Ending hint
The vegan ending hint in I Can Smell You from Here
One public comment from the creator is the closest thing to an ending hint this game has: you can convince Idimya to go vegan, and it may unlock an ending players miss. Here is what that does and does not mean.
At a glance
Quick answer
Vegan Ending collects the creator's public hint about a peaceful outcome in I Can Smell You from Here. In the official comment section he says the player can convince Idimya to go vegan and that it may lead to an ending players miss. The game's content warnings include cannibalism, so vegan here means giving up eating people, not a restaurant choice. The creator has not named the ending, published the required choices or confirmed whether it is one of the five endings or a variation. This page quotes the comment, explains why the outcome is easy to miss, and offers a spoiler-light test plan: finish one honest run, restart at the main date scene, change only the decisions that could move the conversation toward the vegan argument, and compare the psychological evaluation. It does not publish a route list.
The quote
What the creator actually said
A player asked whether a peaceful ending exists. The creator replied in the comment section of the official page:
“you can in fact be a humanitarian MF and convince her to be vegan!!! might get you to the ending you're missing hehe”
That is the whole hint. He confirms the action, suggests it may lead to a missed ending, and stops there. He does not name the ending, the choices, or the order.
What it means
What "vegan" means in this game
The game's content warnings include cannibalism. In that context, "vegan" is not a restaurant order or a lifestyle brand. It means convincing Idimya to give up eating people. The creator's joke is that the most humane available outcome is also a dietary argument.
Why players miss it
Three reasons the vegan outcome is easy to miss
- It is not framed as a romance choice. The game rewards consistency and reading her character, not picking the sweetest line. A moral argument can look like a risky detour.
- The creator does not publish routes. There is no in-game checklist that says "vegan path". You have to notice the possibility and commit to it.
- It may require a specific kind of consistency. If you spend the date lying about everything, a sudden moral turn may not fit the character you have built. The hint does not promise that one line is enough.
A clean test
How to test the hint without spoiling the game
Treat it as an experiment, not a walkthrough. The goal is to learn whether the vegan outcome is reachable from your current run, not to copy a sequence.
-
Finish one honest run first
You need a baseline. Your first ending tells you what your instincts produce and gives you a comparison point.
-
Restart at the main date scene
Open OPTIONS with TAB and use the restart at the date scene. Do not replay the opening.
-
Keep your earlier answers consistent
Change only the decisions that could plausibly move the conversation toward the vegan argument. If you change your whole personality, you will not know what worked.
-
Watch the evaluation, not just the ending
The readout can tell you whether the run moved closer even if you did not reach the outcome you wanted.
-
Record what you tried
Write down the choices you changed. If the hint works, you will want to know which part mattered; if it does not, you will avoid repeating the same experiment.
Limits
What we still do not know
The creator has not confirmed which ending the vegan choice leads to, whether it is one of the five numbered endings or a variation, or whether it requires a specific level of alignment. He also has not said whether the choice is available in every run.
Questions

Does vegan mean the game has a vegetarian route?
In context, it means convincing her to stop eating people. The game's content warning includes cannibalism, and the creator's hint is phrased as a joke about that premise.
Can I reach it in one run?
The creator has not said. The game has five endings and a date-scene restart, so testing it across a few runs is practical, but the exact requirements are unknown.
