This trope is for cases when certain video games retitle basic menu (usually Start Screen) functions like "New Game", "Continue" or "Quit/Exit". It can be done to improve their atmosphere by making them fit the game's setting or just make them more hilarious. However, it's possible to make them confusing for new players if the names are weird enough. Related to Idiosyncratic Difficulty Levels and Call a Hit Point a "Smeerp". Compare Dialogue Tree. |

Half-Life Game Mods The Half-Quake series goes to town with the sadistic theming of their menus. For starters, the usual "New Game" is retitled Die in this series. It even applies custom labels for stuff like graphics and control options sections, which are titled "eyes" and "fingers" respectively. Half-Life: Echoes applies this to its own menus, in accordance with its Framing Device of the game being one of the G-Man's candidate evaluations. The typical Half-Life menu options are relabelled as "Resume Observation" (Resume Game), "Begin Observation" (New Game), "Retrieve Data" (Load Game), "Archive Data" (Save Game), "Alter Parameters" (Options), and "Terminate Session" (Quit). This extends to the difficulty selection screen, which states "Select criteria for evaluation" and presents the options of "Relaxed" (Easy), "Conventional" (Normal) and "Stringent" (Hard). |

Max Payne uses a variant on the "Are you sure you want to quit?" prompt. If the player quits the game, the game will display a quote from Max reflecting on his current situation (e.g. "The Valkyr case was anything but closed."), below which the player selects either "But I was too tired to go on" or "I couldn't stop. I had to push on." | |

Limbo of the Lost keeps the Start Screen labels normal (Credits, Start, Load and Quit) and instead applies this trope to its pause screen with "Back To Hell" (resume game), "Resurrection" (load game), "Save Your Soul" (save game) and "End is Nigh" (quit). When the pause menu is accessed during the times saving the game is disabled, the "Save Your Soul" instead becomes "Repent Sinner, Your Soul Cannot Be Saved". |

There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension has its "Start" button as "No Game Here", the "Options" button as "Useless Options", and the "Quit" button as "This Way!", with flashing red arrows pointing to it, as the apparent non-game does not want the player to play it. Naturally, taking the bait nets the player an achievement. | |

The main menu buttons in Time Fcuk all have footnotes that are tangentially related to the theme of the game, but become more and more nonsensical the further you read. The buttons are START*taking action by finding flaws in yourself. then finding excuses not to fix them and laying down because you worked so hard, and hey, lets face it, life has no point., CREATE*a state of being you no longer have any control over / an ego driven divide between your past and current existence, EXPLORE*the feeling of abandonment when you no longer acknowledge yourself when you run into yourself on the street., and ENTER*at your own risk THE*definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results... UNKNOWN*quantities of carrot juice may lead to the ability to see the alien that lives behind your bedroom door. | |

BUTCHER doesn't reinvent the menu labels, but it does spice up the prompt that pops up when you want to (re)start (over) the game in a profile that already has a save file in progress (or deleting the save profile), the choices being titled as: No, I Want To Continue/No, Don't Delete It (cancellation) Yes, Fuck This Shit (confirmation) |

The disc menu for The Simpsons game Virtual Springfield has pictures of Homer Simpson with a doughnut next to the menu options, with Homer preparing to eat a doughnut as the picture for "Install", and Homer spitting a doughnut out for "Uninstall". It also has Homer playing bowling ball for "Play" and looking at the clock for "Quit". | |

Starting from the third mainline instalment, plenty of Ultima games use "Journey Onward" to label either the new game or continue game options. This goes to the spinoffs like the Ultima Underworld games as well. | |
