The Trapped Trilogy/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Anvilicious: The Christian aspect of the game. It ultimately has no impact on the plot, but every game in the trilogy has a bible or bible quotes shoehorned into it.
    • While that's true. You could probably skip most of it if you know what you're doing. Since you almost certainly pick up a walkthrough from the start...that's likely
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The music in the shotgun duel in Escape is very good.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Dan Mc Neely, being voiced by Edwyn Tiong played a huge part in this of course.
  • Idiot Plot: The entire trilogy is this.
  • Narm: "Why do I feel so...TRAPPED?" * Face Palm*
    • "Oh, damn! I forgot Dialla." *gunfire outside door, cue player's disbelieving laughter*
    • "Get in there, or I'll shoot you!"
    • "Did I mention I have a thing... FOR WOMEN?"
    • 'This...is a CONVENIENCE STORE. I sell MILK...MAGAZINES...ciga-RETTES...'.
      • 'Why thank you young lady. I have no use for this BLOW-torch of mine. Here, take IT!'
    • Arguably the entire trilogy is Narm incarnate.
  • Shocking Swerve: A few of the plot developments.
  • So Bad It's Good: Terrible, illogical puzzles, a plot held together with spit and sawdust, bizarre interfaces that change from game to game, over the top voice acting, Christian references shoehorned in everywhere...
  • Took the Bad Film Seriously: The voice actors for Dialla and McNeely are both genuinely good. It seems somewhat out of place in the context of a game where you catch fish with bananas to trade to a random convenience store clerk for a blowtorch.
    • Well, it is a flash production so money isn't the issue. Seems like they're doing it as a hobby.
  • Unfortunate Implications: It's clear that the good guys are Christians while the bad guys are not. Characters who do not actively express themselves as Christian in some way (and are not evil) are likely not important enough to note. Also, due to Dialla's behavior and personality, there are slight sexist implications as well.
