All PatriotMemoirs Endings

This page catalogs PatriotMemoirs’ 16 endings the way route hunters need — by prerequisite families, not by vague mood alone. The game spreads requirements across 256 decision points and 609 branches, so exact dialogue varies, but flag clusters repeat often enough that completionists can plan replays without guessing randomly. Spoilers follow for epilogue outcomes and late missions.

Use the Ending Checklist while reading. Mark an ending only after the epilogue credits complete and you confirm unique narration, not a minor dialogue variant.

How to read this catalog

Each entry lists:

• Tone — martyrdom, deep cover, resistance triumph, renunciation, or secret.
• Core flags — the earliest reliable forks, not every micro-choice.
• Replay from — where to start your next run to save time.

Cross-link to Critical Choices and Werewolf Game when those events appear in core flags.

Martyrdom and sacrifice family

These endings emphasize that Shangchuan’s long night consumes the people who light candles inside it.

Ending cluster A — The clerk who would not bend publicly
Core flags: refuse or sabotage the Japanese execution order; maintain resistance trust even at cover cost.
Replay from: first execution prompt in mid-act office chain.
Epilogue tone: Zhu Shiming or closest ally dies remembered by handlers, not by occupiers.

Ending cluster B — Self-sacrifice at the wolf table
Core flags: choose self-sacrifice during the werewolf-kill event; prior nightlife intel optional but strengthens epilogue narration.
Replay from: Werewolf Game briefing.
Epilogue tone: survivors carry your name into liberation scenes with mixed guilt.

Ending cluster C — Tokyo bearer without hesitation
Core flags: accept sword-bearer role; prioritize mission success over civilian delay prompts.
Replay from: late Tokyo briefing tree in Critical Choices.
Epilogue tone: strategic victory with personal hollowness; history gets a weapon, not a person.

These endings let Zhu Shiming live by becoming someone he despises.

Ending cluster D — Perfect obedient mask
Core flags: comply with execution order; sacrifice allies when prompted; minimal resistance contact late.

Ending cluster F — Betrayer believed by everyone
Core flags: frame an innocent at werewolf event; leverage gained used for late authorization.

Ending cluster G — Network intact
Core flags: protect named underground contacts through mid-game purges; moderate cover compliance only.

Routing workflow

1. Finish a blind run, log result in Ending Checklist.
2. Pick missing clusters by tone, not letter order.
3. Read cluster replay points above, then open linked walkthrough pages.
4. After two targeted runs, consult Hidden Endings for M–P.
5. Compare emotional payoff with Best Ending if you want one recommended baseline.

PatriotMemoirs endings are not collectibles glued onto a single trunk story. They are the sum of masks you wore convincingly enough that the world believed them — including yourself.
