Choice-Based Games

In many games, the choices you're offered along the way are purely cosmetic: no matter what you pick, the ending is identical. In this list, the promise is completely different. Every decision you make opens or closes narrative paths, changes who survives, which characters side with you, and what ending you reach. The first playthrough tells a story. The next ones reveal everything you haven't seen yet.
