Fake endings can have a profound effect in games when achieved with enough immersion and narrative significance. The intention of a fake or false ending, in contrast to games with ambiguous endings, is typically to upend players’ expectations of where the game’s narrative may be headed. This oftentimes presents either an unfavorable or favorable conclusion, depending on which would have a more dramatic result. There is a lot to a fake ending that can make it immersive, such as how long players need to sit through it, and how believable it is at the time that it is presented to players.
