The game features Joel and Ellie’s dangerous journey through a pandemic-stricken world, where the infected have turned into cannibalistic creatures. The game reached its climax in episode nine, where our heroes’ fate is unknown, and gamers were eagerly waiting for the conclusion.
The game begins with Joel and Ellie crossing a river on a boat, where Joel is badly injured. After reaching the other side, they find a small town to rest and treat Joel’s injuries. The town is deserted, and they come across a group of hostile survivors who are after a young boy named Sam and his older brother, Henry. Joel and Ellie help the brothers, and they team up to reach a radio tower to contact the Fireflies who can treat Joel’s infection.
As they reach the radio tower, Joel and Ellie are separated when a horde of infected attack them. Joel wakes up to find himself wounded and surrounded by te cannibalistic infected. Meanwhile, Ellie finds herself in the hideout of the Fireflies, where she learns that they plan to use her immunity to develop a vaccine. But, Ellie is reluctant to sacrifice her life for the vaccine, and she escapes from the Fireflies hideout.
Joel awakens to find that he has been rescued by a woman named Marlene, who leads the Fireflies. Marlene tells Joel that the only way to save humanity is to sacrifice Ellie for the vaccine. Joel decides to flee with Ellie and protect her at all costs. However, while on their way back, they are ambushed by the Fireflies, and Joel is seriously wounded. He manages to bring Ellie to a hospital where they discover that the Fireflies had already extracted the cure from Ellie’s brain.
Ellie, who is recovering from a surgical wound, wakes up to confront Joel about the Fireflies’ actions. Joel lies to her, telling Ellie that there was no cure, and that the Fireflies could not figure out how to create it. Ellie is not convinced, but the two continue their journey towards finding a new home together.
In the final episode, Joel and Ellie reach their destination, where they find a secure community of survivors. However, Ellie’s doubts about the Fireflies’ cure keep haunting her, and she confronts Joel about it. Joel, who had lied to Ellie before, finally opens up to her about the truth.
The conversation is intense, and Ellie’s trust in Joel diminishes. She is angry, hurt, and feels violated. Ellie wants justice for the Fireflies, but Joel tells her that he killed everyone in the hospital where they had operated on her. The revelation causes Ellie to break down, and she refuses to talk to Joel.
Joel, feeling guilty and ashamed of his actions, tries to explain to Ellie why he did what he did. He tells her that he could not lose another daughter and that he sees her as his own daughter. Ellie is still angry, but she begins to understand where Joel is coming from.

In a thrilling combat scene, Joel and Ellie take out the villains and free Ellie’s friend. However, in the process, Joel is gravely injured, and Ellie carries him to their safe haven.
As they reach the community, Ellie finally forgives Joel, and they reconcile. However, Joel’s condition is deteriorating quickly, and the community’s medical staff cannot save him.
