A post-apocalyptic horror Roguelike first made for the Sega Saturn, then ported to the Play Station. It was later remade for the Play Station 2 and the Wii, and then again for iOS. It was created by Sting, the developers of the Dept. Heaven series, and localized by Atlus.Baroque takes place in a post-apocalyptic future after a world-altering cataclysm called The Blaze caused The End of the World as We Know It. The only things left in this world are people who survived by clinging to their Baroques (a sort of crystallized ideal or self-image), and Meta-Beings whose mind, body, and souls have been warped by distortions.A young man suddenly finds himself in this wasteland, mute and without memories after an unspecified trauma. He is given a large shoulder-mounted cannon by a mysterious being known as Archangel, and told that if he wishes to find redemption for a grievous sin he committed in the past, he must travel down to the bottom floor of an Eldritch Location called the Neuro Tower and use the cannon to purify the insane Absolute God that resides there.The game operates similarly to Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, in that you are expected to die on your first few attempts to overcome the Neuro Tower, but each New Game Plus unlocks new scenes and reveals deeper mysteries to be solved. Even though you start each run at Lv.1 with none of your items, you can use the Consciousness Orbs scattered amidst the Neuro Tower to "store" items for future playthroughs: strategic use of this and the Item Crafting feature is the key to conquering the game's challenges. | |

Madness Mantra | |
| Baroque (Video Game) / int_141a6acb | comment |
Madness Mantra: The Absolute God chants "Don't go crazy, Don't go crazy, Don't go crazy, Don't go crazy...", nearly every time you approach her - for added effect, the subtitle for each repetition is placed at a random point on the screen. Turns out she's actually telling the protagonist not to go crazy. | |

The main character is the most human thing in the distorted world, everyone else (save the Absolute God) is distorted in various ways, and monsters roam freely. Then to make things more interesting, look at the ways you keep yourself alive/grow stronger - eat hearts/organs for your health, use parasites/injections/brandings on your equipment (including yourself), and make use of bones, torturers, disks... | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Baroque (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: Unless you're using a guide, your chances of unearthing the entire plot in-game are pretty slim. In fact, much like the Dept Heaven series, Baroque has a whole series sourcebook ("Baroque World Guidance") that discusses the plot and world-building in detail. Since it first went into print in 1998, though, good luck finding a copy. | |

The Virus | |
| Baroque (Video Game) / int_1c7555f1 | comment |
The Virus: Some of the Idea Sephirahs work like this, passing on particularly powerful emotions or desires to those who hold them. This is how you get rid of the Sentry Angel: by passing on Longneck's suicidal urges to him, and he's not the only character you can get rid of this way. Each Parasite box in your inventory will change another item into a Parasite Box every few seconds. | |

After the End | |
| Baroque (Video Game) / int_334e48a1 | comment |
After the End: And HOW? The only thing we know for sure is that something named "The Blaze" caused this, and somehow warped the world into what it is now. It turns out that the Archangel caused the Blaze by interrupting the Dabar Fusion between the Protagonist and the Absolute God, resulting in the world massively warping from the distortions caused by the Absolute God's presence. | |

However, by forming a consensus reality with the remaining Meta Beings and helping the Absolute God a frame of reference to avoid making reality more distorted, you essentially make lemonade out of lemons and give humanity a chance. | |

Early Installment Character-Design Difference | |
| Baroque (Video Game) / int_4348c929 | comment |
Early Installment Character-Design Difference: The remake altered the designs of all of the main characters to varying degrees. Alice still looks like herself, and the Archangel retains his short blonde hair and red eyes, albeit in a different style, with slightly different clothing and new wings. The Absolute God likely saw the most changes, as she looks almost nothing of her original design. | |

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist / Continuing is Painful: You're encouraged to die.

Surreal Horror | |
| Baroque (Video Game) / int_72d31973 | comment |
Surreal Horror: To put it mildly... The main character is the most human thing in the distorted world, everyone else (save the Absolute God) is distorted in various ways, and monsters roam freely. Then to make things more interesting, look at the ways you keep yourself alive/grow stronger - eat hearts/organs for your health, use parasites/injections/brandings on your equipment (including yourself), and make use of bones, torturers, disks... | |

God Is Evil | |
| Baroque (Video Game) / int_77473d35 | comment |
God Is Evil: Or at least is so insane that it's killing reality. Subverted; turns out that while the Absolute God is a Mad God, she's entirely well-intentioned and trying to somehow fix the world, but cannot do much about it - her Madness Mantra below is even trying to warn the protagonist that You Cannot Comprehend The True Form. The problems were caused by the Archangel removing her ability to recognize pain, and so completely took away her frame of reference for what is "normal" reality. | |

