True Ending: A Spoiler-Controlled Route
Nightwater officially advertises four endings, but the developer does not label one of them the 'true ending' in the checked store description. A September 24 community memory guide describes a sequence of additional endings. Use the spoiler-controlled route below as attributed player guidance, not an independently verified achievement prerequisite list.

Before revealing the route
Check that you are on 1.0.13 or newer if an ending is missing from the cave table. That display issue has an official fix. A blank table entry and a missing Steam achievement are not necessarily the same problem.
Community route: subsequent endings
ScottDev's memory guide describes finishing the initial route, completing the regional Unlocks collections, repeating the finish, and then following newly available torch and hidden-door interactions. The later steps are sequential in that guide. We have not independently tested all prerequisites, so do not erase or restart a save based on this summary.
Use a checklist without assuming extra requirements
Keep ending interactions, milestone completion, boons and Steam achievements as separate checkboxes. A boon guide is useful for optional exploration, but its existence does not establish that every boon is required for the final achievement.
Put the plan to work
Track four endings and discovered secrets in a spoiler-safe local checklist without invented requirements.
