Chrono Trigger’s Developer Ending
Secret Video Game Endings You (Probably) Never Unlocked
One of the earliest examples of a game with multiple endings, Chrono Trigger offers players 13 possible conclusions based on how they approach the game. These range from the normal, happy ending of the game to one where the title’s protagonist, Chrono, is killed, leaving the rest of the party to venture on without him and save the day.
One of the more memorable endings, however, comes to those willing to take on an exceptionally difficult challenge in new game plus mode. After gaining their first two party members, players can attempt to take on the final boss with the duo, albeit severely under-equipped and with the odds stacked against them. Should they succeed though, they’ll be welcomed into the developer’s room, meeting digitized versions of the game’s development team who are eager to chat, play tricks on you and even invite you to join the “dream team.”
