Which games say something extra for quitting or save/load/restore?
I'm thinking largely of parser commands, but Twine is welcome, too.
For instance, a "ha ha, you're scared," when facing the big, bad villain, or one of their henchmen. Or maybe when in a maze. It doesn't necessarily short-circuit the load/resave, but it may needle you, especially if it is in a semi-randomized area.
This needn't be restricted to taunting. I appreciate the non-taunting examples I've read so far--including some works I've played before and forgot!
