* The premise to the first game - Tapp, having survived being shot thanks to Jigsaw's intervention, wakes up to find himself trapped in an abandoned insane asylum that Jigsaw has converted into his own labyrinth, where he's set up his deadly traps at every corner.
** On top of that, Tapp quickly learns he's not the only one trapped in the asylum, with seemingly a dozen other people also stuck as they also must survive Jigsaw's traps. You'll come across many other victims having been brutally killed after failing to survive.

** The worst part is that many of the people who do survive (and nine out of ten times, come out very traumatized) by these traps ''[[StockholmSyndrome end up as his own most devoted disciples]]''. Just look at Amanda, Dr. Gordon and Logan.

No meta moment, see this query.


* Meta example: Those traps are terrifying by themselves. What's more terrifying is that someone in the real world had to make sure they are somewhat plausible.
** Most (if not all) of the traps are based on actual torture or death devices. Screenwriter Leigh Whannell described it as "only scratching the surface of how horrible human beings have been to one another for all eternity."

* One victim in the first game is Melissa Sing, the wife of Tapp's late partner Steven, whose life just went to Hell after Steven's death. She's let her grief over her husband's death and hatred of Tapp for supposedly getting him killed get so bad that [[ParentalNeglect she's been neglecting her son]], sending him to school clothed in dirty clothes and unfed. And even after Child Protective Services have been called, she's still not changing. [[AdultFear Really makes you feel scared for anyone in the son's shoes, even if you sympathize with Melissa's obvious depression]].

* In the second game, you meet a victim named Zeke, who's in something like the glass box trap from ''Saw II''. This destroys his hands. When you see him again, his hands are gone, and knives have been implanted on the ends of them. [[AssholeVictim This can be ameliorated by the fact]] [[PaedoHunt that Zeke is a child molester]], but there's something else to bear in mind. When you first meet him, Zeke is acting perfectly normal. When you see him next, [[AxCrazy he's jibbering, 'slicey-slicey-kill-kill' mad]]. The movies show [[DespairEventHorizon that regular minds are broken by this process]]. This is the first time one's been flat-out ''[[SanitySlippage shattered]]''.
