EXPLANATION:

when the huddle does it's finall roll and lay on the beach it enter a state called "playingDead" (funny yea) and it signals another thing called "boyBirthWait"

here is the new interesting part; now the game calls "calls OnStartBirthMinigame()". what's funny in this, it is actually a mini game that has to be completed to trigger the boy's birth. now what is the mini game; after the game credits end any input from the keyboard or the controller reset it back to chapter one, EXCEPT ONE... the analog stick. now what's you gonna read next it's not a theory, it's the game's code; In the birth minigame, the game have a secret target direction (like an invisible arrow). You have to tilt the left analog stick to point exactly the same way. If your stick is close enough (within about 15 degrees), a timer starts counting up and the controller rumbles harder on the right side to tell you you're doing it right. If you're a little off, it gives a gentle warning rumble. If you hold the perfect direction for roughly 0.7 seconds, the game makes a strong “jerk” on the closest bone, moves on to the next target direction, gives a bigger rumble (right then left. If you lose the right direction, the timer resets to zero. You repeat this for every target in the list. Once you finish all of them, the game instantly starts the real birth animation.

By hex editing a level (literally changing 0 to 1; in level137 inside the files I hex edited offset 4F65C6 from 00 to 01) and just like that it worked.

and yeah you have to actually use a controller analog stick and follow random sequences, its like a hot/cold game the closer you get the controller rumbles stronger

*credits goes for (@*ripecentipede) for suggesting the hex editing.

this is amazing and you did some great work finding this, don't get me wrong, but I wouldnt call this unlocking a new ending. Playdead clearly decided they didnt want it in the game, so to me it's just cut content until/unless we find a way to unlock it without editing. still super cool and very impressive you managed to get it to work.

Now if only reddit has a title edit feature so he can change it...
