* ''[[Disgaea]]'': There are three locations inside the Overlord's Castle that must be examined to unlock Etna's diary—two switches and a corner. One switch is hidden behind the Overlord's throne; another is the skull on the RosenQueen shops' counter; finally, there's the corner of the pit in the room with the music merchant. In ''[[Updated Rerelease|DS]]'', the corner is made somewhat more obvious by a Prinny who comments that he “feels a breeze, dood.”
* In the ''[[Doom]]'' games and their [[Game Mod|many, many custom levels]], hidden switches frequently lead to secret areas and goodies. A favorite location for such switches is on the easily overlooked backs of chairs, columns, freestanding switch panels, etc.

** A trend continued to some extent by the later sequel, [[The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim]] - but not as much with items, as with where to find that lever to open a dungeon gate, or the symbols to solve a typical puzzle. In at least one case, the lever to open a door is LITERALLY 'behind the chair'.
*** As well, player mods for pretty much all of the moddable [[The Elder Scrolls|Elder Scrolls]] games play this as maddeningly straight as possible in many, many cases - such as one that puts a gold retexture of the Ebony Armor on a follower you can legally slaughter right outside the first town you get to after the tutorial. And what is said follower doing there? Camping. Ten feet from the town gate. For the entire game, if you never do pick him up.
* ''[[Fallout 3]]'' can become this if you're low on health items, ammo, guns or certain quest items. Not helped by almost every item that isn't nailed down being potentially collectable, and getting in the way of an item you actually want to pick up.
