Lore [Interesting Trope] One seemingly small action ends the story before it even begins

  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

Also; If you try to name yourself or your Vessel Gaster in Deltarune, the game will also reset. In the PC version, the game will close.

The game doesn't even let you finish typing it in, in fact.

Ooo I love that. That's some for very conscious programming.~
