Drive down the old highway at midnight, walk through an ancient shrine to the Elder Gods, or "sleep off" a bad trip from a strange drug that's darker than oil... and you'll end up in a parallel world made of your worst nightmares. This is the Dark World.
It is a twisted fun-house mirror version of our own world, filled with the dilapidated and distorted reflections of normal buildings, decayed into Sinister Subways and Abandoned Hospitals. The changes can even extend to the layout of the city or area, the geography will turn malevolent as it gets huge gaping holes, fences, or other barriers added — or removed. The dimensions don't have to add up the way you learned in geometry class.
Its inhabitants will likely be similarly warped, if not monsters or unfathomable spirits outright. If the real world is also populated with monsters, expect the former to be tougher. Perhaps they feel at home in the dark? It's not always literally darker, but often is. It might not necessarily be evil, but often is. The nature of the Dark World might never be revealed, but could very well be entirely "natural", or outright hellish.
Entering the Dark World can be distressingly easy: drive to a little old town, walk into a Haunted Castle, activate a strange device, fly into a Swirly Energy Thingy, crawl through a hole in your bathroom or go into a Convenient Coma near a psychically charged place. The last one tends to be freakiest because whatever Nightmare Fuel the darkness throws at you will most likely be reinforced by your own mind. Returning to the "real" world is always harder; even if you have control over your transitions between the worlds, your objective will often be in the more dangerous one — and even if you walk away, the Darkness might just follow you home...
The most creepy part of this trope is how mundane it is. It is really difficult to imagine oneself in an obviously Eldritch Location, but it's easy to imagine that you got lost in your home town and ended up in some district that really gives you chills.
See also Mirror World and Spirit World, which may overlap at times. Frequently used as the horror genre form of Environmental Symbolism, the Dark World shares some qualities with, but is distinct from, Time Travel and Another Dimension. If you travel from your hometown to a Bad Future where it's in ruins, that's Time Travel. If you travel from your hometown to an Enchanted Forest, that's Another Dimension. But if you travel from your hometown to a dark, twisted parody of your hometown filled with monsters... congratulations, enjoy your stay in the Dark World.
If you merely go back to your hometown when it's dark, even if the town's been infested by The Undead, then you're in a Remixed Level.note Unless your town got zapped into a Dark World, in which case, good luck.
A Dark World is usually a type of Alternate World Map, if used as a video game world map.
A Sub-Trope of Shadowland. Not to be confused with Blackout Basement, where the world is literally dark.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The encroachment of the Twilight into Hyrule creates this effect. Any area under the sway of the Twilight looks nearly identical to its normal state, except that the colors are washed out and little bits of darkness constantly peel off of everything and float up toward the sky. Sapient beings are turned into spirits that look like little wisps of light, and non-sapient beings are turned into black, tentacled versions of themselves. What little is seen of the Twilight Realm proper seems to be a dark inversion of the regular Hyrule, complete with its own ruling Princess and peaceful inhabitants.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds has the kingdom of Lorule, which is very similar to the Dark World from A Link to the Past but, instead of being a corrupted Sacred Realm, is a parallel dimension to Hyrule that has been corrupted by its residents destroying their Triforce centuries before. As a result, the land of Lorule itself has begun crumbling away, leaving gaping abysses across the landscape, and monsters have overrun much of the country. Its people are all parallels to those of Hyrule but altered in some way, usually leaving them more pessimistic, more cowardly or more malevolent than their Hyrulean counterparts.

Pale: When the town of Kennet begins to become "knotted" (its reality subtly altered and twisted by the heavy amounts of magic in the area), one of the major signs is the appearance of the Kennet "Undercity", a dark mirror realm of Kennet. Kennet itself is a pretty typical small Canadian ski resort town, but the Undercity is home to constant gang wars, rampant crime and drug abuse, and severe air pollution. Part of the heroes' job becomes watching out for people accidentally stumbling into the Undercity... or the Undercity's denizens finding their way over to the "normal" Kennet.

Digimon:
DigiQuartz in Digimon Xros Wars: The Young Hunters Who Leapt Through Time. It resembles a corroded, overgrown version of Tokyo, and miscreant Digimon behaviour there tends to have effects on the real world, up to and including the kidnapping of schoolchildren.
Digimon Universe: App Monsters has the same idea: an AR Field usually looks like the real world as rendered by a computer that's not very good at it. The colors are warped, the buildings look moldy and abandoned, the sky looks like the Digital World sky as seen in the Xros Wars era, and there are places where it looks as if the world is a hologram that's breaking up, letting you see a strange purple void behind it. The real world's technology is affected; if an attack hits a building in the AR Field, expect technology in the building to go haywire, power to go out, and even things like cell phones to stop working.
The Dark Ocean in Digimon Adventure 02, gloomy home to digimon that... aren't really digimon, in thrall to a Cthulhu Expy.
The protagonists of Digimon Ghost Game can use a function on their digivices to pull themselves and their enemies into AR Field-like Phantom Zones that resemble an altered version of their location that contains a single biome and a perpetual overcast that resembles the Digital World's sky from the original Adventure series. A later message from Hokuto reveals that the Digivices map environmental data recorded in the Digital World onto the characters' surroundings to create them.

Dragon Quest VIII has a Dark Is Not Evil version, because although the world is a darker version of the normal world (and everything is black and white, with very little color being present in it, in contrast to the vibrant world the heroes came from) and the Sealed Evil in a Can the heroes are after hails from there, the people there are as friendly and helpful as in the normal world. Unfortunately, unlike most examples such as the Trope Namer, only a small part of this game's Dark World is visited (specifically, the Dark World's counterpart of an island the heroes visited; the heroes have no way of getting to the rest of the Dark World because they have no way off the island, since they only have a ship in their own world), even though the full world would have no doubt been very large like the normal world map.

Awkward Zombie: One strip parodies The Legend of Zelda's tendency to invent a seemingly new but functionally identical Dark World whenever a game needs one, as Link from A Link Between Worlds gets lost amid a series of parallel worlds — including the Dark World from A Link to the Past, Subrosia from The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons, the Twilight Realm from Twilight Princess and the Silent Realm from Skyward Sword — while trying to get from Lorule to Hyrule.

