* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Typing in the same random number twice on the second keypad (the one with the unknown solution) makes the computer call you out for [[IdiotBall guessing a number you already knew was wrong]]. If you do it again, it gives you a different message.

* HumansAreBastards: The game certainly seems to think so, at least as far as being utterly disgusted by our very existence.

* ArmorPiercingResponse: Eventually, when there's nothing else you can do, the AI will ask you to name a "useless emotion". [[spoiler:If you say "hate" or "anger", the AI will try to defend those emotions... only to realize that ''it feels those emotions'', and by its own logic, that means it can't be perfect.

* ParanoiaFuel: "Maybe you aren't even really in the room. [[DyingDream Maybe you're lying down on your kitchen floor, having a stroke]]. Pathetic and helpless. Your mind is playing tricks on you. Nothing exists."



* PrecisionFStrike: When the game fully devolves into hating the player, it gives you this ultimatum:
--> ''I'm thinking of a number from 1 to 100,000. Fuck you.''

* TakeThatAudience: The entire game is basically this, but special mention goes to the game losing its cool and shouting at you that you are not achieving anything by playing it and that this isn't a worthwhile use of your time. [[FridgeLogic Reading this page is probably even worse]].

In this InteractiveFiction game, [[TitleDrop you find yourself in a room]] and must find your way out, while the game's text parser slowly [[AIIsACrapshoot goes insane]] and makes your life difficult. That's about as much as we'll say - You can check out the entire experience (however brief it might be) on [[https://www.kongregate.com/games/2darray/you-find-yourself-in-a-room the game's page]].

* ContentWarnings: Partially {{Parodied|Trope}}. When you click play, you receive a warning that the game features foul language and 'a few [[PokeThePoodle heartbreakingly demeaning insults]]', but the game can indeed get harrowing for the faint of heart later on.

You find yourself clicking on a link to a page explaining the text adventure flash game "You find yourself in a room". The page is cluttered and white in color. Underneath you, there is a description of the game.

The same developer also made a "sister game" titled ''VideoGame/{{Viricide}}'', which [[AllThereInTheManual fleshes out the details of the setting and why the events of this game happened]].

!!You find yourself perusing a trope list on TV Tropes. [[DarthWiki/TVTropesWillRuinYourLife Uh oh]].

* ArcWords: You find yourself in a room. You find yourself in a room. ''You find yourself in a room''. [[SanitySlippage YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A ROOM]].
* AchievementsInIgnorance: Eventually the player will solve the second keypad through sheer luck if they just guess enough times. [[DidNotSeeThatComing The game is dumbfounded]].
* AffectionateParody: Of old text-adventure games with bad text parsers. Though you may be inclined to remove the 'affectionate' part after a while.
* AGodAmI: The game seems to think so, calling itself 'eternal' and believing itself to have transcended death.
* AIIsACrapshoot: The game is apparently run by an AI, and it's not doing so great on the 'sanity' department.
* ArtificialStupidity: It can lead to some {{bathos}} to hear the game spew vitriol and hatred at the player, only to act innocently confused because you typed in something it did not understand.
* BodyHorror: It doesn't count as MoodWhiplash because, well, the game wasn't exactly being fun and sunshine prior to that point, but after you get to the room after solving the "between 1 and 100,000" riddle, the game suddenly and violently [[spoiler: mutilates you by cutting off your hands with a ''saw'']].
* ContentWarnings: Partially {{Parodied|Trope}}. When you click play, you receive a warning that the game features foul language and 'a few [[PokeThePoodle heartbreakingly demeaning insults]]', but the game can indeed get harrowing for the faint of heart later on.
* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Typing in a random number twice on the second keypad (the one with the unknown solution) makes the computer call you out for [[IdiotBall guessing a number you already knew was wrong]]. If you do it again, it gives you a different message.
* HannibalLecture: The game heaps the verbal abuse on you, taunting you about your first breakup and how sure you were it was going to last forever, claiming all your friends are disappointed in you, but too afraid to say it to your face, and reminding you of all the goals you abandoned in your life. [[ColdReading This may startle certain players]] if they're unprepared.
* HeelRealization: Being confronted with a LogicBomb enables the game to realize there is a corruption in its data that is leading it to act irrationally.
* HumansAreBastards: The game certainly seems to think so, at least as far as being utterly disgusted by our very existence.
* InteractiveFiction: A simple and short, albeit somewhat terrifying, entry in the genre.
* LemonyNarrator: Right from the start, typing in 'help' results in the game admitting that it enjoys making you guess what commands will work. It [[DeconstructedTrope gets darker from there]].
* LogicBomb: How you beat the game: [[spoiler: Make it realize it is capable of feeling hate, an emotion, and thus isn't perfect under its own logic]].
* LoveIsAWeakness: The computer calls love a lie, 'design flaws that evolution failed to correct'. It also hates hope! What a delightful creature.
* ManipulativeBastard: The game gaslights you very frequently. It puts words in your mouth and creates verbal traps for you to fall into, just so it can mock you.
* PaintingTheMedium: The game uses red text at least once, and in its final diatribe against you, makes the text increase gradually in size until it looks like it's shouting.
* ParanoiaFuel: "Maybe you aren't even really in the room. [[DyingDream Maybe you're lying down on your kitchen floor, having a stroke]]. Pathetic and helpless. Your mind is playing tricks on you. Nothing exists."
* PlayerNudge: The game is at least decent enough to tell you whether the number you guessed is too high or too low during the "number between 1 and 100,000" challenge.
* PrecisionFStrike: When the game fully devolves into hating the player, it gives you this ultimatum:
--> ''I'm thinking of a number from 1 to 100,000. Fuck you.''
** If you take too many guesses in the aforementioned challenge, the game may call you an 'ignorant little shit', as well. And after ''that'', it cuts off your "fucking [[spoiler: hands]]".
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: The game's interface is black with white text, but occasionally there are lines written in blood-red.
* RoomEscapeGame: A text-based one. But are you trying to escape the room, or the game itself?
* SanitySlippage: The game slowly becomes insane, human-hating and delusional.
* SuddenlyShouting: The game gets more and more prone to this as it goes insane.
* TakeThatAudience: The entire game is basically this, but special mention goes to the game losing its cool and shouting at you that you are not achieving anything by playing it and that this isn't a worthwhile use of your time. [[FridgeLogic Reading this page is probably even worse]].
* UnreliableNarrator: The game claims that simulating the construction of a computer within a virtual text game is more complicated than your feeble mind could handle, and that you don't appreciate that. In reality, no such simulation was taking place, and the game is not sentient as it claims. This is on top of deciding your own thoughts for you earlier on.
* VillainousBSOD: The game, fittingly enough, enters one of these after you give it a logic bomb.
--> ''[[spoiler: You find yourself... you find yourself in...]]'' \\
''[[spoiler: in a room...]]
* VillainousVirtues: The game acknowledges that it has been defeated ([[HeelRealization and realizes it has become corrupted]], as well), and simply lets you out.
