A rogue character who doesn't obey the law, bandits are known to steal from people for their own selfish gain.
A person serving time in prison or an escaped criminal on the run from the law.
Carefully exploring a large, labyrinthine area full of enemies (i.e., a dungeon) in the hopes of finding treasure, leveling up, or completing a specific task. Having their roots in tabletop games, video game dungeon crawls are found almost exclusively in RPGs.
When the main character at some point has to escape from a confined area, be it a dungeon, a prison cell, or a penal colony.
When will those crazy scientists learn? Be it killer robots, invasions from outer space, sentient computers or mutations; they always seem to have the habit of leaving a big mess behind for you to clean up.
First-Person is a vantage point that attempts to simulate looking through a game character's eyes. It is most commonly found in first-person shooters, racing games, and visual novels, and to a lesser extent in other genres, such as RPGs, 3D platformers, and adventure games.
Some rooms have faulty lights that flick on and off. Often this is used in horror games to help build an unsettling atmosphere.
Gatherers are one of the main enemies of Amnesia Dark Descent.
The act of granting freedom to prisoners or subjugated NPCs.
Police are paid protectors who enforce the law through legal use of force. They are supposed to help ensure public safety and social order. Their motto is to protect and to serve.
The idea of deriving a feeling of pleasure through inflicting pain or suffering on another living being.
A hairstyle, sans hair.
Many horror-themed games feature characters uttering despondent noises; this includes screaming, sobbing, and moaning.
The disgusting process in which a character regurgitates the contents of their stomach back into the world, usually performed as a means of purging the body of poisons or intoxicants, but often (in videogames, anyway) used as a means of projectile attack by non-human enemies.
You're halfway through the game or more, everything's going great. You've got tons of weapons and crap and BAM! Flash grenade! You wake up later captured, off to either be executed, interrogated, etc. Often, you've lost all of your weapons as well. You sir, have just woken up captured.
An enemy in the Silent Hill franchise.
