9 Unreleased Video Game Endings Fans DEMAND To See

9. Life Is Strange - The Hospital Ending

If you’ve played Life Is Strange then you know the teenage tale slash supernatural saga leaves a number of things in your hands when it comes to how you want things to play out.

This is true in many moments throughout the game but none more so than its epic conclusion when a wild storm has descended on your town Arcadia Bay threatening everyone within it. Turns out that when protagonist Max decided to save her best friend Chloe at the start of the game and repeatedly throughout it, she accidentally messed with the natural order of events and unleashed a supernatural devastating weather event. In the end you have two choices, save your bestie Chloe and doom Arcadia Bay, or save Arcadia Bay and let Chloe die. And so the meme ‘bae vs. bay’ was born.

While there’s rampant debate over which ending is better, there was originally a tweak to the ending where you choose to sacrifice Chloe.

Titled “Hospital - Ending” in the game files, DONTNOD considered having Chloe fall into a coma if you choose to sacrifice her instead of straight up dying, giving players some hope that perhaps all wasn’t lost for their blue-haired fav. That ending didn’t make the final cut, though, so people like me who chose to save Arcadia Bay over our girl just have to live with that funeral scene. Bummer.
