- call in your buddy Charles for help and watch his "assistance" turn into a whole new kind of chaos.
- reach the finale and combine earlier endings into new routes that branch into multiple distinct storylines.
- choose between attacks like a knife or a yo-yo and get fully animated, wildly different outcomes either way.
- click a character who only appears for a split second to snag a hidden bio before the scene moves on.
- pick the "wrong" option on purpose just to see a spectacular fail scene play out like a mini-sketch.
- escalate from a simple bank job into airship infiltrations, complex prison breaks, and a much bigger conspiracy without slowing down.
- replay a 30-minute run and realize there are hours of alternate fails, secrets, and endings hidden behind different choices.
