Line 35:
* [[Gainax Ending]]: Whoever can explain coherently ''what the '''fuck''' happened'' in ''Dark Seed 2'''s ending, step right up.
** [[Slowbeef]] [http://lparchive.org/Darkseed-2/Bonus/ has interviewed one of the writers and] [[Shrug of God|he admits that they intentionally left it ambiguous]]. {{spoiler|Either Mike stopped the Ancients from taking over the world and discovers that Jack is not only the Shapeshifter, but his own Dark World counterpart... or the Dark World was really made out of Mike's crazy imagination and Jack is his other identity, implying Mike has Dissociative Identity Disorder. Either way, [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog Story|Mike is killed with a knife to the back and is framed for the murders]].}}
* [["Get Out of Jail Free" Card]]: A very literal one in the first game. {{spoiler|Its use is required to win the game. Items placed in your real-world cell will transfer over to the Dark World jail's cell, and since your inventory is stripped when you're incarcerated in the latter, those items will be the only inventory you get to finish the game. However, staying in a cell overnight wastes one of your three days, so an early exit is mandatory.}}
* [[Gratuitous German]]: Jack uses the word "dummkopf" as an [[Unusual Euphemism]].
* [[Guide Dang It]] / [[Unwinnable By Design]]: No thanks to extreme amounts of [[Fake Difficulty]]. Good luck figuring out how to [[Solve the Soup Cans]] without consulting [[Game FAQs]].
Line 63:
* [[Unwinnable By Design]]: Unless you follow a very specific (and in some cases [[Moon Logic Puzzle|non-sensical]]) set of directions, there are ways to lock yourself out of winning both games.
* [[Urban Legend of Zelda]] / [[Urban Legend]]: Supposedly, the real Mike Dawson spent so much time working on these games he had a [[Creator Breakdown]]. Actually; the truth is far different - he quit game development after the games were completed, yes, but he wrote for television, wrote two books on computer programming, and begun teaching game design classes at Stanford and UCLA.
* [[Wham! Line]]: In ''Darkseed 2:'' {{spoiler|1=[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svdroo73G_Y#t=20s This will explain everything.]}}
* [[Who Shot JFK?]]: One of Slim's theories for why Rita was killed: to cover up the truth of this event.
* [[Your Head Asplode]]: Poor {{spoiler|Ms. Dawson}}.
* [[You Wouldn't Believe Me If I Told You]]: Mike keeps what happened to him at the mansion a secret in the second game because of how bizarre it would be to explain it all. He tells his therapist some details but keeps them in the form of nightmares.
