Line 1: {{trope}} '''Basic Trope''': A [[Nonstandard Game Over]] which shows the unfortunate consequences of the player's loss. * '''Straight''': [[The Hero]] [[Knight in Shining Armor\|Kelvin]] is trying to protect his [[Love Interest\|beloved]] [[An Ice Person\|Princ]][[Glass Cannon\|ess]] [[Kuudere\|Vel]][[Too Clever Byby Half\|vet]] from [[The Empire\|all]] [[Deadly Decadent Court\|that]] [[The Evil Prince\|threaten]] [[Murder, Inc.\|her]]. If he fails, her fate is shown, whether she's [[Fallen Princess\|driven into exile]], [[I Have You Now, My Pretty\|forced into marriage]], [[Killed Off for Real\|murdered]], [[Fate Worse Than Death\|or worse]]. * '''Exaggerated''': No matter how Kelvin fails -- whether at the blade of a random [[Mook]], a spellcaster's magic, a monster's fangs/claws/what-have-you, or even [[What the Hell, Player?\|killing Velvet during an]] [[Escort Mission]] -- there's a corresponding [[Game Over]] sequence showing the fallout. Not just Velvet's fate, but the fate of various [[NPC\|NPCs]] who were counting on him... * '''Justified''': The game developers want the players to see the consequences of their actions. * '''Inverted''': The [[Game Over]] screen shows Kelvin frolicking happily in heaven, apparently glad he died. Line 19: * '''Discussed''': "Man, I saw that guy who was looking for the princess was dead, and there were some depressing images floating around his body." * '''Conversed''': ??? * '''Played For Laughs''': The [[Game Over]] sequences show a [[Super -Deformed]] Kelvin or Velvet suffering some [[Amusing Injuries\|humorous indignity]], or a [[Well, Excuse Me, Princess!\|fuming Velvet]] scolding a [[Instant Bandages\|bandaged]] or [[Death Is Cheap\|recently rezzed Kelvin]]. * '''Played For Drama''': Kelvin's final moments are drawn out, showing how he suffers or his body's immediate fate, before segueing into a [[Downer Ending]] detailing how Velvet suffers after losing her champion. ---- And so the trope page slowly sunk into the realm of the forgotten, having been all but abandoned and not having enough information of the right quality to make it interesting enough to be noticed and revamped.
