* MoodDissonance: Often, even after the happy flash game facade falls, elements from it still remain, upping the horror through juxtaposition:
** On the second dress-up segment in ''Lacey's Wardrobe'', even after the Stalker calls and peers through the window, selecting clothes for Lacey still produces the sparkly sound effect.
** In ''Lacey's Diner'', the ''food'' Lacey makes on the third day on the bad ending route is presented in the same manner as the food she cooks in the normal route: with fanfare, a pink background, and sparkles.

* SanitySlippage: In the bad ending route, when Lacey fails to serve food to her customers on time and they walk out, she freaks out and goes into a depressive mood with suicidal thoughts.

[[caption-width-right:350:What a cute girl. [[TemptingFate I hope nothing bad happens to her.]]]]

The ''Lacey Games'' are of series Flash games that chronicles Lacey, a seemingly innocent girl. And you're going to help her out on her little adventures!

In ''Lacey's Wardrobe'', Lacey has a busy day. She'll go picnicking in the morning, go shopping at afternoon, then go on a date with a cute guy at night. Only problem is that she doesn't know what to wear, and that you'll help her dressing up.

In ''Lacey's Diner'', Lacey has recently opened up a new restaurant, and once again, it is up to you to help her cook food and serve to the customers.

Despite all of this, The ''Lacey Games'' are, in truth, a series of [[SurrealHorror Surreal]] and PsychologicalHorror videos that [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstruct]] the genre of [[UsefulNotes/AdobeFlash Flash games]].

You can watch the videos on the [[https://www.youtube.com/@ghosttundra creator's]] channel, but be warned: '''severely dark and sensitive topics are covered.'''
