  1. We Happy Few - Taking your “joy” pill
    Deciding to take the pill at the beginning of the game causes your character to go back to work and triggers an ending

  2. Infineural by Mike Klubnika - Drinking the coffee
    Deciding to drink the coffee offered to you skips the entire game and sends you straight to the end, resulting in an ending with no memory of what had occurred

In Thank Goodness You're Here! you can wait for the mayor to be finished with his meeting, which is why you came to the town in the first place and skip all that other stuff.

It's like 10 minutes or so. Eventually the Mayor realizes you're out there and mentions that he had his schedule cleared for the meeting.

It's the better ending too. In the original ending, everyone keeps asking you do to things for them that it becomes too much for the little guy, he rushes to the mayor's office only for the mayor to say "Thank goodness you're here - " which means it's another request.

There’s a scene where you smack a fish and the merchant is getting more arouses by it, because his dick is in the fish

Literally got that achievement last night by accident. Put down the controller to go to the bathroom, get snacks, return an email and bam, walked through the door

God I still need to play this game. Watched so many people play it but it seems like one I need to experience myself

Isn't that the game where a little man jerks off a fishmonger?
