19** Recording Failed: The 'Bad' ending, achieved by [[spoiler:failing to collect and place all the jizo statues on their altars before using the phone booth to call the police.]] Shortly after the player finds a phone booth and calls the police, [[spoiler:the Inunaki appears, and [[JumpScare lunges at the player]],]] [[CameraAbuse cracking the camera lens in the process]]. The police arrive, but find only a camcorder with a broken lens and unrecoverable files.
20** Recording Successful: The 'Good' ending, achieved by [[spoiler:helping the trapped dog, as well as finding and placing all the jizo statues on their altars, then using the phone booth to call the police.]] The protagonist walks back out to the main road, and a police car drives up to him. He then checks his camera, only to find [[spoiler:all his files replaced by a cryptic recording of a girl. Frustrated, the protagonist [[HereWeGoAgain declares he'll go back again before the tunnel is sealed up.]]]]
21** Recording Stopped: The 'Secret' ending, achieved by [[spoiler:helping the trapped dog, then taking a right at the split before the phone booth and going all the way down to the end.]] The protagonist finds [[ApocalypticLog an extra note]], complaining about [[spoiler:[[TakeThat people who come to the village purely for thrill seeking purposes]], and expressing a desire to put the villagers' souls to rest, as well as [[ShootTheDog the dead body of the dog they'd helped]]. A [[StringyHairedGhostGirl ghost]] then appears, chasing the player all the way out to the road, where they are then hit by a car.]]
22** Chickened Out: If the player goes back to their car before climbing to the tunnels they have the option to Exit, doing so results in a loud static noise as static fills the camera.
