player who is playing can't win :

I wonder why/how she never noticed her phone being stolen. Worst thing is the stalker was somehow able to break into her home. Btw., the game looks kinda an updated or remade/reworked version of The Convenience Store.

I heard somebody say somewhere that on the first ending, it seemed alot more like r*pe..I can't unsee it now. It's horrifying but sadly accurate I'm sure for alot of people.

tbh even if there was a good ending the protag would probably paranoid af and have trauma

When I was playing this game I always checked the closet and even hid there for a couple of seconds to see if something happens, then in the end I still died to the bastard hiding in the closet.. smh

And they were two stalkers: the hoodie guy and the cell phone guy. The cellphone guy most likely killed the hoodie guy (he was living in the shop).

I kind of enjoy the lack of a good ending due to the setting. The protagonist is constantly put under pressure to do things right and deal with multiple orders and then clean up everything all alone. She is overworked and gaslighted. Plus some people imply that there may be ghosts or other reasons, so the protag's judgement gets clouded. Some people talked about ghosts and ghosts don't exist, so why another person or her would be correct in believing that something is going on? Plus there are many cases when victims got ignored in Japan and get told to get over it. Life isn't sweet and sometimes downer endings are needed to reflect. Finally, a good ending would imply that somehow the protag and victims could survive if they wanted to.

Going to try explain this as easy as possible. I don't think the man r*** her, you can see hes fully clothed (possibly wearing a full body suit) and the sounds come almost instantly there wouldn't be any time for removing clothing and sorts . 0:04 you can see hes fully clothed. 0:11 he gets you. 0:13 The sounds are audible. Its pretty impossible for Him to unclothe himself and the mc in a 2 second timespan so me most likely beat the mc to death.

I wonder if how you play in the middle unlocks more endings

The side door escaping was so...traumatizing..I hope he didn't do what I think he did...

I don’t own the game sadly, but I was wondering during the ending when you go to get your phone.. what if instead of returning to your apartment you go to the bus? Would that somehow be a good ending? Or would it just not work? Or perhaps it would end the same way.. I really wish I could test this out! Please anyone with the game try this out and share your results.

Reading the comment section makes me even more scared, especially the comment that mentioned many stalker cases are real😰😱

I do not know what he did to her body to be making that kind of noises like that o.0

so basically it doesn't matter either ending she dies! well maybe not in the last one idk she probably could have pushed him off the edge

This game is depressing

But what if you don't give him his phone in the very beginning?

i accidentally did all of the endings, and i keep doing it because i want a good ending, but i don't think there is one

I can't even describe the violent squeaking sounds are so unnerving 😬

Now I know why Mark was so on edge when he was opening the vent

0:00 istg u didn’t have to give me a heart attack like that 😭😭😭

Long ending would’ve been good ending if she would’ve full on thrown the brick at the stalker instead of letting it drop from her hands. And and a few extra drops on the dome just to make sure.

A game is a game, this should have a good kind of ending, that way atleast a good message can be delivered. Not just deppressing messages, but actual hopeful one. An example would be the worker kills the stalket, and recover from the trauma with the help of people around her after time passes which rarely happens but does happen. The body's gone, and the worker just decides "everything ia vack to normal and i can chillax again".... Truly a troublefisher move. Why should a game copy reality so much, it makes no sense to me, including the troublefisher move the worker did.

Can you take the bus instead of going to your car when you escape through the vent?

So the police didn't really do much , the guy must've hidden the body of the private investigator. There is no way he got beat to death and the police found his body and thought nothing of it . I assume he witnessed the stalker coming off the roof . As well it was pretty creepy the stalker was coming out of the back room and hitting the breaker.

Can you guys explain why the death sound there's a monkey sound? What did stalker do to her though?

they should have made the bathroom an ending, where if you wait for too long he barges through the door. Or if you wait, he's gone, but later finds out he's hiding inside the cafe.

My dude when he kills you is like a f#cking zombie

Never doing closing shifts at Starbucks ever again!

alternative good ending: You never picked the stalker's phone at the start of the game and you got to live a long and healthy life.

How did the brick drop not kill him?

