I'm not sure if this is okay to put in the Video Game section since it's not about a specific game, it's just a mechanic used in a video game, but here's something I had in mind.

You know how Radiant Historia at least involves Time Travel and you have to get 100% for the Secret Ending, and how you can't the True Ending in Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors without getting one of the other endings first?

Well...

I don't want to spoil too much, but some bad endings involve a main character actually having a Faceā€“Heel Turn, but then their canonically count as good guys still that save the world for you, so that's kind of freaky. o.O

So, what are these reasons...? Well, the trope is usually that their a... Yandere

Especially for Nine Hours, Nine Hours, Nine Doors, the Time Travel thing is actually canon, so whose to say the bad endings aren't also canon involving the SAME character who shows both a good side and an evil one, being Clover.

Because of all this, I was wondering about what it would be like for these characters to actually have their hidden dark side called into question by the main character even if their not aware of it just to be safe and try to avoid it.

Of course, this could make things worse. :p

But um... yeah. I've never seen this kind of thing before, so I thought it would be a good video game idea.

Whose with me on this?

Aww, nevermind then. :(

The whole thing just feels odd to shrug off is all... when you got partners that aren't exactly the most mature or sane people around, or there's something that can make them snap so easily. :p

If I knew about any of that, I would be nervous. XD

This really should be on the video game board. Not sure why you thought the discussing of a video game mechanic wouldn't belong there.
