{{quote|''"This is a terrible place. [[Abandoned Hospital|A once great institution of healing]] twisted into terrifying pit of corruption and death. I've been here longer than I can remember. But now that you're here, maybe we can work together to escape this nightmare. After all, [[Voice Withwith an Internet Connection|you have to trust someone.]] And since I'm the only one not trying to kill you at the moment, it might as well be me! I am not going to lie to you, the most likely outcome for you is [[Fate Worse Than Death|ceaseless torment.]] I probably should've lied to you... shouldn't I?"''|'''The Old Man'''}}
 
''The Dark Meadow'' is a 2011 [[Survival Horror]] game for the [[IOS Games|iOS]] (iPad and iPhone) operating system. It was developed by Phosphor Games, a fledgling company that utilizes Unreal Engine 3.
Line 26:
* [[Cool Sword]]: Lots, and also cool crossbows and amulets.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: The White Witch can and will deliver this to you if you aren't prepared for her.
* [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]: {{spoiler|This is what kicks off the events of the game. Ben Jacobi's parents sold their son's soul in exchange for being cured of his illness and receiving 17 good years. Later, [[Kick the Dog|Ben sells his daughter's soul]] in exchange for 17 more years in his life, which weren't anywhere near as rosy as the years that came from first deal. Ben's reached the end of his contract, hence why he's in the hospital.}}
* [[Door to Before]]: {{spoiler|If you were defeated by The Trickster, you can just keep clicking on the cicada pool in the courtyard to instantly jump to the final boss arena.}}
* [[Downer Ending]]: {{spoiler|If you choose to defeat your daughter's soul one last time and toss it into the pit, you'll awaken at a modern mental asylum. The Trickster double-crosses you and locks you up in chains for the next 17 years of the contract.}}
Line 32:
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: {{spoiler|The Trickster, '''AND HOW!'''}}
* [[Evilly Affable]]: {{spoiler|The old man, aka The Trickster.}}
* [[Evil Gloating]]: {{spoiler|The Trickster}} absolutely ''loves'' to do this. He gives [[Portal (Video Gameseries)|GLaDOS]] a run for her money, which is REALLY saying something.
* [[Evil Is Not Well Lit]]: Monsters won't attack you in any room that has light coming in. (Although a little bit getting in through a crack is OK for them, apparently.)
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Being a middleman from Hell, it's only natural for {{spoiler|The Trickster}} to do this.
Line 54:
* [[Reverse Grip]]: The warrior does this for many of his attack animations.
* [[Scenery Porn]]: Judging from the fact that this game was made with Unreal Engine 3, this should surprise no one at all!
* [[Shout-Out]]: The old man gives quite a few references to pop culture in his ramblings. Notable examples include references to ''[[Snow White (Disney film)|Snow White]]'', Atlantis, [[The Beatles]], and ''[[Grand Theft Auto San Andreas]]''.
* [[Take a Third Option]]: {{spoiler|Don't want to kill the White Witch but also don't want to try to take the Trickster's life in vain? Just turn around and touch the pit.}}
* [[Trick Boss]]: With your high experience levels and fancy weapons, {{spoiler|The Trickster's first form gets his ass handed to him fairly quickly. Next thing you know, The Trickster unleashes his second form through some [[Squick|squicktastic]] [[Body Horror]] and you'll be dealing with someone who's '''much more''' powerful than you.}}
Line 62:
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|The Trickster}} has one of these if you choose to {{spoiler|sacrifice yourself by walking into the pool of [[Buffy-Speak|dark sludgy stuff]].}}
* [[Villainous Harlequin]]: Some of the more agile enemies are these.
* [[Voice Withwith an Internet Connection]]: The old man sure communicates with you quite a bit through the intercom.
* [[Was Once a Man|Was Once a Girl]]: {{spoiler|The White Witch was once your character's daughter.}}
* [[We Can Rule Together]]: {{spoiler|The Trickster}} offers you to join him after the final boss fight. {{spoiler|If you accept, he double-crosses you and locks you up in an asylum in the real world. Then the credits roll and you're placed back at the beginning of the game.}}
* [[Wham! Episode]]: What the White Witch tells you after the first fight.
* [[X Meets Y]]: [[Infinity Blade]] meets [[Silent Hill]].
** [[Infinity Blade]] meets [[Bio ShockBioshock]].
** The old man's personality: [[Bio ShockBioshock|Sander Cohen]] meets [[Portal (Video Gameseries)|GLaDOS.]]
