Just curious if sometime in the future there'll be a guide for the endings?

I'm desperate for one! Have just finished my first play through with Markus and only managed to achive 2 of his cgs, not even his nsfw one! Guess I got the not-so-good ending too since Saorise ruled over and the other houses were forced to join or leave, when my Markus left me with his toy shop and went on a "vacation". I want to replay but honestly, I have no idea what's going on, he was so hard to read and with all that visions and vivid dreams in between, I don't know what to choose anymore. T_T
Many people are reporting the same problems on the Steam forums. Hopefully once the developers have had some rest they can start looking at tracking and applying some bug fixes.
Some of the faction increases and decreases seem wonky. When meeting the 'mistaken identity Marcus' (The Marcus with a 'C') in Saturnalia, as an Iscari, all combination of dialogue responses lead to a significant Golgotha faction decrease. The only way to avoid the large faction decrease is to choose the initial option, "I'd rather not, actually." and avoid the encounter entirely. *shrugs* Maybe that's not a bug but just Golgotha weirdness working as intended!
I've gotten two different endings for Markus (1 & 3( but neither one of them seemed very happy. I'm baffled. Usually the first ending is the "good" one, but seems like not in this case?
Also, agreeing on the faction stuff being buggy. I supported the Gols the whole way, worked for Andrei, accrued positive standing, said he was going to win the war, and for some reason, Randal turned up in my endgame and stomped the opposition, despite my standing with the Mavvar being much lower than it was with the Gols. Plus, there was a weird bug where they said something about a confrontation between Lazarus and Andrei, even though L was already dead by that point.
I wasn't expecting traditional happy endings. Maybe lukewarm ambiguous endings at most but there's so many, I'm glad it's not just me thinking there's still some bugs around. I got Markus' 3rd ending and didn't think anything suspicious until I only got Heath's 1st and 2nd ending. I'm still confused on what gets the 3rd ending and I noticed when I tried to join the Golga I ended up with Mavaar? So maybe I'll wait until this gets addressed before starting Randal.
I can't even remember, it's been a while. I thnk the 1st ending was with Iscari and the 2nd was for Mavaar since the 3rd is for Gols. Are you in a relationship with Heath in these playthroughs? What happened during the endings, because in both 1 and 2 there's nothing special happening. Just mentions of how he disappeared after the last battle and you talk with the leader on how you feel about it so idk if you've received something different during the end.
Spoilers (I guess)
Ultimately (Marcus special) it boils down to some extremely meta bs about the world not being real and everything being subject to change.
End spoilers
Personally I didn't find the endings in any way satisfying.
That aside, no, no happy endings - I think MC being the new leader of LA mosquitoes is as high as it gets. So don't break your back trying to find fault within your play style.
Indeed, there are 4 endings (Saorise, Randal, Andrei, MC being the new ruler), and without spoiling things, you need to see how your LI ends up acting in different situations to get "special" endings (emphasis on Sao and Randal).
