Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })IRIS is a solo project created by Will Ryan of DAGames. The project comprises of songs that aren't based on video games. The songs are meant to be symbolic of mental illness and how to tackle said illnesses. There is also a fictional universe to the project with each album telling a piece of a bigger complex storyline. The idea of IRIS was first introduced in the DAGames album "Heart of an Artist" that featured songs that weren't inspired by video games, though it wasn't as character oriented as the most recent IRIS albums.There are currently three IRIS albums, Heart of an Artist (2018)note (released under the DAGames label, unlike the rest which are released under the IRIS label, as it didn't exist yet), Goliath’s Throne (2019), and Dawn of the Dimetrix (2021). There was also a Dungeons & Dragons inspired prequel campaign, "IRIS: Jaws of Dawn", held on November 1, 2020 that can be found on YouTube with a companion soundtrack. A YouTube audio series from the perspective of the villain of Dawn of the Dimetrix, Abrahm Valentin, was released on May 6th, 2021 titled Valentin Renegade. A video explaining the lore of the IRIS and the Depths called, The Beginning of Behemoth was also released on July 24th 2021.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the now-disbanded Synth-Pop/Dark Wave duo Iris, comprised of Reagan Jones and Andrew Sega.

Deal with the Devil: In Jaws of Dawn, Father Tyrant makes a deal with Vyson Pavavorey, the ruler of the damned after having been banished there with his colony by Tyrant and Fate during a war, to bring his soldiers back to life so that they can defeat the Mothohive. Their price is that when Tyrant's firstborn dies, he will be sent to the damned to be tortured for eternity.

Blatant Lies: In Transmission 7, Abrahm shows off the BioBond (Jebodiah) to his audience. He tells them that Jebodiah "sacrificed [himself] to be part of the new beginning" when Abrahm actually shot Jebodiah and turned him into the BioBond against his will. He also tells them that the BioBond's siren is "merely a cry of joy", when it's actually a scream of pain.

Allegory
 IRIS (Music) / int_471c46f8
comment
Allegory: Alot of the plot points in the IRIS universe are allegories for things that happen in real life. The Dimetrix was created by Abrahm because he wanted to copy what the IRIS did. This is an allegory for bootlegging and plagiarism of people's creations. People will see others' creations and try to create a copy and pass it off as theirs but, it will never truly be as good as the original. All of the beasts from Jaws of Dawn. The Claustronoctus represents the fear of breathlessness, isolation, and limited space. Basically, claustrophobia. The Bipolisian represents the fear of your darkest side. Described as "one moment a Jekyll, the other a Hyde...this beast shows you that other side...causing a numerous amounts of emotional pain." The Anxosax represents the fear of loud, irritable noises, not being good enough for the world, or that the world is against you. The Paradigm Worms represent those who wish darkness and sadness upon you simply because they don't like you. The Grief represents the helpless reclue of the things you've lost and the grip that it has on you. The Mothohive represents all of these fears and feelings combined, forming a giant unholy abomination.

Bloody Horror: After Abrahm Valentin kills his brother, Jebediah Dumford, he experiments on him by taking out all of his organs and leaving nothing but his nervous system. He then puts him in a pool of his own blood and hooks him up to a satellite in the sky constantly feeding him information. The information isn't pleasant in the slightest.

Cut Song
 IRIS (Music) / int_94a22cf2
comment
Cut Song: Goliath's Throne was initially going to have a song called "Obsession" but, that was cut and rewritten as a Five Nights at Freddy's VR: Help Wanted song called "Parasite". A song entitled "Immature" that was going to be Heart of an Artist, but it was cut. It was later rewritten for Goliath's Throne, but it got cut once again. The song was then cancelled and some of the song's lyrics were reused for the bridge of "Rock Bottom". A song entitled "Bind the Bible" was going to be on the deluxe edition of Heart of an Artist, but that got cancelled. Later, it was going to be used for the delxue edition of Goliath's Throne, but that also got cancelled as well. In the end, the song was cancelled and it's lyrics were reused for "Peace Be Thy Name". A song entitled "Savage" was going to be on the deluxe edition of Goliath's Throne, but since that got cancelled, the song was rewritten as "I'll Find My Way".

Fate Worse than Death: After Jebodiah is shot by Abrahm, he is stripped to only a brain, eyes, and nervous system and turned into the BioBond, a central core for the Dimetrix. Not only is he fully awake and aware as the BioBond, but it also causes him immense pain that emits a terrifying siren when he "screams", and hes being feed tons of terrible information all the time. The "BioBond" song makes it very clear that he wants to die so the pain can stop.