The afterlife for people who killed themselves in Wristcutters: A Love Story is essentially a mild version of this trope. It's just like the regular world, only less colorful and more depressing, and nobody ever smiles. And there's a black hole under the front passenger seat of the protagonist's roommate's car.

Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance features a Dark World referred to as Castle B, and you've been flipping back and forth between the two, though you won't find this out until halfway through the game. Castle B is exactly the same layout as Castle A, except with different enemies, bosses and items, but it's all wrecked compared to the pristine Castle A.

Sunless Skies: Apparently created and exploited for the resort town of Worlebury-juxta-Mare, the dark world version being called the Off Season. It apparently occupies the same space, but all the rides and structures are in disrepair, everything is caked in awful filth and the various creatures are having nasty issues. Here is where the maintenance staff resides, and they can actually affect the regular version of the place and maintain it from the Off Season without being seen, keeping every last speck of imperfection they can remove from reaching the sights of visitors.

In Guild Wars: Nightfall regions can become "Nightfallen" when there is a strong enough connection between the Realm of Torment and Elona. These areas are heavily warped, have the same dark sky as the Realm of Torment, and are populated by demons and Margonites. Within the actual Realm of Torment several Nightfallen versions of zones from Elona can be found, which are even more warped.

Lord Entropy's Chancel in Nobilis is actually known as "The Evil World". Since the Darkest Lord is a Card-Carrying Villain, it lives up to its name — complete with monsters that die immediately if they undergo a Heel–Face Turn — and it can occasionally overlap with Prosaic Reality. As a general rule, just... don't go down Samael St. Augustine unless your will is up to date.

The Old World of Darkness had the Penumbra and Dark Umbra. The Shadowlands from Wraith: The Oblivion may be the best example — the wraiths gaze out on the same world as us, but everything seems to be in a state of decay. Also, in a meta example, the old World is written as a dark reflection of the real world, where extremes are more stark, gothic architecture abounds, and things are generally worse than in the real world. The new World tends to play it as the real world but with supernatural elements, which is a much different approach.

In Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, you eventually get the ability to "phase between dimensions" in certain areas, allowing you to progress and reach new areas. The Schwarzwelt, its name literally meaning "Black World", is also in and of itself a Dark World, with several dungeons being twisted parodies of various parts of the human world.

Used few times in the Shin Megami Tensei series.
Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne downplays it with the Mirage dimension in Kabukicho Prison. Visually, the lighting and mist actually make it less creepy than the real one even if it's upside-down. Then you see that empty rooms in the real world are torture chambers to drain Magatsuhi from Manikins in this side...
The original Persona has the two worlds coexisting beside each other. Early in the game, the city is replaced by a dream facsimile. The east side of town appears normal, while the west side is enveloped in darkness, indicating that it is under Guido's control. The previously-visited subways and shopping malls on this side have deteriorated into war zones; store mannequins wear bandoleers and riot gear, and everyone is now dressed in Mad Max punk fashions.
Persona 2 has the so-called "Other Side", which is merely the result of the heroes failing in their mission. When Nyarlathotep kills Maya Amano and destroys the world, Tatsuya implores his spirit guide, Philemon, to turn back time. The sequel, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment takes place in a parallel world in which Innocent Sin's events did not occur. Nevertheless, a few characters (JOKER in particular) remember the "Other Side", and imply that it still exists. The game's ending has Tatsuya, who also remembers the Other Side, swap places with his alternate-universe counterpart, allowing one Tatsuya to resume his life in blissful ignorance. The other Tatsuya returns to the Other Side to help rebuild.
Persona 3 has a "Dark Hour" between midnight and 12:01am when the Shadows come out to play: the sky turns a sickly green, the city's splattered in blood, a twisted supernatural tower dominates the landscape and most humans are turned into indestructible coffins. They're the lucky ones.
Persona 4 places all of its dungeons in a world accessed by sticking your head through a turned-off TV. Each new dungeon reflects how the victim of the month sees the world around him. The big winner of this is Magatsu Inaba, which is a dungeon based off of the actual town of Inaba.
Persona 5 has the Palaces, corrupted versions of real world locations that grow and transform based on the warped hidden desires of a human "master", which exist within the Metaverse, a world of human cognition.
There's a Dark Realm in the Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha games, although it's not quite as creepy and twisted as most of these. It's mostly just, well... dark, and full of demons.
In Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, you eventually get the ability to "phase between dimensions" in certain areas, allowing you to progress and reach new areas. The Schwarzwelt, its name literally meaning "Black World", is also in and of itself a Dark World, with several dungeons being twisted parodies of various parts of the human world.

Amaterasu Server in Digimon World 3 is something like a Dark World version of the regular game world. Not really evil, just shrouded in eternal darkness. Comparatively, the Asuka Server where you start out in is always sunny 24/7. Travel between the two "servers" is done using a combination of 2 different secret (and dangerous) routes.

In Chaos Field, the game's setting takes place in a world being invaded by an unknown alien force seeking to take over the "Order" Field with its own titular "Chaos" Field, and the game's central mechanic revolves around shifting between the two Fields to maximize firepower while dealing with more aggressive bullet patterns and managing their Meta gauge to perform special attacks or to pull up defenses.

Another early example comes from the NES A Nightmare on Elm Street game. While you're exploring the regular town, a sleep gauge slowly drains away. If you don't keep it recharged with coffee, you'll eventually shift into the dream world. On the bright side, you can then change into one of four superpowered forms. On the not so bright side, the setting becomes darker and more twisted, with water turned into blood and the enemies stronger and now bearing Freddy'sâ„¢ features. And once you're in the dream world, another, unseen timer begins to count down until Freddy'sâ„¢ Ironic Nursery Rhyme theme begins to play. If you haven't woken up by the time it finishes, you'll end up trapped in a Recurring Boss fight with Freddyâ„¢ himself.

