Beyond: Two Souls is the third installment in Quantic Dream's "interactive movie" game series, following their Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy in some countries) and Heavy Rain. Its story, covering the span of sixteen years (and wholly unrelated to the two aforementioned games), centers on a young woman named Jodie Holmes (portrayed by Elliot Pagenote Page is still credited under his previous name since the game and its remastered editions were released while he was still presenting as female) who tries to uncover the mystery of a strange poltergeist-like presence serving as her protector. Willem Dafoe stars as Nathan Dawkins, a researcher who serves as Jodie's surrogate father. The central topic of the game is what happens to one after death. Like its immediate predecessor, Beyond: Two Souls used to be a PlayStation 3 exclusive, though it received an Updated Re-release for PlayStation 4 in November 2015 and a release for PC in July 2019.See also KARA for the tech demo produced in preparation for this game. | |

Dashed Plot Line | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_10aef86b | comment |
Dashed Plot Line: The story consists of scenes from three main periods of Jodie's life: her troubled childhood, rebellious teen years, and her work for the CIA as an adult. The latter part takes up most of the game, but there are smaller Time Skips between scenes in it, such as the three months Jodie spends in a coma and, judging by her respective hair lengths, at least a year between her escape from the CIA and the reunion with Cole. The game also features a Distant Finale in the form of a vision Jodie has, which she claims will come to pass in a number of years. | |

Far East | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_1111322f | comment |
Far East: Republic of Kazirstan, clearly meant to represent either China or North Korea, while curiously at the same time being a -stan. If the rift map is any indication, it is located in Heilongjiang, a province in northeast China. The soldiers there also seem to be speaking Mandarin Chinese. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed: The Somali warlord Gemaal Sheik Sharif strongly resembles Somalia's seventh president, Sharif Sheikh Ahmed. As it turns out, the similarity provides some Foreshadowing as to Sharif's true character; like his real-life counterpart, he's an elected leader who's trying to bring peace to his embattled country. The CIA tells Jodie otherwise to manipulate her into assassinating him. | |

Monster and the Maiden: Jodie has been bound to her Guardian Entity, Aiden, since birth. She's frequently frustrated with his overprotectiveness, but is ultimately happy that she has him to protect her. Near the end of the game, it's revealed that Aiden is actually the spirit of Jodie's stillborn twin brother. | |

Dressing as the Enemy: Jodie and Ryan infiltrate the Kazirstan underwater base dressed up in stolen uniforms. Since the uniforms feature heavy coats and hats, their deception looks convincing enough to get them inside the base... at least until Jodie collapses after Aiden hits the containment field. | |

Ding-Dong-Ditch Distraction: Aiden does this to aggravate Jodie in "The Dinner," ringing the doorbell so that she panics and assumes Ryan is early. If Jodie steps outside even after seeing the hall is empty, he slams the door and locks it behind her, which forces her to use her own psychic abilities to unlock it again. | |

Underestimating Badassery: Many people throughout the story attempt to mess with Jodie. Little do they know that they'll then have to deal with Aiden... This trope reinforces itself after Jodie takes her CIA training. After that point, she can do a lot of damage, even without Aiden. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: There are six endings in the game: the bad end if you fail the last QTE, Jodie is killed before deactivating the condenser and an apocalypse follows; "Chose Death" sees Jodie voluntarily leaving for the Infraworld rather than be separated from Aiden. "Chose Life" is further separated into four endings: in "Ryan", Jodie makes up with Ryan; in "Jay", she returns to the Navajo farm and starts a relationship with Jay; in "Alone", she breaks up with Ryan and lives alone, wandering through the world and looking for ghosts; and in "Zoey", she lives with the survivors of the "Homeless" chapter and Tuesday's daughter. In a less glaring example, the looming Beyond ending also differs slightly, depending on which of the supporting characters live or die prior to the Black Sun's destruction. Shimasani (the old Navajo grandma) will always be there as her death is unavoidable, but she can also be joined by her son Paul, the two hobos Walter and Jimmy, Jodie's mother, Cole and Ryan. Facilitating this ending is required for an achievement, though a serious case of Guide Dang It!, especially when it comes to getting Ryan killed. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
One achievement requires the player to kill off every single character that can be killed, then let Jodie join them in the Beyond. While most of the deaths are fairly obvious and easy to engineer, getting Ryan killed can only be done by failing to talk Dawkins down when Jodie meets him in the Black Sun chamber, then resisting the ingrained reflex to throttle him with Aiden as soon as the controls switch to the latter. Only then does Ryan intervene by Taking the Bullet meant for Jodie and dying in the process. | |

