Good to see you buddy, how've you been?\\
Thing have been OK for me, except that I'm a zombie now\\
I really wish you'd let us in\\
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand\\

* ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'': Many of the story lines involve the characters treating the various horrors of the Neath as workplace inconveniences. The Exceptional Story The Bloody Wallpaper is a standout example. In it the player is charged with working a shift at the [[BedlamHouse Royal Bethlehem Hotel]] and the horror comes equally from the threats and dangers within the hotel itself, and the soul crushing horror of having to [[StepfordSmiler keep smiling]] while dealing with the inconsiderate and disgusting guests. It is equally comparable to a surreal nightmare and a tough shift at a bad service job.

* ''VideoGame/FearsToFathom'': In a first for the series (unless one counts Noah's housesitting duties in ''Carson House''), ''Ironbark Lookout'' heavily revolves around the player carrying out Jack's duties as the new fire lookout in a state park. This includes recording the wind speed, temperature and weather each night before turning in, communicating with other lookouts, investigating problem campers and assisting a lost hiker over the radio. Over the course of about a week, Jack starts to sense there's something sinister going on in the park, but the other staff are either dismissive or give only cryptic warnings.

* The nosleep [[Website/{{Reddit}} subreddit]] and similar online forums are fond of a genre known as 'rules horror', many of which follow the same formula; A (often nameless) protagonist, desperate for work, sign on to a mysterious business with the promise of a paycheck. Upon arriving they find a list of rules that ''must'' be followed to keep away the monsters/evil/CosmicHorror away, [[InevitablyBrokenRule which will inevitably be broken.]]

* ''VideoGame/KillerFrequency'': The game's plot involves a radio jockey (Forrest Nash) and his producer (Peggy Weaver) trying to manage a usual call-in radio station routine, but on the night Gallows Creek's mythical serial killer The Whistling Man returns to take revenge on the town. Due to earlier circumstances, you're also tasked by the town's only 911 operator Leslie to serve as a temporary operator team, while she gets help from a neighboring town. In their radio station, Forrest and Peggy have to juggle listening to callers, some of whom will be potential victims, and give them directions on how to survive their plight to avoid The Whistling Man killing them. Failure will result in listening to horrific murders, while the leads can only contemplate the safety of the radio station. At the same time, you're tasked with playing music and ads, interviewing people, and dealing with the occasional prank caller. [[spoiler: In the game's climax, Forrest's safety inside the radio station is tested when The Whistling Man traps you inside with them.]]