Shannara: When it was first brought up in Elfstones of Shannara, the Forbidding was never really seen, but it was given a vague description of being a dark and empty void to which the demons had been imprisoned. When we finally get to see it in the High Druid of Shannara series, it was revealed to be a Dark World of the Four Lands.

The 10th dimension from Crash Twinsanity is a warped, reversed version of the regular universe the rest of the series takes place in. The peaceful, natural beauty of N.Sanity island is twisted into a unnatural hellscape called Twinsanity island. Everyone from the regular dimension have opposite counterparts, with the kind, goofy Crash being mirrored with the violent, cannibalistic Evil Crash (there were other 10th dimension counterparts planned, such as Evil Coco and Good Cortex, but they were sadly cut from the final game due to time constraints). Even the soundtrack on Twinsanity island is a less bouncy, spooky sounding version of N.Sanity island's theme.

The Nevernever from The Dresden Files can have aspects of this. As an Eldritch Location, Nevernever is an all-encompassing spirit realm that could have some near-Earth level physics to it, to places very unreal to the human world. It is said Hell, Heaven, Hades, Valhalla, and any other number of religious domains exist there. When the titular character Harry Dresden opens a portal in the shadows of the Pyramids of Giza, he describes a giant crystal pyramid with smooth edges and a sun hanging above. The beams of sunlight refracted in the crystal and made the light even more intense. Harry notes the beams are strong enough to melt metal. What is worst is there isn't a ratio for the human world. Had Harry opened up a portal in a different spot around the pyramids, he could have entered a totally different realm.

SCP Foundation: SCP-3283 leads to an Always Night version of the city of Boise where the buildings seem to be freshly constructed and beyond city limits is an endless forest. The stars are too bright and don't match Earth's night sky. A member of an exploration team even references the trope name when describing it.

Kingdom Hospital: Psychic Sally Druse called the spirit world "Swedenborgian space." Those who ventured into it saw it as dark, haunted parodies of either the Old Kingdom (the hospital from the 1930s) or the Civil War-era Gates Falls Mill, whose ruins both hospitals were later built upon.

In Final Fantasy XII, the late-game boss battles against Pandaemonium, Slyt, and Fenrir take place in perpetually-eclipsed versions of the Nam-Yensa Sandsea, Cerobi Steppe, and Paramina Rift respectively. The boss arenas are locations that are above or below traversable areas in their real counterparts.

Final Fantasy XIV has two examples, both of which are alternate realities to the world of Hydaelyn created by the eponymous goddess's victory over Her rival god Zodiark.
The first is the Void, a realm where the forces of Darkness have defeated the forces of Light so thoroughly that the entire world is shrouded in perpetual pitch darkness. So strong is this darkness that it can mutate living beings into Voidsent. The Void is only visited in a few instances.
The second is the First, the main setting of the expansion Shadowbringers and also a Zig-Zagged example: rather than falling to the forces of Darkness, the First saw the forces of Light win. Unfortunately, Light Is Not Good in this case, and the ensuing Flood of Light has destroyed all of the world except for the continent of Norvrandt. Also, like with the Voidsent, the overflow of Light has given birth to a unique breed of Eldritch Abomination called "sin eaters". In various respects, Norvrandt has much in common with Eorzea: the same races inhabit both worlds (although with different names, like Elves for Elezen or Humes for Hyur), and the various regions of Norvrandt are similar to those of Eorzea (the Black Shroud and the Rak'tika Greatwood, Kholusia and La Noscea, etc.).

Since the introduction of phasing in Wrath of the Lich King, World of Warcraft missions sending the player to such locations have become increasingly common. The Realm Of Shadows and the Emerald Dream, connected to death knights and druids respectively are both represented in-game as a shadowed and oftentimes corrupted version of the present world, roamed by nightmarish beings.

The freeware game Eversion starts out in a typically cheerful retro platformer world, but in order to progress you must "evert," traveling through a sequence of mostly-similar worlds that each contain crucial differences (i.e. whether particular obstacles are intangible, solid, or breakable) allowing you to navigate through a maze and collect all the gems. Once you get to the third world, it becomes clear that each World in the sequence is gradually Darker than the last — a "descent into Platform Hell" if you will.

Insidious has "The Further", a shadowy realm populated exclusively by demons and spirits. The only way a human can access it is if they were born with the ability to mentally travel there through the astral plane. Renai and Josh's son Dalton has such an ability, and slips into a coma when he ventures out too far into the Further and gets lost. It turns out the ability is spread genetically, and his came from his father, who was unaware of having the same power. When Josh eventually finds out he shares the same power, he uses it to enter the Further and rescue his son, at the cost of getting possessed by a demon.

The Nightmares & Dreamscapes short story "Crouch End" is about a family couple who gets lost in an unfamiliar district of London. The district looks almost normal with shops, restaurants, etc., and yet there's something off about it; its inhabitants include a couple of scary children and an ugly cat with a disfigured face. In fact, it gets even somewhat less scary when the actual monsters appear.

SIGNALIS has two towards the end of the game. Initially, it seems that the Sierpinski 23 mining station is being overrun by a typical zombie plague, with one case of Meat Moss in a kitchen. By the time the protagonist jumps into the depths of the caves, she enters a nightmare realm made almost entirely of non-euclidian rooms, meat moss everywhere, and distorted versions of prior locations. This returns in New Game Plus, with a world made of memories of an apartment complex in the planet Rotfront being slowly consumed by growing cancerous growths as the protagonist gathers plot relevant items.

The show's protagonist takes a wrong turn while looking for Serial Killer John Mirra and emerges in "Noir York City", a Roger Rabbit-like horror show of cartoon taxis and buildings with mouths. John Mirra is revealed as the hero's Evil Twin, of course, concealed beneath a fedora. (Both are played by Max Payne developer Sam Lake.)

Max Payne:
The nightmare sequences from the first Max Payne game have a similar visual and gameplay effect to this trope, alternating between a dark and distorted version of the location he was in previously and some bouts of outright Bizarrchitecture and Surreal Horror, but are actually a result of Max suffering vivid hallucinations while dosed up with some sort of narcotic.

