** While the endings of most of VisualNovel/WhenTheyCryHigurashi are downers and its original ending is relatively straightforwardly happy, there are a few arcs that opt for this type of ending instead. In the Silhouette Arc and the Demon-Exposing Arc it's based on, Natsumi is talked down from her murderous rampages and marries Akira, but she still killed her whole family and will be haunted for the rest of her life by that. In a secondary ending to the entire series, the Canal-Drying Arc, everyone makes it through June 1983, except for Hanyuu, who is killed by Takano. In the anime version of the Atonement Arc, Rena is talked down from killing all of her classmates, gets treatment, and makes it past June of 1983, but all of her friends died in the Gas Disaster the day after, and Rena remains haunted by her own actions and what happened after.

* The final cases of the first three ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' games kinda end like this. Phoenix exposes the real killer and wins the day, but either his client or another suspect he was desperate to exonerate still ends up imprisoned for lying under oath and interfering with a crime scene. The [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyTrialsAndTribulations third game]] is even worse, as [[SympatheticMurderer Godot will also have to stand trial for his crime (assuming he even lives that long), and Maya Fey witnessed her own mother's death, but has to put on a strong face for Pearl's benefit]]. [[DiedHappilyEverAfter At least his spirit has joined those of Mia and her mother on the clouds of heaven, as described by one painting at the very end of the game.]]

* Depending on which side of the fantasy fence you sit on for the possible endings of ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'', the final fate of all the cast members is either this, where the Metaworld is real and Battler is [[TogetherInDeath reunited in death there with Beatrice and his whole family]] or a downer, where the whole thing is just made up as a way for an amnesiac Battler to sort out his own thoughts about the Rokkenjima incident. Still, no matter which viewpoint you take, it doesn't change the fact that by the end of the series, almost everyone who was on Rokkenjima is dead.

Marty also covers up all evidence of Shadow's serial killing in order to prevent Sally from being implicated. However, Sally still has to live with the guilt of all the murders Shadow committed and Marty lost much of his sanity due to the time loops. Sally is also disturbed by Marty's newfound ruthlessness and his unexplainable knowledge of Shadow's actions.

* The "Agent" endings of ''VisualNovel/QueensGambit'' run in this direction: not as good as the "[[GoldenEnding Super Spy]]" endings but better than the "[[DownerEnding Rookie]]" and "[[KillEmAll Nightmare]]" endings. The villain's plots are mostly foiled but not without cost; Shield and her love interest go on about their lives and still have feelings for each other, but they can't necessarily be together and just try to maintain as much of a relationship as they can given the obstacles.

** Rain’s ending has Kou unknowingly killing Nanoha in stopping Assembler from activating. In the ''Ghost'' ending, Kou spends the rest of his life in self-delusion.
** Nanoha’s ending has Assembler being stopped but Chinatsu dying in an attempted kamikaze attack. In the "Dreamland" ending, Nanoha lost her body and the world war that has erupted has prevented Kou from finding a cloning facility to create a new body for Nanoha.
** Chinatsu’s ending has Masa dying and Ark Project occurring in order to save everyone. In the ''Entwined'' ending, Kou also lost most of his body.
** Aki’s ending has Gungnir stopped but Chinatsu is at least mentally destroyed from being connected to Tranquilizer. Dominion’s plan failed and Makoto also dies from the fight with Kou. In the ''Ark'' ending, Kou and Aki are living as wired ghosts.
** Even Sora’s ending has humanity being revived through nanomachines but only a number of people who became wired ghosts (along with Kou and Sora) from Neunzehn’s destruction of the world can be saved. Over tens of thousands years has also passed since then so the world has changed by a lot.
