Maybe The Dev Team Thinks of Everything

Or a variant of Video Game Achievements?

Definitely not The Dev Team Thinks of Everything, unless the game is intended to be Unwinnable by Design. I hardly think "winning" can be considered unexpected on the part of any developer.

Cosmetic Award (to which Video Game Achievements is a Pot Hole) fits, though. It's a reward that serves literally no function other than to indicate that you've achieved something.

I feel like I've seen this specific variant at least a few times, though. It could be a Sub-Trope of Cosmetic Award.

I know what you're talking about, if no one finds it you might have a trope here; Half Life and Portal both change the title screen to reflect the look of where you are in the game in your most recent save file.
