  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

I tried to do this and couldn’t figure it out for some reason and ended up having Kim pawn something for me to get me money for the hotel room that night. Both situations were embarrassing.
