That could describe a number of tropes. Characterization Marches On, Continuity Snarl, Early-Installment Weirdness and Retcon all spring to mind. Less flatteringly, Ass Pull.
Ok so, let's say a game has two parts. Part 1 has a plot that seems pretty straightforward, characters are established. Then Part 2 comes along and suddenly there are new plot points that seem to contradict Part 1, as well as new traits for characters that weren't there before.
A specific example I found is in the game Sally.exe Continued Nightmare: Eye of Three, of which I made a page. Part 1 has the main villain pretty much be an evil power hungry demon who is murdering the heroes to use as servants. Then Part 2 suddenly introduces new characters that the villain is actually fighting against, and the reason he is murdering so many is to protect them.
The inconsistency is largely because Part 1 is not changed much from the demo and these story elements were planned later in development.
So I don't know if something like this would be a trope.
