Introduction

Rehaunted concludes through a final reconstruction in which you commit to one version of the night, and the options available at that moment depend on two things: the evidence you registered and the choices you made in the radio dialogue. There is no single prompt that decides the outcome. This section explains how those two threads accumulate, why an incomplete case file narrows the conclusions rather than merely weakening them, and how to prepare for the route you actually want. Names and exact counts of endings are not published by the developer, so this guide describes structure and requirements instead of inventing labels.

Ending Overview

A

Choice Path

How the radio conversations frame the case before you reach the finale.

RouteDialogue options taken during check-ins with the second detective accumulate across the entire run rather than being resolved in a single scene.
Watch outSkipping a check-in to keep searching feels efficient, but the framing it would have established never returns and cannot be reconstructed later.
S

Evidence Path

What your evidence board can actually support at the final sequence.

RouteOnly conclusions backed by registered findings become available, so completeness is the requirement here rather than a bonus for thorough players.
Watch outAn unsearched room removes options before you reach the finale rather than merely making the ending you get feel thinner or less satisfying.
S

Final Reconstruction

The endgame sequence where you commit to a version of the night.

RouteThis is the last point that reads your case file, and the reading you choose is the one the game treats as yours.
Watch outTreat it as the end of the investigation, not a checkpoint: there is no going back to sweep afterwards.
S

True Ending Route

The most demanding conclusion, and the one most players aim for first.

RouteRequires a near-complete evidence set collected and logged before the story advances into its final phase and the house stops responding.
Watch outAdvancing the story early can leave an area permanently unsearched, which rules this route out entirely rather than leaving it weakened.
B

Alternative Conclusions

The other readings, all reachable on the same short runtime.

RouteDifferent evidence and dialogue combinations support different versions of the night, so a fresh run produces a genuinely different conclusion.
Watch outComparing interpretations is the point; the game treats multiple readings as intended outcomes rather than as mistakes you made along the way.

Core Mechanics

The ending system runs on two accumulating inputs. The first is your logged evidence: the evidence board is what the finale reads, so a conclusion you have not supported simply will not be offered. The second is the radio dialogue, where choices made across the whole run change how the case is framed rather than resolving at a single decision point. Because both inputs accumulate, the practical advice is front-loaded: sweep rooms completely and answer every check-in long before the reconstruction sequence begins. By the time the finale starts, most of the outcome is already decided, and what remains is which supported reading you choose.

Advantages

The ending design is generous about replay. Rehaunted is a two to three hour game, and the alternatives are reachable on the same short runtime, so a second pass to see a different conclusion is a realistic evening rather than a second campaign. Because the routes depend on evidence and dialogue rather than on a difficulty setting, a second run is also genuinely different: you know which rooms carry the findings that support the conclusion you did not take, and you can target them directly. Players who enjoy comparing interpretations get unusually good value from a game this short. The routes also stay legible, because each conclusion is built from evidence you can point at rather than from a hidden flag, so you can usually explain afterwards why you got the ending you did.

Challenges

The risk is that the game never tells you what you have locked yourself out of. There is no warning when the story advances past a room you had not finished, and no post-finale summary of the conclusions that were available but unchosen. Skipping radio check-ins is the quietest failure of all, because their effect on how the case is framed is cumulative and invisible. The other limitation is documentation: the developer has not published an ending list, so no honest guide can give you a name-by-name breakdown. What this section can do is tell you what each route depends on, which is what actually determines your options.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many endings does Rehaunted have?+
Cauchemar has not published an ending count, so any specific number you see elsewhere should be treated with caution. What is documented is the structure: the game concludes through a final reconstruction, and which conclusions you can reach depends on the evidence you registered and the dialogue choices you made during radio check-ins. In practice that produces several distinct readings of the same night rather than a fixed set of labelled endings, which is why this guide describes routes and their requirements instead of inventing names.
How do I get the true ending in Rehaunted?+
By treating completeness as the requirement. The most demanding conclusion depends on a near-complete evidence set collected before the final reconstruction, so the decisive work happens hours earlier: sweeping every room fully, photographing and logging findings rather than just seeing them, and answering the radio each time it calls. Advancing the story early is what rules the route out, because a room left unfinished can become permanently unsearched, and no ending choice can recover evidence you never registered.
Can I see a different ending without replaying everything?+
Practically, plan for a second run rather than a save-scum. The inputs that decide your options accumulate across the whole investigation — evidence logged and dialogue chosen — so the state that matters is built long before the reconstruction sequence begins. The good news is that the game is only two to three hours, and a second pass is much faster when you already know which rooms carry the findings that support the reading you want. That is generally more reliable than trying to reload your way into a different conclusion.

Quick Tips

💡

Plan the ending before the finale, not at it. The reconstruction reads from your evidence board and your radio choices, both of which accumulated over the whole run, so nothing you do in the last ten minutes can supply findings that were never found. Treat the last sequence as a summary of decisions already made.

💡

Never advance the story out of a room you have not finished. A missed area can become permanently unsearched, which removes conclusions from the pool entirely rather than simply weakening the ending you get. The house is small, so a second pass before the trigger costs only a few minutes.

💡

Answer every radio check-in even when you are mid-search. The dialogue choices made there shape how the case is framed, and unlike a room, a conversation you skip does not wait for you to come back to it. Step away from the shelf and take the call. The call is short; the information it carries is not.
