Being trapped in a [[GroundhogDayLoop time loop]] is hard. What's even harder is when you've tried everything you can think of, [[DespairEventHorizon and nothing works.]] What do you do now?

* ''VideoGame/IWasATeenageExocolonist'': Starting in the third run, Sol realizes that their prophetic visions are actually PastLifeMemories. Accruing them over multiple runs weighs heavily on them mentally and emotionally, and they mostly keep them a secret because [[CassandraTruth no one would believe them.]] They can confess their predicament to Rex, saying that they feel stuck in a time loop, but while he thinks they meant it metaphorically, he understands their pain and hugs them. [[spoiler:Dys, on the other hand, is the only colonist who fully believes them when they tell him the truth while exploring the Convergent Domain, which provides answers to the origin of their visions.]]

* ''VideoGame/Shipwrecked64'': If you [[DevelopersForesight go out of bounds]] to talk to [[spoiler:Chief Wulf, standing on top of a building in the elevator room]], he'll confide in Bucky that he has a RippleEffectProofMemory about the game's MultipleEndings. One of the things that bothers him about this is having to watch the person he cares most about, [[spoiler:Stumbler O'Hare]], die over and over again, as ''every'' ending except for the GoldenEnding is an EverybodyDiesEnding; [[spoiler:everyone is wiped out by the volcano in the Bad Ending, the same happens in the Good Ending except Bucky and his friends manage to escape, and the island's residents are hunted down and murdered by [[TheBadGuyWins the victorious Dwellers]] in the True Ending]]. Even though the victims of these endings include ''himself,'' that doesn't bother him as much as seeing his friend suffer; in fact, his own death seems to be a mercy for him in these situations, as he believes that without him, he'll be completely alone and forgotten.
-->''"Yes, he will die. Whether the volcano, those monsters, whatever. I've seen it go down so many times and it hurts."''

Cat Smile has been renamed to Playful Cat Smile. Moving examples that have enough context for the new trope.


** ''VideoGame/InStarsAndTime'', its finalized version, draws this out over a longer period, with Siffrin gradually losing his CatSmile and suffering SanitySlippage as the loops go on... and on... and on...

* In Fanfic/WishfulThinking, after trying to accomplish her goals only for the time loop to reset, [[Manga/ChainsawMan Makima]] breaks down from frustration, going from executing increasingly nonsensical schemes, to screwing up at critical moments due to stress, to using her powers for self-indulgent cruelty, to becoming suicidal.
