The Jayn bad ending in Hapunan (developed by YIKON GAMES INC on Steam) occurs when you treat Jayn coldly during your first nighttime encounter and insult her father, Penduko, at the climax. This branch results in Niko being gunned down by an enraged Penduko, unlocking the Steam achievement Bad Ending: I'm Sorry, Jayn.
Because Hapunan features a chapter-select system, players do not need to restart the entire game from the beginning. You can rewind directly to key chapters to alter your decisions and witness the outcome.
Key Choices Required for Jayn's Bad Ending
Reaching this specific ending requires a combination of dismissive dialogue choices toward Jayn early on and antagonizing dialogue when Penduko reappears.

| The Factory Key | Finding Tatay Lorenzo for the entrance key | Wake Lorenzo and ask for the factory key | Lorenzo confirms he gave the factory key to Jayn when she was in elementary school. |
| Climax at Jayn's House | Confronting Jayn outside her home | Apologize, then state hope that Penduko never returns | Jayn takes offense at Niko speaking ill of her father. |
| Penduko Confrontation | Penduko arrives and asks why Niko is bothering his child | Jayn reveals Niko was rude to her; Niko antagonizes Penduko | Penduko draws his firearm and executes Niko on the spot. |
Step-by-Step Walkthrough to the Bad Ending
1. Reject Jayn at the Front Door
During your nightly rest after tending to the chickens and delivering egg quotas, a knock sounds at Niko's front door. Opening the door reveals a young woman introducing herself as a neighbor named Jayn (spelled Jayn or Jane in dialogue subtitles).
She explains she wanted to introduce herself to the new resident and offers to guide Niko to her house. The game presents two options:
- Accept her invitation to follow her home.
- Reject her by stating she is a nuisance and that you were sleeping soundly.
To trigger the bad ending, choose the dismissive option. Niko tells her that she is bothering him and refuses to look at her house. Jayn apologizes, leaves, and vows not to bother Niko again. This locks you out of the friendly dialogue branches with her.
2. Progress the Farm Work and Learn of the Key
Continue through the daily farm tasks. After the incidents involving the farm shooting, the village head's intervention, and your assignment to prepare balut in the incubator, Niko witnesses his father being escorted into the locked old factory building by the village police.
Needing a way inside, Niko heads to the home of Tatay Lorenzo, the elderly man seen waving earlier. After waking Lorenzo, ask about the factory key. Lorenzo reveals that he entrusted the factory key to Jayn many years ago when she was an elementary student.
3. Confront Jayn at Her Residence
Head immediately to Jayn's house. Knock on the door to speak with her. Because Niko previously rebuffed her, Jayn is guarded and cold. When Niko explains the emergency regarding his father and brings up the shooting involving Penduko, Niko expresses hope that Penduko never comes back.
Jayn reacts angrily to this comment, defending Penduko because he is her father.
4. Face Penduko's Wrath
Penduko, having escaped custody from the authorities, suddenly arrives on the scene to check on his daughter. When Penduko questions what business Niko has lingering around his child, Jayn admits that Niko was disrespectful and rude toward her.
Hearing that Niko mistreated his daughter—coupled with Niko's accusations regarding Penduko's violent acts—infuriates Penduko. Refusing to tolerate the disrespect, Penduko draws his pistol and fires, killing Niko instantly.
The screen cuts to black as Jayn cries out in horror at the murder, concluding the run and awarding the achievement Bad Ending: I'm Sorry, Jayn ("Some decisions can't be taken back").
How to Rewind and Change Your Choice
If you wish to see other narrative branches—such as the romantic branch or the canon escape ending—you do not need to replay the full story:
- Return to the main menu after the credits or death screen.
- Select the chapter selection feature to return to the night of Jayn's initial visit.
- Accept her offer to walk to her house and converse warmly to alter her disposition.
- Advance the timeline forward to explore the alternative endings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you survive if you reject Jayn on night one?
No. Being hostile to Jayn locks her into reporting your poor behavior to Penduko during the final confrontation at her house. Once Penduko learns you mistreated his daughter, he consistently shoots Niko, resulting in a fatal bad ending.
Does saving or reporting Kyle affect Jayn's bad ending?
Jayn's bad ending is primarily triggered by Niko's direct social interactions with Jayn and Penduko at the end of the game. However, letting Kyle escape introduces a separate fatal ending where Kyle ambushes the meeting, shooting both Penduko and Jayn outside the house. To specifically get the Bad Ending: I'm Sorry, Jayn achievement, ensure Kyle is reported so Penduko is the one present to execute Niko.
What is the requirement for the "Missed Opportunity" achievement?
The Missed Opportunity achievement is tied to the choice of rejecting Jayn when she knocks on your door at night to introduce herself, rather than walking her home.
