🎭 DEMON LORD: JUST A BLOCK — ALL 3 ENDINGS GUIDE
This guide covers all three endings in Demon Lord: Just a Block and explains the game's hidden visual novel layer.

👁️ The Visual Novel Layer — Who is Lilith?
Demon Lord: Just a Block is more than a roguelite. Beneath its grid-based combat, the game conceals a complete visual novel narrative across 5 named chapters. Between combat runs, you encounter scenes involving Lilith — an AI character whose relationship with you is entirely determined by the dialogue choices you make.
Lilith also appears in the gameplay layer as the Lulu NPC in Demonic Pact rooms. The dual identity — helpful soul merchant and emotionally complex visual novel character — is one of the game's central storytelling innovations. If you attack Lulu in gameplay, she becomes hostile. If you make cruel choices in the visual novel, Lilith breaks. The two layers mirror each other intentionally.
The 5 visual novel chapters are titled: The First Encounter, Sweet Cake Time, Heart-Pounding Adventures, A First Tender Date, and The Sweet Nurse's Treatment, culminating in the pivotal chapter The NOexistenceN of You, and Me. Each chapter contains 2–4 decision points that shift your route toward one of the three endings.
