Endings: Only 0.1% See the True End
What this page helps you decide: whether you are chasing the ordinary finish or the true ending, and what the tape line demands before you commit runs to it.
SILENT BREATH has several distinct run outcomes, and Steam global statistics show how steep the drop-off is. Finishing the game at all is a 14.4% achievement. FINAL ACT, described as uncovering the truth and bringing the story to its true end, sits at 0.1%, making it the rarest achievement in the game.
Step-by-Step
- Separate outcomes from endings. TIME IS UP (dawn broke without finding everyone, 15.5%) and HAH, AMATEUR! (found no one before sunrise, 4.3%) are failure states with achievements, not endings.
- The ordinary finish is WHO AM I? at 14.4%. That is the baseline most players never reach.
- The silent finish, MY BREATH IS EVEN SILENT at 11.3%, is a harder variant of finishing rather than a separate ending.
- The story runs through tapes. STORY UNTOLD, for listening to your first tape, sits at 0.3%, which is rarer than finishing the game. Most players never start the tape line at all.
- The true end is FINAL ACT at 0.1%, described as uncovering the truth behind it all and bringing the story to its true end.
