* SillinessSwitch: ''Evil God Korone'' starts off as this, with a hilarious opening that has the cutesy Korone attempt to brainwash people with a silly song, and the loops the protagonist experiences are just him needing to watch Korone's stream. [[spoiler:[[SubvertedTrope And then you see]] what being a [[LoonyFan Koronesuki]] [[BodyHorror entails]], and it suddenly isn't funny. It isn't funny ''at all.'' Although, there ''is'' a good ending that can be achieved, making it one of the few Tsugu No Hi games that can potentially end ''without'' a DownerEnding.]]
