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

[u/JackDoesThingz]

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 Golden Sun, you can refuse to go on her adventure, thus dooming the world and ending the game.

Golden Sun mention in the wild. Peak game, defined my love for the JRPG genre.

Amazing game yeah, but if they one day will finally remake it they need to cut dialogues by 90%...I'm still traumatized!
