History VideoGame / StretchPanic

* WidgetSeries: It's a pretty damn weird game, even by Treasure standards.

* AWinnerIsYou: Despite having an intro cutscene, the game doesn't really have much of an ending. After beating the last boss and leaving the museum, it just cuts to the credits, with Linda and her sisters walking along.

* GagBoobs: Bonitas can GroundPound with them and use them as helicopters! Can't really see over them, though.

* BlatantLies / CoversAlwaysLie: Treasure and the back cover claim you can use the environment to directly damage things, but this isn't the case for the most part.

* DisappearedDad / MissingMom: The sisters seem to be the only family they have left.

* SelfImposedChallenge: There might not be a reward at all, but since you rescue a random sister each time you try to fight them, you could try to make sure each sister is different, which means either resetting / beating without exorcising until you have who you think is the right sister.
* SevenDeadlySins: The whole plot is about demons of vanity, which would fall into Pride. Even Linda gets her scarf possessed because it's the only worldly possession she really cares about.
** Jelly Chan could be considered to fall under Gluttony as well, with her love of food.

* EldritchAbomination: Demonica is an obvious one, being turned into something so horrific that looking at her is fatal. The demons themselves count, being able to twist the sisters into their demonic selves.

* Irony: Fay Soff, the sister most obsessed with her appearance, has the ugliest demon form of all the sisters (with the arguable exception of Jelly Chan).

* LongSongShortScene: "Reprise" is a nice, surprisingly touching song that plays at the end of the game after beating Siren (or whichever sister you beat last). The thing is, it only plays for as long as you stay in the museum lobby, and at that point there's nothing to do there except leave, which only takes a few seconds.

* ScreenShake: Notibly, fat sisters cause this when they do their victory dance.

''Stretch Panic'', or ''Freak Out'' in Europe, or ''Hippa Linda'' in Japan, is what happens when Creator/{{Treasure}} decides to make a game out of a tech demo, then shovel as much crazy into it as possible. The game is about a little girl named Linda, who gets bossed around by her 12 older sisters since she's the only one who doesn't spend every waking moment obsessing over her appearance. What kicks off the game is the sisters receiving a [[SealedEvilInACan mysterious package]] that promises to make them into their ideal image or something along those lines. Beauty obsessed as they are, they happily damn their souls and get sucked into Hell to be transformed into [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor exactly what was promised]]. Luckily, Linda just happened to arrive in time to get sucked into Hell as well, but not before her cherished scarf gets possessed, because the scarf is the only thing in the world in which Linda actually has any pride. Now, with her scarf as her only source of protection, she'll have to exorcise the demons possessing her sisters.

* AerithAndBob: Samantha and Linda, compared to all their meaningfully named sisters. And then Jelly-chan, who has a meaningful name with a Japanese honorific. And Fay Soff, who has a PunnyName.

* MoreThanMindControl: Demonically possessed or not, the sisters still seem to have much of their original personality intact, and continue to act autonomously even when you've pulled the demon out of them.

->"This is the [[{{Understatement}} unusual story]] of an [[CursedWithAwesome unusual little girl...]]"

--> Typically the first in-game text you see unless you [[AllThereInTheManual actually read the manual]].

* AerithAndBob: Samantha and Linda, compared to all their meaningfully named sisters. And then Jelly-chan, who has a meaningful name with a Japanese honorific. And Fay Soff, who has a PunnyName.

* RefugeInAudacity: Women with giant boobs, or giant boobs with women? Either way, it's '''hilarious'''.

* RefugeInVulgarity: Scoring heavy damage on Samantha causes her to vomit excessively. Each and every time you do it.

* AerithAndBob: Samantha and Linda, compared to all their meaningfully named sisters. And then Jelly-chan, who has a meaningful name with a Japanese honorific. And just what kind of name is Fay Soff, anyway?
** It is a [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin boss game]], right? [[hottip:* :Face-off]]

* WidgetSeries: It's a {{Treasure}} game, what do you expect? It's still pretty damn weird, even by their standards.
