** She is heavily styled as this in the first game, with more modest clothes and a less abrasive personality compared to the other female character Ashley. She's described as [[TheSmartGuy an ace student]], and not only do her special abilities, offering puzzle tips and using first aid kits more effectively (including when healing other characters), reflect this, the fact that those abilities don't offer any combat utility means that she's best kept at the main gathering site versus more combat-oriented characters like Ashley and Kenny -- so in a playthrough where things go wrong, she'll probably be one of the last people to die.

!Straight examples
* From ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', we have Rebecca Chambers, the sole official survivor of her team from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0''. While both Claire Redfield in [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 the second game]] and Jill Valentine in [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis the third]] also qualify, especially when facing off against monsters like Mr. X, G-Birkin, and Nemesis who heavily evoke the StockSlasher, Rebecca in ''0'' goes above and beyond by being a GirlyGirl in a series filled with {{Action Girl}}s who outlasts all the male police officers around her. The game also has a playable male character in the ex-Navy SEAL and convicted murderer Billy Coen, though his fate is left ambiguous.
* A rare non horror version of this is ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' in the form of Mithra.
* A definite possibility for Jennifer in ''VideoGame/ClockTower''. Indeed, the sequel confirms her to be the sole survivor. Played with in the sequel as there are two possible Final Girls: Jennifer and her guardian Helen. Jennifer can survive again, but none of the endings depict her as the sole survivor this time. Can be played straight if the player chooses to play as Helen instead, as Jennifer can die in one of the endings, making Helen the Final Girl. Both can also survive together or be killed, depending on choices made.
* Can easily happen in ''VideoGame/FridayThe13thTheGame'' if a female character is the only survivor, but invoked as a game mechanic: at least one female counselor has to still be alive to kill Jason, as the process of doing so requires one to imitate Ginny's (the Final Girl of Part 2) DeadPersonImpersonation to leave him vulnerable for Tommy Jarvis to land the killing blow and he's completely impossible to kill otherwise. Counselor Jenny Myers is also based off this trope and is an Expy of final girl Chris Higgins from ''Film/FridayThe13thPartIII''. Jenny is still able to be killed by Jason though. There's also an achievement called "The (Unlikely) Final Girl" for being the sole survivor of a match while playing hot chick party girl Tiffany.
* Amanda Ripley is the SoleSurvivor in ''VideoGame/AlienIsolation''. Her mother would be proud.
* In ''Maze 5: Sinister Play'' Sophie is the only survivor after RealityWarper twins place her and her best friends JP and Dario in situations based on the horror stories they made up to tell each other during the camping trip which never took place.
* Can happen in ''VideoGame/JurassicParkTheGame''. If the player has Nima go for the embryo can instead of rescuing Jess, and Gerry is eaten by the ''Tyrannosaurus Rex'', the result is a cut scene with Jess alone and traumatized in the boat.
!Subversions, aversions, and parodies
* The games in ''VideoGame/TheDarkPicturesAnthology'' can have this played straight, subverted, or averted in each game. However, very few female characters actually fit the archetype, and a clear protagonist is never truly specified in two of the three games in the series. ''VideoGame/LittleHope'' comes the closest, with the protagonist actually being a Final ''Boy'' in Andrew. He has only one possible death compared to the numerous deaths the other characters have and cannot die until the final cutscene. The third installment ''VideoGame/HouseOfAshes'' actually has an achievement if only one character makes it out alive. However, it can be any of the five, allowing for subversions if the player wishes.
* Invoked in ''VideoGame/DeadByDaylight''. Some characters and perks work better if you're the last survivor of your team, giving you an easier chance to escape from the killer. An escape hatch will also open up, giving the player an easier time of getting out if they could find it.
* Averted in ''VideoGame/DinoCrisis'', no matter what ending you get, Regina and [[BlackDudeDiesFirst Ri]][[AvertedTrope ck]] will always survive, but Gail and Doctor Kirk [[MultipleEndings may or may not]]. But played with but probably played straight in the sequel. Dylan and Paula make it to the gate room, but Regina is the only character that definitely survives the entire ordeal. Dylan and Paula might have if Regina did perfect a time gate and save them at the last moment.
* ''VideoGame/TheHappyhillsHomicide'': Seems to be set up with Madison Carpenter. She is the first and only victim to survive the Clown's attempt on her life, even getting police protection afterwards. [[spoiler: Sadly, it's a subverted example in the end. The Clown simply finds out where Madison lives, kills the cop stationed in front of her house and breaks in. Though Madison does put up a good fight, she ultimately dies when the Clown throws a baseball bat at her, causing her to fall down the stairs and break her neck.]]
