* ''[[Space Quest]] I'' In the very beginning, Roger Wilco awakens in his closet from the sounds of gun fire and commotion as the ship he is on is taken over by the enemy Sariens. By the time he exits the closet, the crew is already dead, the self-destruction sequence is already engaged, and he has to find his way to the escape pod while avoiding the invaders who are still looking for any living souls who they might have missed. |

* The Golems of Amgarrak DLC for [[Dragon Age]] offers a double dose of this trope. Not only are you exploring the fantasy equivalent of an abandoned laboratory where the researchers [[Gone Horribly Right|were killed by their creation]], but you are following in the steps of a previous expedition that attempted to explore the place and were slaughtered. |

* Every level in ''[[Killer7]]'' amounts to this - the titular assassin group arrives to perform a job, and Travis fills them in on why, exactly, someone has to be killed. |