Soft Glass | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_1b4ead2d | comment |
Soft Glass: During "The Condenser", when Jodie smashes through a glass window to escape from a small army of possessed scientists. Justified: it is incredibly cold in the room, and glass becomes more brittle in the cold.note Glass contracts when cooled down, forming tiny cracks and lowering its structural integrity—so with enough desperation, you can break through a sheet that big with a body slam. | |

Pay Evil unto Evil: Aiden is prone to this, in regards to those to antagonize or try to harm Jodie. One particular example has him tormenting and potentially murdering a group of Jodie's would-be rapists by either strangling them one by one or possessing the bartender and making him perform a Psychic Assisted Murder-Suicide. | |

Unreveal Angle: At the end of the game Jodie finally learns that Aiden is really her stillborn twin brother and meets him face to face in the Infraworld. The way the camera is framed prevents the viewer from seeing his face.note However, hacks of the game show his model to be almost identical to Jodie's bald-headed look. With them being twin siblings, this should be unsurprising. | |

Foregone Victory: With the idea of more organic failure states, there is no way to get an actual game over. If Jodie fails or gets captured, all that happens is an alternate escape scenario takes place which puts you back on the plotted line. You will beat the game. It is, however, possible to fail the last Quick Time Event and receive a bad ending. | |

Cluster F-Bomb: Jodie and Ryan tend to carpet-bomb the scenery in Fs whenever things get really messy. It's especially noticeable during "The Mission" when Jodie has to escape from vengeful African militias and said soldiers hose the building she just sought shelter in with automatic weapons. | |

Teens Are Monsters: In one level, Jodie attends a birthday party, but after enjoying herself for a bit, the kids berate her for the old Edgar Allan Poe book she gives as a birthday present, then gang up on her, with one calling her a slut and going so far as to say that she only invited Jodie because her mother made her do it, and lock her into a cupboard under the stairs. She gets out with Aiden's help, and can get her revenge moments later. | |

Noodle Incident: We see all the really important parts of Jodie's life, but anything else is relegated to exposition. In particular, we don't know how (or why) she became attracted to Ryan. This actually wasn't supposed to be as much of a Noodle Incident as it ended up being — there were two additional chapters that took place during Jodie's years in the CIA, which would have given her relationship with Ryan a more natural progression. The chapter names exist in the game files, but most of the content related to them was purged. | |

But Thou Must! | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_504e271f | comment |
But Thou Must!: Due to the "interactive story" nature of the game, some situations always play out the same: "The Experiment" always ends up in a panicked Cooldown Hug from Nathan, no matter how obediently you try to play Aiden. This was fixed in the PS4 version, with Kathleen being much less shaken and Cole simply telling Jodie that the experiment is over, although Jodie's "It'll never be over" line remains. "The Party" will have Jodie locked under the stairs in the end, no matter your choices. The optional element is whether or not Jodie decides to get revenge on her bullies. In "Like Other Girls", Jodie must always possess Cole to escape from her confinement. However, she can fail to sneak out of the facility afterwards. In "Hunted", it doesn't matter if Jodie is arrested, even if she gets caught multiple times. She'll always end up stealing a motorcycle to get through a police roadblock, and driving the stolen motorcycle into a town. The only difference is that Aiden will have to help her break free if she gets caught. In "Homeless," Jodie will always end up in a coma and be separated from the homeless group. "Black Sun" has Jodie unable to refuse to be a conduit for Nathan's family again. Even if she tells Nathan that she refuses, Nathan pleads with her and she reluctantly agrees. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: The kids at the birthday party turn on Jodie and lock her in the closet simply because she brought an Edgar Allan Poe book as a gift. Even if the gift idea demonstrates how out of touch Nathan is with kids Jodie's age, the book is very rare and, if nothing else, was probably worth a lot of money. In retaliation, Jodie is able to kill them all by setting the house on fire which seems a bit harsh considering they only bullied her. While living on the streets, Jodie can beat up a bunch of thugs that are beating up Stan. They respond later by burning down the building that the group of hobos are staying in. If Jodie escapes the building, the thugs return and hit her twice in the back of the head with a steel bat, putting her into a coma. | |

| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_5a22609e | comment |
Creator Thumbprint: The female main character (Jodie) having at least one fanservicey Shower Scene. However, Jodie's shower scenes are much less exposed than previous examples. A friendly black orderly type character similar to Barney from The Silence of the Lambs (Cole). Flashbacks to childhood that reveal important plot points and character motivations. Main characters have sex in questionable circumstances. | |

