POTENTIAL CHOICES SPOILER WARNING IF PEOPLE WANT TO FIGURE IT OUT THEMSELVES!!
I got the 3rd bad ending/all endings, if I remember correctly, the best way to get it is to act neutral. Not nice, or overly suspicious, just SUPER neutral towards him.
Before you let him in the car, ask more questions and THEN let him get in. Once he’s inside, don’t pry or ask him about his family AT ALL or try to “confirm his car problems”. When there’s an option to change/divert the topic, always change it. Just focus on the college life and road isolation questions only, even if you have to choose and re-ask them multiple times.
Options I chose:
“Pays the bills” “yeah, it sucks” “someone would” All college life questions are safe Ilya “this kind of weather” question Choose: “Annoyance” For isolation of the road Always choose: “Like we’re the last people on earth”
Once you finally get to the MC saying: “So, Oakhaven” Ilya will mention “Car troubles. Out of nowhere.” choose the “hesitate” option. Once he tries to explain the “inside joke” about maple street, choose “stay silent”. After the interaction, immediately try messing with the radio.
Once you get to the green sign, take the exit, head into the gas station to ask for help or rethink in order to ask for help. DO NOT PLAY IT COOL OR COMPLY WITH ILYA, grab the cashier’s wrist, and then try to run.
That’s how you’ll get the 3rd bad ending. It’s the saddest ending IMO T_T
