9 Meaningful Video Game Choices That Didn’t Actually Mean Anything

Deadly Premonition may be one of the most bizarre games to have ever existed. You play as an FBI Special Agent called York, who is investigating a murder case.

Supernatural strangeness is afoot, and your lady friend Emily has wound up with a painful tree sprouting from her stomach. She urges you to kill her, as we know she is bound for death either way. However the game offers you with a choice: You can choose to aim the gun at poor Emily, to put her out of her misery and end her life swiftly and much less painfully.

Or you can choose to aim the gun at the gloating Kaysen - he doesn't deserve to live after all the evil he has caused for you and the ones you love.

There's a third option: you can turn the gun on yourself.

However, choosing anything other than aiming at Emily results in a game over, with the game forcing you to rethink your actions and try again, making the "choice" into nothing more than a simple, meaningless formality.