Containment Field | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_62c1b7cd | comment |
Containment Field: The Chinese underwater base has an energy field around the interdimensional portal to contain the entities surrounding it. Unfortunately for the protagonists, this also has the effect of keeping Aiden out, and causing Jodie to lose her mind control over the base commander. The Black Sun condenser has a larger containment field. When Nathan deactivates it, the entire facility becomes a hunting ground for hostile entities. By the time of "Black Sun," the DPA has also developed containment field belts. When worn, the belts generate an energy field around the wearer, protecting them from entity attacks. However, the belts don't make the wearers invulnerable to the entities, and they aren't immune to malfunctioning; Cole is severely injured and may be killed, and Jodie's belt shorts out after she and Ryan are attacked. In the future, Jodie and/or Zoey are shown wearing containment field belts, indicating the technology has improved and become more common. | |

Forgot About His Powers | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_650a309b | comment |
Forgot About His Powers: There are numerous cases where Aiden's powers would come in handy, but his potential isn't even acknowledged. Despite being capable of messing around with objects without Jodie's involvement, he will never attempt to disarm people threatening Jodie with a weapon. His ability to strangle or possess people is arbitrarily limited whenever it would prove useful. At the Navajo ranch, Aiden is inexplicably restricted from passing through the walls; however, this might be justified since it's mentioned that the ranch walls are warded to keep spirits out. | |

Our Ghosts Are Different | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_66479d0 | comment |
Our Ghosts Are Different: Spectral beings such as Aiden are simply referred to as "entities" in-game. They are invisible and intangible, can possess people, and exert limited telekinesis. Oh, and the nasty ones appear as Living Shadows with Combat Tentacles, Glowing Eyes of Doom, Throat Lights, and More Teeth than the Osmond Family. We never really get to find out what benevolent entities such as Aiden look like when viewed by the naked eye because all of Aiden's cutscenes and gameplay take place through his eyes. Drawings of the more benevolent entities depict them as floating masses of energy with glowing eyes, and it is implied they have no defining features. | |

Optional Sexual Encounter | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_66b90214 | comment |
Optional Sexual Encounter: Jodie can have sex with Ryan during "The Dinner" chapter, but it's dependent on a few things. If Aiden interrupts the date too many times, Ryan will leave early, upsetting Jodie and preventing them from hooking up. Whether Jodie was assaulted in "Like Other Girls" or not is also important here: if she was not assaulted or never went to the bar, she is open to sex with Ryan if the date reaches that point. If she was assaulted, she breaks down crying as they start getting intimate. | |

Driven to Suicide: Jodie can attempt this twice, once in "The Mission" and again in "Homeless". The first time it's a case of Better to Die than Be Killed, but the second time, she's heavily depressed and exhausted. Both times, Aiden uses his powers to stop her. This can also happen to Nathan if you successfully talk him down. He realizes what he's done and kills himself to be reunited with his family. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
In a less glaring example, the looming Beyond ending also differs slightly, depending on which of the supporting characters live or die prior to the Black Sun's destruction. Shimasani (the old Navajo grandma) will always be there as her death is unavoidable, but she can also be joined by her son Paul, the two hobos Walter and Jimmy, Jodie's mother, Cole and Ryan. Facilitating this ending is required for an achievement, though a serious case of Guide Dang It!, especially when it comes to getting Ryan killed. | |

Leaving him behind results in Cole's death, but going back and completing the following QTEs results in Cole telling Jodie that his wounds are too great for him to continue. Notably, Ryan at first elects to leave Cole behind, but if Jodie turns back, he comes to her aid immediately. | |

Shower Scene: There are two shower scenes in the game with Jodie that are most notable for the resulting real-life controversy. The first is in the "Navajo" chapter in an outdoors shower in the desert and the second in "The Dinner" as she prepares for her date with Ryan. Nothing explicit is visible in the game proper, but a player who had access to the source code managed to manipulate the camera freely during the scenes and discovered that Jodie is fully modeled with visible nipples and genitalia. Once an uncensored version of the shower scenes were released, Elliot Page threatened to sue Sony since he had never agreed to be featured nude. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Under the CIA's orders, Jodie unwittingly assassinates a democratically elected president of a war-torn African country, believing him to be a warlord, which sparks outrage among the locals and the international community. | |

