Lunacy (video game)

""I don't ever want to know what it's like to be alone.""

- Blackie, basically stating most of the conflict that doesn't involve saving the world.

An RPG currently in production by Ammika Channing, the writer of APT Comic.

When a young boy wakes up in a forest, something probably happened. When he's greeted by another boy with bat wings that seems to exist only in his mind, something WEIRD probably happened. Meet Blackie and Eclipse, the protagonists, as one tries to figure out what happened before he woke up there and the other decides to be as unhelpful as possible about it. For his own good, obviously. There's adventure, Fantastic Racism, conspiracies, and PANDAS!

Might be some unmarked spoilers ahead!

The world in general

 * Ghibli Hills: The area you wake up, Fauna Forest, with the creatures within referred to by Eclipse as "Our neighbors, the funny flying Furbies."
 * The funny flying Furbies, aka QuamQuams, also count as Ridiculously Cute Critters. And they serve the purpose of the Training Dummy.
 * Going Through the Motions: One set for each outfit you can get.
 * All Those Side Quests: All of the outfits that you don't get over the main plot. Those are just New Clothes As The Plot Demands.
 * Bilingual Bonus: Ammika Has a habit of naming enemies by putting a defining character trait into Google Translate for English>Latin, and just using that.

The protagonists, Blackie and Eclipse

 * Added Alliterative Appeal, Incredibly Lame Pun: Eclipse loves this stuff. See the "funny flying Furbies" above.
 * As with everything else, many lampshades are hung when Eclipse comments that he managed to get As with every other thing, Blackie's lack of perception through the fourth wall leaves him confused.
 * Pink Means Feminine. Hi there, Blackie.
 * Red Oni Blue Oni: Blackie has pink- err, light red hair. Charish has light blue. have personalities to match.
 * You Gotta Have Blue Hair: Hair colors range from pink and purple to dirty blond and brown. Apparently, are more likely to have "bright" color schemes, but it's not a sure sign.
 * Demons also always have jet black hair with bangs the inverse of their host. As in, if you hit "invert" in MS Paint. Don't ask.

The rest of the characters

 * Murder the Hypotenuse: For the time, Eclipse mentions he's getting jealous and so's his "Big F'ing Club". He was kidding, but it sure nuked that subplot before it could even start.
 * What Do You Mean Its for Kids: "Why are there weapons right next to the toys?"

Other

 * Shout Out: "Uhh, I'm selling these fine leather jackets?"
 * The writer obviously loves Monkey Island, considering
 * Wham Line: Other than the page quote, we have this; "You know, is unhealthy and pretty stupid." "So's trying to save the world when you're just a little kid."
 * Every time Blackie looks angry, someone's about to get called out. Half of these probably count as in-universe Wham Lines.
