* ''VideoGame/{{Dishonored}}'' is set in Dunwall City, on Gristol Island, capital of the Isles Empire. Next to it there's the unexplored Pandyssian Continent. That's about all we know of the setting... apart from one passage from a book by a MadScientist, describing how the planet and its Sun are hurtling through a dark, howling Cosmos towards a Void that will eventually consume everything. [[CrapsackWorld It's that kind of setting]]...

* ''Franchise/FireEmblem'' has the continents of [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Archanea, Valentia]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemJugdral Jugdral]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Elibe]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Magvel]], and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTellius Tellius]], with the first three sharing the same world.

* ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' is set in a tower that has at least 135 floors, with each floor being several kilometres high and having a surface the size of North America. They don't breathe air but Shinsoo which gets more viscous the higher you get, which is why swords are replaced by simple rapiers called Needles. An outside world exists and people are faintly aware of it, but it's the kind of world where people build gods and children get trapped in caves for eons.

* {{Archipelago}} [[spoiler: though it might just be in the future.]]

* The Twin Worlds of ''TheLongestJourney'' are somewhat of a gray area. On one hand, its starts off as your regular run-of-the-mill CyberPunk dystopia. On the other hand, we soon learn, that what we perceived as "Earth" is actually a world called "Stark" and it has a twin world named Arcadia that does not follow the laws of science but instead is governed by chaotic magic. What's more, these two worlds are, in fact, Earth... or, at least, they were Earth twelve thousand years ago. Therefore, there is a connection called "Balance" between them which has its own eerie rules...
* Strangereal, the original ''AceCombat'' setting, is a completely independent world, despite being heavily based on modern-day Earth.

* The noir fantasy world of the ''{{Thief}}'' series (though it does have characters with Earth-like names, it's very clearly set in a setting completely removed from everyday reality).

* ''Anime/DigimonXEvolution.'' This is the only version of ''{{Digimon}}'' that is ''all'' {{Mons}} and no humans enter the picture.
* The world of {{HunterXHunter}} mixes a fantasy setting with modern day technology, SciFi elements, and a wide variety of MixAndMatchCritters. Not to mention they write in a ''different language''.
* The Continent in ''QueensBlade'' and in their AlternateUniverse, ''QueensBlade Grimoire'' has Melfareland.

* In all versions of ''ThunderCats,'' though it has an AlienSky and the name "Third Earth," the planet the eponymous Thundercats inhabit is a lunatic HeroicFantasy [[FantasyKitchenSink Kitchen Sink]], with PettingZooPeople, magic swords, {{Sorcerous Overlord}}s, fruit [[FantasticDrug made of candy]] and SchizoTech. What happened to first and second Earth and if any of 'em were ours is never made clear in the original before they stopped discussing it altogether, and never comes up in any form in the newer series.

* ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' is set in a very well-constructed world called Aurbis[[hottip:*:Or Nirn, or Mundus, or the dream of the Godhead, depending on how deep/meta you want to go]], though the games are set primarily on a single continent called Tamriel.

* ''Anime/DigimonXEvolution''

* In ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Thundercats 2011}} [=ThunderCats (2011)=]]]'' though it has an AlienSky and the name "Third Earth," the planet the eponymous Thundercats inhabit is a lunatic HeroicFantasy [[FantasyKitchenSink Kitchen Sink]], with PettingZooPeople, magic swords, {{Sorcerous Overlord}}s, fruit [[FantasticDrug made of candy]] and SchizoTech.

* ''ShiningForce'' has its own fictional map.
* ''RuneScape'' is set on the MedievalEuropeanFantasy planet of Gielinor. Although it's supposed to be a planet in our universe (most of the life on it was imported from Earth by Guthix), it might as well be a separate world.
* ''{{Arcanum}}'': The eponymous Arcanum.

* ''RuneScape'' is set on the MedievalEuropeanFantasy plane of Gielinor.

Compare ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway, which is used more in [[SciFiCounterpart science fiction]] but usually has the same effect. Contrast MagicalLand, where the focus is on visitors to the setting. EarthAllAlong is a subversion of this trope.

This world might be built from standard components, but there is deliberate WorldBuilding going on.

* EpilepticTrees about it being Earth AfterTheEnd notwithstanding, Equestria from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' is a world all its own and differs from our reality in several significant ways (such as the fact that all forces of nature are controlled by magic ponies).

* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeOrigins'': Thedas. Incidentally, even the name of the world is constructed: it was a shortcut for "'''The D'''ragon '''A'''ge '''s'''etting" used by the developers until they decided to ThrowItIn.
