Line 20:
The object of the game is to peruse the darkened manor, tracking down the servants and students before the titular wraith can get to them, then discover a way to destroy the soul-sucking entity on the loose.
The game features both [[Multiple Endings|a good and a bad ending]], complete with unlockable cutscene CGs for certain events in the game. It features an overhead retrogame view and a [[First
While still a relatively unknown game, it is making headway in the gaming community. Upon the creation of this trope page, one [[Let's Play]] had already been added to the fan fray. The game can be found [http://rpgmaker.net/games/379/ here.]
Line 46:
* [[Big Bad]]: Cases can be made for both {{spoiler|Eugene}} and {{spoiler|Victor}}, though both are somewhat tenuous.
** [[Bigger Bad]]: {{spoiler|The Order.}}
* [[Big Screwed
* [[Black Comedy]]: Though the game advertises itself as horror, there are so many comic relief moments that it often feels more like this.
* [[Blind Without
* [[Body Horror]]: Poor {{spoiler|Ramius and Regina Wellington; he prematurely ages, she becomes a mutant}}.
* [[Book Ends]]: Sort of. The poem quoted at the beginning of this article is displayed on the title and save screens (and is therefore the first thing the player sees), and its final two lines make up [[The Stinger]].
Line 76:
* [[Lineage Comes From the Father]]: In this case, {{spoiler|the Wellington family curse leads to the destruction of the whole family---including Erina, who just married into it!}}
* [[Made of Iron]]: {{spoiler|Cyrus}} survives being hit point-blank with {{spoiler|a ''bomb''}}, then ''falling two stories''. Later, they proceed to survive being shot ''four times''. {{spoiler|Ultimately subverted, however, as his wounds eventually do catch up to him, and he dies during the ending.}}
** [[Why Won't You Die?]]: {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Eugene]]}} says ''this line exactly'' to the aforementioned character after {{spoiler|he is brought back from the brink of death by Ristof}}.
* [[Most Writers Are Male]]: Neo Kuriyo, fits this trope...[[Subverted Trope|but only in the sense he is male]]. Unlike many male developers, his female characters are all fully developed and are believeable, not just dainty or overly busty damsels. Though there's several jokes that appeal to both genders throughout the game.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: Two.
Line 82:
** However, if you go through a certain chain of actions to {{spoiler|prove that Regina's still alive, and Erina can therefore be exorcised}}, then you'll be on track for the "good" ending after the point where the game normally ends. {{spoiler|In this case, Erina is able to die peacefully, and you learn the full [[Backstory]] behind everything. [[Bittersweet Ending|Kana gets kidnapped by the Order, though]].}}
* [[Nerd Glasses]]: Ryan has these.
* [[Non
* [[No Sell]]: Members of the Agency (and {{spoiler|humans injected with Victor's mutagen}}) are completely immune to the wraith's soul-draining touch. In fact, the sequel reveals that their souls are so powerful, the ''wraith'' will be consumed if it tries to drain it.
* [[Oh Crap]]: Kana {{spoiler|when she learns that the only way to destroy the Wraith is to be trapped in an elevator with it, then lure it to a glass cell until the scientists can destroy it}}.
Line 97:
* [[Wanton Cruelty to The Common Comma]]: Since this was Neok's first game, it has a large number of typos and grammar mistakes. Most frequently, there are quite a number of commas in places they shouldn't be, and some commas missing from places they ''should'' be.
* [[Weakened By the Light]]: Wraiths, which is why lightstones are so effective against them.
* [[Well
* [[Your Soul Is Mine]]: The wraith's soul-draining touch is the type 2 variant. It's revealed midway through the game that the reason wraiths do this is because {{spoiler|they are a soul twisted and broken by hatred and negativity, so they desire a normal soul to replace their own. This is also why they specifically target blessed souls. However, this doesn't actually work; the only way for a wraith to find peace is to fix its own soul.}}
