Edna Konrad [[You Wake Up in
This is the basic premise of ''Edna & Harvey: The Breakout'' (''Edna bricht aus'' in the original German release), a 2008 low-budget [[Adventure Game]] (though it didn’t come out in the US and UK until 2011) that started life as a dissertation on the topic ''The Computer Game as a Non-Linear Narrative Form''. Despite its 2D graphics and classic verb interface, it turned out to be a huge hit and won many awards.
Line 27:
** To name a few…
*** It’s particularly sad that some other translations (like French and Italian) are based on the flawed English one rather than the German original.
* [[Brain In
* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Happens occasionally.
* [[Brick Joke]]: The epilogue to one of the endings explains that, after breaking out, Hoti became a bank robber who turned himself in after accidentally shooting a bank teller. The epilogue of the other ending says that Moti returned to the asylum and was released shortly after because he no longer suffered from the delusion of being Hoti’s siamese twin. He accepted a job as a bank teller and was shot on his second day.
Line 73:
* [[Talking Is a Free Action]]: [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by Mr. Frock:
{{quote| ''“I have the […] feeling that time has slowed down while we were talking.”''}}
* [[Tomato in
* [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia]]: While Edna’s amnesia is mostly [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|laser-guided]], one specific memory is suppressed due to a trauma.
* [[Twist Ending]]
Line 81:
* [[Where the Hell Is Springfield?]]: Looking at a globe, Edna asks Harvey what country they live in, which is a very good question considering that it is [[You Fail Law Forever|a German-speaking country in which the death penalty is legal]].
* [[Widget Series]]: This is a Weird German Thing, after all.
* [[You Wake Up in
