* The cult ending, which for a time was only accessible by data-mining, is shocking partially because it seems to come out of nowhere for a game that's heavily been marketed as a heartwarming dad-dating simulator. Joseph is the leader of eldritch {{Cult}}, and has been murdering and driving away the wives in the neighborhood so he can prey on the single men. His children ''and'' Amanda can be seen being [[DemonicPossession possessed by demons]]. The ending was later made playable by customizing the player character a specific way, for the people who were fans of it.

Whatever it is, it's something you can't identify and only vaguely humanoid, so you two, shaken to the core, run away from the place on car and with the lights off to go undetected.