The original Persona has the two worlds coexisting beside each other. Early in the game, the city is replaced by a dream facsimile. The east side of town appears normal, while the west side is enveloped in darkness, indicating that it is under Guido's control. The previously-visited subways and shopping malls on this side have deteriorated into war zones; store mannequins wear bandoleers and riot gear, and everyone is now dressed in Mad Max punk fashions.

Persona 2 has the so-called "Other Side", which is merely the result of the heroes failing in their mission. When Nyarlathotep kills Maya Amano and destroys the world, Tatsuya implores his spirit guide, Philemon, to turn back time. The sequel, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment takes place in a parallel world in which Innocent Sin's events did not occur. Nevertheless, a few characters (JOKER in particular) remember the "Other Side", and imply that it still exists. The game's ending has Tatsuya, who also remembers the Other Side, swap places with his alternate-universe counterpart, allowing one Tatsuya to resume his life in blissful ignorance. The other Tatsuya returns to the Other Side to help rebuild.

The first level of Twilight in Night Watch (Series), which Others can enter by stepping into their shadows, is like this. The deeper layers don't resemble Earth at all - the second level has, among other things, three moons and much weaker gravity. Also, at the second level, you can barely even see man-made structures. They resemble a dark mist, which you can fall through if you're not careful. Anton kills a low-level Dark Other on a TV tower by entering the second level and pulling the Dark Other down. When the Dark Other emerges back into the human world, he's hanging under the walkway with his fingers embedded in the glass floor. Interestingly, in Last Watch, Anton notes that, as he goes deeper into the Twilight, it looks, at first, less and less colorful, but, at some point, being to look more and more colorful until the sixth level looks almost like the human world if humans had never evolved. Of course, this is because the Twilight is circular, and the seventh level is actually the human world.

Exalted: The Underworld is a realm of stasis, death, and shadow brought into existence by the destruction of several of the Primordials who created the world, populated by ghosts, and ruled by the emissaries of the undead hulks of those same Primordials. It isn't always geographically coterminous with Creation proper, but it makes up for it in sheer creepiness. Shadowlands are essentially the Underworld overlapping with a part of Creation in a spot where gruesome deaths occurred. You might not even notice that you walked into a shadowland right away...

Silent Hill features multiple levels of this trope in play. Most games feature the main character flipping back and forth between the derelict, fog-shrouded town and its hideous, blood-and-rust Dark World form. The relatively more normal-looking fog-shrouded town itself may be a Dark World mirror of an ordinary populated town (Purgatory versus Hell), depending on the continuity and your preferred explanation.

Marvel Universe:
Ruins takes place in a Death World that runs entirely on Murphy's Law, where nobody has the Required Secondary Powers necessary to keep their powers from killing themselves and everyone around them while the Badass Normals just end up getting themselves killed.
Age of X takes place in a universe where instead of doing heroics The Avengers are a government death squad dedicated to wiping out mutants. Captain America is a Broken Ace Just Following Orders, Iron Man is slowly being killed by his suit, Susan Storm sold out the rest of the Fantastic Four for harboring mutants, and The Punisher calls all the shots.
Immortal Hulk showcases the Hulk as a horror story and along with the darker tone comes the Below-Place. The Below-Place is depicted as the lowest point of existence and even lower than every hell. It was stated by Brian Banner, Bruce Banner's Archnemesis Dad, that the Below-Place is the foundation of the idea of hell. The Below-Place takes on the older interpenetration of hell being a place utterly devoid of anything and cut off from everything, including God. The Below-Place itself spans the entire multiverse and is a desolate landscape littered with signs of ruined civilizations copied from the multiverse serving as the dark mirror to creation. To make matters worse, while there are "people" in the below place called qliphoths that are duplicates of every sentient creature in the multiverse but still don't count as companionship as they are empty husk people and devoid of souls while spouting phrases their templates said during their lives with no real thought. If this dark existence devoid of all true life and contact with anything else weren't bad enough, there is the being trapped there since before existence began. A being of pure hate and the Unseen Evil in the multiverse that despises all living beings while wanting to annihilate everything to make all dead and hollow as itself. A being that has influenced every evil entity and person consumed by evil subtly without anyone even realizing its manipulations. The shadow below the multiverse and creation's other face....The One Below All.

Dragon Age: Origins, another BioWare product, has The Fade, which consists largely of flawed copies of material-world areas floating in a spooky void.

The Territories in The Talisman is something of a smaller magical reflection of our world. The Territories themselves are an alternate reality version of America and as such there are many ways in which the two worlds mirror each other. One of the first is the town of Oatley and one of the last is the nuclear wasteland that is the Territories' version of the great plains.

Several planes in Dungeons & Dragons have this trait.
The Plane of Shadow, is a monochrome land with a pitch-black sky. Its terrain is roughly analogous to the Material Plane, so that if you cross to it from a city you may find yourself in a dark and ruined settlement, complete with shadowy inhabitants whose twisted features are recognizable as your friends and loved ones. Things get more fluid the further you go, and you might find a shadow castle where none stands on the Material Plane, or an old battlefield instead of a dungeon - these "shadow mirages" are thought to be the result of influence from alternate Material Planes, leading some seers to visit the Plane of Shadow to search for hints of potential futures. The plane is inhabited by a variety of shadow-touched creatures as well as undead who enjoy the ambience, light-based magic is naturally impeded there, and areas called Darklands are so saturated with negative energy that they can drain the life from living creatures, but unlike the Lower Planes, the Plane of Shadow is not inherently evil. Despite its dangers, it still sees use as a "transitive plane," since any distance traveled on the Plane of Shadow is doubled upon return to the Material Plane, and a brave traveler who seeks out the "Deep Shadow" can find themselves in the dark reflection of other planes entirely.
The Shadowfell, which replaced the Plane of Shadow in the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition iteration of the Multiverse, is one part this and one part The Underworld; it's a "dark reflection" of the living world, where the terrain is altered to suggest decay, fear, darkness, misery or madness. All departed souls pass through this realm on their way to their final fate, and the undead are born from its influence. There are communities of living beings here, but it's considered an unhealthy environment; the place literally drains living beings of hope, joy and positive emotions. Whilst often conflated with the Plane of Shadow, there are some key differences, the simplest of which is that the Plane of Shadow has no connection to the afterlife.
The Plane of Faerie, or Feywild, is home to The Fair Folk, a twilit realm of fantastic terrain. Instead of a volcano you might find a towering mountain studded with enormous fiery crystals, a muddy brook on the Material Plane might be represented by a wide and raging river, or a wetland might become a trackless bog.
The Spirit World is an exaggerated, more primal version of the Material Plane, so a waterfall there would be taller, louder, its waters purer, and probably home to an elemental or spirit.
Domains within the Ravenloft setting which recapitulate actual Material Plane locations such as Barovia (as opposed to being crafted from scratch to suit a darklord's proclivities) are invariably this trope. Some are obviously that way, while others bear a close enough superficial resemblance that no difference is noticed until night falls and the spooky kicks in.

