What's a game that you loved until a twist (in story or gameplay) ruined it for you? (alien.top)

Danganronpa V3 was the one that stuck with me the most. They built up a new and unique protagonist that brought something different to the table…

!And then killed her immediately. Not just killed, but executed by hanging for eight hours, forced to play a giant piano with her dangling body until the lid shuts and crushes her, all while rocks are being thrown at her. She was then replaced with a milquetoast emo detective in her place. All of this is in the opening chapter.

The worst part? She wasn’t even guilty of the murder she was executed for, which goes against everything the series had established up until that point (you vote to execute the correct killer and only they die, you vote wrong and everyone dies). They try to hand wave it away with some contrived BS, but the damage was done. That intro segment made me put the game down for a while, but that ending made sure I never played it again!<

I mean, I agree that >!Kaede would have been a more interesting protagonist but I still liked Shuichi.!< I think it was a good twist and was generally handled well.

Also is the mastermind cheating in V3 really any different than when the mastermind in DR1 tried to >!frame Kyoko for a murder in order to get rid of her?!<
