* ''VideoGame/NotForBroadcast'' is basically ''all about'' this trope. What you choose to play and when you choose to play it can radically change the fates of multiple characters, major and minor. In particular, the ending changes wildly depending on three particular factors: [[spoiler:whether Jeremy Donaldson is alive, whether Alan James is alive, and whether you air the unidentified footage on the last day]] - all of which are completely under the player's control.

* ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'': Being a [[ThematicSeries thematic sequel]] to ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'' (listed lower in this folder), features this, [[DownplayedTrope although (initially) to a lesser extent.]] Chapter 1 does track things the player can do, but it mainly results in some changed dialogue or getting some items early on in chapter 2, with the only major difference being the context of how the chapter ends, which doesn't affect the beginning of chapter 2. This is because the theme of chapter 1 is '[[ButThouMust your choices don't matter]]'. Chapter 2 goes further with this; [[spoiler:to the point of including a [[KillEmAll Genocide-like route]].]] Still, the game is said to only have one ending at the end of the day, but that claim still remains to be seen.

* In ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1'', there are several interactions that will determine whether the secondary character associated with your player character (Barry for Jill, Rebecca for Chris) will survive, as well as an optional side-quest to collect 3 MO disks to allow the unchosen player character to survive.
** Barry: After killing Yawn in the library, there comes a sequence where Barry will lower Jill down a hole, only to then drop the rope. If Jill waits for Barry to return, this will set up an encounter between the two in the caves beneath the mansion. If Jill does not wait, she will encounter a mortally wounded Barry when she finally reaches the lab, who will die in front of her. When they meet in the caves, Barry will ask Jill two questions; does she want to go with him, and does she want him to go first. If Jill says "Yes" to both questions, Barry will automatically live. If she agrees to go with him but asks to go first herself (Yes/No) or refuses both suggestions (No/No), he will walk away and then Jill will hear a shot from the direction he went; if she follows Barry, she will find him fighting a Hunter, and he will live if she kills it -- if she fails, or simply doesn't follow, then he is killed, with a unique cutscene. If Jill refuses to go with Barry, but tells him to go first (No/Yes), then he will be encountered dying in the lab, as if she refused to wait when he dropped the rope.
** Rebecca: Chris's interactions with Rebecca are even more complicated, depending on whether he goes to the Medicine Room first or towards Yawn's first fight first. If Chris says that Rebecca can come with him upon meeting her in the medicine room, or retrieves the serum for Richard in time, she will survive the events of the game. If he says no, or fails to retrieve the serum fast enough, then when Chris returns to the mansion with the Helmet Key, there will be a new event with Rebecca depending on where she was met first. If she was met in the medicine room, she will have returned there; if Chris goes directly there, she will be found inside and will live, but if he picks up the battery first, he will find her outside the medicine room being attacked by a Hunter; whether she lives or dies depends on if the player fights the Hunter. But if she was met with Richard, Chris will hear her screaming, as she is under attack by a Hunter in the 2nd floor study -- if he goes there quickly and kills the Hunter, she lives, but otherwise, she'll die. Also, leaving the mansion for the caves without trying to find her will result in her dying.
* The ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilRemake'' simplifies saving Barry and Rebecca to two obvious choices. Jill has to choose whether or not to give Barry back his gun when their fight is interrupted by Lisa Trevor, with Barry dying if she refuses and living if she does. Chris has to choose whether or not to save Rebecca from a Hunter shortly after they return to the mansion.
** The "serum for Richard" miniquest is also more rewarding in the remake; if the player brings Richard the serum in time, they will unlock a new weapon, the faster-firing, more powerful Assault Shotgun. Jill will have Richard burst in to help her fight Yawn for the first time; when Yawn is defeated, she will get the Assault Shotgun after Richard is killed -- but if she runs away from the fight, Richard will be killed behind her and she will lose the gun. Chris instead will meet Richard in the Aqua Ring, where he will be killed, but Chris can claim the Assault Shotgun after draining the flooded lab.
** Barry: After killing Yawn in the library, there comes a sequence where Barry will lower Jill down a hole, only to then drop the rope. If Jill waits for Barry to return, this will set up an encounter between the two in the caves beneath the mansion. If Jill does not wait, she will encounter a mortally wounded Barry when she finally reaches the lab, who will die in front of her.