Ok. So I have so many questions. Why in the world would you wanna pack the cakes first when you could just close the door first? Why can't u take his mobile to call the police and also the bat from the stalker, so that you can defend yourself? Why would you not show the police the CCTV footage of that stalker standing behind the store? If you understood someone's been living in the store, why the heck would you not take you mobile from the cupboard and call the police while also blocking all doors that lead inwards? You live in a story that has many items you can use to defend yourself, like you can use the mop, the hot water, break a chair and use the chair leg as a melee and I can go on with this list. Surely the computer could have some sort of internet access, you can call help online in some way. Also, if you already knew the stalker knows your whereabouts, why not go to the police in advance? Many people told somethings off with the store, but you never felt to check it with the senpai?

Good Ending, just lay out a mine field around the house and hang some signs out with the inscription: who seeks will find, who steps on it will disappear :)

Sucks that there’s only 3 endings and they all involve you dying or possibly being taken?

So, you're pretty much screwed either way? That sucks.

Wait… if this is sexual violence, then what in great heavens did he literally do with his bat??? Did he- ayo thats a bit sussy but violent

this scare me a lot not gona lie. Don't remember last time i got scared by game/movie or something like that

Endings=dead

it's sad knowing it happens a lot in real life

1:56 Is this the same high pitched sound used in Omori? I automatically think of it when I hear it.

This sound random but... If only Kazuma Kiryu or Majima were in this the stalker will be screwed and leave her alone.

This is why in a life or death fight it’s always best to ensure you kill the opponent. When dealing with wolves don’t be a sheep, be a lion. She should have immediately started throwing more cement blocks on him crushing his bones and then delivered the death blow with several screw driver stabs to the throat and soaked the ground with his blood ensuring his wounds were fatal before contacting police. Then the third ending wouldn’t have ended how it did. Instead she’s feeling remorse about doing what was necessary. This is weakness, and she paid for it.

0:16 what is he doing 😱

I always find the animal noises to be disturbing on one of the endings Bc I read a book and in one point of the story the protagonist mentions that he saw the sight of two animals and after that it was implied that his wife was SA

POV: You close at McDonald's and its 11:59.

i find it scary how the outcome is always the same the girl always dies because no one listened

This game has a secret good ending, here are the details of this ending. This is how Chatgpt explained to me that this game has a secret good ending Although there is no detailed information about the secret ending of the game "The Closing Shift" in many sources, there is an alternative ending discovered by some players in the game. Here are the details of this secret ending: ### Unlocking the Secret Ending 1. **Cafe Work**: The player does his daily work in the cafe. These jobs include making coffee, cleaning, and serving customers. 2. **Hidden Clues and Items**: The player finds some hidden clues and items hidden in different areas of the cafe. These items are usually placed in a way that attracts the player's attention. 3. **Security Cameras**: The player monitors the stalker and tracks his movements using security cameras. This indicates that the stalker is wandering around the cafe. 4. **Stalker's Identity and Reasons**: The player learns who the stalker is and why he targets the player through the clues and notes he finds. This provides a deep understanding of the story. ### The Secret Ending Itself 1. **Escape Plan**: The player finds a safe place inside the cafe and hides. However, this time, thanks to the clues he finds, he predicts the stalker's plans and makes a plan against him. 2. **Encounter with Stalker**: Stalker enters the cafe and starts looking for the player. But this time, the player is prepared and traps the stalker. 3. **Police and Getting Caught**: Thanks to these preparations, the player manages to stall the stalker and calls the police in the meantime. The police arrive at the cafe and catch the stalker. 4. **Salvation**: Stalker is caught and arrested by the police. The player escapes safely and the story ends with the player returning home safely. This secret ending ends on a more positive note than other endings and allows the player to get rid of the stalker. This ending gives players an extra objective and allows them to experience the game from a different perspective. Unlocking the secret ending requires in-depth exploration of the game and careful collection of all clues.

It not fair ,no matter which roots it’s a bad end

I think the first death and which had the wierd noises of screaming and screeching was her prolly getting sexually abused after knocking her to ground

I dont know man with a brick like that that dudes skull should've pancaked. Like that brick bro should have just been the ending from realistic point of view.

This game and The Mortuary Assistant are definitely my favorite.
