Can 'Em All Ending: Freedom Upgrade and Exit Steps
Follow the player-corroborated route to the ending and check the factory-sale warning before finishing the game.
Spoilers ahead. Two independent player guides agree on the main route: buy the regular factory upgrades, purchase the final Freedom at Last upgrade for $666,666,666 in the launch build, then go to the exit and use the elevator beyond it. Sources: Tanya's guide and XxYerixX15's guide. The Steam achievement list separately confirms that discovering the ending awards Freedom at Last.
Ending route
- Progress through the regular upgrade tree, buying its standard upgrades.
- When the final Freedom option appears, check its price and requirement in your installed version. The two linked launch-period player guides report $666,666,666.
- Buy the final upgrade. Unlocking its node alone is not enough according to Tanya's guide.
- Return upstairs, open the exit, and use the elevator past the door to finish the game.
The Steam store confirms that the full release includes an ending. The precise route above is player-reported for the October–November 2026 launch build; check the game's current UI if it has changed.
Before completing it
A player completion guide warns that finishing the ending before accepting certain company emails may interfere with later casino or factory-sale unlocks in the launch build. That is a reported issue, not a developer-confirmed universal rule. If you want those options, review unread emails and the factory-sale guide before leaving.
Selling the factory is not required for the ending according to the same guide. For the associated Steam goal, see the achievements guide. The older walkthrough's audio-log, quota, and boardroom-tube requirements were not corroborated by these sources.
