Also known as ''The Color Tuesday'', TCT is an [[Eastern RPG]] on [[Newgrounds]] (and other sites) designed by Robert Lee, (webname; Grawsie).
The game centers around [[Childhood Friends]] Alex and Kyle, who, after being drawn by a beautiful melody into the woods in the dead of night, meet a woman that tells them about the Others, evil creatures that can influence adults to do their bidding. The children are also told that they are destined to save the world from the Others and only they are free of their influence. To defeat their enemy, they must use their special powers driven by imagination.
The game is set in an ostensibly modern setting, with lots of inspiration coming from ''[[

==== Character Tropes ====
* [[Big Bad]]: Officer Maxwell... sorta. He's the biggest villain [[Man Behind the Man|you see.]]
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Bella acts and dresses like someone from two centuries back.
* [[Childhood Friends]]: Alex and Kyle.
* [[Delinquents]]: Alex is implied to be a mild case at the start. In this setting that is [[Mind Control|a good thing.]] She also appears to have the mental condition [
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Maxwell is disgusted by Pierce, though it isn't clear if his reason for {{spoiler|burning him}} stems from this disgust or as [[You Have Failed Me...|punishment]] for Pierce allowing the band to escape town. Possibly both.
* [[Face Heel Turn]]: {{spoiler|Page, after Alex refuses to hand over the guitar her brother left for her.}}
* [[Fat Bastard]]: Pierce. Alex has no problems putting him down with it.
* [[Four
** Choleric: Alex: [[Hot
** Melancholic: Kyle: The calm, level-headed team-worker, who corresponds best as [[The Lancer]] as its only Alexs position as the Red in the [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]] relationship which makes him not the hero. Is nonetheless prone to martyring himself and places others before himself.
** Sanguine: Bella: Slightly loopy, but cheerful and well meaning, she seems to float slightly above the rest of the cast (and at times above reality.) Shows elements of [[The Smart Guy]].
** Phlegmatic: Chadd: Laid back and docile; a born follower, he requires a guiding hand, but has enough sense to make up for himself what path to follow as a follower. Shows elements of [[The Big Guy]].
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: {{spoiler|Kyle attempts a heroic sacrifice when he finds the only way to deliver needed medicine to his sister requires he sacrifice his powers and memory, but the character is hauled back from it when Alex has a brainwave relating to something her brother told her.}}
* [[Hot

'''Paige:''' Probably because you [[Ask a Stupid Question|ask stupid questions.]]
'''Bella:''' [[Deadpan Snarker|Also, you have no tact.]]
'''Alex:''' Shut up! }}
* [[Just a Kid]]:
{{quote|
* [[Knight in Shining Armour]]: Kyle fits the archetype.
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Pierce. Everything about the guy screams "massive creep."
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Alex is the red, Kyle the blue.
* [[Screw Destiny]]
{{quote|
* [[Strange Girl]]: Bella's a little odd, going beyond merely being a [[Cloudcuckoolander]]. Everything she says sounds like its from a medieval romance, and she’s oddly hostile to Alex (probably because she's not ladylike).
* [[Well
