History Main / FlushingEdgeInteractivity

* Proudly subverted by the ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'' series, in which every save point is some kind of toilet, and your file data is on toilet paper.

* ''VideoGame/CryptWorlds'' has a pissing mechanic and a meter in the interface showing you how much piss you're carrying around. While being useful in other parts of the game, pissing in toilets serves no purpose.
* ''VideoGame/YumeNikki''. This is {{Justified|Trope}} here, however, because it's a dream.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'', the toilets and urinals can actually be used by Jimmy (though only to urinate), with a flush sound being heard should you choose to do so. You can also place firecrackers in the toilets. And if so inclined, you can drag another student over and give them a {{swirlie}}. All of this is purely optional, however.
* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword'' has a flushable toilet in Skyloft, though Link only sits on it.
* Several games made by Creator/QuanticDream offer the option of using the facilities. ''VideoGame/{{Fahrenheit}}'' and ''VideoGame/HeavyRain'' typically allow it every time you control a character who is currently in a building with a restroom, while ''VideoGame/BeyondTwoSouls'' used it much more sparingly.
* In the ''Megazeux'' module ''Cans'', you can interact with the toilet in Chuck's apartment. You can flush it (which just plays a flushing toilet sound effect), flush a cherry bomb down the toilet (which gets Chuck beat up by his downstairs neighbor), or try to hold a conversation with it (which leaves Chuck thoroughly weirded out when ''[[SurrealHumor the toilet talks back]]'').
* Normally, clicking an object in ''VideoGame/{{Phantasmagoria}}'' shows Adrienne approaching it to use it. Clicking on the mansion's toilet instead makes her approach the door, showing it politely closing from outside, a few seconds of silence, then the obligatory flushing sound. Then the door opens again and gameplay resumes.

* ''VideoGame/DukeNukem3D'' has interactive toilets, but then again, a lot of stuff is more or less interactive in that game. Toilets and urinals can be used (the way they're typically used...) every few minutes to restore 10 health points, and they can also be destroyed to yield a stream of water that can heal the player to maximum, though ''very'' slowly.
** In ''VideoGame/DukeNukemForever'', the toilets can be used. Unfortunately, one of the toilets has already been used...and that person didn't flush. You can get an achievement for poking the matter in the unflushed toilet.
* ''VideoGame/ShadowWarrior1997'' has some flushable toilets.

* The ''VideoGame/BioShock'' games. The sinks and bathtub fixtures work as well, and are equally pointless. The ones in ''[[VideoGame/BioShockInfinite Infinite]]'' don't shut themselves off, so you can roleplay as a [[Film/HomeAlone Wet Bandit]] if you like.
* In Running With Scissors's ''VideoGame/Postal2'', the player is actually able to wee the whole place upside down, and in fact even urinate on burning victims--the toilets, however, still serve no function.

* In ''[=TekWar=]'', toilets were one of the very few objects you could interact with in a non-gameplay-critical way. Pressing the use key while facing a toilet and being near it would simply play a flushing sound.
* ''VideoGame/{{Dusk}}'' has toilets that allow you to flush ''everything'' that is placed on them, no matter how big the prop is. Soap bars, toilet paper rolls, bones, wooden boxes and even corpses - everything goes. [[spoiler:You can even flush yourself [[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows Harry Potter style]] in one instance to access a secret level.]] They can also be used to [[AwesomeButImpractical extinguish burning objects]].

* One house in ''VideoGame/JablessAdventure'' has a toilet which you can shoot with your gun to flush it.

* Surprisingly averted in ''VideoGame/MOTHER3''. Chapter 8 has a whole toilet dungeon, but none of the toilets there can be flushed.
* Subverted in the ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' series as the player can actually drink from the toilet -- though the water, like all non-purified water in the game, is irradiated. In fact, toilet water tends to be a bit more irradiated than other water sources.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'' actually let you do this to absolutely no benefit to the player.

* The toilet in ''{{VideoGame/Deltarune}}'' can be flushed multiple times; a fanfare plays when it is flushed. Do this enough times, and Toriel will ask Kris [[NoodleIncident if they flushed a bath bomb again]]. Keep doing this, and she'll declare that they'll be footing the plumbing bill if the toilet breaks.
* The school restroom can be entered in the ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' games, such as ''VideoGame/Persona4'' and ''VideoGame/Persona5''. Upon entering, the protagonist will ponder about their activities and goals that the player can choose to accomplish, such as completing a social link. Sometimes, they will even find an item that can be used in battle.
* ''VideoGame/TheCoffinOfAndyAndLeyley'': The toilet in the titular apartment Andy and Leyley live in during the first chapter, naturally for no reason.

* ''VideoGame/SilentHillDownpour'' allows the player to flush every toilet in the game if they wish.
* ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine'' has these at the beginning of Chapter 3.
