Bloodstained alternate ending spoiler //
In Bloodstained, you play as one of two surviving Shardbinders, an alchemical experiment that gave people the ability to bond with shards of demons and use their powers. The other Shardbinder, your childhood friend, got all evil & summoned up a big castle full of demons. Your mission is to stop him.
When you've explored about half the castle, you find the room he's hanging out in. You fight, you win -- it isn't an especially interesting fight, he doesn't transform or anything -- and it cuts to you and your exposition buddy in the ruined town.
"You did what you came here to do."
"Yes… but is it really okay to leave the huge castle full of invading demons?"
"You've done your part; the Church can take care of it from here."
GAME OVER
and that's it. that's the default ending if you play the game normally.

okay SO I found the magic sword that's supposed to be able to kill the demon possessing him
no dice, same result.
after killing friendo, possessing demon says (over blank screen, no dialogue text, had to switch the voice to english to be sure I understood it) that with as many demon shards as I'd absorbed, I'd be easy to possess
so I got rid of every single demon shard I'm allowed to (can't sell the ones from bosses), whack him with the sword that that can sever the bond to the possessing demon... and it doesn't work, he just dies and the main character leaves the castle.

@Lioness when your possessed friend is low on health, the moon turns red and you attack it with the sword
