Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A two-season Point-and-Click Adventure flash game series based on the Cthulhu Mythos and developed by Sarbakan in 1998, Arcane follows the adventures of Prescott Bridgeman, Dr. Gregor MacDermoth and his daughter, Ophelia, a trio of paranormal investigators from The Roaring '20s.In the first season, The Miller Estate, they are called to the eponymous villa in the New England town of Duncan Creek, where a rash of mysterious disappearance — most notably of Alvin Carter, the last tenant — have been taking place. While there, they begin to realize that the cause of these disappearances is not of this world and have some sort of connection to a mysterious cult known as the Elder Star.The second season, The Stone Circle, is set in London, England, where Ophelia is invited to play her violin at the London Philharmonic Society, while Prescott is given a letter by a mysterious woman named Alicia Blackwood, who had previously been mentioned in the first season as an enemy of the Cardinal and ally of Alvin Carter, and is requested to retrieve a series of relics scattered across London before the Elder Star can find them.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Unfortunately, the series was Cut Short after the cliffhanger of the second season. The original host for the first season removed the game shortly after the second season's release, and Warner Bros removed The Stone Circle several years after, meaning the only ways to play the game now are through various random sites that unofficially host the game's episodes.The unusual nature of how the first season's files were hosted, however, means that the Miller Estate can no longer be played as originally intended on most of its host sites. On the original site, the flash and MIDI files would be embedded in a frame and call one another, creating the illusion of a single unified game on one page, with a main menu launching the episodes. Without these unifying components, only the actual gameplay segments of its four episodes are hosted now on most individual pages- the soundtrack, the episode menu, and the intro cinematics are missing from these sites, as well as the code required by the save game function. Season 2 suffered a similar but milder fate after the loss of its host site, with some assets (mainly lore sections) no longer viewable and save games no longer functional (however, music and cinematics were not missing in this case).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Luckily, a fan reconstruction of the unified version of each season is available, and can be played on Blue Maxima's Flashpoint, with menus, cinematics, lore sections, and save games all intact. The relevant assets (cinematics, menu, opening theme, and music) can all be found here individually, for the moment being. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Arcane – Online Mystery Serial (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Zig-zagged between the two seasons. The Miller Estate is more akin to a Lovecraft Mythos story, but is more one-dimensional and brief, plus generally better lit. On the other hand, The Stone Circle takes a lot of cues from Derleth with the Elder Gods doing more to help out the protagonists indirectly, but deals with heavier subject matter and darker consequences for clicking aimlessly too much, and the first episode starts out on a rainy night out by a dingy warehouse. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Arcane – Online Mystery Serial (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: In the first episode of the second season, a drunk guy threatens Prescott with a knife and tells him not to touch his stuff. Prescott takes his bottle of alcohol from him, and surprisingly doesn't get stabbed for doing so. In fact, the drunk guy immediately leaves (despite still demanding to get his booze back) and is never seen again. Well, technically, depending on the order you do things and how much you let the episode timer count down, you may see him again, though if you do, it doesn't end well for him. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Arcane – Online Mystery Serial (Video Game) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: The Great Old Ones, according to H. P. Lovecraft, are beyond terms such as good and evil, and are more amoral than anything. Here, they're explicitly described as "evil", and their only goal is to "restore their reign of chaos and terror." Although how much of this is just from the perception of humanity and the new gods is unclear. A variant is given for the Elder Sign. In both the works of Lovecraft and August Derleth, the Elder Sign is meant as protection against the Great Old Ones and their servants. In Arcane, it's the symbol of the Elder Star, and can be used to drive a person insane. | |

Downer Ending: Both seasons. After playing into the Cardinal’s hands both times, it appears that Failure Is the Only Option, although Ophelia doesn’t seem to think so. Mitigated by the Framing Device of the story, in which Ophelia's diaries are being read by a man in 1999 seeking to learn how the Elder Star was beaten the last time they appeared; because of this, it's a Foregone Conclusion that had the series continued the protagonists would have eventually prevailed, at least in the 1920s. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Arcane – Online Mystery Serial (Video Game) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early Installment Weirdness: Season 1 featured a system where, when playing as Prescott and Ophelia, the game would try and point you in the right direction by using their specialties (interactive elements would either result in beeps from Prescott's equipment or Ophelia's face would be overlaid on the screen, respectively). These cues were mostly dropped in Season 2. The setting is also set in one household, rather than across multiple locations in England, and the Game Over cutscenes are more elaborate. | |