How We Got Here: Layered within itself. The story starts with Jodie surrounded by a mysterious light and trying to piece her memories together. The first memory she accesses is heavily lined with flashbacks and makes no sense until the player goes through several other chapters. | |

Psychic Powers | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_874176be | comment |
Psychic Powers: Jodie can see spirits and act as a conduit for them, allowing them to communicate with the living. She also displays an ability to glean information by touching objects, and with help from Aiden she can read the memories of the deceased. There are also occasions where she sees the future in her dreams, and there is one instance where she apparently takes control of Aiden to force him to open a door after he locks her out (accompanied by the aforementioned Psychic Nosebleed). Aiden can telekinetically move objects and possess others, as well as other Poltergeist abilities. He also appears to be able to communicate directly with Jodie through Telepathy. In a later chapter it is revealed that Jodie's biological mother had telekinetic powers. | |

Eldritch Abomination: The dark entities. All that's known about them is that they come from deep within the Infraworld, and that there's different types. The weakest variety resemble living shadows with Combat Tentacles, but some have more unique appearances and abilities: Ye'iitsoh can create sandstorms and looks like a monstrous, legless skeleton with a fanged mouth, claws, and glowing yellow eyes. | |

She proceeds to throw a tantrum, play loud guitar music to annoy Cole, and use Aiden to break stuff. When that fails, she decides to use Aiden to possess Cole and have him sneak her out of the facility. | |

Reed Richards Is Useless | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_8b221a63 | comment |
Reed Richards Is Useless: In the 'Alive' endings, Jodie is shown as living moderately well, despite her/Aiden's ability to cure drug addiction in the space of a few minutes. The fact that it'd be both ethical and extremely profitable to sell her abilities at, say, rehab clinics is never brought up. It's justified, though, in that the 'alive' endings have her believe Aiden to be gone for good for a long while. In addition, Jodie just wants to be left alone, especially after all the shit and abuse she has gone through by that point. If she sold herself out as a miracle healer, she'd not only draw a crapton of unwanted attention but would probably also reignite all the fear and prejudice she already had to put up with her entire life. | |

Anachronic Order | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: The narrative is presented this way, with Jodie attempting to recall her memories in the proper order. The epilogue justifies this: when Jodie briefly enters the Infraworld in "Black Sun" and loses her tether to Aiden, her memories are scrambled. In the endings where Jodie is alive, she is inspired to write her story on paper to preserve her memories. If Jodie is dead, her soul shares her memories with Zoey in order to prepare her for the future. The PS4 and PC versions give the player the option to play the game in a mostly chronological order. | |

"The Mission", in which Jodie assassinates who she is led to believe is an African warlord, but finds out that he was actually the democratically elected President, who many believed was the last hope for peacefully ending the years of conflict that had ravaged his country. Jodie is absolutely devastated and furious about this revelation and that, combined with Ryan lying to her (especially if she began a romance with him) cause her to go on the run as a CIA fugitive. | |

While Ryan mingles with the crowd, Jodie excuses herself to the restroom and is required to use Aiden's powers to break into the sheik's office undetected. | |

Apocalypse How | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How: And all because the military wanted a new toy... One of Jodie's premonitions heavily implies at least a Class 2. someone (presumably the CIA) continued to experiment with condenser technology and opened a giant portal to the Infraworld, resulting in the world being overrun by hostile entities. Jodie and/or Zoey are seen preparing to battle the ghostly invaders. Failing the final QTE sequence in "Black Sun" results in an outright Class X. With Jodie dead and the condenser still active, the Infraworld overwhelms the physical world. The realms of life and death are merged into one unrecognizable hellscape where the tortured souls of humanity (including Jodie's) wander alone for eternity. Depending on how encompassing the Infraworld is, this might even escalate all the way to Class X-4 or more. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The player can see Nathan's family in a photograph on his desk in "First Interview". If Jodie agrees to draw Aiden when prompted, the camera frames her, the family photo, and the drawing of Aiden next to each other. This foreshadows Nathan seeking out Jodie and Aiden again, believing that they are the key to getting his family back. When Jodie visits the mental hospital, Aiden can go into several rooms and be confronted by mental patients who can see him; one addresses Jodie directly, telling her to be prepared to sacrifice her life to save the world. Depending on your choices, she can end up doing exactly that. Aiden can also find the lab where Nathan is keeping his wife and daughter captive before this is revealed to Jodie and the player. Shortly after Nathan first loses his family, Cole explains to a young Jodie that he "loved his wife and daughter more than anything in the world". This becomes literal in "Black Sun", where he proves himself willing to deactivate the containment field around the Black Sun rift in the hope of being reunited with them, even though he knows that doing this would likely cause the apocalypse. | |

