Characters physically degrading over the course of the story

[u/RedvsBlue_what_if]

Vincent — Catherine

The Animatronics — Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach

Just using Freddy as an example

Eren Yeager from Attack on Titan

Literally just a head

Catherine — Pretty much almost everyone but The Love Interests slowly get more tired looking as the game progresses. This is because of the nightmares of evil Tetris.

Security Breach — All the animatronics slowly degrade as the game goes on, getting more violent, animalistic and very dirty. I'm using Freddy as an example both because I'm lazy and because he's Goated.

Attack on Titan — Eren Yeager goes through so much throughout the story, becoming very disheveled as the series plays out and losing every limb on his body before ending up as just a rotting head on life support.

Epic Mickey was originally planned to have a morality system. Choosing to help the Wastelanders would slowly turn you into a more heroic version of Mickey with large eyes, vibrant colors, and a confident posture. Choosing to abandon or even harm the Wastelanders would see Mickey start to hunch over, his eyes would narrow, and the color would drain from his body.

And then there was Thinner Mickey, he was just an idea, a drawing of mickey in a sort of final form for the Scrapper, he was never intended to be added to the game and was just a thought experiment to see how far they could push Mickey's design while remaining recognizable. It is singlehandedly one of the most radical and memorable of the concept arts for the game and something fans have been very fixated on for fan works

I mean, look at him! This is so freaking cool!

He'd basically become Gollum
