Paranoia is a CRPG that takes place in humanity's last idyllic refuge, Alpha Complex, which is controlled by [[TheComputerIsYourFriend Friend Computer]]. All citizens enjoy a life of joy, cheerfulness and cleanliness. The game revolves around a team of SecretPolice known as Troubleshooters tasked with [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin finding trouble and shooting it]]. Friend Computer monitors your every move, alert for any sign of treason, and will undoubtedly reward you for prompt and heroic action in defense of Alpha Complex – or punish treasonable acts, possibly by assigning you to be used as reactor shielding.

TheComputerIsYourFriend: As the TropeNamer, Friend Computer is a barely-functional lunatic as a result of limitations in its programming preventing it from properly fulfilling its duty as a BenevolentAI, making it act more like an unstable dictator.
DeathIsCheap: The PlayerCharacters are a series of expendable clones that are simply remade every time they're killed. In fact, death is actually a ''benefit'' as the successive clone [[CameBackStrong is even stronger]].
