A huge, spiny, tusked, toothed monstrosity faces the camera. Facing it and looking up from beneath is a small, top-hatted character with pointy ears. It's Baldur's Gate 3's demon butler looking upon the Slayer.

A screenshot of the legendary browser-based sprinting game QWOP. It's a game where the keyboard keys Q W O and P control individual thighs and calves. It's bastardly hard to coordinate your limbs and moving forward with purpose.

A screenshot from the visual novel-style game Vampire Therapist. In it, we see the upper body of a fairly typical looking cowboy - a rugged old white man with a large moustache, longish hair and a cowboy hat and waistcoat and shirt on. He - Sam - looks uncomfortable. Maybe it's because he's standing in a red-lit goth club.
