* The {{Manhunt}} games give this vibe, to different degrees. The first involves [[TheOldCon death-row inmate James Earl Cash]] being forced to \\\"star\\\" in a SnuffFilm, directed by disgraced Hollywood director Lionel Starkweather. You stalk victims from the shadows, but most are [[AssholeVictim violent criminals and deranged lunatics]], from [[ThoseWackyNazis neo-Nazi skinheads]] to [[HollywoodSatanism Satanist]] [[TheCartel Latino gangsters]]. Cash [[EvenEvilHasStandards is also more moral than most slasher stars]], [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes mostly because he saves his family]] [[IHaveYourWife when they\\\'re taken hostage by]] [[RightWingMilitiaFanatic Ramirez and the Wardogs]] ([[spoiler: and declares ItsPersonal when [[YankTheDogsChain Starkweather recaptures them]], [[ShootTheShaggyDog and has them brutally murdered by The Innocentz]]]]), and protects a reporter that has information to bring down Starkweather [[spoiler: [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge even though he simply planned to storm Starkweather\\\'s mansion]] OneManArmy-style, and she witnessed him slaughter dozens of police officers ([[CorruptCop albeit ones on Starkweather\\\'s payroll]]).]]
** The second game, meanwhile, evokes this genre all over the place: as Daniel Lamb, an AmnesiacHero that recently escaped from [[BedlamHouse the local asylum]] with his slightly AxCrazy [[BashBrothers best friend]] [[spoiler: [[ImaginaryEnemy or rather]], his \\\'\\\'\\\'[[AxCrazy REALLY AX CRAZY]]\\\'\\\'\\\' [[JekyllAndHyde split personality]]]] Leo Kasper, [[QuestForIdentity you have to find the pieces to your past]] - and have to go toe-to-toe with the many HiredGuns and [[PsychoForHire Psychos For Hire]] on the payroll of \\\"The [[spoiler: [[MadScientist Pickman]]]] [[GovernmentConspiracy Project]]\\\", who want to hunt you down ([[spoiler: preferably alive]]), so they can protect the secrets of \\\"The Project\\\", [[spoiler: and allow the borderline-KnowNothingKnowItAll MadScientist Dr. Pickman to keep [[PlayingWithSyringes poking around with the machine in your head that houses your split personality]], [[PsychoPrototype to create a series of assassins that can brutally murder targets in the \\\"killer\\\" personality, and be switched to the \\\"normal\\\" personality]] [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique to prevent them from revealing anything in their subsequent interrogation]].]] Outside of featuring [[BloodierAndGorier execution techniques that throw away \\\"clean\\\" killing in favor of]] [[ColdBloodedTorture inflicting as much torturous pain on the helpless victim as possible]], and more villains inspired by TorturePorn films (the \\\"[[SexIsEvil Sexual Deviants]]\\\" level is basically a [[BondageIsBad BDSM-club flavored]] {{Hostel}}, complete with a gang called \\\"[[TheHedonist the Pervs]]\\\", who are [[CombatSadomasochist Combat Sadomasochists]] dressed up in [[UnsexySadist gimps suits]] and [[FurryFandom animal costumes]]), but features more [[MindScrew mentally jarring imagery and storytelling than the original]], which accurately captures [[TheWoobie poor Danny\\\'s]] SanitySlippage as he\\\'s driven to more desperate and grisly violence [[spoiler: [[EnemyWithin by Leo]], so he can [[ThatManIsDead \\\"kill\\\" Danny\\\'s personality]], and perform a SplitPersonalityTakeover, so [[TheUnfettered he can be \\\"free\\\"]] to become the most infamous SerialKiller in history]],]] culminating with a [[spoiler: [[MushroomSamba appropriately trippy]] BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind]]. There are two endings, based on [[VideoGameCrueltyPotential based on whether or not you went out of your way to perform \\\"Violent\\\" and \\\"Gruesome\\\" executions]] - in the default ending [[spoiler: [[BittersweetEnding Danny \\\"kills\\\" Leo]], [[LaserGuidedAmnesia but once again loses his memory, possibly for good this time]]. He is given a new identity (presumably by Dr. Whyte, the GoodCounterpart to Dr. Pickman), and [[RidingIntoTheSunset walks down a sunlit road]] [[EarnYourHappyEnding to his new life as]] \\\"[[DevelopmentGag David Joiner]]\\\".]] The AlternateEnding [[spoiler: [[TheBadGuyWins has Leo \\\"kill\\\" Danny]], [[KillEmAll who presumably gets ready to massacre what\\\'s left of]] [[GovernmentConspiracy \\\"The Project\\\"]], ([[HeelFaceDoorSlam including Dr. Whyte, who just wanted to help Danny]]), [[DownerEnding before going on a]] SerialKiller [[OmnicidalManiac rampage]].]]
Okay, this is basically the epitome of how not to write an example. It\\\'s badly indented, so detailed that it becomes a WallOfText, has spoiler tags all over the place and contains so many wikilinks as to be unreadable. This needs to be cleaned up by someone familiar with the work before it can go back on the page.
