Toy Story - Living toys who formed some kind of societal structure.


Dead Rising  - Set inside a multi-use commerce complex where survivors of an incident are needing to use what was left to survive, while there are also big boss fights with mentally unstable monsters who used to be regular people.


Neon Genesis Evangelion – (spoilers) >!An organization that somehow has the funds to have massive underground facilities for doing unethical experiments involving children who lack families with the goal of having control over useful monsters, one of them being the child of the person in charge. The monsters end up rebelling against their captors and killing everyone.

I'll admit, I wrote these games off years ago as being yet another cookie cutter "what if kid things were scary" but it has some interesting stuff going on. 


I dug through lore on the wiki and this is my understanding of the plot/lore, how accurate am I?
