* AmputativeSentencing: In the route where Lady Brit is arrested for spying for Fortinbras, she is sentenced to execution. Queen Gertrude intervenes on her behalf and has her sentence reduced to exile. However, because King Claudius did not approve Brit’s pardon, one of her hands is cut off as “proof” of her death.

** Peter Quince is just a minor comic relief character in ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'', idealistic and agreeable if artistically inept. Here he's a much more mischievous [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Happy Mask Salesman]]-esque figure, whose plays have a tendency to cause very sudden misfortune. [[spoiler:And not only that, he's the BigBad and is implied to be immortal and thousands of years old, with frightening supernatural power.]]

* GoldenEnding: [[spoiler: Averted. Every single one of the game's 11 (+2 secret) endings results in death and misfortune - even the sole path through the game's events that features no deaths strongly implies that a war with heavy losses is about to be waged anyway. Even one of the secret endings of the game results in a FateWorseThanDeath for Ophelia as she traps herself in the time loop for good with Quince, preventing him from ever harming anyone else ever again.]]

This trope is also subverted as there is one ending that seems to result in a happy fate for everyone... only for it to all turn to be an illusion and Quince taunting Ophelia.]]
