Since I already posted the ending CGs in another post, this one is for all the other backgrounds.

Big shoutout to u/critical-advance-123 for decompiling the game assets.

Renegade Nun: Kelly turns the church into her own religion. They rebel back, and you both end up in a shootout with her followers. This is the only ending where you both die.

Senator: You and Kelly start a non-profit and she runs for Senator.

Paralymics: Kelly becomes obese, loses weight after therapy and rehab, and participates in the paralympics.

Pornstar: You and Kelly get in heavy debt after developing a heavy drug addiction, and end up having to do porn to pay for it. Easily the "worst" ending of the bunch, the dialogue in this one is absolutely miserable.

Conservative Grifter: Kelly gets brainwashed by a Christian Pastor and becomes an ultraconservative podcaster. Nicole then calls her and makes fun of her for pretending to be conservative and homophobic when she was ultra promiscuous and even had sex with two girls at the same time at a party.

Waitress: You and Kelly get charged for Hunter's death at Kelly's pool party. You do 20 years and end up not being able to get any better jobs than that.

Talk Show Host: Kelly becomes obese, but goes to the gym, loses all the weight again, turns it into a success story and even gives you a job as a cameraperson in her talk show. Honestly probably my favorite ending.

Failed Kidnapping: A stalker kidnaps both you and Kelly after she becomes an actress. However, the car crashes and you both come out unscathed.

And with that, I have posted every single ending CG for Weekend at Kelly's! Honestly, it's been... Oddly charming. The only "bad" ending I'd say is the Pornstar one, since even in the Waitress one she at least gets to live a relatively normal life after prison.

Honestly, while the main campaigns felt really underwhelming and boring, Weekend at Kelly's actually feels a bit like the older VNs.

And with that final message, I'm off. I couldn't get screenshots from the other CGs, so... I leave those up to you.

Now if you'll excuse me, I never want to see Panel de Pon in my life again.

Context: Both you and Kelly get charged for Hunter's death after he drowns at her pool party. You do 20 years and get out without being able to get anything better.

Context: Kelly becomes an ultraconservative podcaster after getting brainwashed by a christian pastor. The dialogue here is exactly how you imagine it.

Honestly I'm not even mad about this one, one of the dialogues is an incel calling and her replying "Exactly, lesbians should want to marry a guy like you!"

Also this one ends with Nicole calling her show just to make fun of her and calling her out for pretending to be conservative when she had sex with two girls a the same party.

Aaaaaaaand here's the cursed ending we were all expecting. Honestly idk if I can even post this one here mods lmk and I'll take it down.

Context: She spent most of her money on drugs and she ends up heavily in debt. All her dialogue here is honestly pretty miserable.

Context for this one: Kelly got obese, slimmed down with therapy and ends up participating on the paralympics.

The main campaigns all follow the exact same premise: Phone got bricked by the virus, and they want to unbrick it. At the end of their stories all you get is a 5 second cutscene of the character sitting around and that's it. Only exception is Emily's story because she wants to shoplift at a Gucci store and that just snowballs into her getting in trouble with the cops. Also while the Puzzler was genuinenly interesting, the Chustler is a seriously terrible character and hope he stays shelved for the future. If I had to choose one "best story", I'd pick Emily's, easily.

Then, once you get all the endings, you unlock one final campaign for both Nicole and Jecka together (Hey, look, more Jeckole crumbs), and after it you get one final cutscene where the Puzzler just calls you, the player, out for spending all that time playing this game just to unlock that same cutscene, and just tells you to go outside before closing the game. So if you were interested just because of the animated cutscenes... You won't find anything interesting here.

The dialogue is mostly just the usual jokes for the franchise before playing a puzzle round. A couple of them were actually funny (Emily telling Ari that she's basically a female Jeffrey comes to mind), but a ton of them are reused when you encounter the same character on another story so it lowers the surprise a lot. There's also only dialogue for the pre-match, once the battle ends you just immediately move on to the next one without knowing why or how you got there.

As for Weekend at Kelly's: It's basically just her interacting only with the player themselves, and not much else. It's literally just Kelly talking to you. All things considered, it's actually pretty easy-going. The Endings I saw: You two avoiding getting kidnapped by a stalker, her getting obese and then slimming back down and becoming a talk show host and her getting kicked out of church.

Overall... I give it a "Better than Flipside"/10. The bar was already on the floor, but it was impossible to go lower. Right now it seems like the main issue is that the game is way too overpriced for what it has, and the cutscenes alone barely even help since they're way too short.

Is the writing good? Honestly, I'd say it's decent. It actually seems like SBN3 realized that Flipside was a mistake and all that spite-writing and beef with the fanbase he (I want to say unwittingly) started is completely gone here. I'm gonna give the man what it's due: He at least did good on this end when my only major complaint is the length and the repetitiveness.

Would I recommend buying it? Honestly... Not at full price. 20 dollars for a Panel de Pon clone is way too much in 2026. The animated cutscenes, which were supposed to be one of the main selling points, are barely there. If you're actually interested, wait for a sale.

Overall though, I just feel that SBN3 overhyped what was actually gonna be in the game way too much. I don't expect this to resurrect the franchise or anything. But as a standalone entry? It's honestly pretty harmless and I'd say that, if it was cheaper, it would be decent enough.

At least it wasn't Flipside 2 like most of us were fearing it would.

To be fair I fully expect this number to go up at least a bit during the day.

For comparisons' sake: The first game had a peak of 380, Re-up had 280 and Flipside had 2317 (This one after the franchise got popular)
