All endings

Probably Stolen has 14 endings. Only one is a win: buying out your store. The other 13 end the run — from missing rent to being lynched, framed or blown up. Titles and texts are the game’s own end-screen texts.

Buyout

You sign the deed, and with it, the weight of the rent vanishes, alongside the shadow of the Landlord. The shop is yours, free and clear, a hard-earned victory in a world that’s never been kind. For the first time, you stand in control of your future, with nothing but your own ambition to guide you.

With a mortgage: You sign the final papers, and with it, the last chains that bound you to the loan shark are broken. The store is truly yours now, free from the threat of repossession, free from the shadow of the underworld. You’ve beaten the odds, survived the grind, and come out on top. The future is yours.

You Defaulted On Your Rent

As a result of failing to pay your rent, you were evicted. Abandoned by your customers, your contact, and even The Mentor, you are forced to go back to the life of a scavenger. It isn’t long before the Store is rented out to somebody new, and you find yourself standing on the other side of the counter, haggling for just a few credits more.

Arrested

For crimes against the station, the Security arrested you. You were locked up in the brig. While serving your sentence, your store was leased to someone else. After your release, with the store lost, you went back to the life of a struggling scavenger.

Executed

For capital crimes against the station, the Security arrested and executed you. After your execution your store was leased to someone else. Your customers quickly forgot about you, and in time, there was no trace of you left on the Station.

Repossession

It’s the end of the road. The store is taken from you, and with it, everything you fought for slips through your fingers. The loan shark’s cold grip tightens as the walls close in, leaving you bankrupt, homeless, and with nothing but a bitter reminder of how quickly everything can be lost in this unforgiving world.

Lynched

After one too many offences against the Lower Levels, a mob of angry customers stormed your store. They took everything you owned and you were thrown out of the airlock. This is justice in the Lower Levels.

Framed

Arrested by the Security on some trumped up charges, you were thrown in the brig. The store was seized and sold to pay for a large fine. You were released after a few weeks, but the store was long gone. You went back to the life of a struggling scavenger.

Assassinated

After one too many offences against the Upper Levels, a hitman was contracted by the elites of the station to take you out for good.

Sentinel Collapse

After skipping one too many Immunivax injectors, your faulty immune system turned on your own body. It wasn’t an illness that killed you, it was yourself.

Bombed

After being declared as an enemy of the Revolution, a bomb was planted in your store. The explosion destroyed the store and killed you. The ruin of your store served as a warning to others who would dare to oppose the Revolution.

Retired

The Cartel decided that you were no longer worth keeping around. You were retired from the business.

No Permit

You weren’t able to secure a vendor permit and were forced to close your store.

In version 0.46D this ending has a text but nothing in the game triggers it.

Augmented

The Aug population reached a critical point and now operates openly. During the night, a group of Augs broke into your store and forcibly installed an augmentation chip. Security never arrived. The implant activates. You are only a passenger in your own body.

Meltdown

The makeshift reactor finally gave out due to a criminal level of neglect. The blast took the Store and the block around it. Security is opening an investigation into Dr. Jackson’s involvement.
