How to Unlock Ending A in Cronos: The New Dawn

To unlock Ending A, play the game until you reach the Pathfinder on the Clocktower and defeat him. When prompted, choose the "Shoot him. End it here." option to kill the Pathfinder. You will also unlock the "I Am Free" Achievement/Trophy.

How to Unlock Ending B in Cronos: The New Dawn

To unlock Ending B, you only have to pick the "Spare him. Let them go." choice after defeating the Pathfinder. You will also unlock the "A Flicker of Hope" Achivement/Trophy.

How to Unlock Ending C in Cronos: The New Dawn

To unlock Ending C, you will have to play through the game in New Game Plus mode. After defeating the Pathfinder, you will get a new "Begin anew" choice. Select it to unlock the ending and the "Free From All The Scars" Achievement/Trophy.

What's the True Ending in Cronos: The New Dawn

Although the game never specificies which ending is the true one, considering the implications of all three endings, the one that seems to make the most sense, leaving the door open to a sequel as well, is Ending C. Saving both Weronikas and allowing them to continue to investigate the Change and how to save humanity is the best conclusion their tale could have had, given what they both went through.
