* The makers of ''[[BioShock (series)]]'' went on record to explain why Rapture is a city at the bottom of the ocean and not, say, a hideout in Colorado: to [[Justified Trope|justify]] this trope. Otherwise, the player character could simply find a plane or just walk out into the wilderness to get away from the freaks in an open air environment. In Rapture, you are stuck down there until you finish the job. {{spoiler|Which hides the real reason you are down there obeying orders.}}

* ''[[System Shock]]'' and its sequel both strand you in deep space.

* ''[[Dead Space (video game)|Dead Space]]'' invokes this pretty early on, by having the shuttle you crash landed in explode in your face when you go back to try and repair it.

* In ''[[~~Earthbound~~]]'', you're stuck in Threed until you're done getting rid of the zombie invasion. Not to mention that various other techniques stick you in a small area: the [[Broken Bridge|blocked road]] that keeps you in your neighborhood until you investigate the meteor that fell during the night, the traffic jam in the desert... oh, and for the final showdown, you teleport to a place you can't return from.
