Introduction
This guide lists all of the possible epilogues in The Letter and the criteria for unlocking them, as well as tips for reaching some of the more difficult epilogues.

It's tricky to pin down the exact criteria for what unlocks each epilogue, so while I've done my best, it's entirely possible I've made some mistakes. If you find an error anywhere in the guide, please leave a comment to let me know!

This is a fairly advanced guide that assumes you've already finished the game a few times. As such,
this guide contains unmarked spoilers. In addition, this guide will not explain how to get a particular character to be alive or dead, or how to reach specific chapter endings. If you're not sure how to do that, please check another guide or the forums for more information.
Relationship Points
The majority of the epilogues are based on your relationship points between certain characters. However, since the relationship bars in the game don't show numbers, it can be difficult to tell exactly how many points you have. In the guide I use "very high", "high", and "low" to describe the point values you'll need, so I'm going to take a moment to explain what I mean by those.

"Very high"
You need very high points to trigger romantic relationships. This means your relationship bar needs to be either at maximum or very close to maximum. If possible, max it out to be safe.





"High"
You need high points to trigger positive friendship epilogues. This can range from a bit above the starting value to maximum. You can get away with being only a few points above the starting value, but you're better off going a few points higher to be safe.







"Low"
You need low points to trigger negative friendship epilogues. Anything lower than "high" counts as low. Keep your points at or below the starting value and you'll be fine.





Some epilogues require particular point values for multiple characters and can be a bit tricky to get. If you're having trouble, I recommend using my Relationship Point Guide to plan your choices out in advance.

  • Rebecca alive
  • high Luke/Rebecca points, but not high enough for romance
  • Isabella dead or in coma
  • Zachary and Ashton dead

Marianne & Luke - Variant 1
  • Marianne alive
  • high Marianne/Luke points, but not high enough for romance
  • Hannah dead or possessed

Zachary & Rebecca
  • Zachary and Rebecca alive
  • high Zachary/Rebecca points
It is impossible to earn Zachary/Rebecca points when Isabella is alive. Instead, this epilogue is unlocked automatically when Isabella is alive. This is the easiest way to get it.

Ashton & Rebecca
  • Rebecca and Ashton alive
  • high Rebecca/Ashton points, but not high enough for romance

Luke & Rebecca - Variant 2
  • Rebecca alive
  • high Luke/Rebecca points, but not high enough for romance
  • Isabella, Zachary, and Ashton alive

Rebecca & Isabella
  • Isabella and Rebecca alive
  • high Isabella/Rebecca points

Zachary & Isabella

  • Zachary and Ashton alive
  • high Zachary/Ashton points

  • Isabella and Ashton alive
  • high Isabella/Ashton points, but not high enough for romance
  • Rebecca alive, and in a romantic relationship with Ashton

Ashton & Isabella - Variant 2
  • Isabella and Ashton alive
  • high Isabella/Ashton points, but not high enough for romance
  • Rebecca dead, or alive but not a in romantic relationship with Ashton

Friendship Positive
  • Isabella, Zachary, Rebecca, and Ashton alive
  • high Isabella/Zachary points
  • high Isabella/Rebecca points
  • high Isabella/Ashton points
  • high Zachary/Ashton points
  • high Rebecca/Ashton points
Because it is impossible to gain Zachary/Rebecca points while Isabella is alive, no Zachary/Rebecca points are needed.

Romantic relationships do not matter -- Ashton can be dating Isabella, Rebecca, or neither.

There are several choices that will cause you to gain points with one character while losing points with another, so watch out for those. In particular, there is one choice in Ashton's chapter that will earn a lot of points with either Isabella or Rebecca, but lose a lot of points with the other. There is no way to avoid this choice, so make sure you have both of their points as high as possible before you get there.

  • Hannah alive
  • Hannah chose to stay with Luke in Chapter 2
  • high Hannah/Luke points, but not high enough for romance

  • Rebecca and Ashton alive
  • low Rebecca/Ashton points
  • Ashton rejected Rebecca's confession in Chapter 6
To get Ashton to reject Rebecca during the Chapter 6 confession, choose to spend time with Ashton instead of going to dinner with Luke in Chapter 5, but still keep your Rebecca/Ashton points low. You should get the Stark Refusal achievement during the confession scene.

