comment |
Multiple Endings: The ending depends on whether or not you kept the cubs alive and whether or not you saved and befriended the mother badger. If you kept only one cub alive by the end of the game, it will be a Sole Survivor that may not make it out on its own, turning it into a Downer Ending. |

comment |
Humans Are Bastards: Foxes have been driven to near extinction thanks to humankind's destruction of the world. That said, not all humans are bad, and some are simply trying to survive... except for one Furrier who is seemingly hell-bent on eradicating the fox family. |

Bittersweet Ending |
| | Endling - Extinction is Forever (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e |
comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The mother fox dies of a gunshot wound, collapsing as she drags herself into the forest surrounding a power plant. Despite that, she found her cubs a safe new home and they have a guardian in the badger they befriended who takes them deeper into the forest where they can't be hurt. That said, it could edge into a Downer Ending depending upon how one interprets the fact the forest is surrounding a fenced-off nuclear power plant, that is shown to be just as broken down as the rest of the human settlements, and the clicking of what sounds like a Geiger counter as the scene fades to black...And even if the fox cubs and badger survive any potential radiation, it doesn't look good for the red fox species as there are only four (at best) left who are all siblings. |

comment |
Golden Ending: The closest thing to one you'll ever get is to keep all your three cubs alive while finding the fourth one (and saving a mother badger along the way), making sure all four of them survive by the end of the game. Not only that, but you will get all four achievements in one go ("All for One", "Two Peas in a Pod", "Three Little Foxes", and "We Are a Family") if you do so by the game's end. |

Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves |
| | Endling - Extinction is Forever (Video Game) / int_8288929a |
comment |
Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: The memories you uncover by scent reveal that the scavenger wants medicine for his daughter Molly's terminal illness and can't afford it, until the furrier makes a deal that if he can kill the mother fox (using one of her cubs as bait), he can sell her fur coat and the cub for enough money to buy medicine for Molly. Although the scavenger tries and fails to kill the fox, Molly, in contrast, offers kindness to her and her cubs by offering them food. We are then shown through more pics that eventually the scavenger calls off the deal thanks to his daughter's kindness and tries to find another way to save her. But after Molly eventually succumbs to her illness, and the mother fox comforts him, the scavenger becomes more determined to protect the remnants of a dying wildlife. Unfortunately, he is later found dead with a hatchet embedded in his chest and his gun missing, implied to be the work of the furrier who didn't take kindly to the scavenger's resignation. |

Apocalypse How: This game is set in a Bad Future, where the entire city is in a regional scale societal disruption bordering on planetary scale multiple species extinction due to human-engineered climate change. By the game's end, it has devolved into a bit of a planetary scale societal collapse in a barren wasteland. |

Ominous Owl: Owls can be found sleeping on the overworld and must be snuck past. If the Mother Fox fails to do so, it will wake up and try to take off with one of the baby foxes unless the Mother Fox fends them off. It's also notable for being (outside of hunger) one of the few ways that she can lose her children during the game. |

Shout-Out |
| | Endling - Extinction is Forever (Video Game) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: The three achievements you obtain for finding all traces of the missing cub in each location bears Rick Astley's song to mind (specifically, "Never Gonna Give You Up"). The "Chicken Dinner" achievement you get when you kill one chicken and feed it to your cubs is a shout-out to the meme that spawned from the 2008 film 21. The wasteland that the mother fox and her cub(s) are moving away from along with the badger (who has lost her son if you helped them earlier) and some humanity remaining, kinda brings to mind the death parade of the dinosaurs in the "Rite of Spring" segment of Fantasia. |
