Backstage Pass: Blogger Ending Guide

Backstage Pass
Backstage Pass is not an iPhone app, so it may seem a bit out of place but after a long hiatus I thought I'd post something new! Backstage Pass is a dating simulation game following a shy makeup artist from Hawaii who is prone to panic attacks and far away from home. However, this is not a game review... This is a guide for the hardest ending to obtain in the game.

The Blogger ending is the pickiest of all endings in the game. After obtaining every other ending I really struggled with this one and found most guides to be a bit vague and following them never seemed to result in a win for me. So I played through, trying my own different odd techniques and writing down every single choice I made. Viola! A success! Now that I know a step by step process to guarantee a Blogger ending, I am going to share it with you.  Following this will absolutely result in the Blogger ending, even if some of the choices seem counter intuitive.

I will start this guide with the first choice the user can make, and work onward from there. This does not count the option of watching or skipping the intro because that is up to you.

This is where it ends.  If the screen goes black, you know you have it. The final CG can be seen on the right.

I hope this was helpful to those trying to get this ending.  I realise it could be improved on for the most efficiency but what is important is it gets you the Blogger Ending.
