'''Harvey''': Who cares? [[Pyromaniac|Let’s burn something!]]|''— The German cover''}}

 

Edna Konrad [[You Wake Up in a Room|wakes up in a padded room]]. She doesn’t remember how she got there — in fact, [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|she doesn’t remember much of anything]] — but she knows that she is being wrongfully imprisioned. After all, she is completely sane — a fact to which [[Consulting Mister Puppet|her talking rag doll rabbit]], [[Harvey]], can attest. Harvey has another remarkable ability: When he is shown things that remind him of Edna’s childhood, he can “tempomorph” her into the past — or rather, her recollection of the past — where she not only finds out about her life before the stay at the asylum, but also (re-)learns abilities that help her escape from the asylum.

 

 

 

* [[Adventure Game]]

* [[Air Vent Passageway]]

* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: You can use everything with everything and even talk to inanimate objects (besides Harvey). The only way to do something that doesn't result in a custom response is finding a bug that allows you to do something that wasn’t meant to be possible. The default responses aren’t even voiced because they weren’t meant to be triggered.

* [[Dialogue Tree]]

* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|The game has two endings. In one, Dr. Marcel, the head of the asylum, [[The Bad Guy Wins|succeeds with his evil plan to erase Edna’s personality and replace it with a new one]]. In the other, Edna kills Dr. Marcel, after which it is implied that she died escaping from the police. Fortunately, ''Harvey's New Eyes'' and its ending sadly confirm this. It also turns out that Dr. Marcel isn’t dead, after all.}}

* [[Dummied Out]]: See [http://tcrf.net/Edna_%26_Harvey:_The_Breakout here].

* [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]]

* [[Mind Screw]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]].

* [[Missing Mom]]: Edna doesn’t seem to have a mother, a fact that is important to the plot but never brought up or explained.

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: The game starts out as a light-hearted comedy about an eccentric girl trying to escape from an insane asylum and the oddball characters she meets there. Towards the end of the game, it suddenly gets a whole lot darker.

* [[Stripperiffic]]: During the entire game, excepting flashbacks, Edna wears only a hospital gown and a very tight-fitting pair of panties.

* [[Talking Is a Free Action]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Mr. Frock:

* [[Tomato in the Mirror]]: {{spoiler|After having escaped from the asylum, Edna tries to prove that her father did not kill Dr. Marcel’s son. And succeeds — by finding out that she did.}}

* [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia]]: While Edna’s amnesia is mostly [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|laser-guided]], one specific memory is suppressed due to a trauma.

* [[What Could Have Been]]: One flashback and accompanying ability were cut from the final game: The graffito of Dr. Marcel in the basement was originally meant to remind Harvey of the time Edna learned to moonwalk — from Michael Jackson himself (who, apparently, was a talented graffiti artist, hence the connection). This ability would have been used later to sneak to Bladder’s van. However, since there was no way ensure the player finds the hotspot, this may have rendered the game potentially [[Unwinnable]], so it was scrapped.

* [[Where Are They Now? Epilogue]]

* [[Widget Series]]: This is a Weird German Thing, after all.

* [[You Wake Up in a Room]]
