*The criteria I will use here is pretty much the same as chapter 2's weird route - segments are skipped, new gameplay segments are added. A simple cutscene change or optional scene would not count. If the ending is significantly changed, will resolve YES.
Update 2025-04-14 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Criteria Clarification:
No Light World Menu: The ending cutscene must transition directly into chapter 4 without the player being able to open the light world menu (i.e., there is no moment of gameplay in the light world).
Update 2025-04-14 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Dialogue Options:
Dialogue options during the final cutscene do not count as gameplay in the light world
The ending cutscene must still transition directly into chapter 4 without permitting the opening of the light world menu

3.00@AleaNiled could "There will not be a playable light world section" be clarified? Like you shouldn't be able to explore the town is probably a better criteria
@MingCat I'll define it as "you will not be able to open the light world menu" (i.e. the ending cutscene transitions directly into chapter 4 without gameplay inbetween)
@AleaNiled hmm, so a brief section where you can explore your house would count as a NO? I expect that to likely happen. I don't expect a town section to happen
