* ''Fanfic/AgainBreathOfTheWild'': Trapped in a GroundhogDayLoop where he is brought back to the Shrine of Resurrection 3 days after he beats Calamity Ganon, Link gets the idea that if he saves Zelda fast enough, the Goddess's powers would have less time to fade and he could escape. What follows is several loops of Link trying to eek every big of efficiency out of his adventure and cut down as much superfluous time as possible, effectively trying to pull a {{Speedrun}}. As he does so, however, he stops doing side quests, helping others, interacting with people, even skips purifying the Divine Beasts or getting the Master Sword, single-mindedly focused on saving Zelda. After he is broken and mentally exhausted enough to tell Zelda what has happened to him, she points out that he has spent several subjective years isolated from everyone else and was slowly [[SanitySlippage losing his mind]], and makes him promise that in all future loops, he will [[TakeYourTime take his time]] and keep his own mental well-being in mind.

* ''VideoGame/StarShiftRebellion'': The Terran Republic officer, Hank Manson, was stranded on Xolarus III for over a decade. While he's sane enough to help the party, he also constructed a cat figure out of junk and believes this junk is a real cat.

Added DiffLines:

* ''VideoGame/{{Fractured}}'': Downplayed in ''Fractured 4'''s narration. While it doesn't state insanity outright, it describes feelings of dissociation, confusion, hopelessness, and eventual resignation from not being able to find anyone else, and ends with a DesperatePleaForHome. Unlike ''Fractured 3'', where the boy and girl actually unite, the duo in this game futilely pursue each other's ghosts, leaving them separated by the end with no one else in sight.

* Happens briefly to Hachimaki in episode 16 of ''{{Anime/Planetes}}''. After he's inadvertently isolated for a brief time in space, he develops Acute Spatial Disorder and has problems doing his job in space. He's treated by being put inside a sensory deprivation room. Once it goes dark inside, his mind starts to play tricks on him, and he's forced to overcome the problem.

After he's inadvertently isolated ''{{Anime/Planetes}}'', where, while doing a spacewalk, he floats away for a brief an extended period of time in space, and is almost lost forever. As a result, he develops Acute Spatial Disorder and has problems doing his job in space. He's treated by being put inside a sensory deprivation room. Once it goes dark inside, his mind starts to play tricks on him, and he's forced to overcome the problem.



* There's a comic in the ''Franchise/StarWarsExpandedUniverse'', ''Mostly Automatic'', which has a young man with a sweetheart taking a load of cargo on a trip that should have taken two weeks, during which he happily planned to lounge around playing games and watching vids. But a rock hit his ship, taking out the hyperdrive and the comm. Sublight engines still functioned, but it was ten parsecs to any kind of civilization and would take ''sixty years'', alone on a little ship. He put the ship on automatic and then "quietly, and very deliberately... went... out... of... my... mind..." For the first few years, he mostly slept until he ran out of sleep-inducing medication, then he went mad until he found an inactive service droid in a box in the hold and activated her, which helped.