Evil Is Not a Toy: The CIA repeatedly attempts to open rifts to the Infraworld in order to harness the power of the dark entities for military purposes. Each time, it backfires horribly and Jodie has to step in to stop it. Judging by Jodie's premonitions in the Distant Finale, they still haven't learned. The Navajo ancestors summoned a hostile spirit to kill the white men. After it was done with them, the spirit turned against its summoners. | |

Mood Whiplash: In the Anachronic Order, the chapter where Ryan rather heartlessly takes Jodie away to the CIA academy is immediately followed by a chapter where she's eagerly arranging a dinner date with him. | |

Aura Vision: Aiden can see glowing auras around people. They are color-coded, indicating how Aiden can affect them. Additionally, the bonuses that can be found throughout the game appear as glowing blue wisps. In one of the endings, Zoey also mentions having this ability. | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Zig-Zagged, unlike previous Quantic Dream games. Anybody that can get away with doing bad things is a player choice, except for: The attempted rapists of Jodie at the bar level, who are implied to do this regularly, and they only get their comeuppance at the cost of traumatizing Jodie due to the attempted rape. The thugs who beat up Stan for fun, subsequently set fire to the building where Tuesday has just given birth, and put Jodie in a coma seem to get away with their evil deeds at first, but they are captured by the police soon afterwards due to incriminating evidence: the gasoline odor on their clothes and their self-filmed footage of them beating her. General McGrath, for his part, earns a solid punch to the face from Ryan for attempting to put Jodie in a permanent coma as well as trying to "conquer" the Infraworld despite the apocalyptic levels of danger involved, but he survives the events of "Black Sun" thanks to the efforts of Jodie and her friends. The epilogues heavily imply that he and the CIA are still hard at work on trying to fully access the other side, having learned nothing from the experience or the numerous deaths caused by their research. To a greater extent, while some souls linger in reality for a number of reasons, most of those who die seem to pass on directly to the Beyond, a realm apparently separate from the Infraworld that is portrayed as a paradise without limits. The majority of the dead apparently end up in what is essentially heaven, regardless of how good or evil they may have been in life. | |

And I Must Scream | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_a8a04f6f | comment |
And I Must Scream: Jodie discovers that the CIA did this to her real mother, Norah Gray. After Jodie's birth, the CIA wanted to silence her, so they injected her with drugs to put her into a permanent catatonic state. General McGrath later attempts to do the same thing to Jodie, since he fears what someone with her powers could do in the afterlife. Nathan builds a machine that traps his deceased wife and daughter's souls between worlds until he can find a way to communicate with them again. When Jodie channels Helen at his insistence, she discovers that their souls are in constant pain, with Helen pleading for Nathan to release them. Nathan refuses to believe her and claims that Jodie is lying to him. In the worst of the Multiple Endings, achieved by letting Jodie die before the Black Sun condenser is shut down, this happens to not only Jodie, but all of humanity. The Infraworld has overwhelmed the world of the living, and all life has been extinguished. Jodie and all other humans are left as disembodied souls drifting alone and aimlessly in a cold, lightless, endless quasi-hell for all eternity. The despondent tone in which she narrates her horrible fate will make you regret triggering this ending because it's all your fault. | |

Agents Dating: Jodie and Ryan fall in love while working for the CIA and go on a date in "The Dinner". Their relationship falls apart after she discovers that he lied to her about her mission in Somalia, and she behaves icily towards him when they're forced to work together again. However, she also has the option to forgive him, and one of the Multiple Endings has them rekindle their relationship. | |

Three-Month-Old Newborn: Played with; Jodie helps a pregnant woman give birth in the "Homeless" chapter, and part of the mission involves snipping the umbilical cord. However, the baby is completely clean. Averted in a later flashback, where pre-birth Jodie is sufficiently... off in her proportions. | |

