Since information is scattered around and one of the endings is missable I decided to center everything in this guide.
We recommend you play through the game by yourself since the endings are straightforward; then, if you miss ending B, you can just download and load the save file.
There are 3 endings in total: A, B and C. B is the only missable ending, when you get to a branching point you can either choose between ending A or B, if you choose ending A you will be able to play the post-game content and then reach ending C.

Endings List (Spoiler!)
There are 3 endings in total: A, B and C. B is the only missable ending, when you get to a branching point you can either choose between ending A or B, if you choose ending A you will be able to play the post-game content and then reach ending C.
Ending A & B
Ending B is the default and bad ending. To get it you can’t report back to Nitori once you fill 50% of the sleepers database. Play until you get to the final boss and then you should get this ending.
If you already filled 50% of the database you can still get to ending B but you will have to choose this option when you defeat the final boss (spoilers):
“Okay see you there.”
Now for ending A you need to fill your sleeper database to 50% and then report back no Nitori. Once you learn the swim hability go to this spot (in Misty Lake, right from Scarlet’s Devil Mansion):
Keep going to the right and then enter the middle cave, talk to her and now you’re good to go for ending A. She will be at the exclamation mark:
Now once you defeat the final boss choose this option: “You’re the real culprit, aren’t you?”. After this the remaining options are irrelevant. Beat the true final boss and you will reach ending A.
