* ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'': Sylar, in disguise, is talking with Sandra Bennett about the then-unnamed HRG. Sylar says that he never saw "Mr. Bennett" as a dog person. Sandra responds by wondering why everyone always calls him Mr. Bennett, then says "I've always known him as..." before being interrupted by her dog Mr. Muggles licking Sylar's feet.

** The creator commentary for the first-season finale has the creators talking loudly over the reveal HRG's name. Possibly intentional, but hilarious coincidence if it isn't.

* In the first ''[[Kingdom Hearts (video game)|Kingdom Hearts]]'', [[Mickey Mouse]] is never seen properly. His voice is heard a few times, but even in the final cutscene you can only see his silhouette before he {{spoiler|locks himself behind the Door to Darkness.}} And we never find out how he got out!

* In the ''[[Command and Conquer]]'' series... hope you weren't expecting ''Tiberian Twilight'' to actually answer any of the big questions from the series. All the game reveals is that Kane is {{spoiler|an alien, and a very old one}}, which the previous game had blatantly alluded to anyhow.

* The significance of Ashley's dead family in ''[[Vagrant Story]]'' is never explained. Maybe he genuinely had a wife and son who were killed by thugs during a family picnic... or maybe he murdered an innocent family in the course of his duties as a soldier, and through a combination of his own grief and advanced brainwashing techniques, managed to convince himself they were his family rather than face up to the truth.

** That's only the biggest unreveal, and is the only one the game goes out of its way to point out to you. A discouragingly large amount of the plot goes unexplained, despite that ''Vagrant Story'' never stops dropping hints that the ''next'' bit of dialogue or the ''next'' cutscene will explain something important, and is a Squaresoft game, a company that loves its exposition so much its works will usually go into detail about anything and everything they can.
