Mary Skelter Finale (神獄塔 メアリスケルターFinale, Kami Gokutō Mearisukerutā Finale) is a dungeon-crawling role-playing video game developed by Compile Heart for the Nintendo Switch and Playstation 4. It is a continuation of the True Ending of Mary Skelter: Nightmares after the completion of Mary Skelter 2.

Mary Skelter: Finale includes a “Before Story” that features the stories of both Mary Skelter: Nightmares and Mary Skelter 2. Even if you have not played previous entries in the Mary Skelter series, you will be able to enjoy the series in full. You will also be able to play Love Prison Tower Mary Skelter, which was included as a pre-order bonus with Mary Skelter 2. In total, you can enjoy three different adventures in addition to the main game.[1] Though not mentioned in promotional material, the game also gives access to Love Prison Tower Mary Skelter: True End and as such actually gives access to five different adventures.

While it was originally planned to be released on August 27, 2020, it was delayed until October 8, 2020 and then again to November 5, 2020, likely due to reasons related to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The English website was launched on March 4th, with a predicted release of Fall 2021.

The Blood Maidens and Jack are separated after the ending by Massacre Pink, splitting into a few groups: the Jack group (Jack, Otsuu, Little Mermaid, Miko, Mamoru, Hikari, and Michiru), the Mary group (Mary, Charlotte, Alice, Chiaki, and Gatou), the Clara group (Clara, Gretel, Hameln, Sukui, and Kaede), the Toh group (Toh, Snow White, Kaguya, Jabberwock, Towa, and Haru), the Red Riding Hood group (Red Riding Hood, Thumbelina, Cinderella, and Kunai), and the Pyre group (Pyre, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Takumi, and Itsuki).
Plot

Jack and Mary's groups, Clara and Pyre's groups, and Toh and Red Riding Hood's groups merge together shortly afterwards with most of the game moving forward with said three groups.

Gameplay

Mary Skelter: Finale holds the same basic gameplay that defined Mary Skelter: Nightmares and Mary Skelter 2. Dungeon-crawling and the timing of dungeon features works on a turn-based system similar to the likes of Etrian Odyssey. Blood Maidens have special field abilities used to solve puzzles and navigate dungeons. By attacking the weaknesses of enemies and/or overkilling them, the player could accumulate Blood, allowing Blood Maidens to access the powerful Massacre or Blood Skelter states depending on their Corruption. Nightmares make a return as an unkillable boss requiring quick thinking to escape rather than by brute-forcing the solution.

Commissions Guide

Commissions are, just like in the previous games, fetch quests that the player can accept and upon completion, will be rewarded with gold, items and/or blood crystals. Each group have their own set of missions, that they can get access to through the commissions at their main base. This guide; Commissions Guide (MSF) serves to help with item locations, Marchen whereabouts and helping you see what items you should keep for future use, as new commissions unlock every chapter.

Zapping System: The zapping system allows the player to switch between the groups in real-time, allowing them to play whichever group whenever they want. Items can be given to different groups through special dustboxes. Some groups will reach a dead-end in which a different group will have to interact with the environment to pave the way forward.

Before Story System: Allows the player to view story scenes and events along with the "Bonus" option, featuring the "Gallery," "Music," and "Character" menus, from the previous games.
Insectmare System: An eerie existence that sticks to Blood Maidens. It causes certain skills and commands to become unavailable, such as being unable to attack, use skills or even escape battle. However, it can be repelled with blood packs and that in turn can generate blood for Massacre Mode. Leaving it untreated can cause more commands to become unavailable.
