Bugman Games: Difference between revisions

The story begins with [[Geek|geeky student]] Thomas Kirkland mustering up the courage to ask out the rather popular and [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|seemingly nice]] [[Complete Monster|Melissa Cruz]]. She miraculously agrees, and the following Saturday Thomas travels to her house to pick her up. Little does he know that she has no intentions of letting him leave. Turns out, [[Prank Date|she only accepted his date request for more sinister purposes]]; brandishing a shrink ray, she shrinks Thomas and throw him inside of her closet with other captives. However, he is rescued by a rival faction of captives who also managed to escape from her closet and lives a rather hostile life within the house's walls. Their leader, the arrogant Bruce Black, promised a way out of the house and to freedom, but so far he has made no strides towards that goal.

 

 

Thomas must work with his comrades, and later Sayuko, to bring an end to Melissa's "games" and escape with their lives. The path to their goal will be filled with blood, sweat, and tears, but mostly blood.

* {{spoiler|[[Earn Your Happy Ending]]}}

* [[Fetish Fuel]] - As noted earlier in the article, this story is aimed more towards people into [[Incredible Shrinking Man|size]]-[[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|changing]] scenarios. There is also quite a bit of content for those into [[Foot Focus|feet]] (see below) and [[Gorn|snuff]].

* [[Flash Back]] - Several times over the course of the story (in order: Dawson, Claudia, Bruce, Sayuko, and Thomas). The flashbacks are also told from the viewpoint of the person narrating them.

* [[Foot Focus]] - In addition, both Dawson and Robbie have foot fetishes. Though Robbie's is more mild.

* [[Incredible Shrinking Man]]

* [[Infant Immortality]] - {{spoiler|In a show of mercy, Melissa can not bring herself to slaughter the newborn child of one of her prisoners, and instead takes it to an orphanage. The kicker? She DOES kill the mother, and lies to her that she did kill her child. The woman believes her, and dies thinking that she will see her child in the afterlife}}.

** Starting with Ray, {{spoiler|he, after one of the other captives gave birth to a child, told Melissa about it and caused the prisoner in question to be killed (though her child was placed in an adoption agency, unknown to the parent), and then laughed at the whole situation. He also led the rest of his group back into the waiting hands of Melissa, under the pretense that he was leading them to freedom, and was rewarded by being set free.}}

** In Bruce's case, {{spoiler|he self-appointed himself the leader of the Refugees, but despite promising to lead them to freedom, he actually has no plans to do such a thing. He spends most of his time in the basement of Melissa's house with her mother, who convinced her to not kill him, and is using her for both sex and potential freedom. He is also prejudiced against Asians, which led to Sayuko's brother Taro not being rescued when Melissa captured him and Sayuko becoming involved with Melissa.}}

* [[Scary Black Man]] - Bruce

* [[Sequel Hook]]

** The very final scene (and perhaps the scene before it) of the story is a reference to the cliffhanger ending of ''[[Fire Emblem Elibe|Fire Emblem [Blazing Sword]]]''.

* [[Shrinking Violet]] - Sayuko is a shy young woman, and has been that way for her entire life.

* [[Slobs Versus Snobs]] - Respectively, the Homeless and the Refugees. The Refugees are people who were lured to Melissa's house and shrunken; they are mostly young adults and mostly male, and they managed to escape from Melissa's closet and live inside of her house's walls ({{spoiler|for a while}}), hence their name. The Homeless are [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|exactly what they sound like]]; they were captured directly from the streets under the cloak of night. The Refugees managed to escape from Melissa's closet and create some sort of interconnected network within Melissa's walls, while the Homeless were left trapped inside of the closet. The Refugees look down upon the Homeless, while the Homeless despise the Refugees' arrogance.

* [[Spin-Off]] - The story ''Hell Manor''; its events are alluded to in the epilogue of ''Bugman Games''.

* [[The Stool Pigeon]] - {{spoiler|Ray, who tells Melissa about the Refugees and then leads them right into Melissa's waiting hands, doing so by playing on their strong desire of escaping}}.

* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]] - Gloria.