* Completely averted in ''VideoGame/PeretEmHeruForThePrisoners''; fuck up one too many times, and both of the final survivors will be men.
* Like its predecessors, ''VideoGame/TheQuarry'' allows for this trope to be played straight, subverted, or averted depending on player choice. However, like in ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'' two characters in particular are set up to be this trope with achievements to be earned if they are the sole survivor of the game.
** [[ActionGirl Kaitlyn]] is the straightest example with her being the most supportive and levelheaded of the group with undoubtedly the best aim with a gun out of all 9 playable characters. In the game's climax, the player gets to guide her through the lodge culminating with her either trapping the werewolf pursuing her or shooting them with a silver bullet. Like ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'''s Sam, she is among the only characters that can't die before chapter 9 and provided [[DeadpanSnarker Dylan]] is alive, she cannot die until the final chapter. The game will even change the title of the final chapter to "The Final Girl" if she is left alone in the final confrontation with one of the werewolves with the achievement for her being the SoleSurvivor taking on the same title.
** The game also awards the player with an achievement for Ryan coming out of the story as the SoleSurvivor. He's a lot more subversive than Kaitlyn, being a lot more distant and brooding comparatively.
** Abigail, like ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'''s Ashley, before her acts as a SubvertedTrope, though to a lesser extent. Abigail fits the bill of the traditional final girl being reserved, shy, and virginal, but she ultimately only serves as a supporting role in the story being locked up in a different room in the lodge while Kaitlyn does the actual fighting. She can potentially pass Kaitlyn a silver bullet to kill Caleb with, however.
** Laura also fits the bill as an ActionGirl who participates in the final confrontation with the werewolf from whom the curse originates, which, provided the player makes the right decisions to get to that scene, will be the last thing the player does in the game.
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/{{Shivers}}''. When Beth and Merrick released the Ixupi 15 years in the past, Beth was the last survivor. She figured out how to solve all the museum's puzzles, but she died before she could finish the job.
* The Final Girl is the unlockable class in the slasher themed DLC "Bring the Crunch" of ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole''. It turns the New Kid into an ActionSurvivor who fights with improvised weapons (throwing garden shears, laying down sawblades as traps, blowing up enemies with a bomb attached to a sledgehammer), with the LimitBreak showing the New Kid being chased into a toolshed by monsters and MacGyvering a brutal chainsaw/axe combo to turn the tide on [[InjuredVulnerability low-health enemies]] by instantly killing them, even bosses. Despite the name, the player can be of any gender when using the class. Gets lampshaded by Spontaneous Bootay (an obese stripper who was an AdvancingBossOfDoom the last time she was seen beforehand), whereafter the New Kid changes to the Final Girl class, Bootay refuses to fight them and walks away since the class is her kryptonite.
--> '''Spontaneous Bootay''': Hell no! [[KnowWhenToFoldEm I ain't fighting no Final Girl, with their lucky surviving ass!]] [[KryptoniteFactor That's my Kryptonite, baby!]] [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I'm outta here!]]
* In the Survival Horror mech game ''Space Griffon [=VF9=]'' the final girl is the useless DamselInDistress scientist the hero picks up who is trapped in a locked room on the station. It appears the awesomely classy punk rocker chick will survive, [[IdiotBall but then she sacrifices herself to kill her brother]] who CameBackWrong when he shows up out of nowhere in the final sequence. The crazy/idiot thing about it? Both you and her have battlemechs. He's in a hybrid recon/maintenance mecha. Even if he had gotten the drop on you in an ambush (and he didn't) either one of you could mop the floor with him without much trouble, so her completely random sacrifice was a waste, especially as the real BigBad is still alive and waiting for you at the hangar. He's a mad scientist who turned himself into an EldritchAbomination kaiju, so if anyone needed a mech blowing up in their face it definitely would have been then. It's a pretty difficult fight, so you'll find yourself wishing she'd have saved herself for this instead.
* In the [[http://storynexus.com/s Storynexus]] game ''Final Girl'' this can be played straight, subverted or averted, [[MultipleEndings depending on your choices]].
* In the 2012 version of ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'', [[MonsterClown Sweet]] [[SerialKiller Tooth]]'s wish is to track down his Final Girl, his daughter Sophia, so he can finally kill her. Only it turns out she had already [[DrivenToSuicide killed herself]] as a result of the trauma she went through. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor The result?]] Calypso [[BuriedAlive buries Sweet Tooth alive]] in Sophia's casket. TheStinger reveals that Calypso later revived Sophia as a MonsterClown just like her father, in order to serve as a contestant in next year's [[DeadlyGame tournament]].