Chekhov's Skill: Played with. If the game is played in Anachronic Order, Jodie's guitar skill in "Homeless" seems to come out of nowhere if she chooses to play the guitar to earn money. In chapters that chronologically take place earlier in the story, however, Jodie can practice her guitar in her room. | |

Jodie can see spirits and act as a conduit for them, allowing them to communicate with the living. She also displays an ability to glean information by touching objects, and with help from Aiden she can read the memories of the deceased. There are also occasions where she sees the future in her dreams, and there is one instance where she apparently takes control of Aiden to force him to open a door after he locks her out (accompanied by the aforementioned Psychic Nosebleed). | |

Be Careful What You Wish For: Jodie always wanted to be free of Aiden and be normal. If one chooses the "Life" ending, she gets her wish, and realizes that she is completely miserable and lost without him, feeling as though a part of her has been cut away. Ultimately subverted in three versions of the ending: for the "Ryan" choice, while Jodie is relaxing on the beach Aiden rolls a coconut over to her and scribbles the message "Still Here" in the sand; for the "Jay" choice, while Jodie is checking the mirror after making love to Jay, Aiden fogs the mirror and writes "Still Here"; and for the "Alone" choice, while Jodie sits in a hotel room watching T.V. Aiden turns off the lights, statics the T.V., fogs it and writes "Still Here". | |

This Is My Human: Perhaps the closest equivalent to Aiden's opinion of Jodie. He frequently disagrees with her, is distrustful of all other humans, and makes it clear several times that he follows her directions because he wants to, not because he has to. But he is deeply protective of her, and cares for her like a friend. Or, more accurately, a brother. It's likely that, never being born, he never learned how to be an actual brother to Jodie, and the relationship they have now is the closest approximation of it he can find. | |

Ghostly Chill: Besides messing with electronic devices, another way for ghosts to make their presence known to the living is by making the air cold so people's breath will make visible steam. | |

Shout-Out | |

Shout-Out: David Cage named Jodie after none other than Jodie Foster. The party Jodie attends is for a girl named Kirsten, a name heard previously in Indigo Prophecy. If Ryan loses his eye during the interrogation scene, he resembles Nick Fury in "Black Sun" given his looks and occupation. | |

Necromantic | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_c81e6bf8 | comment |
Necromantic: Nathan Dawkins slowly becomes obsessed with bringing his wife and daughter back from the dead after he lost them in a tragic car accident. He eventually found a way to partially phase them back into the mortal world, which clearly left them in a state of constant agony, but he's too delusional to admit this to himself even after Jody uses her powers to let him talk to them. He then decides to shut off the containment field on the Condenser, which would cause The End of the World as We Know It by merging the realm of the dead with that of the living. | |

What the Hell, Hero? | |

What the Hell, Hero?: "Alone" has this if the player decides to use Aiden to start choking Jodie's foster father. He runs out of the room screaming that she's a monster, while her foster mother who was nothing but supportive and loving to her can only stare at her in horror before running out after him. "Like Other Girls" can be ended prematurely if Jodie fails to get past the guards with the possessed Cole, or she decides to leave the bar before things go south. Nathan then gives Jodie an angry lecture about the danger she could have put both herself and Cole in with her actions. Since it's possible for Jodie to experience an attempted rape in this level, it turns out he was right. | |

Failing the final QTE sequence near the Black Sun leads to a far worse one: Jodie dies, the Infraworld overwhelms and annihilates the physical world including everyone in it, and Jodie is left as a tortured soul in a hellish purgatory, alone and haunted by her failure to save the world for all eternity. | |

Sympathetic P.O.V.: Done rather cleverly in "The Dinner". For most of the game you can switch between Jodie and Aiden at will to accomplish several objectives, making them a perfect team. In this chapter, this interactivity is dropped so you control either Jodie or Aiden in sequence. Subsequently, from Jodie's POV Aiden looks like an obsessive stalker trying to prevent her from having her own life, while from Aiden's POV Jodie looks like she's callously ignoring the soul who can't help being eternally tied to her. | |

Tyrannicide | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_f2802897 | comment |
Tyrannicide: The CIA sends Jodie on a mission to eliminate a tyrannical warlord in a war-torn African country. After she completes the mission, she learns that the man she killed was actually a democratically elected president who was seen as the last hope for his country to ever achieve peace and stability. She doesn't take the news well. | |

