Mine is when 85% of a horror game's voice lines are the protagonist going SHIT or FUCK slightly under their breath every time something mildly spooky or intimidating happens, or when they discover some new obstacle

    this is strictly in voiced Japanese games, and featured in almost every voiced line in the FF7 Remake: a short, sudden, high pitched reaction gasp after another character speaks. There isn't a word for this in English - idk if there is one in Japanese - but almost every line of dialogue in FF7 Remake features this staccato gasp at the beginning . "Huh" "Ah" "Hep" "Hwa" "Uoh". It seems to communicate "I didn't expect that," but also characters never seem to expect anything.
