17	* ''VisualNovel/AceAttorneyInvestigations'':
18	** After [[spoiler: being knocked out by the Proto Badger]], Miles Edgeworth wakes up locked in a small room and tied to a pole. While he's freed five minutes later by Kay, this scene spawned a lot of happy fangirls. This was after he was handcuffed when he's suspected of murder earlier that day. Poor guy.
19	** In the sequel, when [[spoiler:Yumihiko Ichiyanagi/Sebastian Debeste]] is kidnapped, he's bound hand and foot, gagged, and locked in a dark room at the back of a garage -- and this ''after'' being crammed into a box and thrown into the trunk of a car. It ''looks'' a little goofy (embarrassing if nothing else), but is treated as genuinely traumatic.
20	* Princess Alexia from ''VideoGame/Alundra2'' is like this for almost a 1/3 of the game after she gets captured by the BigBad who plans to marry her against her will.
21	* ''VideoGame/AtlantisTheLostTales'': Anna, when she is about to be sacrificed.
22	* In ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamCity'', you find Harley Quinn tied to a pole and gagged close to the end of the game. You can ungag/gag her as many times as you want. You have to ungag her once to unlock a side-mission. After that, it's just for your own amusement and to hear her yell at you to stop doing that.
23	* ''VideoGame/BanzaiPecan'' has a level full of this.
24	* Happens to Henry at one point in ''VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine''.
25	* ''VideoGame/BlazBlue'': Though not with the gag, Relius Clover during his Astral invoked this when used against some characters. This being [[MadScientist him]], it invoked a far worse image. The only person he ever gags was Valkenhayn and it was justified because restraining a werewolf without a gag is disastrous.
26	* Lance, more "gagged" than "bound", at Vivi's salon in ''VideoGame/BrainDead13''. And he will remain that way until you choose the facial.
27	* This happened 2 times in ''VideoGame/CriminalCaseWorldEdition''. One off screen with Elliot being only gagged with a cloth by [[spoiler:Anbu]] and another in the Season 3 finale with [[spoiler: President James Hewitt by Vice President Sarah Bennett.]]
28	* In ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'', the fifth victim, [[spoiler:Nagito Komaeda,]] is found tied up and gagged with a piece of tape. The most bizarre part of it? [[spoiler: ''He did it to himself.'']]
29	* In ''VideoGame/DayZ'' it is possible for a player to capture other players by restraining them and gagging them. They can even put a burlap sack over their heads!
30	* ''VideoGame/DesperadosIII'': One of the core game mechanics for those aiming for non-lethal runs: the heroes can knock out their enemies, but they will wake up after a while. However, the characters (save for Kate) have the ability to tie up unconscious [=NPCs=] to prevent them from moving after they were knocked out (while presumably gagging them as well, even though the game doesn't say it, given the sound clips that play during the animation). There's actually even a gameplay reward for doing so: tied-up enemies can be used to lure other mooks, as they will come to free the prisoner if they see them, which can be used to set up an ambush. It even works on Longcoats and Ponchos, EliteMooks who are otherwise immune to most of the other tactics used to lure enemies away from their posts.
31	* The fan UsefulNotes/RPGMaker game ''VideoGame/DIDNapper'' and its [[VideoGame/Didnapper2 sequel]] revolves around tying and gagging girls in an anime-style medieval setting.
32	** Unsurprisingly, [[MinionWithAnFinEvil Suki]] and [[CovertPervert Carol]]'s cameo in ''VideoGame/RakenzarnTales'' also involves this happening to them.
33	* The Visual Novel-style game ''VideoGame/{{Bonds}}'' is about two college students named [[BrainsAndBondage Alicia]] and Robin who discover a passion for bondage and make a business out of it.
34	* The now-discontinued iOS[=/=]Platform/{{Android}} version of ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon'' begins with the Lee brothers receiving a ransom note with [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/image_547.png a photograph of their girlfriend Marian, gagged and handcuffed in a creepy basement]].
