* ''VideoGame/TheThaumaturge'': A serial killer dubbed the Fisherman is terrorizing the WretchedHive neighborhood of Powiśle, leaving the naked, eyeless bodies of men on the banks of the Vistula. The killer is revealed to be [[spoiler:Klara, a prostitute at Aunt Jadzia's brothel, who (according to her MotiveRant, at least) falls under the Power/Control category, channelling her hatred of her abusive brother along with her having to resort to prostitution to make a living to kill most of her clients.]]

* The ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' series features several of these, starting with Neb, the child-killing gnome who returns in the sequel, and the "tanner" in ''Baldur's Gate 2'', who removes the skin of his victims and makes clothes out of it.

''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII'' has Dolor, a mission-based one who kills on behalf of the ReligionOfEvil worshipping the [[GodOfEvil god of murder]], [[HijackedByGanon Bhaal]]. [[spoiler:AmnesiacHero Dark Urge was also one as a direct result of being [[TheAntichrist the son of Bhaal himself]], and was partially the hedonistic type as his demonic blood made him pathologically compelled to brutally murder people, with a nauseating HorrorHunger should he go too long without satisfying his urges]].

* The plot of ''VideoGame/Persona4'' involves chasing down one who kills by shoving people into the TV world, where the Shadows inside get them. This leads to their bodies being found hanging from electrical wires without a clear cause of death in the real world. Technically, the culprit isn't a serial killer as only two victims (Mayumi Yamano and Saki Konishi) actually die, but it certainly isn't for lack of trying as Yukiko, Kanji, Rise, Mitsuo, [[spoiler:and Nanako]] would all have died if the Investigation Team hadn't intervened (and that last one ''does'' die in the bad ending).[[spoiler: The culprit is Tohru Adachi (albeit that he manipulated Taro Nametame into doing his dirty work for all but Mayumi, Saki, and Mitsuo), who was TouchedByVorlons much like the protagonist and gained the ability to enter the TV world... and more importantly, to put other people inside it. He discovered his power by accident during a tussle with Mayumi, but then killed Saki on purpose. After that, he encouraged Nametame's misconception that the TV world was a safe haven to get Nametame to do his dirty work. When finally uncovered and confronted, Adachi claims he did it purely for his own amusement.]]

* The plot of ''VideoGame/Persona4'' involves chasing down one who kills by shoving people into the TV world, where the Shadows inside get them. This leads to their bodies being found hanging from electrical wires without a clear cause of death in the real world. Naturally, the killer's identity is a major spoiler. [[spoiler:Tohru Adachi was one of the three people who were granted the power to enter the TV world (the others being Taro Namatame and your character) and discovered that he could kill people by throwing them into the TV world. He had a major lust for both Mayumi Yamano and Saki Konishi and tried to rape them both before throwing them into the TV. Technically he's not a serial killer because he only has two victims himself, but after the second, he was able to convince Taro Namatame that throwing people into the TV world would save them from the killer, and so Namatame's subsequent kidnapping of multiple other people, which can potentially result in Nanako's death (and would've killed all your party members if you hadn't rescued them in time), is ultimately his fault. Adachi claims he did it because he found it amusing]].
