Gunnoid-0 eventually breaks down and dies, never realizing his potential outside of Mechanto Isles. The credits then roll. The ending decisions are skipped altogether if you're playing as ????

Trivia[]

  • In Lunar Shadow's normal ending, the player is taken to the Castle Ruins map. If they somehow transport themselves to that map outside of the ending and fall off either the left or right sides of the map, they'll be unable to get back due to falling out of bounds. At the very bottom of the map is a hidden message: "Kim Tyranto 2015".
  • Gun's second ending (Our New Leader) was originally going to be a shorter version of the game's true ending (Glory to Mechanto). This has been changed so that the third ending takes place after the second ending due to how it requires you to defeat a post-game boss.
  • Gun's fourth ending (Anticharged Suicide) is a reference to one glitch during Gun v1's development; it was found that placing #34 as the Event number of the bed instead of #19 causes it to kill you when you interact with it. As such, it was made into a full ending in Gun v2 though the name was slightly changed in Gun v3.
  • AuroraDash revealed on 11/12/21 in the Things You Knew/Never Knew thread that the Diabolical Ending was inspired by the game 7 minutes, developed by Tuuka Virtanen.
