History VideoGame / PrincessRemedyInAWorldOfHurt

** [[spoiler:Opening the Super Chest results in all the chests within East and West Hurtland opening for you just so that you don't have to go backtracking to obtain the rest of the upgrades.]]

** [[spoiler:The Super Chest is specifically programmed to give you the appropriate pill upgrade should you have somehow managed to obtain a pill upgrade before opening it (as pill upgrades can only be obtained by opening chests, something which you specifically want to avoid in order to open the Super Chest).]]
* DiskOneNuke: [[spoiler:Opening the Super Chest]] nets you a free pill upgrade an area early, making the area a lot easier.

* GuideDangIt: [[spoiler:The existence of the "Super Chest" that allows one to obtain both the Disk One Nuke and the Infinity Plus One Sword. You can only open it if you had opened exactly 0 chests beforehand. Otherwise, it turns into the Jealous Chest and literally refuses to open for you.]]

* InfinityPlusOneSword: Frogs are this, only obtainable when you [[spoiler:open the Super Chest]]. They replace the Tiaras as being the last pill upgrade you can obtain in the game.

* LethalJokeItem: The highest upgrade for Remedy's pills, obtainable only by [[spoiler:opening the Super Chest and collecting the rest of the pill upgrades]], are "Frogs".

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: [[spoiler:The ailment that affected the prince is surprisingly very dark for an otherwise light-hearted game. That Guy even tries to taunt Remedy by not only rhetorically asking if "rage, loss, and sorrow" can be cured, but also by stating, "It's pain that keeps us alive. Your healing is not needed in this world!" Not to mention the Sad Battle Music that plays while you're fighting it.]]

* SchoolgirlLesbians: Remedy and her friend Frallan are implied to have been this while in school together.

* DummiedOut: Each and every single character has a pose for when they're sick even if they start out fine.

** [[spoiler:Opening the Super Chest results in all the chests within East and West Hurtland opening for you just so that you don't have to go backtracking to obtain the rest of the upgrades]].
** In the PlayableEpilogue, [[spoiler:The game allows you to see what an NPC has to say before you choose them for marriage if you hadn't done so beforehand]].
* BossInMookClothing: [[spoiler:The Heartbreak, only fightable when you try and cure Frallan. They're fast, shoot bullets constantly and has the most HP out of all the ailments in the game (minus the final boss).]]

** [[spoiler:The end text adjusts itself appropriately should you choose to marry the Dark Lord, the Apathetic Frog or Frallan]].
** [[spoiler: The Super Chest is specifically programmed to give you the appropriate pill upgrade should you have somehow managed to obtain a pill upgrade before opening it (as pill upgrades can only be obtained by opening chests, something which you specifically want to avoid in order to open the Super Chest).]]
* DiskOneNuke: [[spoiler: Opening the Super Chest]] nets you a free pill upgrade an area early, making the area a lot easier.

* ElaborateEqualsEffective: Justified in that Remedy's upgrades are to better medical supplies, at least until her last upgrade, which is [[CoolCrown tiaras]] (or [[InfinityPlusOneSword frogs]] if you [[spoiler: managed to open the Jealous Chest]]).
* ExtremeOmnisexual: [[spoiler: You can choose to marry ''any'' NPC at the end of the game, regardless of gender, species, status as an animate or inanimate object, or blood relation.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: You can encounter the Apathetic Frog within the Black Hole. Notice the word "Apathetic" in its name. [[spoiler: The manifestation of Apathy, which is part of the ailment the prince is affected by, is a frog's head]].
* GayOption: The player has the option to [[spoiler:pursue any NPC in the game as a marriage partner, regardless of gender, family relation or even species.]]
* TheGoomba: Breadcrumbs. They are the only enemy in the game without an attack pattern on normal difficulty and they goes down in one hit regardless of whether or not Remedy had upgraded her pills.
* GuideDangIt: [[spoiler: The existence of the "Super Chest" that allows one to obtain both the Disk One Nuke and the Infinity Plus One Sword. You can only open it if you had opened exactly 0 chests beforehand. Otherwise, it turns into the Jealous Chest and literally refuse to open for you]].

