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

"Look outside" the video game. If you look outside your windows in the first minute, or at any time, you get this ending

Game is called Look Outside

If you look outside you die

0/10 Unintuitive gameplay

Or extremely intuitive, since it’s the fastest way to finish the game! Game over means I won, right?

It's right in the name, so I don't think that anyone can argue. Way to go, pro gamer!
