The inverse of [[Notice This]], where the game gives a clear, well-defined meaning to specific things to draw you in. Related to [[Pixel Hunt]], which is the equivalent of this in point-and-click games. Often a case of [[Gotta Catch Them All]].

* You can and should check trash cans for items in ''[[EarthBound]]''. The fact that the protagonist picks up food items such as hamburgers and sandwiches from them has become something of a running gag among the game's fandom.
Line 69:
* The ''[[Thief]]'' series was all about this. Finding every last piece of valuable loot in each level involved thoroughly checking every nook and cranny, and that's when there were no weird secret passages involved. The very first level of ''Thief 2'' for example included 3 gold coins left on a shelf that could only be seen by looking up while going down the back stairs to the mansion's kitchen (or turning around midway while climbing up the stairs).
* ''[[Snailiad]]'', being a [[Metroidvania]], obviously has this to some extent.
* When you visit wrecks in ''[[Subnautica]]'' -- ''especially'' when you explore the ''Aurora'' -- make sure you have a propulsion or repulsion gun on you. Because you never know what you might find underneath a pile of movable wreckage you can't otherwise move. Similarly, have plenty of fire extinguishers handy when you visit the ''Aurora'' -- several fires, particularly near the entrance to the interior, have loot sitting ''inside'' them.
