Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
On the surface, it seems like a simple anti-logical get-through-the-maze game. Then you get to the storyline. In the beginning you're told that you're helping research a cure for cancer. Wonderful, right? Well, not so much. After every maze you get what seems to be a transmission from some guy with a television for a head. You're not told who he is, but it's fairly obvious that he's supposed to be the fellow running the establishment. Every transmission gets a little bit creepier, with the only comic relief being the horrible grammar, but even that doesn't make it less scary; especially because the sound effect of the guy's "talking" is so insanely loud that it sounds like constant shouting. Then, when he starts going on about how "the cancer is death" and "To kill a cancer you have to shoot it"... you start getting the horrible feeling that something is just not right with this guy. Specifically in the area of sanity.
The whole game is set in a freakishly dark, totally black-and-white setting. There aren't many details in your surroundings, but that just makes it worse. A heavy breathing sound, presumably your own, loops through the entire game.
In the second level, you come across another TV-head-fellow. At first he appears to have a completely blank screen (unlike Crazy Transmissions Guy, who usually has a face on his). When you try to interact with him, a bloody, fanged mouth appears on its screen and there's a loud shouting-like noise. Try not to die of fright at this point.
The last level... It starts you out in an empty room. Nowhere to hide. Just the guy you've been talking to. Whereupon the guy yells, "I WILL CURE YOU, CANCER!" then a gunshot and you die. Nowhere to run, no way to escape it, no hidden way around. Just death.
