Room 801 Endings Guide

Room 801 uses its hallway rule as the main part of the game. You need to check the area, find strange changes, and choose the correct path. The story follows Hiyori Yasaka, who becomes trapped in a strange company housing area after a scary encounter.

The main rule is easy to understand. If you notice an anomaly, return to Room 1. If there is no anomaly, go to the elevator. Your choices during these sections decide your progress.

Follow the Main Rule
The most important part of Room 801 is the hallway check. Do not treat every trip to the elevator as safe. First look at the doors, walls, objects, lights, and other details.
If something looks different, go back to Room 1. If the hallway looks normal, use the elevator and continue.

Watch for Strange Changes
The game has many possible anomalies. Gameplay videos show examples such as a running ghost, footsteps, a wrong poster, a hanging figure, a black box, a sealed door, handprints, a changed elevator, room number changes, a newspaper change, and a flickering lamp.
Some changes are large and easy to see. Others are small. A quick look may not be enough, so compare the hallway with what you saw before.

Return to Room 1
When you find an anomaly, return to Room 1 instead of going to the elevator. This is one of the main rules given to the player.
A Japanese guide also says that discovered anomalies can later appear in the game menu for replay after the game is cleared.

Continue Toward the Elevator
When there is no anomaly, take the elevator. Keep the same rule for each new section. Do not change your choice just because the hallway looks strange or dark. Look for an actual change.
The elevator can also have its own strange event, so check it before you move ahead.

Reach the Final Floor
The available walkthrough information states that the player continues down to the first floor. After reaching that floor, the guide says to move toward the right side to reach the ending.
The exact ending details can depend on the game version or release, so avoid assuming that every third-party Android copy has the same story result.

After the Ending
Room 801 has an anomaly replay feature after clear progress, according to a Japanese gameplay guide. This gives you a chance to check the strange events again instead of finding them only during the main route.

Final Tip
The best way to reach the ending is to follow the basic rule every time. Check the hallway first. Find an anomaly and return to Room 1. See no anomaly and go to the elevator. Keep this rule in mind and pay attention to small details.
