10 Secret Video Game Endings Hiding In Plain Sight

10. Take The Pink Pill (We Happy Few)

We Happy Few is a highly atmospheric action/adventure game about a group of people trying to escape a dystopian society where the excessive use of hallucinogenic drugs has turned people into blissful yet easily manipulated puppets of the government.

The game has a secret ending which can be achieved within the first scene of the game. The options pop up when the main character, Arthur, sees an image of his brother, which brings back bad memories and causes the drugs to lose their effect.

If the player chooses to retake the Joy pill, Arthur become blissfully ignorant and returns to his editorial work as though nothing has happened. Shortly after, the credits roll, and the player has essentially reached the end of the story, as without Arthur's moment of sobriety, he doesn't have a reason to rebel against his town, effectively preventing the entirety of the game's story from taking place.

The ending has remained a secret simply because the option goes against what the players know about the game's world. Since we aren't residents of Wellington Wells, we know the Joy pills are dangerous and don't want to take them. Even though the offer is (quite literally) on the table.
