This is a container group; its children are:
| Bleak | Presents a bleak world for the player to explore, one that seems sad, hopeless, depressing, or otherwise where things are or go wrong all the time and getting them right is nigh impossible or come with heavy price. | 1992 / 2018 | 108 games |
| Desolate | Player hardly meets anyone, people or animals. (too short) | 1995 / 2022 | 30 games |
| Dystopian | Gives an image of society gone bad. Literally the opposite of what utopia would be. (too short) | 1982 / 2024 | 159 games |
| Jovial | Uses an excessively happy, merry, cheerful, or such tone. Characters are likely to be smiling almost always, and the general tone/mood might be similar to a funfair. | 1987 / 2020 | 23 games |
