Skipping is now enabled for subsequent playthroughs. Press TAB to skip already seen scenes. As with the first playthrough, you’ll be required to watch any scenes you haven’t seen yet. Don’t skip too quickly or you’ll skip right past the choices and risk the game selecting a choice you don’t want.

Game 100%

I purposely moved the short playthrough (#9) to the end so I could get this specific screen as my final one. I just prefer it that way.

The Complex: Walkthrough Guide - All Endings & Scenes

Note: The ONLY way to get the “good” ambulance outcome is on the very first playthrough. Subsequent playthroughs will always result in the “bad” outcome (IYKYK). If you’ve already played through the game and haven’t gotten the good scene, you’ll need to delete the “StoryData” save file from this location “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\YOUR_USERID\1107790\remote” (on Windows) to get it. Deleting the Storydata file will reset all progress back to the beginning except for achievements. They will be unaffected.
