* ''Series/BlackMirror'': In "[[Recap/BlackMirrorPlaytest Playtest]]", Cooper tests a BrainUploading VR game meant to pit him against his fears. As the game goes on, the scares get more personalized and cerebral, as it's meant to learn from its players. Cooper eventually makes it out of the game, flies home, and checks in on his mother, only for him to find out she has dementia. [[spoiler:It's his worst fear; the episode ends on the reveal that Cooper not only was still hooked up to the game when he believed he "left", but the electromagnetic interference from his phone caused it to fry his brain.]]

* ''Manga/GoodNightWorld'':
** Some AIs are made to look like ordinary players to the audience [[TomatoInTheMirror and themselves]] via this trope, with any instance of them seemingly being in the real world actually being an extension of ''PLANET'' that exists only for them.
** The Black Bird can cause the purely mental variant of this trope to happen to actual players, in a way that can be best summed up as them hallucinating that they are logging off from ''PLANET'', only to be promptly put through various psychological trials in a mental version of the real world that puts the entire SlasherMovie genre to shame. It eventually turns out that this space is also the "real world" in which AIs who believe they are human go when they "log off" from ''PLANET''. From a real-life perspective, most people die almost as soon as the mental trial begins.
