I'm Here For You grants one of several prewritten endings and achievements if a player has done all three chapters! The ending achieved depends on your choices throughout IHFY. For instance, Positive Chapter 1/Negative Chapter 2/Positive Chapter 3 grants a different ending than Positive Chapter 1/Positive Chapter 2/Positive Chapter 3. There are some bonus ending types in certain scenarios that add onto other endings or override the ending entirely.
Positive Chapter 1, Positive Chapter 2, Positive Chapter 3:
The Mymber - Aihuu - takes your hand, and the Leyline begins to fade. Death turns away, understanding, facing her own enemy. All fades into a dreamlike hue.
You wake up in your bed surrounded by two strangers and one Patron. The Mymber gives you a wink and crawls off your chest as the short doctor grins widely - you think xhe's a doctor, anyways, judging by the AED in xir hands.
"Welcome back to us," Grins the taller Ixi beside xir. Despite their cool demeanor, they were... clearly worried. Death's words about there being many before you come back to you. Maybe these two can help you.
Ending: Guiding Mymber
Positive Chapter 1, Positive Chapter 2, Negative Chapter 3
You're dead. You've been dead, and you don't have long to process it. But... it's okay. Maybe you could learn to like it here, once the Deathtrap is taken care of. The Necropolis was a lovely place, if it was filled with ghosts again it would be such a sight! You could head back there when things are calmer, you could explore, and if you're a ghost, maybe the spirits here would be more accepting.
It's going to be okay. You nod at Death.
Ending: Acceptance
Positive Chapter 1, Negative Chapter 2, Positive Chapter 3
Death turns away, understanding, facing her own enemy. All fades into a dreamlike hue.
You're... in your own room again. Was it all a dream? You feel weak, exhausted, and it takes you a minute to get to your feet. Stumbling to the hallway, you hear a commotion coming from your kitchen. A pair talking amongst themselves?
Before you check it out, you stop in your bathroom, washing your face. The sink takes on a strange hue as you lean over it, a blue glow overtaking everything. Looking up, you see a figure behind you - no, you see the entire Necropolis reflected in your mirror.
Your door opens, a little doctor walking in, and the illusion vanishes.
Ending: Necropolis Dream
Positive Chapter 1, Negative Chapter 2, Negative Chapter 3
This... can't be real. You back away from Death, from the amalgamation of vines behind Her, from all of it. You only realize you're running when you start stumbling over rocks and vines below you. Still, you don't stop. There has to be a way out of here.
You slow down, exhausted, and find yourself in the bathroom stalls of the Necropolis again. Something's changed, however - sounds surround you, filling the hallways again. You look to the mirror, cupping your lack of face in both hands.
Another figure comes up behind you, clapping you on the shoulder. Something twitches on their cheekbones like a smile.
"It's gonna be a long afterlife, kid," They say. "Try to get used to it."
Ending: Of The Lost
Negative Chapter 1, Positive Chapter 2, Positive Chapter 3
Death turns away, understanding, facing her own enemy. All fades into a dreamlike hue.
You're... in your own room again. Was it all a dream? You feel weak, exhausted, and it takes you a minute to get to your feet. Stumbling to the hallway, you hear a commotion coming from your kitchen. A pair talking amongst themselves?
As you stumble down the hallway, more noise rumbles up from behind you. A cacophony begins to pour down the hallway, rumbling and growing, until you can't bear it anymore. You turn.
You see nothing. Breath catches in your throat as someone claps you on the shoulder.
"We thought you were gone," Whispers a voice. You turn to find a lop-eared stranger gazing down at you, trying to hide the relief on their face behind a mask of stoicism.
Ending: Haunting Whispers<p>
Negative Chapter 1, Positive Chapter 2, Negative Chapter 3
This isn't right. This can't be the end. You back away from Death, from the amalgamation of vines behind Her, from all of it. You only realize you're running when you start stumbling over rocks and vines below you. Still, you don't stop. There has to be a way out of here.
You slow down, exhausted, and find yourself in the bathroom stalls of the Necropolis again. The mirror is... no longer a mirror, however. You bang on the pane of glass, staring through a window between worlds down at your own body. Two strangers sit on the bed, dejected. You bang your fists on the glass again, and the strangers look up. Emboldened, you slam your fists down, and the glass cracks.
You fall through.
You're in your home again. The strangers walk past you, leaving you beside your body, only seeing the shattered remains of the window before them.
Ending: Poltergeist
Negative Chapter 1, Negative Chapter 2, Positive Chapter 3
Death turns away, understanding, facing her own enemy. All fades into a dreamlike hue.
You're... in your own room. You remember... what do you remember? Your head is killing you. You rub your face and find yourself... surprised, almost, to feel it there. Your heart quickens as visions of vines and corpses flood you. You died. You died, why are you back here? Why is everything so hazy?
Steadying your breath, you close your eyes tightly. It was just a dream. It wasn't even a vivid one, you'll forget it in a few minutes. Everything will be fine.
Ending: Nightmare
Negative Chapter 1, Negative Chapter 2, Negative Chapter 3
You aren't about to let Death have all the fun. Readying yourself, you stride up beside her and prepare to face down the Deathtrap's massive final incarnation. A twitch of surprise crosses the Guardian, but She stands tall beside you.
