Games with an abrupt and unexpected ending twist - an IFDB Poll

I'm looking for games which, as in a lot of short stories, feature a sudden and unexpected revelation/twist at the very end of the game, that possibly changes your interpretation of what the game was really all about. (but please be careful with spoilers!)