* Can be played straight, subverted, or averted in ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'', a game in which [[EverybodyLives all the characters can survive]], [[EverybodyDiesEnding none of them do]], or everybody ''except'' the obvious final girl survives. However, there are two characters who are set up as this archetype.
** Sam is the final person who is able to be killed in the game, only killable in the final cutscene, a distinction she shares with [[LovableJock Mike]]. She is also put in heavy focus; she is voiced by Creator/HaydenPanettiere, who was arguably the biggest name in the cast (at least at the time; Creator/RamiMalek is now an A-lister), she tries to discourage her friends from going through with the DeadlyPrank that gets Beth and Hannah killed in the prologue, and she is presented as [[ActionGirl athletic]] and fairly morally upright in contrast to the AlphaBitch Emily and the [[MsFanservice sexy blonde]] Jessica.
** Ashley is also presented as an obvious final girl, being a fairly meek BrainyBrunette with mostly academic interests. [[SubvertedTrope However]], she takes part in the aforementioned DeadlyPrank, and depending on how you play, her BitchInSheepsClothing tendencies may come out over the course of the game. If Emily gets bitten by a {{wendigo}}, she'll think Emily's a ZombieInfectee based purely on (what turn out to be false) assumptions about how wendigos work, and if Mike decides not to shoot her, Emily will give her a [[WhatTheHellHero well-deserved]] slap for it. Meanwhile, if Chris puts her on the receiving end of the SadisticChoice he's forced into, she will refuse to forgive him and will leave him to die later on, even though Chris' other option was (as far as he knew) ''suicide''. Also, she can receive the most blatantly obvious SchmuckBait death in the game, opening up a cellar door that someone, or some''thing'', is banging on and getting decapitated by the wendigo lurking behind it imitating Jessica's voice.
** Speaking of Jessica, it is possible for her to be the SoleSurvivor of the game's events as well. Mike has to follow as quickly as possible to catch up to the Wendigo while it absconds with Jess. This enables her survival long enough to fall into the underground caverns. Later, near the end of the game, Jessica has to remain perfectly still to avoid being killed by the Wendigo. Of course, Jessica is largely unaware of what's going on because she was knocked out for much of the second act. And by end of the game, Jessica suffers a major case of BreakTheCutie, regardless if she's the only survivor or not.
* ''VideoGame/TheWhiteChamber'' seems to play with this... and it seems quite ironic. Sarah may be the last survivor, but ''she was the killer''.
* From ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', we have Rebecca Chambers, the sole official survivor of her team from ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil0''. While both Claire Redfield in [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 the second game]] and Jill Valentine in [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil3Nemesis the third]] also qualify, especially when facing off against monsters like Mr. X, G-Birkin, and Nemesis who heavily evoke the StockSlasher, Rebecca in ''0'' goes above and beyond by being a GirlyGirl in a series filled with {{Action Girl}}s who outlasts all the male police officers around her. The game also has a playable male character in the ex-Navy SEAL and convicted murderer Billy Coen, though his fate is left ambiguous.
* A rare non horror version of this is ''VideoGame/AsurasWrath'' in the form of Mithra.
* A definite possibility for Jennifer in ''VideoGame/ClockTower''. Indeed, the sequel confirms her to be the sole survivor. Played with in the sequel as there are two possible Final Girls: Jennifer and her guardian Helen. Jennifer can survive again, but none of the endings depict her as the sole survivor this time. Can be played straight if the player chooses to play as Helen instead, as Jennifer can die in one of the endings, making Helen the Final Girl. Both can also survive together or be killed, depending on choices made.
* Can easily happen in ''VideoGame/FridayThe13thTheGame'' if a female character is the only survivor, but invoked as a game mechanic: at least one female counselor has to still be alive to kill Jason, as the process of doing so requires one to imitate Ginny's (the Final Girl of Part 2) DeadPersonImpersonation to leave him vulnerable for Tommy Jarvis to land the killing blow and he's completely impossible to kill otherwise. Counselor Jenny Myers is also based off this trope and is an Expy of final girl Chris Higgins from ''Film/FridayThe13thPartIII''. Jenny is still able to be killed by Jason though. There's also an achievement called "The (Unlikely) Final Girl" for being the sole survivor of a match while playing hot chick party girl Tiffany.
* Amanda Ripley is the SoleSurvivor in ''VideoGame/AlienIsolation''. Her mother would be proud.
* In ''Maze 5: Sinister Play'' Sophie is the only survivor after RealityWarper twins place her and her best friends JP and Dario in situations based on the horror stories they made up to tell each other during the camping trip which never took place.
