The characters are locked in a strange room, have no idea how they got there, why they're there, or how to get out, nor do they know exactly who is behind their predicament, if anyone. The main thrust of such stories is the investigation of the restricted environment in which the characters find themselves, with the goal of mastering it, revealing its secrets, and eventually escaping. Often those approaching the truth are sharply yanked back. The genre is usually a metaphor for the unknowns and Big Questions of Real Life: what is my purpose, why are we here, what can be done to solve the unsolvable? May overlap with Small, Secluded World, World Limited to the Plot, Alternate Universe, Planet of Hats, Adventure Towns or Lotus-Eater Machine. Almost always employs Failure Is the Only Option and a veritable swarm of Schrodinger's Butterflies to obfuscate issues. There's usually a Straw Nihilist in the cast saying it's all pointless. See also the Quest for Identity, where the main character doesn't even know who he is. A subtrope of the Driving Question. The simpler versions are You Wake Up in a Room. Often spawns an Escape from the Crazy Place. Some are examples of Beautiful Void. Some fans may want the various mysteries to be Left Hanging. See also Send in the Search Team, when the characters do know how they got there, and now they need to find out what happened. May have an Amnesiac Hero. Compare Epiphanic Prison. Contrast Eerily Out-of-Place Object, for non-personal ontological mysteries. The Journal Roleplay community calls this a "spooky jamjar". |

In Zero Time Dilemma, the last game of the trilogy, you wake up imprisoned in another underground facility, and are forced to play yet another deadly game. However, this game takes place before VLR chronologically, and the setup suggests that only three people can escape alive. Yet four of the participants in this game appear in VLR, and a fifth is confirmed to survive by Word of God. How this is possible is one of the most salient plot questions. Also, while most of the characters do know how they got to the facility this time, some of the details aren't revealed to the player until much later, and (as in the previous installments) there's one character who has no prior memories at all. | |

Kaede Akamatsu, a hopelessly average female student who doesn't have a rich family, or a talent of any class, exits and falls out of a locker, finding herself in an awkward classroom she doesn't recognise. Shuichi Saihara falls out of the locker next to her with as much confusion and as little specialty as she does. When leaving the area, they encounter a series of Exisals that lure then into the gym, where they find 14 other normal people, making up 16, the number Rantaro makes a point about. The Exisals that chased the duo into the gym are revealed to be Monokmua Cub units. They proceed to give the students outfits so they're less normal, and give them their "first memory". A light is shone on the cast and their memories are returned to them, Kaede and Shuichi returning to the lockers. Both of them introduce themselves to the rest of the students, and are ordered to visit the gym again by the Monokuma Cubs, where Monokuma announces the Killing Game. | |

Obduction, a spiritual successor and also made by Cyan, has a pretty clear entry: you're teleported to a piece of Arizona on an alien world. Thing is, there's nobody around, and you're on a piece of Arizona on an alien world. Why you've been teleported here and where everyone else is drives the rest of it... and the local cantankerous old man doesn't offer all the details. | |

At the start of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Link wakes up in a strange cave called the Shrine of Resurrection with no knowledge of who he is, how he got there, or why he's being guided to specific locations. While you eventually get a chunk of exposition at the end of the tutorial section explaining the basic gist of the backstory and Link's role, there are still lots of recoverable memories, old diaries, and NPC interactions that give you a much more complete picture of what happened. | |

Log Horizon is a more direct instance of this trope as unlike other 'trapped in an MMORPG' series's, the Elder Tale game didn't use any kind of special VR-Interface (just a standard keyboard/mouse/microphone setup), leaving the characters at a loss as to how they got transported into the game at all, or how they might get home. | |

Out of all of them Bloodborne plays this the most straight, since it has no such expository cutscene. It simply begins with your character receiving an injection of mysterious blood and then waking up some time later to find the clinic abandoned and city overrun with beasts and mad hunters, with no immediate explanation of how things got that way. You'll have to rely on the Story Breadcrumbs to find out. | |

WandaVision: Wanda and Vision find themselves living in Westview, an idyllic sitcom world, a Stepford Suburbia. However, unlike most examples, it doesn't appear that either Wanda or Vision want to know how they got there or how to get out, being perfectly content to live (semi-)normal lives as part of a sitcom world. However, reality seems to be encroaching, showing that people outside of Westview want to know what's happening. | |

The Outer Limits (1963) offers two examples. "Demon With a Glass Hand" opens with Amnesiac Hero Trent wandering through a city while fending off attackers. He reflect on his predicament in an Internal Monologue. In "The Probe", a group of plane crash survivors find themselves in a mysterious closed environment full of lab equipment, stalked by a grotesque monster, with no idea how they got there or how to get out. It turns out that they were brought aboard an alien space probe, the monster is a huge, mutated microbe, and they're released when they manage to communicate with the aliens. |

