Subtrope of FightToSurvive. Can be used as a plot for a BottleEpisode, as it can be used to craft a tense episode without having to craft new sets.

* The world of Alrest in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'' exists entirely on Titans swimming on the Cloud Sea. As a Titan ages, the climate on the creature gets harsher (as seen with Mor Ardain), and once the titans all die out, there will be nowhere left to live. This fact is used as a pretense for dying nations to go to war with others for their titan and resources. The protagonists' goal is to find the mythical Elysium, [[ThePromisedLand which has more than enough livable space for humanity]]. [[spoiler:While the fabled Elysium turned out to be a dud, the events of the story result in the god of the world directing all of the titans to a continent on the Earth's surface, finally giving Alrest the space it needs.]]

* The latter half of ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheForceUnleashed'' begins when Starkiller, having been revived following his betrayal by Darth Vader, attacks one of Vader's secret research facilities to rescue his pilot June Eclipse. Said facility is actually a small Imperial cruiser orbiting a star in a deserted system, and during the course of his one-man attack the ship triggers a mechanism to plunge into the sun to ensure the technology and data aboard remain secret. Starkiller and Juno then have to fight their way out as the ship, having automatically launched all its escape pods due to Vader naturally being a BadBoss who wants to LeaveNoWitnesses, falls into the star.
