Deleted trope potholed to read "Inconvenient Miscarriage". The trope itself is Convenient Miscarriage, and the description being "strongly implied" suggests that it was somehow the opposite of a Convenient Miscarriage, and therefore, not an example.

* YouAreAlreadyDead: When the battery reaches it's last bar, that's your signal to get to bed ASAP. Dawdle long enough for the red bar to start blinking, and you're doomed; the house will supernaturally-trap you in whatever room you're currently in, shortly before suffering a room-specific scripted death. [[spoiler: This also happens if you go to sleep on the final night instead of taking the necessary steps to get the best ending - you'll promptly be dragged out of bed and torn apart by the entity.]]

''Paranormal'' is an indie-produced horror game for PC, currently available via Steam's Early Access and undergoing further development. The game's style is reminiscent of FoundFootageFilms, as the player directs a new homeowner's attempts to capture his (very) haunted house's ever-intensifying supernatural manifestations via InUniverseCamera. Every running of ''Paranormal'' is unique, as the spooky events and increasingly-dangerous apparitions are generated randomly each time, becoming more extreme as Mattel's investigation stretches out over several nights.
