Alternate endings
Bad ending: Wait for Alexander to open, then enter the portal.
Good ending: Wait for Alexander to open the portal. Then, place Agrippa's head into it.
Revenge ending: While Alexander is waiting for the portal to open, push over the three pillars that are giving it energy.
Another ending: When Alexander locks you in the cell and tells you to remain there and be killed by the shadow, do not escape.
Super_Secret.rar
There is a rar file named "Super_Secret" in

"\Steam\SteamApps\common\Amnesia The Dark Descent\

In order to view the files inside you need a combination of the 3 endings. Each ending gives you a different part of the password.
Below are the pieces you receive from each ending, and the completed password.

Revenge ending: lke271
Bad ending: tyr299
Good ending: odn314

Combining them gives you the password of: lke271tyr299odn314

Unfortunately I cant for the life of me figure out where my save is on Steam Deck. Managed to find TDD file through .local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/Amnesia and get to the other stuff in the guide, but cant find my single player game save to edit item values.

It seems that none of this will do anything with Justine. I think that there's some other config files associated with that particular subgame. Not sure. :papyrus:

"Field of View" Isn't really considered to be a cheat.

@Your heart, it's a lot of concept art and engine designs and the sort. Walks you through their development process.
Nothing scary. Promise.

Okay, who wants to spoil the secret for me? [what happens when you put the password in the code] Yes, I'm a pussy.

what ending do you get if you wait in the prison cell?

@LordSlime
When you open the file itself, it should come up with a little window that you insert the password into.

Nice guide nice idea of how you separated

Notepad++ is better.
