Endings[]

True End 1: Lost in the Forest[]

HG-truend1

If Hansel takes the far left route, he notices Gretel isn't there anymore. He tries to walk back the way he came to find her, but can't tell which way he came. He wanders deeper and deeper into the forest, until he eventually trips on Gretel's abandoned bow. Realizing that Gretel is most likely dead and too weak to go on, Hansel sits down by a tree and waits for death.

True End 2: You're Still Alive?[]

HG-truend2

If Hansel takes the middle left route, the kids come across a mysterious cave and decide to go through it. When they enter, Gretel vanishes, leaving Hansel all alone. He emerges from the cave to find himself near a pond and is approached by a mysterious girl. She pities him and asks whether he wants to get out of the forest, but also warns him that the future he wants may not be there. If he says "Yes", she sets him on the right path. When Hansel finally makes it home, he's just in time to overhear a conversation between his parents and Gretel, in which the parents praise Gretel for successfully leaving Hansel behind in the woods, to which Gretel responds that she can do anything if it makes her parents happy. Gretel notices Hansel outside and gives him a malicious smirk.

True End 3: Revenge[]

HG-truend3

If Hansel takes the middle left route and says "No" to the mysterious girl, she leaves him with the cryptic advice to think about what his loved one would want. After a long trek through the woods, Hansel manages to get back to the house, but is broken up over having lost Gretel. He kills their parents with an axe as revenge for Gretel's and his abandonment, then commits suicide to be with Gretel again.

True End 4: Strange House[]

HG-truend4

If Hansel takes the right path, the kids arrive at a mysterious cave and choose to enter it. When coming out at the far side, they spot a wooden house in the distance. Gretel discovers a hole in the wall and looks through, beckoning Hansel to do the same. The house is full of naked adults having an orgy, though Hansel is too young to understand. While Hansel is mortified by it, Gretel is visibly fascinated and wants to go inside.

One of the adults hears them and steps outside and Gretel asks whether Hansel and her can join the games in the house. Gretel agrees, while Hansel runs away in fear. It's only when he's forced to stop for breath that he realizes he basically abandoned Gretel and falls into despair. Until he hears a familiar voice calling out to him. Gretel appears, having apparently followed Hansel and calls him out for leaving her behind. She then turns into a monster and attacks him.

Bad End: A Happy Tale[]

HG-badend

If Hansel takes the middle right path, the kids come across a strange house made of candy. When they start to eat from it, an old woman steps out and invites them in. Hansel and Gretel eat until they fall asleep, at which point the old woman reveals that she is a witch who eats children. She locks Hansel in a giant bird cage and forces Gretel to prepare the stove and pot for her. When she demands Gretel to crawl in the stove to ignite it, Gretel says she doesn't know how.

The witch grows impatient and crawls into the stove to light it herself. When the fire is burning, Gretel pushes the witch all the way in, burning her to death. She then frees Hansel, who stuffs his pockets with the treasures in the house. When he tries to leave, Gretel stops him and tells him they don't have to go back to their old home anymore and that the treasures now belong to them alone. She threatens Hansel not to leave her and expresses joy over a future of making love to her brother in the candy house.

Trivia[]

Deletedhs
  • This is the second entry in the “Dark Side” fairytale series by Charon, the first one being The Dark Side of Red Riding Hood.
  • When Hansel escapes from the orgy house in True End 4, he imagines Gretel being gangraped by men. For some reason, Gretel has breasts, implying the siblings are older than they look. This is in the Japanese and EN patch version, and was deleted from other translations.