Although Outworld in the Mortal Kombat series is usually just Another Dimension, one arena in Mortal Kombat: Deception crosses into this territory. The Yin-Yang Island is a tropical island that's caught between dimensions: it shifts constantly from the sunny, sandy beach on Earth into a stormswept Outworld nightmare during the battle, with the palm trees changing into giant snakes and back, and the ocean either being clear and peaceful or murky and swarming with piranhas.

In Shaman of the Undead the world in mirrors looks like oddly-colored, distorted and creepy-ish version of our own. Creepiness mostly comes from the fact that the demons and other unpleasantries are visible there.

The nightmare sequences from the first Max Payne game have a similar visual and gameplay effect to this trope, alternating between a dark and distorted version of the location he was in previously and some bouts of outright Bizarrchitecture and Surreal Horror, but are actually a result of Max suffering vivid hallucinations while dosed up with some sort of narcotic.

The Legend of Zelda:
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: The Dark World is the Trope Namer. Once it was the Sacred Realm (or Golden Land) and home to the Triforce, but after Ganon was banished there centuries ago, it became corrupted into its current form, a dark mirror of Hyrule. Some landforms are exaggerations of their Light World counterparts, like the ruined Village of Outcasts that stands in place of the settlement of Kakariko; other places are environmental inversions, such as the Swamp of Evil replacing the Light World's desert. Regular people in the Dark World are turned into weird monsters that reflect their hearts, while evil people are turned into demons. Link himself is turned into a pink bunny unless he gathers the correct item. Beyond the Dark World reflecting the Light World, in some cases events on one will affect the other, as seen when Link drains a Light World lake to gain access to a water-themed Dark World dungeon.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: The encroachment of the Twilight into Hyrule creates this effect. Any area under the sway of the Twilight looks nearly identical to its normal state, except that the colors are washed out and little bits of darkness constantly peel off of everything and float up toward the sky. Sapient beings are turned into spirits that look like little wisps of light, and non-sapient beings are turned into black, tentacled versions of themselves. What little is seen of the Twilight Realm proper seems to be a dark inversion of the regular Hyrule, complete with its own ruling Princess and peaceful inhabitants.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword has the Silent Realm, a blue-and-orange world that Link accesses by thrusting the Goddess Sword into specially marked spots. This realm is unique in that it's not evil by nature, as it was conceived by the goddesses to test Link's physical and spiritual skills so he can prove his worth and acquire important tools for his adventure. Because Link has to leave his sword behind to stay in the Silent Realm, he must rely on his agility to survive against the Guardians, monsters that can One-Hit Kill the player. The three Triforce pieces are located within as well, suggesting that it is or will become the Sacred Realm seen in later installments.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds has the kingdom of Lorule, which is very similar to the Dark World from A Link to the Past but, instead of being a corrupted Sacred Realm, is a parallel dimension to Hyrule that has been corrupted by its residents destroying their Triforce centuries before. As a result, the land of Lorule itself has begun crumbling away, leaving gaping abysses across the landscape, and monsters have overrun much of the country. Its people are all parallels to those of Hyrule but altered in some way, usually leaving them more pessimistic, more cowardly or more malevolent than their Hyrulean counterparts.
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: The Depths, the vast subterranean regions where there's little light and where Gloom has drenched many places, technically exist in the same plane of existence as the Hyrule introduced in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, just way underneath it. But like the original Dark World, its geography mirrors the layout of Hyrule: bodies of water on the surface have monolithic rock structure counterparts in the Depths, surface canyons are subterranean mountains and vice versa, mines in the Depths are right under towns on the surface, Lightroot fast travel spots have Sdrawkcab Names of Shrines directly above them, and the entry method of diving into Chasms feels like a more involved version of entering the portals to the Dark World in A Link to the Past. It's even where Ganondorf was sealed away in the distant past.

In Horror Shop there exists a parallel dimension to the real world called Shadow, inhabited by closet monsters, bogeymen, and other Things That Go "Bump" in the Night. This dimension can be accessed from closets and other doorways and resembles a version of the real world where everything was designed by Tim Burton.

Twin Peaks had the "White Lodge" and the more often seen "Black Lodge." Both realms have hidden entrances in the woods: the former is an idyllic garden, the latter is an Eldritch Location comprised of checkered floors, chairs (the 'waiting room'), and distinctive red curtains. The Black Lodge is also home to the Doppelgangers — manifestations of the evil within each of the show's characters — one of whom escapes into the body of Cooper in the series finale.

Zimmy from Gunnerkrigg Court occasionally gets pulled into a twisted city, with subtle Alien Geometries, defaced mannequins in boarded-up buildings, bizarre silhouettes of people and centipedes in the windows, and a native population that consists entirely of creepy people with no faces and even creepier doppelgangers of people Zimmy knows. It's unclear if this place is real, or just a dark corner of Zimmy's mind. Tom Siddell loosely modeled this place after his hometown, Birmingham. Given the way he describes the city, he seems to consider Birmingham a Real Life example of this setting as well; this led to many of the fans referring to Zimmy's mind city as Sunny Birmingham or Zimmingham.

