* A beneficial subversion happens in ''VideoGame/TheConsumingShadow''. As the main character's sanity diminishes, the game can sometimes trick the player into attempting suicide via InterfaceScrew, leading to a short minigame where the player must resist the character's attempt to shoot themselves. However, if the player is entirely out of bullets and fails the minigame, the game-ending shot is replaced with a cut to black accompanied by the unceremonious but relieving click of the character's empty gun.
