Game description
Dean and Willow, childhood sweethearts, decide to go with their childhood friends to the same university, located in the idyllic coastal town of Red Beach, what seemed to be the beginning of their new lives ends up becoming a nightmare that makes them question their reality and bring repressed memories to light.
Someone, or rather something, has been manipulating them since they were children to go to this city...
v0.2.8b
I'm going to go straight to the point and I'm going to tell you what this version includes:
- 1 event: Romantic night at the hotel
- 1 major event: First visit to the spa.
- This event has several ramifications if willow's corruption is high the scene will be
in one way and if it is low in another.
"but Aedirn why are you telling us this? it's like always isn't it?".
Well... yes, but there are two details, in this event we unlock the medium corruption
for the future and second... the low corruption scene I like very much and I wanted
to underline it so you play both versions.
- several bugfixes and script errors fixed (I'm sure I'm missing some so please let me know)
- The event of the guys "smoking" in the room now has differences depending on whether Angus picks up the crystal or not.
- speaking of angus taking the crystal, if we decide to take it from willow's friend, we will now have a little "surprise" before going to the room with the boys, which will give us clues about the future.
- The non-erotic part of the story keeps moving forward! Where will all this scary shit lead us to? I guess we'll find out in due time....
- Retouched some images from previous events to improve the quality.
- Included some extra songs to improve the sound.
- created more than 20 npc's to create the open world (sorry but this is not available yet... it will be in the next version!)
and other things that I can't remember because I always forget to write them down on paper.
IMPORTANT!
0.2.8B
- translated the dialogue before entering the spa that was untranslated
-FIXED BUG (when angus did NOT pick up the crystal the scene did not play in its entirety now it should play!)
v0.2.2
Here is the new version of The Hidden End.
The story will advance from Angus' point of view.

Infosagar2025-07-31★★★★★
This was my favourite game of this genre. Art, graphics, story, teasing everything was good, perfect NTR game, but one day game abandoned, I still hope developer might come back and resume this game.
Formerly ''2023-12-26★★★★★
A game that with its pacing, plot and dialogue kept you comfortably glued to the screen, mystery and NTR seems be the best combination ever, or I might just like them a lot. Lovable cast and artstyle, with erotic scenes…

The Hidden End is a ntr VN about two childhood lovers and the college experience seeking to tear them apart (or at least cuck the guy). There's not a huge amount of content yet, but it seems to be going…