* HeKnowsAboutTimedHits: Several [=NPCs=] within the game, most of them within the Saturnian Palace but also at least one within Hurtland proper, explain the controls for the game. Lampshaded if you [[spoiler:marry one of them as he specifically calls himself the "tutorial guy" when he remarks about his marriage]].

* InvincibleMinorMinion: The Hypesnakes, appearing only in the Reallyjoel's Dad difficulty level, are a parody of this: a horde of them appear after a few seconds pushing Remedy back once they appear on screen. They have 10 million hit points (according to the game's code) and will kill Remedy in {{one hit|KO}} should they come into contact with her. The Apathetic Frog can also be seen within said battles, but given that he's programmed as an indestructible block...

* LikeParentLikeSpouse: [[spoiler: It's possible to invoke this by choosing Queen Amelia, Princess Remedy's mother, as Remedy's spouse (much to Queen Amelia's bewilderment). Only possible to do so once you received 100% Completion.]]

* {{Retraux}}: The graphics are highly reminiscent of that of the UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum[[note]]Although WordOfGod states that the artist wasn't aiming for a specific system[[/note]] and even mimics its limitations to some extent. The music sound effects and the music, however, are reminiscent of the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]].
* SadBattleMusic: [[spoiler: The final boss is accompanied by this in order to show how vile it is compared to the rest of the other characters.]]

* ShoutOut: Some [=NPCs=] you encounter just before entering Hurtland are named, [[VideoGame/{{Iji}} Ron, Doc, Becker, and Plait]]

* SilentProtagonist: Downplay in that there is only one time you get to see Princess Remedy speak within the game--that's when [[spoiler: you choose to marry an empty chest during the Playable Epilogue]].

* StationaryEnemy: There's one each world, except world 5:

** 2: Flames, whose script comments say "sit still, fire"

* TakeAThirdOption: It's possible to invoke this by [[spoiler: choosing to marry an empty chest within the Playable Epilogue. Doing so allows you to see Remedy's one line in the entire game.]]

* UnwinnableJokeGame: Like all of Remar's games since ''VideoGame/{{Iji}}'', this game has a "[[MemeticBadass Reallyjoel's Dad]]" difficulty level unlocked by holding right on the difficulty select screen for five seconds. It becomes pretty obvious that it's this trope once you noticed the fact that the first Heart gate now requires an infinite amount of Hearts in order to unlock, but that's not the only thing that makes this difficulty level unique... (This is lampshaded by, among a few other [=NPCs=] within this mode, Queen Amelia[[note]]The one who sent Remedy to Hurt Land[[/note]] by them directly stating that this mode's impossible for her to complete and that she should've picked an "easier difficulty").
* VisibleSilence: The only dialogue ever given by the Apathetic Frog who doesn't have a care in the world.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: [[spoiler: The ailment that affected the prince is surprisingly very dark for an otherwise light-hearted game. That Guy even tries to taunt Remedy by not only rhetorically asking if "rage, loss and sorrow" can be cured, but also by stating, "It's pain that keeps us alive. Your healing is not needed in this world!" Not to mention the Sad Battle Music that plays while you're fighting it.]]

* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: The main character's a princess in spite of her appearance.

* TheCameo: Hypesnakes originally appeared within a small game Daniel made in the past. They are the {{Title Character}}s of said game. [[VideoGame/IttleDew Ittle Dew and Tippsie]] are also NPCs that Remedy can heal.

* TheCameo: Hypesnakes originally appeared within a small game Daniel made in the past. They are the {{Title Character}}s of said game.

* RegeneratingHealth: Happens during healing encounters whenever Remedy isn't taking damage.