In the world of Hybrid Theory, there is a myth of Susano-o and Orochi. The fact that there are now at least three Orochis running around, each clearly the inspiration for the original myth which contained only one Orochi, means something has gone horribly wrong somewhere... Only Aaron has heard the voice of the one who set everything in motion, Chris being too dead at the time. There are many educated guesses, but no-one really has a clue as to what is going on. The lack of a cohesive universal backstory is bad enough on Earth where most of the societies appear 'normal' until their stories really get rolling. Washuu wakes up to find that the galaxy she's traveled end to end as a citizen of the peaceful Jurai Empire is now half-full of planets that have always been under the cruel thumb of warmongering Sailor Galaxia. | |

No one knows where the Titans came from, or even how the Walls that protect them were constructed — the cult that worships them claims they were a divine gift. Information on the outside world is strictly controlled by the government, and people with interest in exploring outside the Walls are labeled as heretics. Oh, and there are Titans in the freaking Walls, too. Which is a hint as to this whole business, but still... |

The SCP Foundation has the rewritten file for SCP-031. When checking the database, a researcher found that, unknown to her or her predecessors, the Ryugyong Hotel was not only hosting SCP-031, but also SCP-1427. Wondering if the Koreans were using the hotel as a detention facility, it soon transpired that any team sent in would only see evidence of the anomaly they were looking for, and absolutely no trace of the other, including other investigation teams. The Korean branch of the Foundation had no idea either SCP was being kept at the hotel, and they couldn't find traces of either SCP or either team. Just as soon as the researcher begins pushing for an explanation, she unceremoniously leaves her post due to health problems. | |

Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke, starts with the title character, an Amnesiac Hero, living — essentially trapped — in a gigantic, possibly infinite, house full of huge statues and only one other living person. References and small items suggest a connection to our world; Piranesi gradually discovers the truth, as best he can. | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): In "Five Characters in Search of an Exit", an Army major, a ballerina, a hobo, a clown, and a bagpiper wake up in a cylindrical grey room, with no memory of their lives before that moment, and a deafeningly loud, gonglike noise occasionally makes the room shake wildly. All make guesses about where they are and why. Limbo, a dream, space, and hell itself are mentioned. Where and what they are is revealed -and turns out to be entirely unexpected. | |

The Rollerskater chapter "Insider" opens with two characters, who resemble two members of the main Ensemble Cast, waking up in a strange white room with no memory of who they were before that moment. The instalment then goes on to explain how they came to be in that situation: Their physical bodies were separated from their souls, and given that their bodies only have cognizance of the present moment, they are effectively different people. | |

The Promised Neverland starts in a peaceful orphanage that the children are only allowed to leave when they are sent to their "foster family" — i.e sent to be killed and eaten by monsters. The protagonists learn the truth about what their orphanage really is and they do have access to books and scientific knowledge, but they have no idea what those demons are, what happened to humanity, or what awaits them if they manage to escape. | |

The Castle. A surveyor is summoned to the town surrounding a tremendous castle of Obstructive Bureaucrats, and nobody is sure why; the protagonist thinks he knows who he needs to talk to so he can find out, but first he has to get an appointment with the undersecretary and convince him to give him an appointment with the regular secretary... and so on. He is inexplicably appointed two childish assistants that mostly just make fun of him. The book was never finished, so it's not clear if there ever was an ending. | |

Right after he enters the facility, his consciousness begins to warp into something incomprehensible. As soon as he returns from his light state of catatonia, he finds himself in a classroom that he doesn't know if it's truly inside the academy he just entered, or if it's a different classroom. After visiting the entrance of the academy and finding the Ultimate students residing there, Monokuma summons them all to the gymnasium. By Monokuma's announcement, he follows suit, and after reaching the intended area, Monokuma announces the Killing Game concept. | |

The Legend of Zelda: In The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, if you press the islanders on how they arrived on the island or the outside world, they're unable to respond and get migraines. The beginning of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask: Link is sent into a parallel world after being transformed into a Deku Shrub and finds himself in the middle of a strange town, unable to escape because there are guards in every exit blocking his path. He needs to find out exactly where he is, what is going on and how to return to normal in three in-game days' time before the world ends. Afterwards, the game plays like a regular Zelda game. At the start of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Link wakes up in a strange cave called the Shrine of Resurrection with no knowledge of who he is, how he got there, or why he's being guided to specific locations. While you eventually get a chunk of exposition at the end of the tutorial section explaining the basic gist of the backstory and Link's role, there are still lots of recoverable memories, old diaries, and NPC interactions that give you a much more complete picture of what happened. |

The subjects range in age from single digits to near-centenarian, and not one of them knows how they got where they are. They quickly figure out the premise, however — not only must one of their number die every 120 seconds, but they are the ones who determine who gets whacked next. Zany — err, paranoid hijinks ensue. | |

