* AmbiguousDisorder: Randall is somehow autistic, schizophrenic or mentally impaired because of his severe lack of social skills and unusual behaviour.



* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler: When Randall still lived with his foster parents and announced he got a job and planned to move away from them, they mocked him for this, saying that he could never have a normal life because of having to constantly rely on pills to function and his NoSocialSkills and AmbiguousDisorder. As it turns out, once Randall runs out of pills he goes completely AxCrazy and starts murdering people. Once he regains his senses in the Good Ending, he realizes his foster parents were right and locks himself in the burning building, realizing he’ll never get better.]]

''Purple'' is is a horror RPG created by Masochistfox with RPG Maker VX Ace.

Randall Purpura is a person who’s been discharged from hospital for unknown reasons. He has two neighbours nearby that he’s eager to acquaint with, although before getting to know them, he’s visiting the hospital for more pills. As the days pass and the pills run out, the already unstable Randall [[SanitySlippage starts going further and further down the rabbit hole...]]

You can get the English version of the game in the official page [[https://masochistfox.itch.io/purple#_=_ here]].

Not to be confused with another game also called {{Videogame/Purple}}.

*AllThereInTheManual: The official blog contains the backstory and random fact about the protagonists.
* AlwaysCheckBehindTheChair: Some important items can be hidden just about anywhere. While important items can be found, this doesn't highlight everything. The in-game manual encourages checking everything in hopes of finding useful items, like [[spoiler: Tom’s wooden figurine or Mya’s band aid, which are necessary for the Good Ending.]]
* AmbiguousDisorder: Randall is somehow autistic, schizophrenic or mentally impaired because of his severe lack of social skills and unusual behaviour.
*AnimalMotifs: Moths.
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler: Randall, post SanitySlippage.]]
*BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: During the first part of the game Randall is always complaining about how his pills make him unable to dream at night. Then he runs out of them and has a nightmare about his DarkAndTroubledPast...
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason of Randall's attraction towards Tom. [[spoiler: It ends badly.]]
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Randall. After he runs out of pills, he quickly becomes AxCrazy.
*BreakTheCutie: Okay, who doesn't go through this throughout the course of the story? There's Stuart, and... that's it, really. And when someone breaks, they either break hard or die, by suicide or intentionally.
*BungledSuicide: The reason for [[spoiler: Randall’s neck scars are the result of a failed attempt at hanging himself after his first murder.]]
*ButThouMust: When Randall and Mya find a key inside a toilet, he has the option to pick it. Mya suggest not to, as it’s disgusting. Unfortunately that’s the only way to open the hospital door and Randall ends up sticking his hand in the toilet anyway.
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler: Tom's wooden fox figurine and Mya's bandage.]]
* CloudCuckoolander: Randall’s thought process is very...odd. Also he likes flushing toilets because he finds it funny. Until he accidentally overflows them by flushing them too much (which can happen to his own toilet or Tom’s). It’s all PlayedForLaughs though.
*DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler: The Tom that appears in Randall’s room agreeing to sleep with him is not the real one. Randall had already murdered him the prior day and is hallucinating.]]
*EverybodysDeadDave: [[spoiler: In the Good Ending, the rest of the characters, save for Mya and Stuart, are dead.]]
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler: Mya's twin sister Amy, who's a rude and insensitive jerk and refuses to accept that her brother is now a trans woman. She returns to the apartment days later in order to apologize and accept her twin's decision, but she's murdered by Randall shortly after.]]
*FloorboardFailure: When Randall is being chased by the Moth in the hospital basement.
*FourIsDeath: Randall’s pills run out at Day 3 and he spends the whole day trying to buy new ones. He returns empty-handed. [[spoiler: When Day 4 arrives....he starts suffering SanitySlippage without the pills to keep him in-check.]]
* HandHidingSleeves: Randall has them.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Randall in the Bad Ending. Not only he has killed Tom and Amy and got away with it, he also escapes and becomes Mya's new neighbor.]]
* KillItWithFire: [[spoiler: Happens at the final day.]]
*OnlyFriend: When Mya befriends Randall, he’s positively puzzled about it and says she’s his first friend. Mya doesn’t believe it. Considering Randall’s isolated background, he’s saying the truth.
* MultipleEndings: It has 3 endings, Bad End, Good End and a joke Alien End.
*NiceGirl: Mya. She'll generally be caring, compassionate, and kind in almost all situations, the only rare exception being when she snaps at Randall after having a fight with her sister (who found out Mya was a trans woman and had a fight with her about it).
* NoSocialSkills: Randall has a severe lack of social skills due to living in isolation for most of his life.
* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: Tom is this, according to WordOfGod.
* SelfMadeOrphan: [[spoiler: It's heavily implied that Randall killed the tenants of the locked room, his foster parents.]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: [[spoiler: Moth is revealed to be this.]]
* {{Transgender}}: Mya.
*WhyDoYouKeepChangingJobs: Stuart. He’s first seen working in a café and then as a store clerk. It’s implied he has much more jobs.

Then he runs out of pills and everything goes to hell.]]
*YouAreWorthHell: [[spoiler: Implied to be the reason Randall tags along with Mya and Tom in the Alien Ending.]]
