The **Witnessless Route** leads to one of the three main endings of Overtime. It consists of the protagonist killing every possible enemy in the Badlands.

This route's ending can occur without prior completion of the game. Upon completion of it, the save files of the game get deleted. No music plays until completing the Sani battle.

## Method

The Witnessless Route occurs when the protagonist kills every enemy in every region: the Old Hospital (isn't mentioned before the But nobody came. similar message to that case), Thunder Mountain, Mines, Dustbowl and the Mann Co. Factory. Not exhausting the kills in Dustbowl causing the route to be reverted to Trespasser one.

## Changes

* They are the same as in Undertale, but:
	+ Instead of the mus\_toomuch being triggered in the exhausted encounter dialogue, it switches to slowed down Anticipation. It is also played on the normal encounters (within replacing Birdsong that's played at one encounter and the affliated ones), at the 404-ST3RM4-J4R battle and replaces Stronger Monsters music.
		- The music that is played for the Factory area, is now used for certain bosses (and the mini-bosses such as Mr. Mundy and Spy, doesn't play for Scott and Dell)
	+ Instead of the slowed down area variants, it's playing mus\_toomuch instead. (much like Reunited but it only plays for a room with the main characters)
	+ The bag has the different variant, as it was also shown by Tavish before the battle.
	+ Mr. Mundy does not activate the runaway puzzle.
	+ The prices gets higher on shops upon grinding for the enemies.
	+ Casino door has the different dialogue.
	+ Avoiding to hit Jane Doe proceeds on the different dialogue and the music is on mute.
	+ Finishing puzzles in Mines gives the different sound effect.
	+ Tavish upon being damaged, tries to reform by taking Eli's pills, but notices that he took them with alcohol, and dies.
	+ Dispenser-O-Matic also features Eli upon their encounter grind achievement. As the recording finishes, Dispenser-O-Matic tries to get in love with the protagonist, but is interrupted by the program inside and maliciously flees.
	+ There is the rose on the floor at the musical room, but it can't get picked up.
	+ There are both the kill counter for Dustbowl and Factory, means so that the enemies must be killed in both separate areas.
	+ Scott can be hired, and can abort the Witnessless Route.
		- Despite not having any attacks, they are insta killable like every other boss and two minibosses.
	+ Instead of frame damage in Dell battle, the turns are being taken upon taking damage from him. The battle now have extra actions and their name is "dell." aswell there. The wrenches that are in the act menu screen insta killing the protagonist. For Dell, that they do not have any more power to attack them, they put a sentry before sleeping. The bullets must be avoided in order to access the ITEM menu for having a Sapper, sapping the sentry and also killing Dell. Not having Sapper gives the different dialogue and softlocks the game.
		- Upon hiring Dell, they give to them the advice to SAVE, giving to them the steps to be tricked, and having their route being stuck at that point, and when joining any of the empty doors, they were teleported at the room within many sentries, insta killing the protagonist.
	+ Balloonicorn shows up upon what the protagonist did, and flees. They do not show up after the upcoming battle.
	+ Misha and Eli act up in battle, giving to Eli act stuff, that in case, asides the Check one, do not change the battle. Eli must be killed in order to continue the battle. Misha's Check menu before and killing Eli now gives additional information. Misha gets insta killed on the behalf of strong attack, and does not show the SOUL.
	+ After killing those two, the protagonist says something in the follow up to the Mann brothers corridor. At the time reaching the meeting room, they finally get to say something as if they were meeting horror upon them, and kills their own SOUL. This replaces the fallen mercenary encounter, as it wasn't been shown up after Misha and Eli battle as well as Balloonicorn wasn't shown after it, and they do not get to be killed by the protagonist.
		- The game closes after this event, and the save files are removed upon this, ending the Witnessless Route.

## Requirements

* Exhaust the random creature kill counter in every region. This requirement must be done before approaching the final encounter of that area.

* For the Old Hospital, which has no counter, the required kill count is 14.

* Note: Despite his sprites being edited from Doggo, Mr. Mundy is the final encounter of Thunder Mountain. DO NOT FIGHT HIM BEFORE REACHING 30 KILLS, OR THE ROUTE WILL BE ABORTED.

## Trivia

* Since both Scott (Yellow Mode apprears on a splitsecond before coming back to attack menu) and Eli lack attacks in their battles, Yellow Mode is not used, making it the only SOUL Mode that does not make an appearance during this route.
* Green Mode can also not be used there for Tavish when using Batter codename for a purpose to kill the enemies.