* Can happen in ''VideoGame/JurassicParkTheGame''. If the player has Nima go for the embryo can instead of rescuing Jess, and Gerry is eaten by the ''Tyrannosaurus Rex'', the result is a cut scene with Jess alone and traumatized in the boat.
!Subversions, aversions, and parodies
* The games in ''VideoGame/TheDarkPicturesAnthology'' can have this played straight, subverted, or averted in each game. However, very few female characters actually fit the archetype, and a clear protagonist is never truly specified in two of the three games in the series. ''VideoGame/LittleHope'' comes the closest, with the protagonist actually being a Final ''Boy'' in Andrew. He has only one possible death compared to the numerous deaths the other characters have and cannot die until the final cutscene. The third installment ''VideoGame/HouseOfAshes'' actually has an achievement if only one character makes it out alive. However, it can be any of the five, allowing for subversions if the player wishes.
* Invoked in ''VideoGame/DeadByDaylight''. Some characters and perks work better if you're the last survivor of your team, giving you an easier chance to escape from the killer. An escape hatch will also open up, giving the player an easier time of getting out if they could find it.
* Averted in ''VideoGame/DinoCrisis'', no matter what ending you get, Regina and [[BlackDudeDiesFirst Ri]][[AvertedTrope ck]] will always survive, but Gail and Doctor Kirk [[MultipleEndings may or may not]]. But played with but probably played straight in the sequel. Dylan and Paula make it to the gate room, but Regina is the only character that definitely survives the entire ordeal. Dylan and Paula might have if Regina did perfect a time gate and save them at the last moment.
* ''VideoGame/TheHappyhillsHomicide'': Seems to be set up with Madison Carpenter. She is the first and only victim to survive the Clown's attempt on her life, even getting police protection afterwards. [[spoiler: Sadly, it's a subverted example in the end. The Clown simply finds out where Madison lives, kills the cop stationed in front of her house and breaks in. Though Madison does put up a good fight, she ultimately dies when the Clown throws a baseball bat at her, causing her to fall down the stairs and break her neck.]]
* Completely averted in ''VideoGame/PeretEmHeruForThePrisoners''; fuck up one too many times, and both of the final survivors will be men.
* Like its predecessors, ''VideoGame/TheQuarry'' allows for this trope to be played straight, subverted, or averted depending on player choice. However, like in ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'' two characters in particular are set up to be this trope with achievements to be earned if they are the sole survivor of the game.
** [[ActionGirl Kaitlyn]] is the straightest example with her being the most supportive and levelheaded of the group with undoubtedly the best aim with a gun out of all 9 playable characters. In the game's climax, the player gets to guide her through the lodge culminating with her either trapping the werewolf pursuing her or shooting them with a silver bullet. Like ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'''s Sam, she is among the only characters that can't die before chapter 9 and provided [[DeadpanSnarker Dylan]] is alive, she cannot die until the final chapter. The game will even change the title of the final chapter to "The Final Girl" if she is left alone in the final confrontation with one of the werewolves with the achievement for her being the SoleSurvivor taking on the same title.
** The game also awards the player with an achievement for Ryan coming out of the story as the SoleSurvivor. He's a lot more subversive than Kaitlyn, being a lot more distant and brooding comparatively.
** Abigail, like ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'''s Ashley, before her acts as a SubvertedTrope, though to a lesser extent. Abigail fits the bill of the traditional final girl being reserved, shy, and virginal, but she ultimately only serves as a supporting role in the story being locked up in a different room in the lodge while Kaitlyn does the actual fighting. She can potentially pass Kaitlyn a silver bullet to kill Caleb with, however.
** Laura also fits the bill as an ActionGirl who participates in the final confrontation with the werewolf from whom the curse originates, which, provided the player makes the right decisions to get to that scene, will be the last thing the player does in the game.
* Subverted in ''VideoGame/{{Shivers}}''. When Beth and Merrick released the Ixupi 15 years in the past, Beth was the last survivor. She figured out how to solve all the museum's puzzles, but she died before she could finish the job.
* The Final Girl is the unlockable class in the slasher themed DLC "Bring the Crunch" of ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole''. It turns the New Kid into an ActionSurvivor who fights with improvised weapons (throwing garden shears, laying down sawblades as traps, blowing up enemies with a bomb attached to a sledgehammer), with the LimitBreak showing the New Kid being chased into a toolshed by monsters and MacGyvering a brutal chainsaw/axe combo to turn the tide on [[InjuredVulnerability low-health enemies]] by instantly killing them, even bosses. Despite the name, the player can be of any gender when using the class. Gets lampshaded by Spontaneous Bootay (an obese stripper who was an AdvancingBossOfDoom the last time she was seen beforehand), whereafter the New Kid changes to the Final Girl class, Bootay refuses to fight them and walks away since the class is her kryptonite.