35	* During the introduction to ''Videogame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' the player, along with Ulfric Stormcloak and his rebels, are all tied up in the back of a cart and being transported to the town of Helgen for execution as traitors. Only Ulfric is actually gagged, though, because of his knowledge of the [[WordsCanBreakMyBones Thu'um.]]
36	* Happens to Jason and Grant in the beginning of ''VideoGame/FarCry3''.
37	** And again in ''VideoGame/FarCry5'' with Hudson and [[PlayerCharacter the Deputy]] in John's compound.
38	* ''VideoGame/GalaxyAngelII'': In Chapter 3 of Zettai Ryouiki no Tobira, during Anise's raid on the Luxiole, Kazuya can find Steline tied and gagged with an adhesive tape on her mouth if he visits the engine room.
39	* ''VideoGame/GrabbedByTheGhoulies'' has so many tied up people scattered around the mansion in so many ways that it probably feeds a fetish. Tied in almost any method you can think of. [[http://img.jeuxvideo.fr/00155169-photo-grabbed-by-the-ghoulies.jpg Example 1]] [[http://xboxmedia.ign.com/xbox/image/ghoulies_052303_09_640w.jpg Example 2]]
40	* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker'': When Tetra's pirates raid the bomb shop, they gag and tie up the shopkeeper so thoroughly that the entire length of his body is wrapped in rope.
41	* ''VideoGame/MathBlasterInSearchOfSpot'': In the final level, Spot is seen bound up with what appears to be chains and is gagged with a grey piece of cloth.
42	* Has happened to VideoGame/MaxPayne at least once in his career.
43	-->'''Max Payne:''' He had a baseball bat and I was tied to a chair. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do.
44	* Lan's teacher: Ms. Mari is bound and gagged by Higsby during the second act of ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork1''.
45	* Happens at least once per game in the ''VideoGame/MonkeyIsland'' series...except for the first game. This is ironic because the first game actually centered around a kidnapping and subsequent rescue attempt.
46	* Unusual for the ''VideoGame/{{Myst}}'' series, with its distinct lack of violence, in ''VideoGame/MystIV'', a preteen girl, Yeesha, is kidnapped and later seen, first in flashbacks and later in person, tied and strapped to a chair, with rope reinforcing the straps. In a flashback, she struggles mightily and appears to be crying. She's also played by a live action actress, due to the game's use of FMV crossed with pre-rendered backgrounds.
47	* In ''VideoGame/MysticWarriors'', one of the five playable characters is captured and bound and gagged at the beginning of the game by the EvilCorporation.
48	* At the start of ''VideoGame/NoituLove 2: Devolution's'' fourth level, there is a damsel who is tied up, without a gag, and two of the Grinning Darn cowboys are keeping watch on her. Xoda jumps in, using a detached waterwheel (crushing the Darn cooking using a campfire), and takes out the other Darn but doesn't bother with untying the damsel as Xoda leaves with a hi-jacked jet board.
49	* ''Portal''
50	** A rather unique example happens in the game ''VideoGame/{{Portal}}'', where [=GLaDOS=] might have been modeled after a bound and gagged woman hanging upside down (as demonstrated [[http://www.game-ism.com/2008/04/04/still-alive-shes-free/ in this fan art]]), making her even creepier.
51	** ''VideoGame/Portal2'' revealed that this is very likely true: [[spoiler: [=GLaDOS=] was formerly the secretary of the man who founded Aperture Science, whose dying wish was to have her [[BrainUploading brain uploaded]] into the computer mainframe so she could continue running the company in his stead. Some infamous DummiedOut dialogue suggests that this was done against her will.]]
52	* [[ThoseTwoGuys Cronk and Zephyr]] are tied together near the beginning of ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankIntoTheNexus'' when taken captive. [[spoiler: They don't survive when the ship they are on is blown up]].
