Line 76:
* ''Four Dogs Playing Poker'' has four friends who had stolen a statuette find it has disappeared. They need to pay for it or be killed by the buyer- so they take out insurance policies on each other, and draw cards to see who will be the murderer and victim. But there's a twist...
* Excessively used in the American remake of the horror movie ''[[Silent House]]''. After being chased around the house by a mysterious burly man, and her father and uncle get attacked by the man and taken away, she{[who|A character name would be nice}} finds out from a woman who claims to be her childhood friend that her father and uncle used her and the main character in child pornography and that the mysterious woman was the killer the whole time. Then it turns out the woman doesn't exist and that the main character was the killer. ''Then'', after killing her unrepentant father and sparing her repentant uncle, it turns out neither of them exist. [[Mind Screw|Maybe?]]
* ''[[Sadako vs.

Line 123:
*** The third game in the series seems to indicate that the second theory is true. Note, however, that the third game wasn’t made by original creator Ron Gilbert. We still don’t know what his plans for Monkey Island 3 were.
* '''[[Final Fantasy XIII-2]]'''. {{spoiler|It turns out that actually [[You Can't Fight Fate]]. Everything you did during the game just furthered the villain's plans, in the end he succeeds in his plan to destroy ''time itself'', and there's ''literally nothing you can do about it.'' In fact, for [[100% Completion]], you get a scene from the villain, mocking the ''player'' for trying to find a way out of the trap. As he points out, every timeline ends with Etro dying, time itself collapsing in a [[Time Crash]], and his plans coming to fruition -- only the fine details change. And since he can see the entirety of the timeline, ''he knew this the whole time.'' There are some [[Sequel Hook]]s (for planned DLC expansions)... but for the first time in the series' history, '''[[The Bad Guy Wins]].'''}}
* ''[[Honkai Impact 3rd]]'''s "Estival Seaside Amusement Park" event starts out cutely as the Captain and Seele go around catching Honkai beasts ''[[Pokémon]]''-style for a competition. Strange things start happening along the way, but it isn't until the end that the truth is revealed: {{spoiler|The whole thing was Seele's dream that she pulled the Captain (and it is implied Delta as well) into, and the Captain has to be taken back to reality.}}
* ''[[Five Nights at Freddy's|Five Nights at Freddy's 2]]''; the first game takes place at failing dive of a [[Suck E. Cheese's]] full of obvious OSHA and health code violations with animatronics that would be terrifying even if they ''weren't'' monsters trying to kill you (which they are). This time around, you're told at the beginning that this is a grand reopening of a "new and improved" Freddy's Fazbear, and it does seem cleaner with the equipment in much better condition, with the animatronics looking less horrific and with new technology (which, it seems, does little to keep them from trying to kill you). It's not until you complete all five nights and receive your paycheck, at which point you see that the date on it is 1987. You've been playing a ''prequel'' all along, and this game was in fact, a retelling of the bloody "Crash of '87" that the Phone Guy was describing in the first game.
* If you're a fan of the original ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', you might notice a few things about the remake that seem... wrong, with many things in the story diverging from the original. It is not until the end where the plot seriously goes off the rails (Aerith surviving, but Barret dying, only to be brought back to life by the [[Powers That Be]] because he's "not supposed" to die then and there) that the player learns this is ''not'' a remake, but an alternate retelling of the story. And it's not the ending, either. The final scene in the game has the heroes follow Sepiroth into a different reality (Aerith stating that they are now truly past the [[Point of No Return]]) where an ''entirely'' different story will begin, hopefully in the upcoming sequel.

'''Bender:''' Saw it comin'. }}
* There's a ''[[Hey Arnold!]]'' episode where Sid thinks Stinky is a vampire and at the end he turns out to be right. This has no impact on the rest of the show.
* The season 5 [[Grand Finale]] of ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' does this to the ''first'' episode, where the battle concluded with Aku flinging the hero through a time portal into a [[Bad Future]] "where my evil is law." Aku said, at the end of that episode, "We will meet again, Samurai, but next time you will not be so fortunate". Well, he was only ''too'' right on the first part of that claim, but dead wrong on the second. The events of the Finale cause Jack to return only ''seconds'' later with Ashi [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain|(Aku's own daughter from said bad future)]] by his side, and Aku can only shout that [[Irony|"You're back already??"]] and with Jack now having [[Villain Forgot to Level Grind| ''fifty years'' more experience]] under his belt due to [[Year Outside, Hour Inside|the difference in time]], Aku stands no chance and is quickly crushed, thus finally ending his reign of terror
