History VideoGame / HypeTheTimeQuest

* DropTheHammer: Senekal.

* {{The Lost Woods}}: The forest in the first era. From that point on, it gets ghosts in the second era, Ghosts and falling branches in the third, and finally, they add black guards in the fourth. Oh, and you might want to MindYourStep in the fourth era, those rifts won't be merciful.

* PausedInterrupt: Happens in just about every conversation involving more than one NPC.

* {{Scenery Porn}}:

* MoralDissonance: Chasing a frightened woman around until she drops her money, and then taking it. It's probably played for laughs, though.

* FollowTheLeader: The game was heavily marketed as the PC equivalent of ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time]]''.

-->-- One of Hype's three lines.

Hype: The Time Quest is a video game based on the line of German toys Toys/{{Playmobil}}. It takes place in the medieval period, although [[SchizoTech some buttons and elevators]] can be found thorughout the game.

'''This show provides examples of:'''

* ViolationOfCommonSense: Let's see... jumping over bottomless pits, killing ghosts, climbing to absurd altitudes on tiny rafters... seems pretty fair.

* WelcomeToCorneria: Happily averted.

* BagofHolding: While less outrageous than some other examples, Hype does carry a vast amount of arrows, herbs and potions around. And he isn't even seen with a bag at all!

* AGodIAmNot: [[spoiler:Barnak ''was'' a god, and now he just wants a kingdom to rule.]]

* {{Airborne Mook}}: [[GoddamnedBats Bats]] and ghosts.
* {{Alternate Universe}}: Subverted, as Hype frequently time travels backwards, once resulting in everyone's memory loss 50 years in the future.
* {{And Your Reward Is Clothes}}: The Speed Boots and Hype's new armor. But it's more of a subversion, since these actually ''do'' something.

* {{Arbitrary Gun Power}}: Hype's crossbow has two types of bolts, [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience red and blue]]. The red do more damage, but still do not kill in one hit.
* {{Automatic Crossbow}}: Hype's crossbow, of course. No realoading, ready to fire as soon as an arrow has been fired. However, [[spoiler: Dark Hype]] takes this even farther with his ''rapid fire'' crossbow!

* {{Bag of Holding}}: While less outrageous than some other examples, Hype does carry a vast amount of arrows, herbs and potions around. And he isn't even seen with a bag at all!
* {{Battleship Raid}}: Subverted. One of the bosses is a three-headed dragon made of gold coins, which Hype fights while standing on piles of the stuff.
* {{Battle Theme Music}}: All bosses have this, and some even fade out when Hype is far enough away. Most have the same song, but the Gladiator and Senekal have a completely different one, while Barnak's is a slightly different version of the standard song.
* {{Beating A Dead Player}}
* {{Behind the Black}}
* {{Benevolent Architecture}}: Torras.

* {{Classic Cheatcode}}: There are more than twenty of these. Ex: Thereyougo, druidik, houdini, pouletfrit. You can even exploit Thereyougo to skip Rajoth via SequenceBreaking.
* {{Color Coded For Your Convenience}}: Potions, herbs, magics, and bolts.

* {{Creator Cameo}}: Toyed with, as the game's director is named Alain ''Tascan''. That name look familiar?

* {{Curb Stomp Battle}}: The opening cutscene features a fight between Hype and Barnak... Wait, that was a fight? I thought it was just Hype flying around the screen!

* {{Cut And Paste Environments}}: Completely averted. One of the reasons this game rocks.

* {{Darker And Edgier}}: The Fourth Era, since [[EvilOverlord Barnak]] took over Torras and its surroundings.

* {{Defanged Horrors}}: When you kill anything, they just fall down, look dazed, and fade away. What the heck?
* {{Dem Bones}}: The skeleton {{Mooks}}.
* {{Do Not Drop Your Weapon}}
* {{Do Not Run With A Gun}}: Hype can shoot and slash away while running, while all enemies stop moving to attack.
* {{Doomed Hometown}}: The netire premice of the game, as Hype is send 200 years in the past by a Black Knight and tries to travel through time to save it.
* {{The Dragon}}: Voydh, of course! And, to a lesser extent, Enost.
* DragonRider: Zatila can take Hype into the skies to aid him in his quest. And it is glorious.
* {{Easter Egg}}: The PDF files on the CD have some interesting information.
* {{Empty Room Psych}}: Subverted in that the unused inn room has absolutely nothing in it at first, but has a secret button in a later Era.

* {{Evil Tower Of Ominousness}}: The black tower, to the extreme. Complete with the most ominous and disturbing music in the game.
* {{Exploding Barrels}}: Ayup, and lots of them!

* {{Fake Ultimate Mook}}: Granslak, as long as you stay away from his feet.

* {{Floating Platforms}}: Invisible ones in the Lost City.

* {{Foreboding Architecture}}: If you see a wall decoration with a soldier on it, I wouldn't suggest turning your back to it. If there's an empty suit of armor on the ground or on the wall, it's definitely going to attack you.

* {{Girly Run}}: Pretty much any girl character that runs (minor ones included).
* {{Government In Exile}}: After he had sent Hype back in time, Barnak proceded to lock the Torras royalty in the Dungeons and seize the throne.
* {{Guns Are Worthless}}: Halfway played straight. The blue bolts are pathetic, while red ones are even more powerful than Hype's sword... on mooks. Certain bosses take damage from it, but some don't.
* {{Gravity Barrier}}: Absolutely, comepletely, and totally averted. You can fall off of ANY vertical drop. At all.

* {{Heroes Prefer Swords}}: And a crossbow.
* {{Idle Animation}}: Hype has four: Throwing his sword up in the air and catching it in its sheath when Hype has no weapon drawn, throwing his crossbow up in the air and catching it in his hand when he has the crossbow drawn, twirling the sword in his hand and swinging his sword in a cool fashion when it is drawn.
* {{Inexplicable Treasure Chests}}: H:TTQ ''loves'' this trope.

* RingOutBoss: Mhasse. More of ring in. Notably, he's the only boss that can't be defeated normally.

* RingOut: Mhasse. More of ring in.

* HeroicMime: As noted on the page quote, Hype almost never speaks. He only does in the beginning, when explaining his situation with Gogoud, and at the end, when insulting Barnak.

Hype: The Time Quest is a video game based on the line of German toys: Playmobil. It takes place in the medieval period, although [[SchizoTech some buttons and elevators]] can be found thorughout the game.

* {{A God Am I}}: Inverted. [[spoiler:Barnak ''was'' a god, and now he just wants a kingdom to rule.]]

* {{First Episode Spoiler}}: Gogoud [[spoiler:being the guardian of time.]] He states it blatantly in the opening cutscene, but by the time the player reaches the part of the game where it actually happens, they'll usually have forgotten about it.