The Power of Lust: There's a brand that increases your strength when inflicted with the "Lust" status. Kinda creepy if you think about it. A few equippable items may be affected with Lust, which makes you unable to un-equip the item again. There's also certain items that make you resistant to Lust, but are similarly unable to be un-equipped by normal means. | |

Karma Houdini: Sure, The Archangel doesn't get what he wants in the end, but he isn't exactly punished for his crimes, either. In the original game and manga, at least, he's still impaled on the Consciousness Orb but it's not shown to be the case in the remake, where he seemingly somehow freed himself to meet the protagonist during the confrontation with the Absolute God. | |

And I Must Scream: In the real world, The Archangel is impaled on a Consciousness Orb in the Neuro Tower. He can’t pull himself off of it and remains suspended in the air in an awkward position that, according to the manga, hurts his neck. He also complains about the impaling hurting him in the game, but it's unclear whether this is a ploy to gain sympathy or if he's actually in pain. In any case, he's stuck there by himself and complains about being bored. | |

The Masochism Tango: A particularly squicky example is if you punch Alice, she'll say she doesn't mind if its you doing it. Given that her creation was to fill the void of the Protaganist, and the Absolute God (who's lost the ability to feel pain, ie Littles), it has a deeper meaning than it first sounds. | |

All for Nothing: The entire game becomes meaningless with every ending, as the protagonist always chooses not to save the world, no matter what you do. Also double for the Archangel, as he spent all that effort guiding and helping the protagonist only for him to betray him at the last second no matter what. It's probably a good thing, considering he only wanted to save the world for selfish reasons. | |

Character Level | |
| Baroque (Video Game) / int_c1c29f00 | comment |
Character Level: In a nutshell, you have two kinds: 'Normal' and 'Baroques', which stack together. Normal is pretty much as the trope describes, gaining new levels and Health stat increases by defeating monsters, though it resets with every Tower run. Baroques are a more permanent type, giving small boosts to hidden stats (up to a certain hard cap for each one), the effects of which are mostly notable overtime note Said stats are: Speed, how fast you move/attack; Luck, which affects crit rate for yourself and enemies; Attack, which affects combo/damage calculations for regular attacks (including fists); Throw, which affects throwing distance/damage; and Defense, which affects damage taken, HP/VT recovery amounts from items, along with their passive recovery/drain rates, respectively. Some of the Baroques are one-time-only, but at least half can be earned multiple times, and even if you achieve nothing special on any given run, you'll still get the consolation "Distant Spirit" Baroque (+1 to all hidden stats). | |

The Littles however are the embodiment of pure pain, stolen from the Absolute God... and the Protagonist was part of the interrupted Dabar Fusion with said deity. Some of the dialogue changes to reflect the things you do throughout the game: If you don’t talk to the Twisted Ones before approaching the Archangel, he’ll ask if you didn’t before dismissing it. His dialogue after this is slightly different too, and he’s more to the point. While you’re encouraged to die during your gameplay, the Archangel has different dialogue whenever you do, getting angrier and angrier at you everytime you talk to him again. After your 42nd death, he resorts to giving you the silent treatment. | |

Jerkass: The Archangel. He tries to hide it at first, but as the game goes on, it becomes clear that he doesn't actually care for the protagonist and is just using them to his own end. His dislike of the protagonist is more evident as the player begins to die, as he'll get angrier and angrier at them, even declaring that he'd kill them himself if he could. He's also extremely manipulative and convinces the protagonist that they're responsible for the state of the world, completely dismissing his own part in it. | |

Organ Drops : Your only way to survive is to eat the meat and hearts of monsters, which is already squicky in itself...and then you learn that they are actually humans deformed by their delusions... Becomes a greater Fridge Brilliance one you see that hearts gives you vitality. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential: The Twisted One's are harmless, but the player has the option to attack them anyway, which usually results in them begging you to stop. | |

Fun with Subtitles | |
| Baroque (Video Game) / int_fdb355db | comment |
Fun with Subtitles: Sometimes the subtitles do more than just appear at the bottom of the screen. A mechanical item-fusing robot thing likes to do subtitle crosswords, and the Absolute God's "don't go crazy!" mantra appears all over the screen. There's even a character in the Tower that has a head sticking out of them at a certain angle. Whenever the head speaks, the subtitles appear vertically on the side of screen. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You | |
| Baroque (Video Game) / int_ffd816e7 | comment |
Everything Trying to Kill You: Any and all Meta-Beings will attack you if they see you. The Protagonist isn't even safe outside of the Neuro Tower, as while there are a few low-level ones nearby to the Neuro Tower, but their Health/Vitality drains constantly no matter where you are. | |
