Bad end意思

"Bad end" is a term often used in video games, particularly in visual novels and role-playing games, to indicate a negative or undesirable outcome for the player or the characters. It refers to an ending sequence or state in which the story concludes in a way that is not favorable or satisfying, often due to the player's choices or actions throughout the game.

In contrast to a "good end" or "true end," which are typically the most positive or canonically correct outcomes, a bad end can involve the death of a character, the failure of the main objective, a tragic resolution, or any other result that is not considered the best or most desirable for the player or the characters involved.

The term is often used in Japanese gaming and media, where visual novels and dating sims are particularly popular, and has been adopted by English-speaking communities due to the widespread use of these games and the need for a term to describe these types of endings.