In Super Mario Bros. (1993), the parallel dimension city is essentially the Dark World to New York. It's suggested in supplementary materials this was done consciously, Koopa looking at New York when he passed through the portal several decades earlier and getting ideas for how to rebuild the other world that he had just taken over.

Final Fantasy XIII-2 has Academia city. In the year 400 AF of the original timeline it's a Film Noir-slash-Cyber Punk-ish metropolis whose management AI has gone bonkers, secretly assassinated its creators three centuries ago, and starts indiscriminately turning inhabitants into monsters to attack Serah and Noel the moment they arrive. In the year 4XX AF (a timeline "forked" by Noel and Serah's actions), it is a sunny Crystal Spires and Togas utopia where the worst that can happen to you is tripping and falling on your face (and boy, do the local kids do that a lot).

RuneScape has a dark universe counterpart to the mainstream universe called "Erebus". Instead of a universe of life, it is a universe of entropy, flooded with shadow anima and seemingly ruled by dark counterparts to the Elder Gods. Its native inhabitants are possessed by festering hatred towards life, and immediately detect the player the one time they visit.

Final Fantasy XI:
Dynamis is a dream world originally created by the avatar Diabolos to escape the Emptiness, other beings began to be pulled in, and turned it into a Beastmen-dominated version of Vana'diel. The area itself is warped enough that aside from temporary visits by players (even then, they need spiritual assistance to get in), if you get stuck in there, it's for good.
The Emptiness itself resulted in the creation of Promyvion — bizarre, half-complete mockeries of the vicinity of the crags that hold pieces of the mothercrystal. Promyvion is implied to be composed of fragmentary memories of decayed souls.
Finally, we have Abyssea, perhaps the straightest example of this trope: a depressing parallel universe where the Crystal War was lost horribly, the aforementioned crags are missing, and XP parties play somewhat like Dynamis runs.

The Real Ghostbusters did this prominently in one episode. Egon, Peter, and Ray are transported to a hellish alternate version of Manhattan populated by ghosts and malevolent spirits. Interestingly, physics seem reversed there — the visiting humans have supernatural abilities, whereas the native spirits don't. New York City proper has also been transformed into a Dark World version of itself in a few episodes.

Immortal Hulk showcases the Hulk as a horror story and along with the darker tone comes the Below-Place. The Below-Place is depicted as the lowest point of existence and even lower than every hell. It was stated by Brian Banner, Bruce Banner's Archnemesis Dad, that the Below-Place is the foundation of the idea of hell. The Below-Place takes on the older interpenetration of hell being a place utterly devoid of anything and cut off from everything, including God. The Below-Place itself spans the entire multiverse and is a desolate landscape littered with signs of ruined civilizations copied from the multiverse serving as the dark mirror to creation. To make matters worse, while there are "people" in the below place called qliphoths that are duplicates of every sentient creature in the multiverse but still don't count as companionship as they are empty husk people and devoid of souls while spouting phrases their templates said during their lives with no real thought. If this dark existence devoid of all true life and contact with anything else weren't bad enough, there is the being trapped there since before existence began. A being of pure hate and the Unseen Evil in the multiverse that despises all living beings while wanting to annihilate everything to make all dead and hollow as itself. A being that has influenced every evil entity and person consumed by evil subtly without anyone even realizing its manipulations. The shadow below the multiverse and creation's other face....The One Below All.

The Elder Scrolls:
Coldharbour, the Daedric Plane of Molag Bal, the Daedric Prince of Domination and Corruption, is said to be a "ruined parody" of Nirn, with every imaginable catastrophe and disaster having happened to it. Every surface is said to be spattered with blood and excrement, and the smell alone is said to be enough to incapacitate any mortals unfortunate enough to be there. If that doesn't do the trick, the place is bitterly cold as its name suggests, even if you have magic to keep you warm.
In The Elder Scrolls Online, you visit an abridged version of Coldharbour, while in VIGILANT, a Game Mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you visit a part of Coldharbour that was depicted Truer to the Text.

One of the first video game appearances of a dark world is in the cult classic NES game Monster Party, a platformer that has a boy named Mark help a gargoyle named Bert defeat a bunch of monsters. The first level's set in a pastel Ghibli Hills world with rows of happy people in the background beneath a a bright blue sky. Halfway through the level, a bolt of lightning crashes, and everything changes: the people are rotting corpses, the world's turned to sickly shades of green, red and black, and the music's changed to a solemn dirge. Unfortunately, this very interesting and disturbing gimmick is confined solely to the first stage.

In the Dark Seed games, the Dark World is a twisted, desolate alternate version of Earth. It doesn't help that H.R. Giger designed it.

