Line 139:
* In ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'', the Narrator is revealed in the secret ending to be {{spoiler|Cid of the Lufaine.}} In said ending, he appears to be narrating the end of the story, {{spoiler|only for Cosmos to raise her head and begin speaking to him.}} It's a rare occurrence of this trope being absolutely dead serious.
* The trailers for the ''[[Persona 4 Arena]]'' have the [[Lemony Narrator]] giving insulting nicknames to each of the Team's members which, naturally, they complain about.
* The narrator in the ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' games is also [[Big Bad]] Shao Kahn. In some games, when he wins a fight, the narrator will sometimes say "I win" instead of "Shao Kahn wins". Oddly, he seems completely non-biased, even while narrating endings where the Earthrealm warriors triumph.
* In ''[[Bastion]]'', the narrator is Rucks, one of the last survivors of the Calamity and {{spoiler|the one responsible for creating the Bastion}}. He provides running commentary on [[The Hero|the Kid's]] journey, as well as [[Heroic Mime|his voice]] when he talks to the other survivors.
* The narrator of the Source Mod ''[[The Stanley Parable]]'' seems to gently nudge you in the direction that leads to freedom. And by gently, we mean he gives you the solution to a puzzle almost completely upfront. If you try to go [[Off the Rails]] in any way however, he quickly grows annoyed at your attempts and will try to stop your progress in any way he can, giving you a [["The Reason You Suck" Speech]] along the way.
* [[The Stinger]] of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' reveals that Rosalina was actually narrating the game's plot via a storybook she was reading to the Lumas. At the end of "The Perfect Run", she writes herself into her own book to give Mario/Luigi the final Power Star.
* The Narrator in ''[[The Adventures of Sam & Max: Freelance Police]]'' turns out to be an interesting subversion. {{spoiler|In the final episode he's revealed to actually exist within Sam & Max's universe, as the personification of Max's super-ego, and lives inside his brain. Even after we learn this, however, he continues to narrate somewhat and [[Fourth Wall Observer|address the audience beyond the fourth wall]].}}
* ''[[The Juggler's Tale]]'' is a platformer and puzzle game where the protagonist, Abby, is a living marionette, trying to escape the cruel Ringmaster and win her freedom. [[Rhymes on a Dime| The rhyming Narrator]] not only gives her advice, but seems to be the one holding her strings, occasionally lifting her over and away from danger. {{spoiler| Eventually, however, it is revealed he is the true [[Big Bad]], upset that Abby is going off script, and the one placing her in danger to begin with.}}▼