--> '''Spontaneous Bootay''': Hell no! [[KnowWhenToFoldEm I ain't fighting no Final Girl, with their lucky surviving ass!]] [[KryptoniteFactor That's my Kryptonite, baby!]] [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere I'm outta here!]]
* In the Survival Horror mech game ''Space Griffon [=VF9=]'' the final girl is the useless DamselInDistress scientist the hero picks up who is trapped in a locked room on the station. It appears the awesomely classy punk rocker chick will survive, [[IdiotBall but then she sacrifices herself to kill her brother]] who CameBackWrong when he shows up out of nowhere in the final sequence. The crazy/idiot thing about it? Both you and her have battlemechs. He's in a hybrid recon/maintenance mecha. Even if he had gotten the drop on you in an ambush (and he didn't) either one of you could mop the floor with him without much trouble, so her completely random sacrifice was a waste, especially as the real BigBad is still alive and waiting for you at the hangar. He's a mad scientist who turned himself into an EldritchAbomination kaiju, so if anyone needed a mech blowing up in their face it definitely would have been then. It's a pretty difficult fight, so you'll find yourself wishing she'd have saved herself for this instead.
* In the [[http://storynexus.com/s Storynexus]] game ''Final Girl'' this can be played straight, subverted or averted, [[MultipleEndings depending on your choices]].
* In the 2012 version of ''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'', [[MonsterClown Sweet]] [[SerialKiller Tooth]]'s wish is to track down his Final Girl, his daughter Sophia, so he can finally kill her. Only it turns out she had already [[DrivenToSuicide killed herself]] as a result of the trauma she went through. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor The result?]] Calypso [[BuriedAlive buries Sweet Tooth alive]] in Sophia's casket. TheStinger reveals that Calypso later revived Sophia as a MonsterClown just like her father, in order to serve as a contestant in next year's [[DeadlyGame tournament]].
* Can be played straight, subverted, or averted in ''VideoGame/UntilDawn'', a game in which [[EverybodyLives all the characters can survive]], [[EverybodyDiesEnding none of them do]], or everybody ''except'' the obvious final girl survives. However, there are two characters who are set up as this archetype.
** Sam is the final person who is able to be killed in the game, only killable in the final cutscene, a distinction she shares with [[LovableJock Mike]]. She is also put in heavy focus; she is voiced by Creator/HaydenPanettiere, who was arguably the biggest name in the cast (at least at the time; Creator/RamiMalek is now an A-lister), she tries to discourage her friends from going through with the DeadlyPrank that gets Beth and Hannah killed in the prologue, and she is presented as [[ActionGirl athletic]] and fairly morally upright in contrast to the AlphaBitch Emily and the [[MsFanservice sexy blonde]] Jessica.
** Ashley is also presented as an obvious final girl, being a fairly meek BrainyBrunette with mostly academic interests. [[SubvertedTrope However]], she takes part in the aforementioned DeadlyPrank, and depending on how you play, her BitchInSheepsClothing tendencies may come out over the course of the game. If Emily gets bitten by a {{wendigo}}, she'll think Emily's a ZombieInfectee based purely on (what turn out to be false) assumptions about how wendigos work, and if Mike decides not to shoot her, Emily will give her a [[WhatTheHellHero well-deserved]] slap for it. Meanwhile, if Chris puts her on the receiving end of the SadisticChoice he's forced into, she will refuse to forgive him and will leave him to die later on, even though Chris' other option was (as far as he knew) ''suicide''. Also, she can receive the most blatantly obvious SchmuckBait death in the game, opening up a cellar door that someone, or some''thing'', is banging on and getting decapitated by the wendigo lurking behind it imitating Jessica's voice.
** Speaking of Jessica, it is possible for her to be the SoleSurvivor of the game's events as well. Mike has to follow as quickly as possible to catch up to the Wendigo while it absconds with Jess. This enables her survival long enough to fall into the underground caverns. Later, near the end of the game, Jessica has to remain perfectly still to avoid being killed by the Wendigo. Of course, Jessica is largely unaware of what's going on because she was knocked out for much of the second act. And by end of the game, Jessica suffers a major case of BreakTheCutie, regardless if she's the only survivor or not.
* ''VideoGame/TheWhiteChamber'' seems to play with this... and it seems quite ironic. Sarah may be the last survivor, but ''she was the killer''.
