History VideoGame / LoveYouToBits

* WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue: The end of every level has a one picture conclusion stating what the inhabitants of that current level are doing. [[spoiler: For example, "R.A.M. (Robots At Midnight)" has the 2 coffee pots that Kosmo hooked up out on a date, while the end of "A Sticky Situation" has the slime monster that Kosmo filled with water enjoying his new found water geyser head.]]

The plot of the game revolves around Kosmo, a young, clumsy but kind-hearted space explorer, and his robot girlfriend, Nova. After a run-in with a gang of enemy ships, Kosmo's ship is blown up, [[LiterallyShatteredLives and all that is left of Nova is her head]]. The other parts of her aren't destroyed, just sent throughout the galaxy. Thus, Kosmo has to adventure to a variety of different worlds and levels, each one with their own unique theming, and collect Nova's bits. As a PointAndClick adventure game, each level has a puzzle you need to solve using the items found in the level, and interacting with the environment in the correct way to work your way towards the path of getting Nova's bit for the level. There are also a total of 60 collectibles scattered throughout the game as well, with stages having either 2 or 3 collectibles (save for the first level, "A Cosmic Breakup" [[spoiler: and last level, "The Last Piece")]]. Collecting these will unlock memories of Kosmo and Nova's life together before the game started. There is also {{Backstory}} played out throughout the game after every three levels in the form of a one-page comic.

** In "A Slimy Future" Kosmo can pull out a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBrothers skeleton with a red cap in the sewers]].

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Nova was once invented to be a destructive robot to be used by Dr. Eros. [[GoneHorriblyRight He certainly made her destructive, and after blowing up his lab, she became a fugitive,]] meeting up with Kosmo by using him as a hostage against a policeman who tried to arrest her. Slowly, after hanging out with Kosmo, she slowly mellowed out and became the lively and energetic robot she is today.]]

* ABoyAndHisX: Robot girlfriend in this case, or lack thereof which he tries to rebuild.

** "Polterheist" has a [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos strange emotionless creature that stalks Kosmo throughout the level]]. In the attic, [[Franchise/FiveNightsAtFreddys bear with a black hat can be seen]].

** "Arcade Escape" is filled to the brim with Video Game references, most notably the virtual segments. The first one is a homage to ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' with the monochromatic filter of the GameBoy. The second machine is an entire reference to Franchise/{{Metroid}} to the point that you even use some of the series most famous items. Lastly, the final machine is a reference to Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda, [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Ocarina of Time in particular]]. Also, an inaccessible machine depicts a reference to {{Franchise/Kirby}}.

* HowWeGotHere: The comics slowly reveal how Kosmo and Nova are where they were in Level One. [[spoiler:Dr. Eros tricks Kosmo into not only to give Nova back as he was her creator, but also traveling to a set destination in space to do so. It was only when Dr. Eros launched a surprise attack on their ship did Kosmo figure out he was tricked and confessed to Nova, who responded by setting the ship to launch a wormhole at Dr. Eros gang. It was only due to Dr. Eros firing a shot from his ship before it gets sucked in does the game's plot kick off.]]

* ShoutOut: ''Plenty.''
