I Am a Humanitarian: One of the notes you'll find recounts a soldier mentioning he saw enemy soldiers eating the corpse of a woman. You later find a headless, armless corpse with forks in it, which turns out to be a preview of the thing that spends the entire game chasing you (when you leave the corpse, you'll heard a slithering sound behind you, and if you go back you'll find it has vanished and left a trail of blood leading up a wall and into the section of the trenches through which it'll hunt you later). According to a document lying next to the damn thing, the monster used to be a ''nurse''.

Ambiguous Situation
 Trenches (2021) (Video Game) / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: It's unclear whether the monster chasing you is real or exists solely in your head. On the one hand, it's definitely a threat as it can and will kill you if it ever gets its mitts on you. On the other hand, there's no mention of the creature at all at the end of the game, indicating the soldier may have been hallucinating it the entire time. It's also unclear whether the events are happening in the trenches in 1917, or in the protagonist's head in 1918/1919 as he kills his family and then himself. Much of the imagery you encounter is very on-the-nose suggesting the latter, but if you die to the monster the ending says that the protagonist died in the trenches and his body was found after a few weeks, which would indicate the former.

Checkpoint Starvation: The game only has a single checkpoint, which saves near the beginning and is only to let you skip the story-only 5-10 minute intro trench if you die. You have to find all 9 dolls in one go to beat the game.

Invincible Boogeymen: The monster can't be killed, even by emptying all 5 rounds from your pistol into it, and it wanders the trenches relentlessly searching for you.

Downer Ending: If the soldier successfully escapes the trenches and makes it back home alive, what happened to him in the trenches will linger with him and in a couple years he'll shoot his two children, chop off his pregnant wife's arms and head, then shoot himself.

Free-Sample Plot Coupon: The first doll is found at the very beginning of the maze of trenches, and the monster doesn't appear until you find and pick up the second doll. As a result you only have to find 7 dolls while being hunted by the monster.

comment
Hell Is That Noise: The monster chasing you throughout the trenches gives out demonic, warped noises if it's near you. It can even speak in the voices of your loved ones, as one of the messages written on the walls indicates. Sure enough, if it lingers around you while you're in a hiding spot, it'll speak in a child's voice begging you for help.

 Trenches (2021) (Video Game) / int_62259825
comment
Nintendo Hard: The game is very difficult, as you have to navigate a very sprawling and disjointed maze of trenches while being hunted by a highly aggressive and aware monster. The randomly generated dolls you're trying to find can be very hard to locate, and the fact you have to start all over again whenever you get killed can be very frustrating. Additionally, your position is realistically not specifically marked on the map, so you need to figure out where you are based on the general shape of the maze areas you've traveled.

Sanity Slippage
 Trenches (2021) (Video Game) / int_62434fe2
comment
Sanity Slippage: Between the hellish nightmare of World War I and whatever the hell is chasing you in the trenches, suffice to say the soldier does not go through the ordeal mentally intact, often hallucinating a woman screaming as she rushes past you, a disembodied voice saying its right next to you, and at one point your vision turning red and seeing the hallway littered with corpses. Unfortunately, returning home alive does nothing to help you as the soldier commits murder-suicide, killing his children, wife, their unborn child, and finally himself.

Guide Dang It!: Once you enter the maze proper, the map, pistol, and wirecutters are all very close to the starting position, but you'd need to know where they were from prior experience to actually choose the correct path to get them.

Luck-Based Mission: The game is this due to the random spawning of the dolls. All of them can spawn on opposite sides of the map from each other when you pick them up, making the game incredibly difficult, or several can spawn close to each other, letting you progress much more quickly.

Immune to Bullets: You can find a Luger pistol that a soldier used to commit suicide. It has 5 rounds left in it, and can be used as a weapon. It can't kill the monster, but being shot will slow it down slightly for a short time, giving you a better chance at running away.