Lovecraft Lite: Despite the Cardinal's insinuation that mankind has no free will and that Resistance Is Futile, the new gods — who had defeated the Great Ancients before the dawn of man — seem more than willing to help save humanity, albeit without direct intervention. The existence of the Framing Device shows that the Cardinal's winning streak did not last forever. And even in her old age, Ophelia certainly seems to believe that there's still hope for humanity. | |

Cosmic Horror Story | |
| Arcane – Online Mystery Serial (Video Game) / int_6a1c2a6 | comment |
Cosmic Horror Story: It’s based on the Cthulhu Mythos, so what else would you expect? Free will is likely an illusion, the "good" deities never directly intervene with the Cardinal's schemes (and what little they do to help is ultimately compatible with his plans), and the potential to Go Mad from the Revelation grows closer with each aimless click of the mouse. And that's not even saying anything of the mysterious, ever-present shadowy Eldritch Abomination that seeks to devour the protagonists. However, it’s not quite as bleak as the Lovecraft Mythos, and borrows more than a few ideas and images from the Derleth Mythos, so it could arguably be considered Lovecraft Lite. | |

The Ophelia | |
| Arcane – Online Mystery Serial (Video Game) / int_6d89ad1a | comment |
The Ophelia: Ophelia is, ironically, a downplayed example. She has psychic visions that are implied to be quite a burden on her and is mistaken for schizophrenic by her nurse in the present day, but she's actually just as sane as her companions. Her mother, as well, who was driven mad after witnessing an African tribe summon a terrifying monster implied to be Cthulhu. It’s pretty safe to say where, exactly, Ophelia received her gift. | |

He is chased up to the roof of the armored train car, and stands there while continually dodging Barnstable's attempts to slash at him with a knife and making no attempt to escape or fight back. It isn't until Ophelia decouples the train cars that Prescott finally knocks Barnstable out cold with a single punch and jumps to the next car. | |

How We Got Here | |
| Arcane – Online Mystery Serial (Video Game) / int_80251be3 | comment |
How We Got Here: In true Lovecraftian fashion. Both seasons have a young man who comes to visit an elderly Ophelia in the present day, seeking to learn how the Cardinal was beaten so he can stop a new threat that has arisen. She gives him her diary, which consists of the story as we know it. | |

Breather Episode | |
| Arcane – Online Mystery Serial (Video Game) / int_80a247a9 | comment |
Breather Episode: After the dark and claustrophobic second episode of The Stone Circle comes a relatively straightforward Stealth-Based Mission in which the player actually has the opportunity to dispose of some of the forces threatening them. Similarly, after the unusually action-packed and difficult climax of the fourth episode, the fifth has relatively few puzzles to solve and no additional threats beyond the usual timed mission setup. | |

Tome of Eldritch Lore: The Book of Seth in The Miller Estate, which gives instructions on how to defeat the Guardian. In The Stone Circle, Prescott stumbles upon the Trope Codifier itself, the Necronomicon. Turning the page results in an instant Brown Note and a game over. There is also the Book of Yhe, which has been lost to the past and explains how the new gods banished the Great Ancients and created the Talisman to aid humanity should they ever rise again. | |

Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves: Baroness Alicia Vonarburg, aka Alicia Blackwood, attempts to usurp the Cardinal as leader of the Elder Star by aiding Alvin Carter in the first season and later awakening and attempting to enslave Shub-Niggurath, spelling certain doom for humanity. Her victory is short-lived, as she melts after awakening him, and he consumes her blood. | |

Foreshadowing: If Ophelia looks out the window in Episode 2 of Season 1, a cave can be easily spotted. This cave is properly explored in the season finale. Season 2 drops a few hints at Baroness Vonaburg's true nature: in the first episode, Ophelia's diary notes that she felt there was something familiar about Baroness Vonaburg's writing, with Season 1 having featured a note by Alicia Blackwood, Vonaburg's real identity, and most damningly, by interacting with a picture frame in Episode 2, you find out Baroness Vonaburg's first name is Alicia, which isn't a coincedence. | |

Developers' Foresight: Some episodes' countdown animations have several variations depending on the player's current location and situation. For example, the first episode of the second season typically has the shadow kill the homeless drunk as it approaches, but it will spare him if the player has not already obtained the necessary item from interacting with him. | |

Adaptational Wimp: Shub-Niggurath. In most stories, Shubby is depicted as a cloudlike Great Old One (or Outer God) who can spawn an endless number of tentacled abominations at will. Here, he appears as a tall demon who was overpowered by a group of knights and had his dismembered remains scattered across England. Furthermore, he is subservient to the Talisman of Yhe. The Great Ancients as a whole count, too, as according to the Book of Yhe, they can also be subjugated or destroyed by the Talisman, whereas in most stories, they range from Nigh-Invulnerable to completely immortal. | |
