Deadly Premonition/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* Near the end of the game {{spoiler|after York kills George and goes to his house. You find some [[Chekhov's Gun|very familiar red tree saplings.]]}}. At that point, you find out that {{spoiler|[[The Reveal|Kaysen was]] [[The Man Behind the Man|behind the entire thing!]]}}! Oh, but [[It Got Worse|it gets worse.]] . {{spoiler|You might remember at this point that [[Oh Crap|Emily has disappeared and was with Kaysen last.]]. You race against time to try to save her, but when you arrive, it's already too late. Forrest used the redRed seedsSeeds and planted a sapling inside her, which has already hatched. She then stumbled towards York, begging him to kill her.}}. And the worst part of all? {{spoiler|You have to ''manually pull the damn trigger!'' That's right, you have to force York to [[Mercy Kill]] the woman that he loves.}}. No video game has ever made me cry, but that scene came dangerously close. For all of its [[Narm|cheesiness,]], [[Widget Series|quirkiness]], and [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made Onon Drugs?|general batshit insanity]], the game sure can throw a hell of a [[Player Punch]].

** No, the worst part is that after the game forces you to {{spoiler|pull the trigger, Zach ''still'' can't bring himself to do it.}}.

* Some people thought that {{spoiler|the Raincoat Killer level, with Amazing Grace}} was, in it's own way, poignant and sad.

* Thomas. Just... Thomas. {{spoiler|He's in love with George, who will never love him back, despite being willing to help him get away with ''murder''. It really, really doesn't help that York, the only other person he's attracted to as far as we know, has fallen in love with the ''same woman'' George has. Ouch. Thomas is absolutely crazy by the time you fight him, but it's hard not to feel sorry for the poor guy}}.