The characters in Beyond the Walls know how they got into the House, but that's about it. Julien has a vague idea about finding a red door to be able to leave, but he has been in there for the better part of a century, without much progress, despite mapping the place. As it turns out, the only way to leave is a rather difficult combination of interpretation of scripture, having a very specific epiphany and the balls to journey into the deepest bowels of the house, where the zombie-like inhabitants crawl around in the hundreds. | |

She later finds out that she is and has for an unknown amount of time been trapped in a creative method of punishment for crimes she committed before having her memory repeatedly wiped, with members of the public being invited to watch her be tortured and then paraded through the streets every day. The series' Christmas special starts with two men in an isolated outpost and one of them has no idea how he got there... |

Each main game in the Danganronpa series focuses on a group of elite high school students who wake up trapped in a Closed Circle (in the first game, it's a school; in the second game, it's a cluster of deserted islands). Though much of the plot centers around solving murder mysteries as a result of the killing game they've all been unwillingly recruited into, the students (especially the Player Character) are simultaneously striving to learn about their surroundings, unmask the mastermind and find alternate ways to escape. | |

Danganronpa: Makoto Naegi, the devoted, optimistic teenager of a secretive, unbiased wit, is invited by a lottery to Hope's Peak Academy, labelled as the "Ultimate Lucky Student". Right after he enters the facility, his consciousness begins to warp into something incomprehensible. As soon as he returns from his light state of catatonia, he finds himself in a classroom that he doesn't know if it's truly inside the academy he just entered, or if it's a different classroom. After visiting the entrance of the academy and finding the Ultimate students residing there, Monokuma summons them all to the gymnasium. By Monokuma's announcement, he follows suit, and after reaching the intended area, Monokuma announces the Killing Game concept. Hajime Hinata, someone who admires Hope's Peak Academy in a similar vain to Makoto, transitions from outside the entrance to the academy by randomly having his consciousness fizzle between where he currently is to an isolated door that leads him into a locked classroom containing students presumed to be from the academy. Usami, their teacher, bounces up from behind the pedestal, lifts down the classroom walls and announces the field trip. Confused, Hajime goes catatonic and is woken up by Nagito, who expositions everything and introduces the cast to Hajime. Usami then summons everyone to the beach for a gift and an opportunity fror all to swim with one another. Monokuma's sudden appearance interrupts everyone, and he demands them to go to the centre island, where he announces the Killing Game and usurps Usami's role, renaming her "Monomi" and then executing her with a Monobeast unit. Kaede Akamatsu, a hopelessly average female student who doesn't have a rich family, or a talent of any class, exits and falls out of a locker, finding herself in an awkward classroom she doesn't recognise. Shuichi Saihara falls out of the locker next to her with as much confusion and as little specialty as she does. When leaving the area, they encounter a series of Exisals that lure then into the gym, where they find 14 other normal people, making up 16, the number Rantaro makes a point about. The Exisals that chased the duo into the gym are revealed to be Monokmua Cub units. They proceed to give the students outfits so they're less normal, and give them their "first memory". A light is shone on the cast and their memories are returned to them, Kaede and Shuichi returning to the lockers. Both of them introduce themselves to the rest of the students, and are ordered to visit the gym again by the Monokuma Cubs, where Monokuma announces the Killing Game. |

In Ashes to Ashes (2008) (the sequel to Life on Mars, below), modern-day detective Alex Drake is transported to a strange new 1981 world when she is shot. Using her psychological training, she must examine if she is in her own mind, undergone time travel, etc. in order to return to her daughter back home.note The writers knew what the world was from the start, so the ending didn't fall into a Lost trap of not being able to tie up loose ends. Clues are even in Life on Mars. The mystery is examined from every angle. | |

Zero Escape: In Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors, you wake up in a 3rd class cabin of a flooding ship (a recreation of a flooding ship, anyway), and must escape in under 9 hours (through a mysterious "Nonary Game"), after which the floodgates will reopen and the ship will do its submarine impression. The same goes for the sequel, Virtue's Last Reward. You wake up in a mysterious facility in a base on the moon, and are forced to play the "Nonary Game: Ambidex Edition" in order to escape. In Zero Time Dilemma, the last game of the trilogy, you wake up imprisoned in another underground facility, and are forced to play yet another deadly game. However, this game takes place before VLR chronologically, and the setup suggests that only three people can escape alive. Yet four of the participants in this game appear in VLR, and a fifth is confirmed to survive by Word of God. How this is possible is one of the most salient plot questions. Also, while most of the characters do know how they got to the facility this time, some of the details aren't revealed to the player until much later, and (as in the previous installments) there's one character who has no prior memories at all. |

