Have you played through Penny Black and want to see the other endings? Or maybe just curious about some of the ‘secret’ choice inputs you can make? Here’s a Penny Black Endings, Choices and Rewards guide to the best of my knowledge with a few spoiler warnings and hints!
Penny Black Endings, Choices and Rewards
Welcome to our Penny Black Endings, Choices and Rewards guide. Some choices including the ‘secret’ ones sometimes have multiple ways to input them. For example instead of typing “PHONE” you can type “CALL” or “TEXT.” I won’t be listing every single iteration for those choices.
Some of the ‘secret’ choices are described previously in some manner, so pay attention to the story. Others aren’t and you have to think of a logical solution the game accepts. Other times the choice is alluded to and hinted at, kinda like a riddle, but the answer is never directly written in the story.