53	* In ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption'', you can lasso and hogtie bounty targets so you can bring them in alive. Or you can do it to anyone, just for fun. You get an achievement (appropriately named "{{Dastardly\|Whiplash}}") for killing a tied-up woman by [[ChainedToARailway leaving her on the train tracks, old-fashioned villain style]], as seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8_Fm3XaTdI here]].
54	* ''VisualNovel/RomansChristmas'': The culprit of chapter 2, [[spoiler:Vincel, gets tied up and thrown into the basement by Tsarzn for his attempted murder of Anzox. He is later gagged with Tsarzn's unwashed socks for a while, but loses those later on. It also turns out that the ropes weren't keeping him tied - they were broken, allowing him to sneak off and attempt another murder.]]
55	* In ''VideoGame/RuleOfRose'', this happens to Jennifer in an early part of the game as well as in the opening {{cutscene}}. The scene repeats itself much later in the game, except that this time Jennifer is also gagged with a fistful of red crayons.
56	-->'''Imps:''' A bright red crayon just for you! Lots and lots and lots for you!
57	* Occurs near the end of ''Runaway: A Twist of Fate''. Gina (one of the playable characters) ends up bound and gagged by the BigBad; pretty standard, nothing really remarkable. However, something unusual happens when she escapes. Rather than taking off the gag completely, she takes it out of her mouth and wears it as a stylish neckerchief for the rest of the game. Fits in pretty nicely with the game's sense of humor.
58	* ''VideoGame/SlyCooper'':
59	** Carmelita Fox is sometimes shown to tied up throughout the games. She is only seen gagged in the animated short ''Timing is Everything''.
60	** At one point in ''VideoGame/Sly3HonorAmongThieves'', Murray is captured by General Tsao's mooks and tied to a bomb. He is saved by Penelope's RC.
61	* A curious example in ''VideoGame/{{Stray\|2022}}'' happens when the cat finds [[spoiler:their ally Clementine]] tied up to a chair and gagged, [[spoiler:courtesy of TheMole]]. The "curious" part is that the victim is a sapient TVHeadRobot--the lack of a physical mouth or tongue to force shut logically should not prevent them from speaking normally, yet they're still struggling to enunciate their plea for help at that moment.
62	* Princess Monica Grania Bilseia in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsGaiden'' is captured by Saphine Grace, who ties her up and gags her with a ball gag.
63	* Both Lara and Sam have their moments of being tied up during the course of the ''VideoGame/{{Tomb Raider\|2013}}'' reboot.
64	* [[TheHero Nathan Drake]], when captured by Rameses and his crew, finds himself tied to a chair at the beginning of chapter 12 in ''VideoGame/Uncharted3DrakesDeception''. Using his fighting skills, he escapes. Sully gets tied up, as well, [[spoiler: though it was actually a dummy dressed like Sully being used to lure Nate into a trap]].
65	** Elena was tied up in the first game when she was kidnapped as well.
66	* Early in ''VideoGame/WanderingHamster'', Bob gets tied up [[spoiler:by Skeppio and Rathmara]] to summon Jormungandling and kill him. They [[HopelessBossFight fail]] and Bob ends up [[WombLevel in his belly]].
67	* iPod Touch game ''VideoGame/WildWildTrain'' features cutscenes telling a story of a damsel in distress. The cutscenes are done using actual photographs of actual actors playing the damsel, villain and hero, all of whom are silent film stereotypes. And the damsel is tied up and gagged and blindfolded, quite well. It's enough to make you wonder...
68	* In ''VisualNovel/YoJinBo'', Mon-Mon asks you to tie Yo's hands so he doesn't thrash around [[spoiler: while he's sewing the gunshot wound closed]]. The result is very much DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything.
69	* Happens to several characters in ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'', most notably this is how you find Koltira Deathweaver in the Death Knight starting area. You find him like this again, in the Undercity after he was dragged off by Sylvanas for torture. Both times he's also been stripped to his boxers, for clandestine {{Fanservice}} presumably.
