Line 109:
* Outerlight's games ''[[The Ship]]'' and ''[[Bloody Good Time]]'' are based around this trope. Kill a specific target while avoiding your killer...which is harder than it sounds for a game without very many NPCs that share player appearance, because of the needs system. Don't fulfill your character's needs? You lose control and present your killer with a very vulnerable target.
* The Wanted mode of ''[[Assassin's Creed]]: Brotherhood'' Multiplayer is all about this. Each player is given the goal of assassinating specific players within an area filled with similar-looking NPCs. The player then must find and kill their target while avoiding assassination themselves.
* In ''[[Dragon Age]]'' Zevran will be targeted by the Crows if he the Warden spares him. While Master Ignatio doesn't act against Zevran, declaring him to be dead in his eyes, Zevran's old comrade Talesin will track him down and make him a final offer: rejoin the Crows or die. If Zevran's loyalty is high enough, he will fight against Talesin at your side. How Zevran's battle with the Crows is resolved depends on whether or not the Warden sacrifices himself/herself. If the Warden lives, Zevran will continue to fight and evade the Crows as best he can while living his life {{spoiler|which is apparently canon in ''[[Dragon Age II]]''}}. If the Warden dies, {{spoiler|Zevran will return to Antiva and singlehandedly take over the Crows and become their new Grand Master. His epilogue questions whether this counts as a victory or a defeat.}}
* ''[[Frontier: First Encounters]]'' has two missions involving a civil war on an independent planet - "Assassinate Dentara Rast" and later "Assassinate the Assassin of Dentara Rast" (whether [[Player Character]] took and completed the first mission or not). After some time interested parties will claim (they want to have this issue closed) that the assassin is dead - even if you, ah, happen to have first-hand knowledge that it's not true - but meanwhile a lot of people WILL try to get the reward. As the author of one walkthrough put it, "In case you ''are'' the Assassin of Dentara Rast, and are trying to work out the logistics of killing yourself while still being in a position to receive your reward, you should note that the authorities are not stupid. They ''do'' notice what you do."
