secret ending
Concealed final chapter
A secret ending is an alternate conclusion to a video game, film, or story that players or viewers only discover by meeting hidden conditions—completing optional objectives, making specific choices, or finding concealed content.
Games often have multiple endings, with the secret one rewarding thorough exploration or replay: I finally unlocked the secret ending after my third playthrough.
