The five endings in Ballads at Midnight branch from a compact set of late-game decisions involving whether you stay with Lucius, accept vampirism, and how you ultimately respond to his curse. Because most earlier dialogue does not change the ending path, a few well-placed saves are enough to see every conclusion without replaying the full story. Follow the common choices to the first major branch, then reload the listed checkpoints to cover Lucius’s vampire and human outcomes before finishing with the independent ending where you leave the estate.
Ending #1 – Vampire Ending – I Didn’t See That Coming

Most people buy me a drink before they bring out the gag. (Wink.)
