Thanks!

Excellent! This all turned out like it should. At least for me :P!
Frenne Dilley 21 Dec, 2022 @ 11:51pm 
it's a tricky balance... took me several goes to get the self-absorbed ending
Neonai 21 Dec, 2022 @ 11:32pm 
Got Self Portrait ending today. To obtain it, you need to pick only half of the whisper items, all of them related to painter, like cane, glasses, dog collar, brushes, paint tool. Ignore wife and child stuff, avoid death. And also look on the paintings in the house.
Frenne Dilley 21 Dec, 2022 @ 8:22am 
don't know what to tell you... what things did you think you did right? maybe if you write it down and describe it to me either you or i will spot something :bluepage:
Neonai 21 Dec, 2022 @ 7:58am 
Did literally everything from the Self Portrait guide, but got wife's ending. Repeated from the beginning, following the video directly - still the same. Video is not working anymore :0face:
