* ''[[Doki Doki Literature Club!]]'''s cover looks colorful, happy, and such. Which actually matches the parts of the game. This trope is mitigated by the content warning.
* Occasionally a game will get away with using beta screenshots on the back of the game box, sometimes these only faintly resemble the finished game. An example of this is [http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/2/256222_16855_back.jpg the boxart for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos] which shows buildings a lot taller than the units themselves, as well as units that weren't even in the final game (although most were added later in the expansion pack or through modding).
** [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]] had the same thing happen as well. [http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/5148/darknuttwilight1cq7.jpg One of the screenshots] on the back of the box is from a beta version of the game that had a magic meter when the final game is among the few non-handheld installments in the series since the second game (the first to have a magic meter) to lack one. This led people believe that at some point in the game Link would get access to spells, but they were all sadly mistaken.
Line 607 ⟶ 608:
* The cover of ''[[Final Fantasy XIII-2]]'' is only a picture of Lightning, similar to the [[Final Fantasy XIII|previous game's]] cover. Unlike the previous game, however, she is not the main protagonist (who is her sister Serah this time), nor does she play a huge role in the story.
* ''[[Tomb Raider]] Chronicles'' shows Lara Croft in a cat spy suit jumping out of a building shooting at someone with her signature dual pistols. Lara does infiltrate a building in the advertised outfit and the cut scene for the first level even shows her shooting a vent grate off with a pistol, but in the actual game, she doesn't have her pistols, but a limited ammo based machine gun.
