This is actually an example of the new trope, adding back with the context that it's one of Multiple Endings

Added DiffLines:

* EverybodyDiesEnding: The ending you get if you choose to take Jacqueline instead of Titus. Jacqueline has Buckley fly them to Indiana (he's not really a pilot, but they said he was on a college application so she needs photographic evidence).. Buckley doesn't know how to fly, so the plane crashes and they all die. Meanwhile, Titus goes to the gym and gets [[TreadmillTrauma fatally thrown off of a treadmill]]. Bobby Durst then comes out and gleefully informs you that you killed them all.

* SpiritualAntithesis: This film-length interactive special is the Spiritual Antithesis to Netflix's landmark interactive film release, ''Film/BlackMirrorBandersnatch''.
** Both are feature film-length entries for Netflix properties, ''Series/BlackMirror'' and ''Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt''. They use the same software and mechanics (at least two options, and if you don't choose within a time limit the interface chooses for you) and are MetaFiction about the characters exploring a [[{{Gamebooks}} choose-your-own-adventure story]], but unlike ''Bandersnatch'', a grim and trippy horror story in line with much of ''Black Mirror'', ''Kimmy Schmidt'' is of course a bright and wacky comedy. Creator/TinaFey deliberately went in a different direction with the Branch Manager technology -- while ''Bandersnatch'' went for MindScrew with its nested plots, ''Kimmy vs the Reverend'' pushes the player towards a true HappyEnding.
--->'''[[https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/tina-fey-kimmy-schmidt-team-explain-interactive-special-endings-kimmy-reverend-1294623 Tina Fey]]''': There are things where you sort of hit dead ends, [or] there'll be versions where Kimmy doesn't end up getting married to Frederick and someone else marries Frederick, [and] the technology will kind of push you back and get you to try again. So it's a little different than ''Bandersnatch'' in that way where ''Bandersnatch'' would just end and you'd be like, 'Well, that was a creepy ending,' but you'd have no sense of whether it was an intended ending."
** The contrast between the two works is even lampshaded in one bad ending, where Mikey comments that the normally lighthearted show took a dark turn, "like [[Series/BlackMirror Spooky Mirror]]".

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: An extremely rare film variation. Because the movie is a [[{{Gamebooks}} Choose Your Own Adventure]] in the classic style, in which you can make a choice in the beginning that will ultimately lead to a BadEnding, you can get all the way to the climax and end up having to restart [[spoiler: because you didn't read the book.]] However, if you made the choice to [[spoiler: babysit for the gas station attendant, which leads to Kimmy not making it to the bunker in time, Mikey breaks the fourth wall and tells you that, because you did the right thing, you don't have to go all the way back to the beginning and start over from scratch. The movie then resumes from the last decision point, giving you a new choice to read the book to the crying baby. If you still choose not to read the book, the movie fast forwards past the ensuing bad end scenes that you've already watched, and resumes with Kimmy reading the book automatically.]]



* BookEnds: In the good ending, Kimmy [[spoiler:helps the Reverend's other victims out of the bunker]] like she was rescued in the pilot.
