History VideoGame / CONFINIUM

* TheBlank: Naamah has no face. Instead, several crystal spikes seem to be rammed through her head from the back, sticking out where a face would normally be.
* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: Despite Pilot and Navigator supposedly belonging to an entire military, they end up doing pretty much everything alone. This is somewhat justified because [[spoiler: by the time it's clear how serious the situation is, most of their base has already been horribly injured or Burnt by a surprise attack, and]] the Guardians are physically unable to fight the [[spoiler: Add-ons.]]

* PlayerPunch: While pursuing Alpha through zone Saturn, the Pilot and the Navigator come across an Elsen on the brink of burning, whose friend begs them to get him medicine. [[spoiler: Even if you do so, he goes Burnt and almost kills his devoted friend, and the protagonists have to destroy him. The other elsen almost Burns too out of horror and grief, and is left completely broken down.]] It's your first real indication that this world is just as twisted as OFF's.

* ViewerGenderConfusion: It's a little hard to tell that Omni is a guy from his sprites.

* WholesomeCrossdresser: At the Theater, Pilot briefly ends up in a maid outfit, as Frog Prince is so disappointed that he just chose a plain white shirt and tie that he picks out a different costume for him.

CONFINIUM is a fanmade sequel to Mortis Ghost's surreal indie [[RolePlayingGame RPG]], VideoGame/{{OFF}}. It consists of two "Acts", the first of which has been released and the second of which is currently in development. Many gameplay and story elements from the original game appear, although this being an origin story, all with a very different spin.

* [[IllGirl Ill Boy]]: The Frog Prince is afflicted by a strange disease that has turned his arm and leg warty and froglike, and one of his dialogue sounds is him coughing.

* NaughtyNurseOutfit: Sucre appears briefly wearing a nurse's uniform, and it's about as good at covering her up as her[[WalkingShirtlessScene original outfit.]]

** Rotthe: The Hermit.

* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: Despite Pilot and Navigator supposedly belonging to an entire military, they end up doing pretty much everything alone. This is somewhat justified because [[spoiler: by the time it's clear how serious the situation is, most of their base has already been horribly injured or Burnt by a surprise attack, and]] the Guardians are physically unable to fight the [[spoilers: Add-ons.]]

** Frog Prince's real name is defined by the player.

* MoodWhiplash: Act 1 ends with [[spoiler: a grim cliffhanger, possibly the deaths of all three main characters. The ending theme is the upbeat, relaxed We'll Meet Again by Vera Lynn.]]
* MultipleChoicePast: [[spoiler: Frog Prince's]] backstory and even the nature of his existence is decided by the answers the player gives during Sucre's dance.
* NaughtyNurseOutfit: Sucre appears briefly wearing a nurse's uniform, and it's about as good at covering her up as her[[WalkingShirtlessScene original outfit.]]

* NoNameGiven: Both the Pilot and Navigator are referred to solely by their job titles.
* [[IllGirl Ill Boy]]: The Frog Prince is afflicted by a strange disease that has turned his arm and leg warty and froglike, and one of his dialogue sounds is him coughing.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: The Frog Prince wields hockey sticks in battle.

* HeroicCrossdresser: At the Theater, Pilot briefly ends up in a maid outfit, as Frog Prince is so disappointed that he just chose a plain white shirt and tie that he picks out a different costume for him.

* NotSoSerious: Navigator comes off as very down-to-earth and businesslike, but when Frog Prince wants to play dressup at the Theater, he talks Pilot into it and picks a goofy sheet ghost as his outfit.

* TheMainCharactersDoAnything: Despite Pilot and Navigator supposedly belonging to an entire military, they end up doing pretty much everything alone. This is somewhat justified because [[spoiler: by the time it's clear how significant an issue the Add-ons are, most of their base has already been horribly injured or Burnt by a surprise attack, and]] the Guardians are unable to touch them.

!!(Tropes appearing in CONFINIUM)

CONFINIUM is a fanmade sequel to Mortis Ghost's surreal indie [[RolePlayingGame RPG]] OFF. It consists of two "Acts", the first of which has been released and the second of which is currently in development.

Many gameplay and story elements from the original game appear, although this being an origin story of sorts, the setting has yet not reached the utterly barren state depicted in OFF, and three additional zones - Jupiter, Pluto, and Saturn - exist on the other side of the apparently disc-shaped Nothingness. Also, the [[OmnicidalManiac Batter]] rules the world.
