History Videogame / WelcomeToTheGameII

** Oh, and remember [[spoiler:The Doll Maker- visit his website, and you will encounter him as he forces you to find him another victim]].

* ControllableHelplessness: The intro sequence shows a "Dead or Not" stream of a woman describing her predicament, and a vote tally on the bottom of the page asking the viewer whether or not the woman should either die or live. Regardless of whether the player chooses "[[VideoGameCrueltyPotential Dead]] or [[VideoGameCaringPotential Not]]", [[HumansAreBastards the votes for the former will always dwarf that of the latter]]. [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], as the outcome of the vote hasn't yet been carried out, and goal of the game is to rescue this woman.
* TheCracker: This time around, it's the player who hacks people, either as contracts for [=DOSCoin=], or to get their Wi-Fi password. That doesn't stop rival hackers from targeting him though.

* {{Determinator}}: Clint ''will'' save Amalea, even if it means ruining a few lives, defending himself from home invaders and hackers, and becoming a official target on the police's hit list.

* DissonantSerenity: Even with the stream of Amalea playing, Adam is pretty calm about providing the JustifiedTutorial, which can come off as BlackComedy at first. [[spoiler: Turns out that's not coincidence, as he's pretty comfortable with what's going on, being the BigBad and all.]]
* DownerEnding: [[spoiler: At the end of the game, you're faced with two choices: live and let Amalea die, or exchange your life for hers.]]

* EpicFail: This universes equivalent to the Tor Browser doesn't seem to work very well; seeing as literally everyone is capable of tracking you down using your IP address (which is something an onion router is built specifically to prevent).

* FissionMailed: [[spoiler: Get to the tunnel you've been after all this time and you're kidnapped by the Noir girl. Then it's revealed you weren't killed; Adam just wants a word with you.]]

* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: As with the first game, all of this games villains get away with their horrid acts unhindered as far as the player is aware. As well, assuming the player triggered the dollmaker quest, you've successfully assisted him in kidnapping more girls of whom he will use for "transformation".]]

* MonsterMisogyny: Essentially all of the Deep Web content is men horrendously victimizing women in some way. The one man attempting to combat this misogyny - specifically in his rescue of Amalea - gets hunted by both the males and females of the Deep Web.

* MultipleEndings: After you somehow managed to find all the codes and meet the true mastermind in person, you're given 2 choices: [[spoiler: forget everything that happened and let Amalea die, or [[HeroicSacrifice take Amalea's place and get killed on the spot]]. As you can probably tell, neither options are good.]]

* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: [[spoiler:The Nympho is there in the ending. That said, she's the VillainProtagonist of the previous game]].

* NintendoHard: So hard in fact that even LetsPlay/{{Markiplier}} couldn't defeat it. The last part was a 4 hour livestream comprising only ''three'' attempts, and ends with him giving up and going onto the balcony to plug his new Drunk Minecraft charity stream.

* EpicFail: This universes equivalent to the Tor Browser doesn't seem to work very well; seeing as literally everyone is capable of tracking you down using your IP address(which is something an onion router is built specifically to prevent).

*** "I Love Cats" just sounds like a website by someone who likes to own cats as a pet, and the wiki description is just "Meow!" so it looks seemingly innocent... then you find out it's about a degenerate furry [[BestialityIsDepraved who has sex with his cats]].

* SequelDifficultySpike: The first game really only had a few mechanics (i.e. look out for kidnappers, hide when they're there, find codes in pages, and counter-hack). This game more than doubles that. You have to watch out for around five people out to hunt you (each with their own means to deter them), deal with power outages, traverse through a very large apartment to grab deliveries, check source codes, make money, and a few other things in addition to those that carried over from the first game.

* FridgeLogic: During the game the Noir will kill you if you happen to switch off too many lights in your adpartement. This seems random at first, but then [[spoiler:, in the ending, you learn that Clint has been recorded all the time and that whole ordeal was just for Adam's amusement. So it makes sense that Adam would just [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness order the Noir to finish you off if, by switching off the lights, you don't provide him a good show]]]].

* {{GIFT}}: Played with, in that this is the deep web and relatively few "normal" people have access to it. The opening scene with Amalea involves a vote for whether she should live or die, while she's visibly terrified and fleeing for her life. The vote is ''overwhelmingly'' for her to be killed, and the chat of the stream will be populated mostly with requests for body parts to be sent to them, or talking about how well they get off to what's going on. That being said, the game still provides some people who vote "live" and the chat will occasionally have messages like "contacting the police/FBI" or "you guys are sick" pop up, showing that EveryoneHasStandards.

The sequel to the 2016 ''VideoGame/WelcomeToTheGame'', developed by Creator/ReflectStudios and released in April 3. 2018.

* TheLopsidedArmOfTheLaw: neglecting to change your network every now and then will cause the police to track you down and [[DisproportionateRetribution send the SWAT team your way]]. Strangely enough, [[PoliceAreUseless calling the very same police to fend off the various lunatics that are out to get you is not an option]].

* WhamShot: The ending, which is kicked off when [[spoiler:you're jumped out of NO WHERE by Noir. You wake up in Adam's office, where he reveals he's the leader of Noir and the one behind Amalea's kidnapping. Not only that, however. He reveals Amalea isn't the victim being watched by thousands, YOU are. All of those security cameras around Clint's apartment were broadcasting him as he was hunted by the BigBadEnsemble in his hopeless mission to save Amalea. Also, just for added bonus, The Breather and The Nympho are there too.]]

* FridgeLogic: if you keep the lights off in your apartement for too long, the Noir will kill you. It seems random at first, but [[spoiler:makes more sense when you discover, during the ending, that Clint was being filmed the whole time for the amusement of Adam. So it's very likely possible that keeping the lights off would prompt Adam [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness to lose interest in the whole ordeal and order the Noir to just kill you]]]].

* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: When you're hiding, the enemies' AI is microphone-sensitive.

* FridgeLogic: if you keep the lights off in your apartement for too long, the Noir will you. It seems random at first, but [[spoiler:makes more sense when you discover, during the ending, that Clint was being filmed the whole time for the amusement of Adam. So it's very likely possible that keeping the lights off would prompt Adam [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness to lose interest in the whole ordeal and order the Noir to just kill you]]]].
