That is what namespaces are for. The trope goes in Main.Deep Sleep, and the work goes in VideoGame.Deep Sleep.
Edit: Oh, wait, yes, subpages might have a conflict. Is there a Standard Procedure to avoid that? If not, changing the game article name might be a good idea.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.There is no standard procedure for resolving such conflicts other than by putting one article under a different name, e.g by appending the year of releast to the name of the work.
Once upon a time tropes in such situations frequently were renamed, but the corresponding rename reason has pretty much fallen into disuse.

Probably not be needed in this case, but it's still a good idea now when the subpages would conflict anyway.

Okay, so next question is: How do I go about renaming a page?
How to Move a Page, with VideoGame.Deep Sleep Trilogy being the target article.

I went and created a minimalist article for the survival horror flash game Deep Sleep. As it stands, there is a trope called "Deep Sleep". Now, the wiki simply shows a Video Game entry on top of the trope page.
I expect confusion to arise if subpages (such as Nightmare Fuel) were added to the work, since they will also show in the trope page. This problem could be nipped in the bud by moving the work page to, say "Deep Sleep Trilogy". The question is should it?
