Unstable Ending Guide
Survived, but replaced - The most common intermediate ending
The Unstable Ending is the most common intermediate ending in Scary Shawarma Kiosk: The Anomaly. Most players unlock the Unstable Ending on their first successful clear. The Unstable Ending represents surviving the night shift with 1-4 minor errors, implying the horror hasn't truly ended but continues in a distorted form. In the Unstable Ending, you survive but your identity is replaced.
You survive the Unstable Ending, but your identity is replaced. The whispers never stop in the Unstable Ending.
Unlock Conditions
Event Sequence
Mirror reflection shows a stranger (blurred or shadowed face), wearing the same uniform—this is the hallmark. The grill is quiet, but the environment is eerie.
Continuous whispering sounds never fully stop, creating an unsettling atmosphere. Unlike Perfect Ending, whispers persist.
Story & Lore
The player's identity is replaced—anomalous entities have infiltrated reality. The whispers represent the kiosk's eternal curse; even if you survive, you've become part of the next victim's story.
Reinforces the rule compliance theme. Small accumulated errors lead to this state, foreshadowing worse nights ahead if errors continue.
| Ending | Errors | Result | Lore |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perfect/Good | 0 errors | Full survival, calm city | Perfect escape from cycle |
| Unstable | 1-4 errors | Mirror replacement, twisted survival | Cycle continues, replaced |
| Neutralized/Bad | 5+ errors | Monster consumes/kiosk destroyed | Immediate neutralization |
| Silence | Open Smiling Man envelope | Teleported to dark dimension, consumed | Silent entity captures |
| Erased | Inspection look back | Shrunk, ground, erased | Presence unauthorized |
Tips & Strategy
Use CCTV from multiple angles throughout to check customers. Anomaly features: distortion, duplication, strange night vision.
The meat chunk near the fridge grows with each error—keep it under 5. Prioritize serving humans, close shutters on anomalies.
Bad endings require 10,000 cash or 39 Robux to revive; return to lobby directly, can buy items to optimize next Perfect run.
Don't look back during 2:00 AM Inspection; after giving Smiling Man soda, put envelope under counter.
No exclusive badge, but clearing unlocks Corruption Shop access, improving chances for Perfect next time.
Game Rules
- •Only serve shawarma to confirmed human customers.
- •Use security cameras before opening the door.
- •Check both CCTV cameras (Cam 1 front, Cam 2 back) and toggle night vision for every customer.
- •Do NOT serve anomalous customers. Mistakes add +1 error.
Give the customer a can of soda. Take the paper bundle from the customer by holding the E key. Place the bundle underneath the table in the kiosk. No matter what happens, do not open the bundle.
Whenever he arrives, do not look at his face for too long and simply prepare his order. Closing the shutter on this anomaly is considered a mistake.
When the Inspector's car arrives, do not look at it or close the shutter. Do not look at the monitor or the shawarma during the inspection. Exit the kiosk quickly and hide behind the trash can. Only return when sure inspection is complete.
Turn off the power button for the shawarma stand. Exit the kiosk immediately and return only when the noises have subsided.
Close the shutter and remain inside the kiosk. Close the exit door to prevent any fog from entering the building.
Close the shutter multiple times, and the anomaly will disappear (gets closer but harmless).
Close the shutter when the masked man arrives. Keep the exit door closed. Do not serve him food and ignore him like other anomalies.
