History GoddamnedBats / SurvivalHorror

* The original survival horror game, ''VideoGame/HauntedHouse'' for the UsefulNotes/{{Atari 2600}} is the TropeCodifier, with its own GoddamnedBats.

** The UsefulNotes/NintendoDS port of ''VideoGame/ResidentEvil1'' employed these to horrific effect in the game's Rebirth mode. The mode allows for multiple enemy types in the same room, which usually just means the game tosses a single crow or dog in with a roomful of zombies. Doesn't sound so bad? Well, y'know how a single match can burn down a whole forest? [[NintendoHard Yeah, it's kind of like that.]]

* In ''Videogame/AloneInTheDark2008'', Vampirez are bats that attack if the player gets too close and are almost impossible to hit. Since they look like bats and are minions of Lucifer, they could be [[{{Pun}} literally]] considered to be Goddamned Bats.

* Shibito Brains from ''VideoGame/{{Siren}}''. In some stages where they're present, you need to defeat them to win. In others, it just helps a lot, as if they're knocked out, so are all other shibito on the stage -- and these are generally composed primarily of [[DemonicSpiders the]] ''[[DemonicSpiders extremely]]'' [[DemonicSpiders nasty Crawlers]]. Where they enter Goddamned Bats territory is that they can detect your presence without actually seeing or hearing you, and their usual response to this is to suddenly run away. It's actually a comparatively good thing when you instead get the sort of Brains that respond to your presence by charging in and attacking you.

** The FanGame ''VideoGame/ResidentEvilREVisited'' features literal bats in an underground corridor, though functionally they seem to be reskinned crows from the PS1 era games.
