ERROR143 Secret Ending and Backdoor Passwords
ERROR143, a visual novel by Jenny Vi Pham about chatting with hacking rival Micah Yujin, hides a secret ending and a set of passwords behind its hacking screens. Here is how to reach them.
Who Micah Yujin Is
Micah is a rival hacker who contacts you through chats and video calls. The game follows your exchanges over several days, and the relationship gradually shifts from competitive teasing to something more personal. Your replies decide whether that shift continues or stops.
The Three Endings at a Glance
- Error 1 – the bad ending. On day one, answer Micah’s present with “Whatever stalker ;p” and then “I feel uncomfortable”. On day three, reply “In your dreams” and then “Yes, I want you to stop”.
- Error 143 – the main ending, reached by avoiding those serious rejections. Micah eventually turns up at your window for a first date.
- Error 211 – the secret marriage ending described below.
Unlocking the Marriage Ending
Early in the game, Micah says he would never say no to a rematch. He then challenges you to another hacking test. In that minigame, type MARRY ME. Micah meets you in real life, and the story ends with the two of you getting married.
Codes for the Intro Hacking Screen
The opening hacking sequence accepts several typed codes: HACKING TIME, ERROR and SKRUNKLYLOVER420. Type each one exactly as written, including spaces and capital letters, to see how the terminal responds.
Backdoor Passwords for Friends’ PCs
Backdoors let you break into the computers of the game’s friend characters, each locked with its own password. A few examples:
- Odreru – AMEN
- Tora – SOUP
- Mationette – HOTDOG
- Faranesque – PASSWORD1
- Nine – 12345
- Xavi – LURKER
- Discord – L0NGL1V3SKRUNK69
- Jennyan – LOSER
- Rei – POOPHEAD
- Ohn – BLUBBU
- Chochi – 99B50D
Passwords are typed exactly as shown, including the numbers that replace letters. Exploring these computers is optional and does not affect which ending you reach.
The Blooming Panic Name Easter Egg
Enter one of the names nightowl, Quest, xyx or NakedToaster as your own name. These belong to characters from the Blooming Panic games, and Micah leaves a message about each of them at the start of the game.
Getting Every Ending Efficiently
Because the bad ending can trigger as early as day one, the simplest order is to play the main Error 143 ending first, then replay for the marriage code at the rematch, and finally take the serious rejection options for Error 1. That way the longest route is seen while the story is still fresh.
ERROR143 is also featured in the story games with multiple endings list, alongside other titles where choices change the outcome.
