** And then there's of course the big Player Punch regarding Seiko herself. It starts turns out bad, goes to worse that Seiko's death was not a suicide, as initially believed, but a case of [[TomatoInTheMirror Naomi]] becoming possessed by [[TheCorruption the Darkening]] and putting a noose around Seiko's neck. Not only does Naomi realize that ''she'' is at fault for her best friend's death, if the player doesn't manage to [[GuideDangIt do the right thing]] and get the perfect best ending, it will result in Naomi dying, as well.will attempt to commit suicide by hanging herself.
** The first chapter of ''Book of Shadows'' revolving around Naomi and Seiko, with the former realizing that [[GroundhogDayLoop they've been in this situation before]] and that her fight with Seiko resulted in her friend's death. Trying to avoid the fight doesn't work, and so Naomi has to end up finding Seiko before she dies. The true ending of the chapter is a cruel HopeSpot because Naomi succeeds in rescuing Seiko from her death, only for Seiko to freak out when seeing Naomi and running away, before falling down a flight of stairs and [[OffWithHisHead losing her head]].
*** Immediately after seeing Seiko die again, [[BigBad Sachiko]] appears and mocks Naomi -- and the player -- for thinking they could avoid the terrors of Heavenly Host. Sachiko reveals that any person that died in the school is ''fated to repeat their deaths'', no matter how many times you might try to change things. And those deaths tend to be worse than the original one.

*** Mia's death near the beginning of the game is a bit different from this trope's norm in the sense that you don't really get a sense of how awesome she was until after she dies- though it still hits hard as she's the player's co-counsel in the tutorial and you first encounter her little sister crying over her dead body.

* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'':
** In the ''Heaven's Feel'' route, you're forced to select the choice that kills Saber in order to obtain the True End. This is because choosing to let Saber live has fatal consequences for Rin, who, as a result of Saber's timely intervention, gets absorbed by Sakura. She then proceeds to inflict a [[RapeAsBackstory re-enactment of her experiences in the Matou household]] on Rin, and the utter horror of the scene is compounded when Sakura lets Shirou know in an arrestingly deadpan manner that Rin was a virgin, and that she's "already crying on her first day."
** If that wasn't already bad enough, the True End route also has Ilya sacrifice herself; this is non-negotiable on your first play, and the worst part of it all? That innocent little jingle of hers plays as she does so, increasing the tear-inducing factor of the scene by over nine thousand. Worse than this, when you ''do'' get the choice, choosing to prevent Ilya from sacrificing herself leads to the [[DownerEnding Normal end]], which apart from being exceptionally depressing doesn't mention Ilya ''at all'', implying that she probably returned to her castle to live the rest of her (short) life alone, since Shirou is dead and Sakura is far too traumatised and depressed to possibly look after Ilya.
* ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'': Basically every bad ending is this, and the game really chews out the [[WhatTheHellPlayer player for it more than Hisao]].
** In particular, the bad end in [[spoiler:Shizune]]'s route. [[spoiler:She tells Hisao that she's always had to be the best in anything and everything she does, causing her to be selfish all the time. She feels that this flaw of hers is causing her to push away him and Misha, so she breaks up with him, thinking it's entirely her fault it's come to this. The last thing you see is her sitting on the steps, completely friendless, [[CallBack with the stuffed cat you won for her in Act 1]] hanging out of her bag.]] How do you get this ending? [[spoiler:By cheating on her with Misha.]] And for worse? [[spoiler:After the cheating deed is done, we learn Misha's ''painful'' reasons to ask Hisao for sexual comfort. She came to him because she's in love with ''Shizune'', has been for a long time, and was completely ''[[SexForSolace desperate]]''. Doing the act with Misha causes the two of you to distance yourselves from Shizune out of guilt, which is why Shizune thinks she's pushing you both away. In other words, you cause her to not only lose her only two real friends in the world, but you lead her to think it's all her fault. YouBastard.]]
** Much worse is [[ShrinkingViolet Hanako]]'s Bad Ending: [[spoiler:Hanako, in a shocking [[RageBreakingPoint explosive fit of rage]], screams at Hisao for establishing their relationship purely on [[DontYouDarePityMe pity]] and not viewing her as an equal. Her pure anger seems to be aimed not at Hisao, but at ''you, the player'', because Hanako being TheWoobie is likely why the player chose to pursue her in the first place]]. Her Neutral Ending isn't much better; [[spoiler:after eating some food together and playing chess ([[CallBack like they do in her Act 1 ending]]), Hanako and Hisao remain on good terms, but after all the time the player has spent trying to help her, their relationship has gone [[ShaggyDogStory nowhere]]. Hanako even lampshades this]].
** Rin's Neutral Ending could count even more than her Bad Ending, [[spoiler:because you get it by failing to connect with her in the way she wanted you to. She gets an art scholarship in Tokyo, which means leaving Hisao. She asks if he hates her, he replies in the negative, and she hugs him (as well as she can), answering that it would be easier if he did. Hisao tells her it's hard to hate her when she's hugging him like that, to which she just answers "I can't hug anyone, Hisao. I'm a bad person like that. That's why I have to go." before walking out of his life]].
* ''VisualNovel/MuvLuvAlternative'' ischock full chock-full of these these, and when you start feeling like you've gotten used to them them, they just blind side blindside you anyway. It probably really starts all going to hell when instructor Jinguuji dies horrifically horrifically, and it just keeps getting worse and worse from there.
** Shortly afterthat that, Takeru panics and runs back to his original world and in so doing indirectly brings about Jinguuji's horrific death in that timeline *again* and it gets worse still as everyone who ever cared for him starts to forget him, even Sumika who loves him dearly. Then Sumika gets in a terrible accident that very nearly kills her, again indirectly caused by Takeru fleeing to the Extra world.

** [[VisualNovel/NewDanganronpaV3 The third game]] features a hefty slug to the gut in the very first trial, where it's revealed that the culprit is none other than [[spoiler: Kaede Akamatsu. Yes, ''the protagonist herself is the murderer this time''. After you select her as the culprit, the P.O.V shifts to Shuichi, a detective who is not only afraid to reveal the truth, but also a LoveInterest for her]]. You then have to push to establish the culprit's guilt, and it's made painfully clear that the player character ''really'' doesn't want to go through with it. Nor, most likely, does the player. Then the game hits you again by having the culprit's execution be used to demostrate how much more [[DarkerAndEdgier brutal and agonising]] the executions are in this game.
*** Then much later the game comes back for seconds. [[spoiler: You know Kaede's method of trying to kill the Mastermind? ''It failed''. Kaede's shot put ball didn't hit Rantaro, but the Mastermind whacked him after it fell, then tampered with the crime scene. Yes, [[MiscarriageOfJustice Kaede died for nothing]] [[YouCantThwartStageOne No, you can't keep her from being executed]]]].
