Ruby Rabbit and the magical kingdom of Thistletown

Product Information

Sealed with a Kiss: Not the best possible example, as there was still some action after it, note (no, not that kind of action; there is story action after the kiss) but counts. Friend-or-Idol Decision: There was going to be one wherein either they escaped or Filbert told them about their past; however, by that point Filbert was dead.

Furry Lens: Word of God is that the characters aren't intended to be specifically anthropomorphic animals; he just drew Ruby, Tom, et cetera because he was familiar with drawing them from his series of Animal Crossing comics. Who Wants to Live Forever?: As things are, everyone still inside the facility is being promised an eternal life as unholy mutants. Hopefully this can be averted. Unusual Ears: The only way most of the characters can be told apart, due to the simplistic art style. Extra Eyes: Ruby has one. It allows her to see things differently, and keeps trying to kill her. And let's not even start about Subject 6...

Continuous integration systems can distribute builds between multiple machines with various hardware and software John Quest also makes a surprise appearance near the end, when Tom turns on the intercom and gets obscenities shouted at him, after John shouted obscenities into his intercom. Fandom Nod: Weaver ends the gag with him suddenly integrating/re-illustrating the Angry Marine's retelling of Ruby Quest into it note (much to the audience's bewilderment, amusement, and delight). Sequence Breaking: Instead of searching for a key to a particular medicine cabinet, Tom smashes it open. This gave players the tranquilizer ahead of time, allowing them to incapacitate Stitches instead of killing him. In a similar vein, Tom kills Filbert in a Curb-Stomp Battle, preventing him from potentially halting Ruby and Tom's escape later in the campaign. White Void Room: The setting of one of Ruby's hallucinations. Red cuts it apart with what looks to be the Eye Disk.

Arc Symbol: Multiple occurrences of this trope in the story. note including Ace's ♠ and especially the "Barbed Wheel" symbol ◊ Narrow catwalk over huge fans... in a medical research institute for the blind. Granted, there are handrails, but still. Ambidextrous Sprite: In some panels it's clear that Weaver copy/pastes or mirrors character models. For example, Tom's bandaged eye switches positions in these panels . The Unpronounceable: "Cjopaze Fhtagn" (Apparently, most accurate pronunciation is Syo-pah-zay Ff-ha-tay-gen)Rule of Romantic: Tom could have had enough time to save himself too, but his heroic last stand invoked a very nice and romantic kissing scene, so everyone pretty much ignored it. Harmful Healing: The all-purpose 'Miracle Cure' has some... unfortunate side effects. Essentially, it's some sort of Eldritch Abomination that can heal any injury or illness or even revive the dead, but the longer it's applied the more horribly mutated the subject will become. Mild cases may result in an extra pair of hands, More Teeth than the Osmond Family, or a third eye; a severe case turns the afflicted into... well... this ◊ or this. ◊ Technically Living Zombie: The horribly mutated patients of the Metal Glen were called zombies before /tg/ learned what they really were, although they were actually alive. Finally, the second-to-last shot reveals Tom Nook, who players thought was Subject #6, was actually Subject # 5, meaning that Tom, who players thought was Subject #5, was actually the 'incredibly dangerous' Subject #6.

Evil Is Not Well-Lit: Usually averted, but played straight with Cold Storage and most of Ruby's encounters with Subject #6 (although he doesn't get any better when the lights are on). Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: The facility in which the entire story takes place in—known as The Metal Glen—was, in a nutshell, built out of an odd, isolated, geological-formation from out in the middle of a secluded loch for the specific purpose of doctors and medical researchers practicing/ testing treatments note (treatments that would likely be deemed as "unconventional" by most) without the need of the proper permits, license, or the possibility of criminal prosecution. Eye Take: A recurring event in the game note (Often when one of the characters experience something very alarming).

Dug Too Deep: The Metal Glen did so in excavating the Brig, which led them to discover the Cure, which in turn sent the facility to Hell in a handbasket.

Also, Word of God says that Red had rigged his riddle so that even if they had answered right, he would still not let them in.The poem which Ruby Quest was based on. In it, a young hare is taken away from her home in a glen to an underwater facility. All the rest of the animals there have lost hope, except for the cat, who's trying to break his bonds. In the end, the hare frees herself and the cat, and they both attempt to escape the facility.
