How the Bad Ending Happens
The Seagull becomes dangerous if you keep feeding or letting too many seagulls stay. Community reports suggest the bad ending triggers when seagulls accumulate beyond a threshold, but the exact number is not confirmed. This is not an instant-fail event — it builds up over multiple encounters.
Common Mistakes
- Feeding every seagull because it seems cute — this can lead to the bad ending
- Assuming seagulls provide a benefit — no confirmed benefit exists
- Ignoring the food drain from feeding seagulls
- Not tracking how many seagulls are on the boat
