More about this game
In Craig's Choice 1999, you navigate a tense memory at a quinceañera where a joyful game is interrupted by an adult named Todd. Your goal is to guide Craig through a sudden confrontation by selecting his responses across 5 story beats. Each decision shifts Craig's internal meters: Innocence, Fear, and Defiance. The challenge lies in balancing these stats to protect his friend Jack without breaking under pressure. A run ends after the fifth beat, revealing one of three possible endings based on your final meter values.
Tips
- Keep a close eye on the meters; reaching at least 60 Defiance and 52 Innocence unlocks the Defiant Protector ending.
- Avoid choices that agree with Todd, as letting Fear reach 58 or letting Innocence drop to 35 or below triggers the Canon Broken Mindset ending.
- Read the subtext under each choice carefully, as it hints at which stats might increase or decrease, such as choosing to Laugh with him to boost Innocence by 12 points.
Questions
How many endings are there?
There are three distinct endings to discover: Defiant Protector, Canon Broken Mindset, and Secret Ally. You can view your unlocked paths in the Memory Gallery from the main menu.
How do I unlock the Secret Ally ending?
You will get the Secret Ally ending if you finish the 5 beats without meeting the extreme stat requirements for the other two endings. It acts as the middle ground where Craig cannot confront Todd aloud but keeps a private truth alive.
What are the starting stats for Craig?
Craig begins the story with 70 Innocence, 10 Fear, and 20 Defiance. Your choices over the 5 beats will drastically alter these starting numbers.
