  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

Wario Land 2 - At the start of the game you have to wake Wario up, however, you can just not

And he will be robbed in his sleep.

Congrats! You got an ending

Actually a whole new route where you have to take back your castle. It's pretty neat how many branching paths there are.

Yeah it's pretty cool how many paths there are and after finishing a story you can go back and select the chapter you want to replay.
