''Ceville'' is a [[Point and Click|point-and-click]] adventure game by Realmforge Studios, set in a farcical, anachronistic fairytale land -- think ''[[Shrek]]'' meets ''[[King's Quest]]'', except the king is evil and cannot be killed off. As he tries to make his way out of this mess, Ceville makes an unlikely bond with sweet, moralistic street urchin Lilly, and both of them have to stop Ceville's even more evil minister Basilius from ascending to the throne.

=== ''Ceville'' contains examples of: ===
 
* [[Zero-Percent0% Approval Rating]] -- Ceville is proud of this, and is rather baffled that his subjects would object.
** "Of course I tyrranized them; I'm a tyrant."
* [[BFS]] -- Ambrosius's "+3 Sword of Demon Slaying". He can't even wield it.
Line 29:
* [[Fission Mailed]] -- Ceville's attempted escape from his palace.
* [[Gainax Ending]] -- [[The Stinger]] shows {{spoiler|Queen Gwendolyn's pet hamster grown into a giant, while Ceville and Lilly have become flat, "2.5-D" characters. There is no explanation at all.}}
** [[Fridge Brilliance]] -- {{spoiler|Basilius is defeated in his alchemical laboratory capable of making potions that can do almost anything. How could Ceville resist meddling with something like ''that?'' It's probable that he screwed up a potion or several. It's also likely the 2.5-D Ceville and Lilly are a [[Take That]] directed at [[Creator in In-Joke|someone in the company]] who thought the game would look better that way.}} Par for the course for the game's humor.
* [[Genie in a Bottle]].
* [[Good Is Dumb]] -- Lampshaded incessantly by Ceville:
Line 44:
* [[Look Behind You!]] -- Particularly egregious in {{spoiler|the soccer-match puzzle}}.
* [[Loony Fan]] -- Gwendolyn is obsessed with her hamster, having installed a hamster flap in her throne room, a clock that chimes when it's time for it to eat, and a ''giant gold statue of it'' behind her throne.
* [[Miles Gloriosus]]: Ambrosius will never stop talking about his brilliant mind, superhuman strength, incredible beauty, etc. With the possible exception of the [[Bishonen|beauty]], it's all lies.
* [[The Napoleon]] -- Ceville.
* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]] -- The pig-nosed secretary in Dwarves' Inc. Ltd.
