If you think your favorite game has too many endings, then try and wrap your mind around Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, which is said to hold the record for 100 endings, and they’re bent on making more. Yep, you heard that right: MORE. The script is longer than the average 60 novellas, and yet the dev is coming over here and saying, “Nah, we definitely gotta increase it.”

The thing is, let’s also talk about the weight of it all. One hundred endings. This is not a case of an ending for, like, choosing the red door instead of the blue one. It’s a completely twisted branching narrative where each choice can spiral into a different end entirely. And the script? Literally more dialogue than sixty novels. I mean, this is more than what some game franchises have for multiple titles combined.

The gamers are losing their minds: “That’s wild in a game already packed with 100 endings and a script the size of 60 novels. The idea of more endings is both ambitious and awesome,” said one. “Damn bro, who you expect to play your game that long to find all the fucking endings?” Another tweet just mentioned. That is a valid question, I mean.

But the fact of the matter is—people want it. From “Never heard of it but now I wanna play it” to “Goated game, everyone should play it,” angry hype seems to be building even as some don’t quite understand what this game really entails. One user went on to say, “This is the first time I’m hearing about this game, can someone explain it?” While another joked, “Players after beating the game for the 65th time” with a gif of somebody just looking completely drained.

So what about Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy? It is a choice-based narrative-adventure where A LOT of your choices matter. You are thrown into an intense academy environment where even the slightest decision can turn the story around. Besides, with a hundred endings, and counting, the game is basically infinite in replay value.

The player community wonders how big a factor actual luck is in some endings, or if it boils down to pure strategic domination. One fan said, “The more stories, the more fun it gets,” which honestly, I feel.

Not everybody is sold, though. “That creator wants to remove “what-if” conversations from gamer communities,” said another…which is a point, for sure. But then again, most answers are pure hype. Even the slightly confused “Excuse me, how many endings?” tweets are special spice for the chaotic vibes surrounding this game.

In short, Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is shaping up to be one of those games that either consumes your life or makes you question reality. So the more the creator plans to jazz it up with every new ending, the crazier it becomes. Whether you’re in this for storytelling, replay value, or just for the absurdity of a 100+ ending game, one thing is for sure: it’s going to be quite a ride!
