Line 11:
** And then [[Rocks Fall Everybody Dies|rocks fall and everybody dies.]] Seven times.
* The board game ''[[Arkham Horror]]'' has Mythos cards which might as well be called "It Got Worse" cards. Drawn at the start of a turn, they open new dimensional gates, release new monsters, move the monsters around the board, and count down remaining time until [[Eldritch Abomination|the Ancient One]] awakens and [[Endofthe World As We Know It|eats the world]].
* In the ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' Avatar Crisis, the forced descent of all the gods into mortal bodies caused havoc with the Weave--outside of the several-mile radius which surrounded an avatar, magic was unpredictable, either not working at all, working with a quirk, going wild, or blowing up in your face. It was spellcast at your own risk. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Then Helm killed Mystra]]...and things went entirely insane, magically.
* ''[[Cthulhu Tech]]'' and its history is pretty much made of this trope. Mankind just got out of a war, only to be invaded by the Migo. The Deep Ones decide to invade parts of the surface. HASTUR gets summoned and starts his own little genocide. Humans are being transformed by an evil corporation into monsters. The best part? This is the prologue.
* In the indie game ''[[My Life With Master]],'' a character that acquires too much Self Loathing through doing the work of the evil Master will unleash a "Horror Revealed," in which things get worse for the community at large. And if it gets too bad...well, that's when the [[Torches and Pitchforks]] start coming out...
