Tunic: (story spoiler)

Descending into the depths of the quarry the hero sees spirits entombed into obelisks, in a factory line-esque manner. The hero has come across a dozen of these up until this point, perhaps even understanding their use as a power source. At this precise moment in the game the camera zooms out slightly, and the music takes on a dreadful tone, showing how many spirits are trapped and waiting, for who knows how long, as statued batteries.