Dynamis is a dream world originally created by the avatar Diabolos to escape the Emptiness, other beings began to be pulled in, and turned it into a Beastmen-dominated version of Vana'diel. The area itself is warped enough that aside from temporary visits by players (even then, they need spiritual assistance to get in), if you get stuck in there, it's for good.
The Emptiness itself resulted in the creation of Promyvion — bizarre, half-complete mockeries of the vicinity of the crags that hold pieces of the mothercrystal. Promyvion is implied to be composed of fragmentary memories of decayed souls.
Finally, we have Abyssea, perhaps the straightest example of this trope: a depressing parallel universe where the Crystal War was lost horribly, the aforementioned crags are missing, and XP parties play somewhat like Dynamis runs.
In Final Fantasy XII, the late-game boss battles against Pandaemonium, Slyt, and Fenrir take place in perpetually-eclipsed versions of the Nam-Yensa Sandsea, Cerobi Steppe, and Paramina Rift respectively. The boss arenas are locations that are above or below traversable areas in their real counterparts.
Final Fantasy XIII-2 has Academia city. In the year 400 AF of the original timeline it's a Film Noir-slash-Cyber Punk-ish metropolis whose management AI has gone bonkers, secretly assassinated its creators three centuries ago, and starts indiscriminately turning inhabitants into monsters to attack Serah and Noel the moment they arrive. In the year 4XX AF (a timeline "forked" by Noel and Serah's actions), it is a sunny Crystal Spires and Togas utopia where the worst that can happen to you is tripping and falling on your face (and boy, do the local kids do that a lot).
Final Fantasy XIV has two examples, both of which are alternate realities to the world of Hydaelyn created by the eponymous goddess's victory over Her rival god Zodiark.
The first is the Void, a realm where the forces of Darkness have defeated the forces of Light so thoroughly that the entire world is shrouded in perpetual pitch darkness. So strong is this darkness that it can mutate living beings into Voidsent. The Void is only visited in a few instances.
The second is the First, the main setting of the expansion Shadowbringers and also a Zig-Zagged example: rather than falling to the forces of Darkness, the First saw the forces of Light win. Unfortunately, Light Is Not Good in this case, and the ensuing Flood of Light has destroyed all of the world except for the continent of Norvrandt. Also, like with the Voidsent, the overflow of Light has given birth to a unique breed of Eldritch Abomination called "sin eaters". In various respects, Norvrandt has much in common with Eorzea: the same races inhabit both worlds (although with different names, like Elves for Elezen or Humes for Hyur), and the various regions of Norvrandt are similar to those of Eorzea (the Black Shroud and the Rak'tika Greatwood, Kholusia and La Noscea, etc.).
Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, the setting of the game "World B" is a copy of "World A", the world of the original Final Fantasy, but is entirely desolate with different terrain and Mordor on the north-western continent.
Final Fantasy Dimensions: The World of Dusk. contains areas from both World of Light and World of Darkness, but the color scheme is sombre brown with melancholy music. The overworld contains much stronger enemies, most towns are empty, and some areas are just plain not there.

The Shadowmoor setting in Magic: The Gathering is the Dark World version of Lorwyn. Lorwyn and Shadowmoor are the same plane, the former experiencing eternal day and the latter eternal night. The plane alternates between the two every 300 years. While Lorwyn is a bright fairytale plane whose inhabitants are mostly peaceful, Shadowmoor is dark and its inhabitants exemplify The Fair Folk.

Fractured: In the 3rd and 4th games, the girl walks through sunny levels while the boy does the same in a dark version of the world, where the green leafy trees are brown, the platforms are slightly cracked, and everything in general, like the sky and clouds, are significantly darker note (everything except the Lava Pits, at least). The title screens of both games depict the dark world to have brambles where they aren't in the sunny world.

Domains within the Ravenloft setting which recapitulate actual Material Plane locations such as Barovia (as opposed to being crafted from scratch to suit a darklord's proclivities) are invariably this trope. Some are obviously that way, while others bear a close enough superficial resemblance that no difference is noticed until night falls and the spooky kicks in.

The Secret World:
The game combines this with Amusement Park of Doom in the Savage Coast area. Not only is Atlantic Island Park pretty horrible already (being overrun with zombies, like most of the island), there's also a shadow version of the park (entered by riding the ferris wheel) that players have to enter in order to hunt down the evil behind the haunted park. This also serves as a possible explanation for the vastly-different layout of Atlantic Island Park during The Park.
During the mission "The Vanishing Of Tyler Freeborn," players find a dark world-style replica of the entire town of Kingsmouth, incarnated as a nightmarish Lovecraftian surburbia: here, you can find a world of eerily identical whitewashed houses, jagged picket fences, and seemingly endless roads strewn with tendrils of Filth, all languishing beneath a pitch-black sky. Plus, it's infested with Filth-infected replicas of townsfolk you've met and befriended, all of whom will attack you on sight. It's been created by the Dreamers as a vision of what the world will be like when they finally escape; worse still, it's been drawn from the memories of all the people who've been infected by the Filth - because everyone in Kingsmouth has received a tiny but lethal dose. And there's nothing you can do to save them or stop the Dream.

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain has Nupraptor's keep is in the shape of a skull, built on a cliff. Looking through one eye socket will show you the lush landscape below. Looking through the other will show you the world through Nupraptor's eyes, a dead, twisted land with blackened ground and lava for water. Kain remarks that Nosgoth doesn't need help to make its corruption apparent.

The Halloween episode of Invader Zim has, appropriately enough, a nightmarish dark world born out of (or, at least, somehow connected to) the hero Dib's mind. Eventually the Eldritch Abominations lurking within it manage to capture and use Dib as a gateway into the real world... and the sight of the series' own Crapsack World sends them fleeing right back into the dark world.

The Shadowfell, which replaced the Plane of Shadow in the Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition iteration of the Multiverse, is one part this and one part The Underworld; it's a "dark reflection" of the living world, where the terrain is altered to suggest decay, fear, darkness, misery or madness. All departed souls pass through this realm on their way to their final fate, and the undead are born from its influence. There are communities of living beings here, but it's considered an unhealthy environment; the place literally drains living beings of hope, joy and positive emotions. Whilst often conflated with the Plane of Shadow, there are some key differences, the simplest of which is that the Plane of Shadow has no connection to the afterlife.

Multiple iterations of Black★Rock Shooter take place in or revolve around these. Whether it'd be the OVA or anime's parallel reality that both affects and is affected by events in the real world, with darker and far more powerful versions of some of the real world's inhabitants that can interact and merge with their counterparts if a connection is established, or the Innocent Soul manga's Threshold, which is basically purgatory for souls that could not fully pass on, twisted by the memories and perceptions of the souls in question, they're almost always pretty freaky to be in. And also almost always decked out in Astral Checkerboard Decor.

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes takes this to the logical extreme with Dark Aether, which was created when a Phazon-infused meteor struck the surface of Aether and split the planet into two parallel dimensions. In addition to being populated by tougher monsters, Dark Aether constantly drains your health (ridiculously quickly at first, then more slowly once you get certain upgrades) if you're not standing in a safe zone generated by certain crystals. It's the goal of the native Ing to destroy Aether and let Dark Aether take its place in the primary dimension, and they were literally two rooms from doing it at the beginning of the game before Samus came along and put a wrench into matters.