In Gosick, Kazuya and Victorique end up on a ship that's pretty mysterious. Although they DO know how they got there (from a ticket given to a dead woman they didn't want to let go to waste) in flashback scenes the original children sent to the ship 20 years earlier was very much an Ontological Mystery. For Victorique it's solving the mystery again in order to survive. | |

The mystery plot of season two of Drawtectives is kicked off by all three player characters waking up on a strange train flying through space with no memory of how they got on or why. They still retain their memories of life before, just not the immediate time before boarding. The other passenger in the car, later dubbed Eugene, is not so lucky; he has no memories of his life before the train car, including what his name was, and barely remembers certain basic concepts like what the moon is. | |

Venturing outside, the Doctor and his companions find themselves in a nightmare of impossible happenings and literary characters come to life. "Bad Wolf", where the Doctor, Rose and Jack all wake up in Deadly Game Shows with no idea who brought them or why. "Amy's Choice". The Doctor, Amy and Rory find themselves being transported between two realities, forced by the Dream Lord to choose which is real and which is a dream. When the Doctor realizes that the Dream Lord is a manifestation of his own dark side and can manipulate events in both worlds, he correctly concludes that both scenarios are dreams. "The God Complex" with a nightmarish hotel that has a room for everyone and no apparent exit. The Doctor even lampshades it. "Time Heist" begins with the Doctor answering the phone and then suddenly he, Clara, and two people they have never met before are in the most impregnable bank in the galaxy, having agreed to rob it on behalf of a mysterious benefactor, recorded a message to themselves explaining that they have accepted this mission, and then erased their own memories of doing so. Half the episode is them carrying out the heist, the other half is trying to figure out who orchestrated this whole thing and how they seem to have infiltrated the bank already yet still need help robbing it. "Heaven Sent" has the Doctor be transmatted by unknown parties to an enormous castle, deserted except for a Grim Reaper-like monster. |

The Fountain portrays Real Life as an ontological trap that can only be escaped through death. The Protagonist refuses to accept this and, having eaten from the bark of the mythical tree of life at the fountain of youth, becomes doomed to outlive the rest of humanity because he's trapped in a spaceship on the edge of a dying star. | |

Both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel did this in one episode each: "Tabula Rasa" for Buffy and "Spin the Bottle" for Angel. In both cases, a spell intended to affect memories went wrong and resulted in the entire main cast losing their memories. In "Tabula Rasa", they got complete Identity Amnesia. In "Spin the Bottle", they got Identity Amnesia removing all memories since their teenage years. In both cases, there were many logical but amusingly wrong deductions made about what was going on before they managed to undo the spell. "Spin the Bottle" is particularly hilarious given that the dour, contemplative Angel was once the hard-drinking thug Liam. Oh, and he doesn't remember he's a vampire. | |

Stargate Atlantis: "Tabula Rasa" begins with a confused, amnesiac Rodney McKay coming to in his lab to discover he's tied to the table he's sitting at, with a tablet in front of him displaying a picture of Teyla and the message "FIND THIS WOMAN". When he gets out of the lab, he discovers a situation where Atlantis' military personnel, led by Major Lorne, are rounding up the civilians, with repeated escapes. The fact that everyone seems to be having memory problems only makes McKay's quest to try and figure out what is going on that much harder. | |

Myst. Interestingly, the first game has the 'who am I and where I am' set up but the the rest of the series does not because the player is expected to retain this knowledge from the first game, or get the crib notes of it. The exception is Myst V: End of Ages. Obduction, a spiritual successor and also made by Cyan, has a pretty clear entry: you're teleported to a piece of Arizona on an alien world. Thing is, there's nobody around, and you're on a piece of Arizona on an alien world. Why you've been teleported here and where everyone else is drives the rest of it... and the local cantankerous old man doesn't offer all the details. |

System Shock and the sequel, System Shock 2, both begin this way. In the first game, you awaken from a coma aboard Citadel Station. In the latter game, you are brought out of cryo aboard the starship Von Braun. While you are initially left to piece together clues in the first game, the second game starts you off with being in contact with Mission Control from the word go. Of course, you don't know who is actually on the other end of the radio, and she's not telling you everything. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Remember Me", the crew of the Enterprise is disappearing one by one, with no one but Beverly Crusher remembering that they ever existed. She has to figure out what's happening to them and whether she's even on the real Enterprise. In "Clues", the Enterprise crew is revived by Data after having been rendered unconscious by a Negative Space Wedgie. It quickly becomes apparent that they were unconscious much longer than they had thought, that Worf has somehow sustained a major injury, ship's records have been tampered with, and that Data is desperately trying to cover up whatever happened during the lost time. In "Conundrum", the characters' memories are erased and they are left with no contact with the outside world. They need to figure out the purpose of the ship, their roles on it, and the validity of their apparent mission to destroy a planet. Their only initial clues are their positions on the bridge and the design of the ship. |
