Good End/True End Guides (SPOILERS!)

Cemetery Mary
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux


The following is a list of guides for getting the Good Endings/True Ending in Cemetery Mary. Please be aware that reading these guides will give you spoilers. Not all of the correct choices are needed to get a good ending, but you need ~70% of the correct choices to get a good ending. Aside from a few different scenes, the True Ending is the same regardless of the route that you achieved it on.

For Twyla’s Good Ending:

  1. When meeting Twyla at the cafe, stay quiet all three times you are given the option.
  2. When in front of the bookstore, tell Twyla that she has a point.
  3. Do NOT become friends with the bookstore owner. The easiest way to do this is by spamming the first option until the bookstore scene is over.
  4. Agree with Twyla that it was right to steal from the bookstore owner by saying “I suppose”.
  5. Lie each time you are able to during Twyla’s interrogation scene.
  6. When Twyla asks for your address, tell her you will be at the cemetery.
  7. When caught by the nurse in the retirement home, do NOT call Twyla over.
  8. Ask Ed how his wife died.
  9. When Twyla talks about the antifreeze sample, simply ask “Analysis”?
  10. When looking for antifreeze in the store, say that “It has to be here”.
  11. Tell Twyla she has a good point when she suspects Reginald over the phone.
  12. When deciding on a ghost to talk to, choose the girl.
  13. Tell the mystery number that you think Twyla is a good person.

  16. Tell Reginald you do not have experience with rodents.
  17. Pretend to talk to ghosts during Twyla’s family dinner.
  18. A broken column headstone represents life cut short.

For Reginald’s Good Ending:

  1. When meeting Reginald, be honest about the kind of book that you want.
  2. When shopping with Reginald, buy him ONLY the tools he asked for--no more and no less. The correct choices are antifreeze, an axe, rat poison, and measuring tape.

  4. After the coffin incident, ask Reginald “Are you sure?” over the phone.

  9. When confronted by Twyla, ask her to “please don’t yell”.
  10. When Mary runs into the alleyway, you need Reginald to show up with an umbrella. There are multiple answer choices that can accomplish this, but one way is by telling Reginald that it is your fault, but asking him to “please don’t” talk to Twyla about it.
  11. When Reginald contacts you after the library scene, ask Reginald if he thinks you are weird.
  12. During the restaurant scene, tell Reginald “I’ve always lived here”.
  13. During the car scene, ask Reginald if he doesn’t like living in Blackwood.
  14. When Reginald asks what your favorite part of the aquarium was, tell him that you liked either the manta ray or the puffer fish.

  16. Call Reginald your best friend.

For Crowven’s Good Ending:

  1. At the beginning of the game, go straight to bed instead of attempting conversation with Crowven at the fireplace.
  2. You have to beat Crowven at the arcade machine. You can accomplish this by clicking the bottom option, top option, and bottom option in that order.
  3. When meeting Crowven’s friends, tell them that you’ve heard great things about them.
  4. When Crowven says he has a plan to get in the club, answer “If you say so.”
  5. When in the bathroom, say that Crowven “doesn’t mean it”.
  6. When meeting Twyla in the bathroom, decline her offer to go to the VIP area.
  7. When Crowven asks if you were bothered by the “Scary Mary” comments, say yes.
