The Dark Meadow: Difference between revisions

 

As the man kills the monsters, he gets gold to buy better equipment and experience to make him a better fighter. He also starts to pick up journal entries and documents that tell the real reason why he is there. In short, many things are not what they seem in this abandoned hospital...

 

* [[Abandoned Hospital]]: The main setting of the game, where you have to fight your way from the first floor up.

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|The option where you sacrifice yourself by jumping into the pit. You are now dead, but you've redeemed yourself by emancipating your daughter's soul from The Trickster and the [[Abandoned Hospital]] falls shortly after.}}

* [[Black Comedy]]: The old man's sense of humor.

* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]: Using real money, players can buy massive amounts of gold. Because gold can be used for new weapons and amulets, with enough money you could have every weapon and a maxed-out character before you fight your first enemy.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: That dirty fountain in the outdoor plaza? {{spoiler|It's a portal that takes you directly to the final area of the game, saving you ''a lot'' of time if The Trickster kills you the first time around.}}

* [[I Need You Stronger]]: Or rather, the White Witch needs YOUR CHARACTER to be stronger.

* [[Kleptomaniac Hero]]: The old man calls you out for this. That said, [[Hypocritical Humor|he loves ranting about how he has all the food supply in the hospital.]]

* [[Light Is Not Good]]: The White Witch, according to the old man, is in charge of the hordes of grotesque creatures that are trying to kill you.

* [[Mook Chivalry]]: Averted. Your enemies come one at a time, but they can pop out at anytime. This can make combat against them quite annoying.

* [[Multiple Endings]]: You get three: {{spoiler|a [[Downer Ending]] if you choose to toss your daugther's soul into the pit, a [[The Bad Guy Wins]] ending if you decide to attempt to kill the [[Big Bad]], and a [[Bittersweet Ending]] if [[Take a Third Option|you choose to turn around]] [[Heroic Sacrifice|and sacrifice]] [[Redemption Equals Death|yourself.]]}}

* [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: {{spoiler|Choosing to save your own skin for 17 more years in exchange for screwing over your daughter AGAIN will ''[[Sarcasm Mode|surely]]'' [[Sarcasm Mode|earn you fans.]]}}

* [[Villain Protagonist]]: {{spoiler|It turns out that Ben Jacobi (the player) sold ''his newborn daughter's soul'' to the devil just so that he could live for 17 more years. You also have the option of corrupting your daughter's soul in the end in exchange for another 17 years in the character's life, for maximum [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]].}}

* [[Villainous Harlequin]]: Some of the more agile enemies are these.

* [[Voice With an Internet Connection]]: The old man sure communicates with you quite a bit through the intercom.
