Evil School Best Endings Guide

Evil School is not designed around a single “true ending” banner. CineGame Interactive built 42 outcomes reflecting compromise — revenge satisfied while truth stays buried, or truth partially revealed while bullies escape justice. This guide ranks recommended first completions by player goal, not moral superiority. Demo players see only a subset in Chapter 1; full rankings mature after August 14, 2026 launch.

Use Demo Ending Checklist while working through suggestions below.

Ranking criteria

We score endings on four axes (1–5 scale in community consensus, pre-launch):

1. Sister truth — How much light on Gu Panyu’s 2018 fate?
2. Narrative closure — Does the arc feel complete?
3. Revenge catharsis — Emotional payoff of hunts?
4. Replay incentive — Does it motivate another run?

See Gu Panyu Mystery for lore context on “truth” endings.

Best for first-time players (demo)

Partial truth ending (recommended blind follow-up)

Why: Balances FMV thriller payoff with unanswered questions that mirror the full game’s marketing tone.

How: Surveillance + physical evidence, restrained trial dialogue — Demo Walkthrough Phase 3–4.

Avoid if: You cannot tolerate cliffhangers.

Hollow revenge ending (recommended second run)

Why: Shows core trial mechanism at full intensity without requiring 100% clue completion.

How: Aggression path, Li Manting public trial — Trial Mechanism.

Avoid if: You want empathy-heavy writing first.

Best for narrative closure (full game — post-launch)

Planned tier for August 2026 — names provisional until verified:

Tier	Expected profile	Prerequisites (predicted)
S	Full sister truth + accountability	Max clue chains, balanced empathy/revenge
A	Truth without all villains punished	Surveillance pillar + spare secondary target
B	Justice without full truth	Revenge rail, incomplete notebook

Update after launch on Endings Hub.

Best for revenge fantasy

Players seeking mastermind exhilaration should prioritize:

• Public auditorium trials
• Maximum humiliation dialogue (Li Manting routes)
• Order hunts to keep witnesses alive until they watch peers fall

Catharsis peaks early; truth scores low — acceptable trade per Choices and Consequences.

Best for empathy / confession seekers

Zhang Yao-focused private trials yield confession FMV prized by character-driven fans — start Zhang Yao profile before attempting.

Empathy routes risk bad ending traps where bullies manipulate Panqing — save often.

Endings to defer

Failure state endings

Educational for mechanics, poor for story satisfaction. Hunt intentionally once, then skip on lore runs.

Preview-only stingers

Chapter 2–6 demo montages are not full endings — pretty but non-interactive. Mark separately on checklist.

Worst endings?

Subjective. Community often ranks “sister forgotten” revenge max endings as emotionally hollow — not badly written, but punishing for players who missed clue pillars. No ending is missable permanently if you save and replay.

Recommended play order

1. Blind partial truth or hollow revenge (demo Chapter 1).
2. Opposite rail second run.
3. 100% clue completion run — Clue Hunting.
4. Post-launch: chase S-tier truth ending using Branching Paths chart.

Relation to achievements

Steam achievements may not map 1:1 to endings at launch. Treat this guide as narrative advice; achievement hunters should wait for official list on Updates Hub.

Spoilers

We avoid final-scene description. Discuss specifics in community threads linked from Official Links Hub after you mark endings seen.

Comparison table (demo-focused)

Player goal	Start with	Avoid on first run
Story impact	Partial truth	Failure states
Mechanic learning	Hollow revenge	100% clue grind
Completion prep	Empathy deviation	Skipping museum
Stream highlight	Public Li trial	Long investigation

After launch, this table expands to cover S-tier truth endings versus bittersweet justice routes. Until then, treat demo recommendations as training wheels for the full five-hundred-minute graph documented on Endings Hub.
