Bus Stop Love Match — All 4 Endings Guide & Complete Walkthrough

Content Warning: This game contains psychological horror elements and addresses serious themes including sexual assault, suicide, and supernatural revenge. Not recommended for easily disturbed players.

Bus Stop Love Match (Busstop Love Match) is a psychological horror visual novel by Arty Farty Games, released in July 2021. What appears to be a charming dating sim set at a bus stop unfolds into something far darker across its 14,000 words of story and four distinct endings. Available free on HTML5, Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.

Story: Ten Minutes at the Bus Stop

You play as an introverted student who struggles to talk to girls. While waiting for the bus — just ten minutes to spare — a girl named Adrienne appears beside you. She is energetic, cheerful, and immediately starts a conversation. The bus stop premise is simple: can an awkward introvert make a connection in ten minutes?

The answer is more complicated than the setup suggests. Adrienne's upbeat exterior conceals a dark history. As the story unfolds across multiple playthroughs, the game reveals a tragic backstory involving a girl named Giselle, themes of assault and loss, and a supernatural dimension to Adrienne's presence at that bus stop. The romance genre framing is deliberate misdirection — this is a horror story about grief, retribution, and what it means to truly see someone.

Characters

• Protagonist (You) — A customizable, introverted student. His inability to engage with people around him is not just a personality trait — it is the game's central mechanic. Whether he chooses to engage or ignore defines everything.
• Adrienne — Described as "a spunky girl with a lot of energy" who is "certainly not all that she seems." Her cheerfulness is real and performed at once. She knows things about you. She has a reason for being at this bus stop, and it is not coincidence.

How the Game Works

Bus Stop Love Match is a choice-based visual novel divided into two main sections. Your approach in each section — whether you engage with Adrienne or ignore her — determines which of the four endings you receive. The game also features a structural twist: the first time you finish, you will hit what appears to be an ending — signaled by glitched visuals — but the story is not actually over. A second section follows, and your choices there combine with your earlier decisions to produce the final outcome.

Reaching all four endings requires at least three full playthroughs. Each run is short, so replaying is not a burden.

All 4 Endings — Guide

The four endings are generated by the combination of your choices across the two main sections of the game. The two variables are: did you engage or ignore Adrienne in Section 1, and did you engage or ignore in Section 2?

• Ending 1 — Ignore / Ignore: You avoid engaging with Adrienne throughout both sections. You never truly make contact. This is the ending most players reach first when playing defensively or cautiously.
• Ending 2 — Ignore / Engage: You hold back during the first section but open up in the second. The shift comes too late or at the wrong moment — the dynamic between you and Adrienne has already been set.
• Ending 3 — Engage / Ignore: You connect with Adrienne early, but pull back in the second section. You had her attention and chose to retreat. The consequences reflect that.
• Ending 4 — Engage / Engage: You fully engage with Adrienne across both sections. This path digs deepest into the story's lore and Adrienne's true nature. The developer has confirmed this combination unlocks the most complete version of the narrative.

On the glitch screen: When visuals distort and the game appears to end abnormally after your first section — do not close it. That is the fake ending. Keep going. The second section is where the story's real content lives.

Tips Before You Play

• Do not close the game when visuals glitch. This is the most common mistake on a first playthrough. The distorted screen is intentional — the game continues after it.
• Play at least twice before looking anything up. The story is structured to reward replaying. Your first run establishes the baseline; the second reveals what was hidden beneath it.
• The game is playable in browser. No download required. It also runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android if you prefer a standalone version.
• Customize your protagonist's name. The game supports a customizable player character — take a moment with it, as it affects how the story addresses you throughout.
• Take the content warning seriously. The horror in this game is not jump scares — it is thematic and narrative. Themes of assault and suicide are handled with weight, not spectacle. Approach accordingly.

The developer has noted openness to expanding on the characters from this game: "I might write more about these characters."

Conclusion

Bus Stop Love Match earns its place in the horror visual novel genre by committing fully to its bait-and-switch. The ten-minute bus stop premise is tight and well-constructed; Adrienne is a genuinely memorable character; and the four-ending structure rewards players who return and make different choices. It is not the longest or most polished game on this site — but it is one of the more surprising ones.

The bus is coming. You have ten minutes. Choose carefully.
