Then Gray and Peach split up, Gray and Magenta end up married with two children, and Peach and Blue get into a relationship.

The first three games revolve around the relationship issues between the blue square, the bright pink square, the light pink square, and the gray square (for simplicity's sake, they will be called [[FanNickname Blue, Magenta, Peach, and Gray]] respectively). ''Pretentious Game 1'' and ''2'' focus on Blue as he pines for Magenta, who is oblivious to his feelings for her and ends up marrying Gray, and tries to move on by getting together with Peach. ''Pretentious Game 3'' focuses on Peach's, Magenta's, and Gray's sides of the story. The fourth, most recent game in the series revolves around the familial relationship between Magenta's daughter and son.

* AffectionateParody: The first two games poke fun at the conventions of pretentious puzzle-platform games like ''VideoGame/{{Braid}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Limbo}}''. By the third game, where the story starts to get more complex, it's arguable that the series drifts in IndecisiveParody territory.