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: The Dark World is the Trope Namer. Once it was the Sacred Realm (or Golden Land) and home to the Triforce, but after Ganon was banished there centuries ago, it became corrupted into its current form, a dark mirror of Hyrule. Some landforms are exaggerations of their Light World counterparts, like the ruined Village of Outcasts that stands in place of the settlement of Kakariko; other places are environmental inversions, such as the Swamp of Evil replacing the Light World's desert. Regular people in the Dark World are turned into weird monsters that reflect their hearts, while evil people are turned into demons. Link himself is turned into a pink bunny unless he gathers the correct item. Beyond the Dark World reflecting the Light World, in some cases events on one will affect the other, as seen when Link drains a Light World lake to gain access to a water-themed Dark World dungeon.

Digimon Universe: App Monsters has the same idea: an AR Field usually looks like the real world as rendered by a computer that's not very good at it. The colors are warped, the buildings look moldy and abandoned, the sky looks like the Digital World sky as seen in the Xros Wars era, and there are places where it looks as if the world is a hologram that's breaking up, letting you see a strange purple void behind it. The real world's technology is affected; if an attack hits a building in the AR Field, expect technology in the building to go haywire, power to go out, and even things like cell phones to stop working.

The PC Game Blair Witch Volume I: Rustin Parr uses this trope to help explain some mysteries of the movie The Blair Witch Project. The woods of Burkittsville contain hidden "paths", as described by Native American lore, that twist through different levels of reality. While the normal forest is safe enough, there are other versions of it, such as the crimson-lit "Red Woods" and the foggy, twilight "Blue Woods", each inhabited by its own monsters and bearing key geographical differences (for example, in the normal woods, Rustin Parr's house has burned to the ground, but it's still standing in the Red Woods). The worst of these worlds is the Black Woods, a snowy, pitch-black level of reality that "the Hecaitomix" has made its home.

Doom³ has moments throughout the game where the hero seems to see reality change from the already wrecked, lifeless base into a blood-streaked, skeleton-littered nightmare world, only for everything to snap back to normal a second later. And the "Resurrection of Evil" expansion has a Non-Player Character outright state that the Delta Labs area is phasing in and out of the Another Dimension, Hell, creating a more tangible Dark World where the two intersect. In fact, the penultimate level of Resurrection of Evil has you going through previously-visited areas as reality constantly shifts back and forth every couple of seconds.

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within has a variant of this trope. The twist is that (being a game about time travel) the Dark World is the present, your world, where you explore the Island of Time after some cataclysm befell it in the past. The castle lies in ruins, with trees and vegetation growing over crumbling architecture. If you find the time portals, you can travel to see the island and its castle in its former glory, some time far in the past. Certain areas are passable only in the past, or the present, requiring you to go back and forth between to make your way to the throne room. And then you learn that you are the cause of the catastrophe.

Jacob's Ladder seems to revolve around a character's frequent shifts from his ordinary life into a nightmarish dark world filled with demons. It eventually turns out that he's been Dead All Along, and both worlds represented his refusal to let go of his earthly cares and embrace the afterlife. This film unsurprisingly served as a primary inspiration for the Silent Hill series.

Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy, the setting of the game "World B" is a copy of "World A", the world of the original Final Fantasy, but is entirely desolate with different terrain and Mordor on the north-western continent.

Final Enter has a dark world called TAILS with sealed monsters inside it. It's the world that the protagonist wants to go to.

Ash vs. Evil Dead: People who are killed by the Kandarian dagger end up in a lifeless mirror version of our world with an unsettling Sickly Green Glow and inhabited only by some nondescript shadow monster that feeds on new arrivals. The physics don't make much sense either, like trying to go through a door that may open to the other side of town — and it constantly changes.

The New World of Darkness has a few of these: the Shadow Realm (an animistic reflection of Earth occupied by spirits), the Underworld (seldom glimpsed, but not a bright and cheery place), and the Hedge (the midpoint between Earth and Faerie, equally wondrous and dangerous).

In The Elder Scrolls Online, you visit an abridged version of Coldharbour, while in VIGILANT, a Game Mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you visit a part of Coldharbour that was depicted Truer to the Text.

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game, there is the Dark World archtype. All the monsters are Humanoid Abominations and the images on the Spell and Trap cards depict a hellish landscape with organic looking walls. Unusually for this trope however, according to the Master Guides, despite being mostly Dark-attribute fiends, they're actually pretty decent guys. They were hit with Adaptational Villainy in the anime however. In fact, them being decent guys is best exemplified in Zure, Knight of the Dark World's Flavor Text:

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom: The Depths, the vast subterranean regions where there's little light and where Gloom has drenched many places, technically exist in the same plane of existence as the Hyrule introduced in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, just way underneath it. But like the original Dark World, its geography mirrors the layout of Hyrule: bodies of water on the surface have monolithic rock structure counterparts in the Depths, surface canyons are subterranean mountains and vice versa, mines in the Depths are right under towns on the surface, Lightroot fast travel spots have Sdrawkcab Names of Shrines directly above them, and the entry method of diving into Chasms feels like a more involved version of entering the portals to the Dark World in A Link to the Past. It's even where Ganondorf was sealed away in the distant past.

the white chamber two main "dark world" sequences, complete with more terror than usual, Room Full of Crazy, and really, really weird reality warping. However, the "regular" station you go through most of the game in is also a dark world of sorts, you see what the station really is supposed to look like at the end.

Dark Nights: Metal introduces the Dark Multiverse to the cosmology of the DC Universe. It's a multiverse that runs entirely on Finagle's Law, where a Butterfly of Doom turned pivotal events to their worst possible outcome, twisting the hope and nobility of DC's heroes into monstrous nightmares. Each world in it is said to be the worst nightmare anyone had at any point in their life come true. The best people can hope for there is to be traumatically deformed into monstrous beings, incapable of becoming anything like they were ever again before their worlds are erased, or die. The worst outcomes turn heroes into monsters immeasurably worse than the villains they fight, who are motivated to seek out uncorrupted worlds to take over when theirs ends.

In Everyman HYBRID/Tribe Twelve (they crossover), there's a strange world called the "Candleverse" that Noah visits in the latter. It doesn't always make logical sense, has lots of weird color distortion going on, and oh yeah, HABIT lives there.
