History VideoGame / Trapt

Made by Tecmo for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 in 2005, [[MarketBasedTitle the odd]][[NewSeasonNewName ly named]] ''Trapt'' is the fourth game in the ''VideoGame/{{Deception}}'' series, and its Japanese title is ''Kagero II: Dark Illusion'', [[OddlyNamedSequel2ElectricBoogaloo due to some confusion in the series about what the actual title is]]. The game's premise is mostly the same as the previous entries: you're in a mansion, kill everyone too dumb to stay away. Damaging enemies nets you Warl, which is used to create new traps and open new areas. Damaging enemies also gets you Ark, which does nothing but provide you with another funny word to say while the game loads.

* DealWithTheDevil: Allura is [[JustForPun strong-armed]] into one.

%%BastardBastard: [[spoiler: Rachel.]]
BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Rachel, she pretends to be Allura's friend, maid, while planning to offer her up as a sacrifice to the devil.]]

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Killing someone with a buzzsaw, a guillotine or a falling chandelier is cruel. Killing someone with ''all three'' is cruel '''and''' unusual.

* DistressedDude: Jais arguably falls into this trope. His heart is in the right place and it's clear he's determined to protect Allura at all costs, but more often than not he ends up being completely useless. [[spoiler: Unless you try to abandon your duties as future queen and flee the country, that is.]]

* PermanentlyMissableContent: For every main mission you get to play a corresponding Side Story, which work like bonus sub-scenarios. If you don't play them before starting each main mission, they're gone for good.

** Leads to BadassNormal by the end because hey, even if their attacks are utterly ineffective and quite frankly pitiful you have to give at least ''some'' credit to the peasant woman who joined the penultimate battle squad composed otherwise of zombie-demon-knights and archmages.

* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler: Your dad's alive. And he's an asshole.]]

%%BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Rachel, again.]]

* BastardBastard: [[spoiler: Rachel.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler: Rachel, again.]]

* HairDecorations: Allura wears a headband.

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Our heroine, Princess Allura (although you can change the name).

* [[spoiler: BastardBastard]]: [[spoiler: Rachel.]]
* [[spoiler: BitchInSheepsClothing]]: [[spoiler: Rachel, again.]]

%%* RocksFallEveryoneDies: A common destructive trap.
%%* SealedEvilInACan: The point of the castle you start playing in.

%%* ShoutOut: To Don Quijote and Sancho Panza.

[[IThoughtItMeant Not to be confused]] with the band {{Music/Trapt}}, known for the song "Headstrong".

* LostForever: For every main mission you get to play a corresponding Side Story, which work like bonus sub-scenarios. If you don't play them before starting each main mission, they're gone for good.

* MultipleEndings: And a few nonstandard ones as well.
* NewGamePlus

* RocksFallEveryoneDies: A common destructive trap.
* SealedEvilInACan: The point of the castle you start playing in.

* ShoutOut: To Don Quijote and Sancho Panza.

* SurvivalHorror: Just not for ''you''...

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: Rachel is Allura's bastard half-sister, abandoned along with her mother when Allura was born.]] She hates Allura and wants her to suffer in any way she can.

* [[spoiler: BitchInSheepsClothing]]: [[spoiler: Rachel.]]

-->'''Andrew Reiner:''' "I enjoyed the ''Deception'' series on PSone, but this sequel hasn't made any strides forward. Inflicting unspeakable pain on mindless video game drones puts you in the shoes of wily Kevin [=McCallister=], but as you'll soon learn, anything that reminds you of Macaulay Culkin is not good."

* [[spoiler: BitchInSheepsClothing]]: [[spoiler: Rachel]].

* DealWithTheDevil: Allura is [[IncrediblyLamePun strong-armed]] into one.

* DistressedDamsel: Rachel, who only has a few scenes where she's ''not'' injured or put out of commission. [[spoiler: It's an act.]]

* [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Hoist By Her Own Petard]]: Certain enemies can activate Allura's traps from afar, turning them against her.

* OddlyNamedSequel: ''Trapt'' is the worst offender, but if it wasn't for the [[NumberedSequel numbering]] in the first three, few people would know they were related at first glance. Of course, it's original name ''Kagero 2'' makes about as much sense, making it the sequel to Kagero: Deception II. Deception III is apparently something else.

* RasputinianDeath: Perhaps the ''third'' point of the series: Funny combos to maximize

* {{Yandere}}: [[spoiler:Rachel, as part of TheReveal]].
