multiple endings
Various possible outcomes
Multiple endings are alternative conclusions to a story, game, or narrative, where different outcomes become available based on choices, paths, or conditions.
Video games popularized the concept: The game has twelve multiple endings depending on your decisions.
Films and books occasionally offer them too, letting audiences choose how the story resolves.