Just because you're dead doesn't mean you have nothing to fight for. You may as well fight far more than you did in life - it could be fun, and it looks like there's plenty of dangers down here to test your limits.
The beast's glowing, swirling head begins to scream. It's time to kill in the land of the dead.
Ending: Vengeful Ghost
Ending type B is a bonus type that shows up after the main ending, but before any instances of Ending Type C. Its achievement will apply with any other obtained achievements.
[uses Vengeful Ghost as base by default]
Both positive and negative ending types for chapter 1 and 2, Negative Chapter 3
You know the Leyline well by now, and you're not about to let anything take you down in here. You've walked these halls over and over, and you belong here. This thing doesn't.
You reach inside yourself, pulling out pure energy, and as your arm pulls back out, it does so as a grim reaper's blade. Leaping to attention, you carve across the trunk of the beast, creating a line of blue along its serpentine gut. Thorns spill out, threatening to drown you, but the fool beast can't suffocate what can't breathe. Death steps forward beside you, shooting out a beam of concentrated energy into the sun between the creature's jaws, and She pulls like she's handling a lasso. Down comes the creature's head, and back goes your arm.
With a whip of your wrist, you dig in deep, hot blue gunk spilling out of the Deathtrap. You slice again, and again, pulp and thorns and all manner of mess spitting forth along the stones and your fur and Death's energy. You hack and grate and tear until suddenly your scythe meets the breeze.
The creature's head is gone.
Ending: Reaper
[uses Mymber Guide as base by default]
Both positive and negative ending types for chapter 1 and 2, Positive Chapter 3
The tall, lop-eared stranger on your bed is Black Rabbit - they give this information reluctantly, as if frustrated by it - and the little one is Luminol, who's actually a medical examiner rather than a doctor, but xhe did first aid anyways. The two fill you in on what happened - or at least the past few hours - and don't seem to expect much from you.
You've got a lot to tell them.
Black Rabbit reacts the most to the news that you've been given life to protect others like you. A guilty look crosses their face as they peer out the window.
"Yeah, you... you haven't noticed, have you?" The Rabbit mutters. "Everyone around town has been winding up like you. Dead and gone with no warning, with that Mymber on their door."
As if on cue, Aihuu starts to wander out of your room. You feel a pull as well, as if your head is going to pull itself off of your neck.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" You say, throwing yourself off the side of the bed. "There might be time."
Ending: Resurrected
More than one ending type for one chapter, but not Completionist, Reaper, or Resurrected - eg, Positive Chapter 1, Negative Chapter 2, Positive Chapter 2, Negative Chapter 3, or more than one path (but same karma type) per chapter.
Positive Chapter 3
As you head down your hall, you catch a glimpse of something pale. Out of the corner of your eye, another Rixixi stares at you - or perhaps ‘stares' isn't the right word. Their face is gone, but they're facing straight at you. You slowly walk through your house, watching as more ghosts face you, peering out from your closet, your bathroom, the kitchen cabinets.
As you walk outside, you find out where they're all coming from. You've been living in a town full of ghosts, and they're all wondering so much about you.
Negative Chapter 3
Something odd goes on as your time in the Leyline passes. You find that you've never seen anyone from your hometown. Perhaps any that died passed before the Leyline merged with the liminal plane fully, but even if that's the case...
That doesn't explain the one time you saw a mass exodus of ghosts, all spilling out towards Sxriix. All spilling out somewhere familiar. You remembered that horizon line, you used to watch the sun set over it. What's going on out there?
Ending: Ghosts of the Past
ENDING TYPE: COMPLETIONIST
COMPLETIONIST REPLACES MAIN ENDING. IF USING ENDING C, USES "COMPLETIONIST-C", LISTED BELOW
Positive Chapter 1, Negative Chapter 1, Positive Chapter 2, Negative Chapter 2, Positive Chapter 3, Negative Chapter 3
Something tells you that you have to go back. Call it a Feeling or a Pull, you don't know what it is, but something is happening up there. Aihuu holds your hand, concern spread cold across their little face.
There's something odd about Death as they turn away from you. You've never known a Guardian or a Horseman could seem afraid, especially one without a face. Even so, they turn away, and you're... slipping? You're gone. The leyline, all of it, is gone.
You wake up in your bed surrounded by two strangers and one Patron. The Mymber squeezes your hand as they crawl off your chest, but the short doctor just grins widely - you think xhe's a doctor, anyways, judging by the AED in xir hands. That pull is still ringing in your ears, you can't focus, it's almost an audible pulse now. There's a rumble in the ground.
Before the doctor can introduce xirself, you fling yourself out of bed and run outside, passing by a stranger drinking from your faucet. The doctor calls for you to wait, but you're already out the door. The pulse rings out again, and the rumble cracks the ground.
A vine springs forth from the earth.
Ending: Completionist

You slide into your kitchen, passing by a stranger drinking from your faucet. The doctor calls for you to wait, but you're already out the door. Your breath - you have breath again - catches in your throat as you see all of the ghosts living in your town. They gather in a circle just before you on a street corner, silent and watching. The pulse rings out again, and the rumble cracks the ground.
A vine springs forth from the earth, a blue glow below it.
