Walkthrough Tip #42 (The Answer to Life, the Universe, and Gaming): Goodbye Eternity is a visual novel where you

• Do not exit to credits.
• Walk to the edge of the garden. You’ll find a bench.
• Sit down. Wait. A second player will join you—not an NPC. A real person, via co-op.

Their name is displayed: a child you helped save.

The final text scrolls:

“Eternity is not forever. It’s just the time between one life and the next. You gave someone extra. That’s the walkthrough.”

2. Starting Area – The House

1. Wake up in bed – Look around the room.
2. Check the desk – Find a journal (read for lore).
3. Bathroom mirror – Sometimes gives hints or changes based on loop count.
4. Living room – On the table: a clock (note the stopped time).
5. Kitchen – Refrigerator has a magnet with a number (important later).
6. Front door – Locked at first.

Exit house – Find back door key in kitchen drawer or under a plant pot near the entrance.

Troubleshooting: Why Isn't "Extra Life" Working?

If you followed this guide and still got the standard "Neutral" ending, check these common mistakes:

| Mistake | Fix | | :--- | :--- | | Never died in Loop 1 | The Extra Life flag requires at least one confirmed "death reset." Die on purpose. | | Saved the rose | Do not save the rose. You need the ash paradox to trigger the Vault door. | | Erased the wrong memory | Erasing the proposal (gold orb) breaks the timeline permanently. Erase the tutorial memory (small dim orb). | | Didn't smash the glass | The fifth gear does not appear unless you take damage. Smash the console glass. | | Chose blue or red | The green option only appears after you've destroyed the console glass and looked into the mirror. |

Quick Reference: Endings at a Glance

Chapter 3: The Mechanical Gallery & The Labyrinth of Regrets

This chapter is where most players get stuck.

Objective: Retrieve the three memory orbs.

The Gallery is a series of rotating rooms. Each room has a puzzle tied to one of Ezra’s past regrets.

Room 1 - The Betrayal (Chess Puzzle):

• You must sacrifice your queen to win. Move your pawn to E4. The AI will take your bishop. Then move the king’s rook to H5. Checkmate in 3. Orb obtained.

Room 2 - The Abandonment (Mirror Puzzle):

• Use your pocket watch to "stop time" (right-click on PC). Walk through the mirror while time is frozen. On the other side, the orb is in a birdcage. Unlock with code 1442 (found on a torn letter in the previous room).

Room 3 - The Suicide Attempt (Trigger warning - puzzle mechanic):

• The room slowly fills with water. Don’t panic. Swim down to the anchor chain. Pull it three times. A false wall opens. The orb is there. Note: Drowning here counts toward the Extra Life requirement. So let it happen once on purpose, then do it properly on the next loop.

Once you have all three orbs, place them on the altar in the center Gallery. This opens the Ascension Hall.

3. The Town / Outside Areas

Once outside:

• Neighbor’s house – Sometimes has a note with codes.
• Mailbox – Contains a letter from “Aka” or a warning.
• Street lamp – Flickers when close to a “glitch” or event trigger.
• Park – Swing moves by itself; interact with bench for a hidden note.
• School – Locked, but you can find a key near the back fence or inside a trash can.

School interior

• Locker combinations from the magnet number (e.g., 3 digits: 3-17-8 → check fridge note).
• Inside locker: photo or key fragment.
• Principal’s office – Computer password from journal (e.g., birth year or “eternity”).
