{{Madness Mantra}}s… [[RunningGag Madness Mantra]]s… [[RuleOfThree Madness Mantra]]s… [[OverlyLongGag Madness Mantra]]s… [[BrokenRecord Madness Mantra]]s… [-in video games.-]

** ''VideoGame/FatalFrameIVMaskOfTheLunarEclipse'' has so many examples in the files:

** The Enshrouded King from Hikari's Chapter 5 [[spoiler: repeats "Quenches the flames. Call out to the night'' upon transforming, and keeps saying these when attacking.

* In ''VideoGame/Superhot'', [[spoiler:as the game takes control of the player, everything they try to type to warn their friend about their situation is instantly replaced with "SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT" and so on.]]

* In ''VideoGame/Superhot'', [[spoiler:as the game takes control of the player, everything they try to type to warn them is instantly replaced with "SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT SUPER HOT" and so on.]]

* One of Krieg's idle quotes in ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'':

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 4}}'' has a terminal entry by a raider named [[MeaningfulName Bedlam]] in the [[DugTooDeep Dunwich Borers mine]] saying "I am safe in the light. I am safe in the light. I am safe in the light. I am safe in the light..."

* In the horror/adventure/drama game ''[[VideoGame/FragileDreamsFarewellRuinsoftheMoon Fragile Dreams]]'', the player character Seto enters a trashed room filled with boxes and other [[ApocalypseHow post-apocalyptic junk]] towards the end of the game. For those using one of the regular flashlights, there is nothing remotely disconcerting about this room. However, if, like this troper, you were using the flashlight that allows you to see hidden messages written on the wall, you will suddenly enter a room where ''every'' surface has "I don't want to die! I don't want to die! I don't want to die!" scribbled over it in an increasingly desperate hand. If you scare easily, do yourself a favor and don't enter the room with that flashlight.

** In ''VideoGame/{{Halo 3}}'', [[spoiler:after Guilty Spark finally completely loses it, all he can do (aside from firing his [[EnergyWeapon Frickin' Laser Beams]]) is repeat "UNACCEPTABLE!!"]]

* In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 2}}: Eternal Punishment'', Joker uses the word "voices" in this manner -- some of his battle taunts are just shouting "voices", and during the point of his most intense breakdown, he just repeats "voices" over and over again for nearly a dialogue box's worth of speech. [[spoiler:This is because he's Tatsuya Sudou, a.k.a. King Leo from the previous ''Persona 2: Innocent Sin'', and the leader of the previous Joker's Masquerade Executives. He hears voices -- actually Nyarlathotep -- that tell him of the previous world and his role in it, causing him to take up the mantle of Joker and try to push events to repeat themselves... with the side effect of making the already deranged Sudou even crazier.]]
* A mental hospital patient [[spoiler:although they might have been a hallucination]] in ''VideoGame/{{Phantasmagoria 2}}'' had a habit of chanting "Disco dance! Disco dance! Disco dance!". The result was... [[{{Narm}} less than terrifying]].
