Snowed Under Ending A and B checklist

Spoilers. Tick Steam-confirmed flags first, then the player-reported B pass.

Ending Checklist

Spoilers. If you have not seen the tower, use the walkthrough instead. Narrative context sits on endings. This page is a list.

Before any ending

  • Game updated (1.06+ for achievement triggers, 1.04+ for tower roof VFX). Patch notes.
  • Manual saves at base camp so a freeze cannot eat the finale.
  • A Friendly Face (met the NPC / Kai loop started).
  • Shovel strong enough for distant snow (upgrade planner).
  • A Signal in the Snow (reached the radio tower).

Ending A pass (confirmed structure)

  • Keep daily Kai conversations instead of silent mining.
  • Read documents you find (helps The Full Story; may help flags).
  • Climb the tower after 1.04 if roof ice misbehaved before.
  • Watch the story scenes. Let Ending A pop on Steam.
  • Do not immediately delete the save.

Ending B pass (player-reported)

Community: B is a resolution after A. A Steam thread asked how to get B after exploring and reading papers. A Japanese review said A is required first, and that flowers after A were confusing.

  • Ending A already unlocked on this journey.
  • Continue or reload into the post-A state instead of a fresh file if the game offers it.
  • Revisit Kai talks and any new dialogue (1.04 added some lines).
  • Finish remaining documents for The Full Story while you look for B.
  • Check story interiors you skipped, including the old building chapter people highlight in endings videos.
  • Let Ending B pop. If it does not, compare a full endings video rather than grinding 100 scraps.

Not on the ending list

  • 100 scraps (Leave Nothing Behind)
  • 20 cans (Prepared for the Storm)
  • All buildings (No Shelter Left Unseen) — still useful for exploration, not named as B
  • Patrons — rare extras, not a documented B key
  • Lost to the Cold — death badge

If nothing pops

  1. Verify Steam is online so achievements can sync.
  2. Re-dump scrap and re-enter the tower after 1.06.
  3. Read known bugs if tools vanished before the finale.
  4. Use the achievements table to see what you actually earned.

This checklist will be updated if Chilla’s Art ever publishes official ending conditions. Until then, it refuses to fake a ritual.

Print the list or copy it. Tick in Steam order, not in fear order. People skip A Friendly Face then wonder why B is silent. People skip saves then wonder why the photo ate the finale. The checklist is boring on purpose. Boring ticks beat a second 7-dollar impulse buy you already own. If a future patch adds a third ending achievement, it will get a new box here rather than a rumor paragraph on social media.

Keep Ending B ticks on a different night if you want to feel the A ending first. The checklist is compatible with that. It is not compatible with deleting the file because flowers looked pretty. Steam is the judge. The wiki is only the list. If your language build skipped a line 1.04 added, update localization via 1.06 before you assume B is impossible.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Can I get B without A?

Players say no. Treat A as the first tick.

Do I need all charms for B?

Not according to named Steam descriptions. Charms are a collectathon; B is a story achievement.

I got A and flowers appeared. Is that B?

Maybe a post-A state. Check Steam. If B did not pop, keep the save and follow the B pass.
