The Theater, the first game by the title, is a horror game YouTubers like Markiplier played back in 2013, and it consisted of the player walking into a theater before ending up back outside the theater. However, the game was practically erased from existence after then and download links (which were not just viruses) became near impossible to find. A playthrough was uploaded which had camera stabilizing enabled, grainy quality, and clunky frame rate showed the player mysteriously ending up in the theater after going through one of the paintings. Another playthrough was uploaded that detailed actions another player made before ending up in the same area, but it doesn't seem to exist anymore. I was curious about these when I was younger, but I ended up finding that all of the links for downloads had been replaced with malware. The game ended up receiving a remake a year after, and a "reimagining" just last year. 7 years later, the day before yesterday, I came across an Italian play through from 2012 that contained a working download for the original game, not malware or the remake. Now, I went through and obtained the ending that many have called fake.

To obtain this ending, don't approach Swirly Face when he moves outside of the theater. If you see his garbled speech box, you lose and have to go to the brick wall instead (the normal ending when you go through the theater too many times). When Swirly Face is outside, the previews for the movies on the wall are replaced with the "turns" posters. You can walk through the middle poster on the right wall, and you fall into the hallway below to get to reach the ending. Walking into the wall you fell from down in the underground hallway results in falling down to the void, so do not walk back through from down there.

As for the ending, the game closes immediately after the text box at the end closes, and the game resets. The amount of times you have to go into the theater seems random, like the chance of having the possessed ticket collector inside the theater with you (a video of this is on my Twitch, but you will have to find it on your own). Also, I think the message at the end is actually really unnerving. I wish I had displayed it for slightly longer, so it would sink in. Nothing I can do about it now, though!
Also, these are the links to all of the videos and to the download I mentioned before! You will be needing the media fire link to download the game.

Also, could you do me a favor and let me know if the Discord link actually works? Let me know in the comments. Thank you in advance! I have no idea if it got reset or not. (Also, thanks for reading!)
