* In one of the ''[[Witchcraft]]'' gameplay examples they have on the Eden Studios website, the bumbling villain uses a psionic effect to do a kind of Jedi Mind Trick on an NPC, forcing her to do one sentence's worth of activities ("You love me and want nothing more than to follow me out of this bar.") so he can sacrifice her for evil purposes. However, what happens is that the PC breaks the effect, making her believe that he tried to hypnotize her, rather than [[Weirdness Censor|use mind control]], and so the lady proceeds to [[Groin Attack|kick him in the balls]], then smash his face in with a pool ball. |

* In ''Candor'' by Pam Bachorz, the [[Stepford Suburbia]] town of Candor brainwashes its citizens through subliminal messages hidden in the music playing throughout the city. If people try to leave, they often go crazy. Oscar, the son of the town's founder, starts a business where he helps teenagers escape before the brainwashing completely takes hold of them. He himself manages not to be brainwashed by listening to his own subliminal messages. |