Rebecca & Isabella
  • Isabella and Rebecca alive
  • low Isabella/Rebecca points

Zachary & Isabella
  • Isabella and Zachary alive
  • low Isabella/Zachary points

Zachary & Ashton
  • Zachary and Ashton alive

Friendship Negative
  • Isabella, Zachary, Rebecca, and Ashton alive
  • low Isabella/Zachary points
  • low Isabella/Rebecca points
  • low Isabella/Ashton points
  • low Zachary/Ashton points
  • low Rebecca/Ashton points
Because it is impossible to lose Zachary/Rebecca points while Isabella is alive, no Zachary/Rebecca points are needed.

Just pick the negative option on every choice and you should be fine.

i need help getting bad friendship ashton x rebecca variant 1

I discovered this game very late. I really enjoyed it!

For anyone else playing in 2025 or later, the instructions in this guide are not enough to get the Zach/Hannah Romance ending. You also need to show Rose the letter as Isabella. I didn't test it, but this might also be true for the Marianne/Hannah Romance.

Not showing Rose the letter does not work even if Hannah and Luke's relationship is bad enough for the bad friendship end by the end of the game.

Thank you for this guide! I kept doing things and wondering just what I was missing in terms of getting Variant 2 of the breakup between Luke and Hannah.

@Masqu3rade i'm not sure if it's going to help, but i've just finished playing with this ending, and here's what i had
1) Hannah was possessed
2) in Hannah's chapter (before possession) i chose every option when it was possible to have a better relationship with Marianne
3) in Marianne's chapter i chose every option when it was possible to have a better relationship with Luke
4) then, at the end, i got an epilogue for Luke/Marianne romance and Marianne all alone

good luck! if something goes wrong again, you can message me and i'll send you screenshots of my choices :LIS_butterfly:

I can’t get the Marriane Alone ending, and I’m really not sure what I’m doing wrong. ;-;
TheBardic 17 Aug, 2019 @ 6:40pm 
@Farpoint Toys I don't know if you have already figured it out but yes you can have more than one romance so long as there is no conflict so you can have ZachxHannah, AshxBella and (depending on if people are alive or dead) LukexMarianne or LukexBecca all in one game. However, you can't have a ZachxHannah AND MariannexHannah at the same time the game will end up choosing the person with the higher stats and with Hannah that can also end up being Luke's stats as well.
Farpoint Toys 27 Jun, 2019 @ 7:45pm 
Hey, does anyone know if you can have multiple romances if they do not conflict with one another? Or do you get only one? For example, can I follow both the AshxBella AND the ZachxHannah routes and get both, or would I end up with just one or the other?
TheBardic 4 May, 2019 @ 12:25am 
Hey anyone who can PLEASE help me figure out a way to trigger the Rebecca Visits Ashton variant 2!!! I have tried the combinations mentioned and others please if anyone knows let me know
evren 14 Apr, 2019 @ 10:09am 
People looking for the epilogue missing from the above guide right after Friendship Positive : let me know if the steps below do not work for you, and I can try to figure it out to update it.
evren 14 Apr, 2019 @ 10:05am 
If you are like me and had one epilogue left after Friendship Positive and don't know how to get it--I just unlocked it organically (without even trying). I'm not ENTIRELY sure what combination was supposed to happen but here's roughly what I did.

[Missing] Friendship Good: Luke & Rebecca Variant 3
For my run, I was knocking out the Easy Mode QTE achievement. So:
- Everyone lives (idk if this has an effect on it. at the very least Hannah, Luke, and Rebecca should live, but I recommend keeping everyone alive since that's what worked for me)
- Hannah chooses all positive responses to Luke
- Hannah chooses to work for her happy ending (NOT take a break)
- Luke chooses all positive responses to Hannah
- Rebecca has high points for Luke (but not high enough for romance)

See below for PARTS 2 & 3 of this guide.