Mercy Kill | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_f3626b09 | comment |
Mercy Kill: You have the option to kill Jodie's irrevocably brain-dead mother when Jodie goes to see her. Killing Nathan as Aiden during "Black Sun" also qualifies, considering that he's gone completely insane due to his grief. | |

Together in Death | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_f6624c30 | comment |
Together in Death: If Jodie convinces Nathan to back down in the climax, he chooses to commit suicide instead and is then reunited with the souls of his dead wife and daughter before moving on to the Infraworld. This option is also available to Jodie at the very end, where she can choose to move into the afterlife so she won't be separated from Aiden. | |

Handy Cuffs | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_f7602ddc | comment |
Handy Cuffs: First averted, and then played straight during "Hunted." Jodie can get arrested three different times at various points in the level. The first time, she ends up with her hands cuffed behind her back and locked up in a small, guarded room, thus making her escape complicated and downright impossible without resorting to help from Aiden. However, if she gets recaptured later, the officer handcuffs her hands in front of her, allowing her to easily strangle him. One has to wonder why they decided to get sloppy with precautions only after she managed to escape her restraints the first time. | |

Attempted Rape | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_f85354eb | comment |
Attempted Rape: Jodie can be the victim of attempted rape twice throughout the story, depending on her choices. In "Like Other Girls," if she manages to make it to the bar and does not leave before she's approached to play pool, the patrons will attempt to gang rape her. The bartender does nothing to intervene, leaving it up to Aiden to stop them. When she's homeless, she can contemplate giving a man oral sex in exchange for money... but then she backs down, at which point the would-be John attempts to take what he wants by force. Aiden wouldn't have it. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: Or you can just let many of those people die instead of saving them. Jimmy and Walter will burn to death if you don't get them out of the building, Paul will die if his injuries aren't treated prior to battling the evil spirit, Cole will die if his injuries aren't treated prior to entering the Black Sun chamber, and Ryan will die if both Jodie and Aiden fail to prevent Dawkins from shooting her in time. The choice is all yours. You can do even more damage as Aiden. For example, during an experiment into her powers, Jodie is asked to knock over some blocks in the next room; she does. She is then asked what else she can move, and you can trash the room, break the see-through mirrors, wreck computer equipment in the observation room, and traumatize the woman participating in the experiment, all whilst Jodie is screaming for Aiden to stop... Or just head back through to Jodie and end the experiment. Same with a level further in the game, where Jodie gives a group of teens a dose of Laser-Guided Karma. Aiden can simply kick their asses by knocking them down with furniture... Or start a fire in the house to try and kill them, or attempting to murder them through other means like dropping a fridge on and stabbing one of the teens. Not to mention the chaos he can wreak on the SWAT teams in Bakertown. At best, he kills a handful of cops by forcing some to shoot others. At worst, his actions include 1. an armored truck crashing into a weapons shop which explodes violently, 2. an entire gas station blowing up in a huge fireball, 3. the upper half of a friggin' steeple getting broken off and obliterating anything on the street below, and last but not least, 4. possessing the pilot of the police helicopter circling above the scene and forcing him to crash the damn thing into his comrades on the ground. Everything combined pretty much annihilates the sizable police force, with only the heavily injured commander being seen alive afterwards. Pulling it off in the limited time available during the segment unlocks the aptly named "Aiden's Apocalypse" achievement. | |

Cutscene Power to the Max | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_fe262584 | comment |
Cutscene Power to the Max: To the point that David Cage even admitted that the strength and effectiveness of Aiden's powers changes based on the plot's needs: During "The Dinner", Aiden shows considerably more finesse in manipulating objects than when the player controls him. This includes neatly stacking chairs on top of a table and pouring wine into a glass. When Jodie is drugged by the CIA, Aiden is able to travel a much further distance away from her than he demonstrates being able to normally, with no apparent effect on Jodie. It could be that the drugs are preventing Jodie from feeling the pain she normally would when Aiden is farther away. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Averted. Jodie suffers quite a few injuries throughout the game and spends more than one level covered in cuts and bruises. By the end, she sports several thin scars on her face. | |

Mighty Whitey | |
| Beyond: Two Souls (Video Game) / int_fed07537 | comment |
Mighty Whitey: Jodie comes across as this in "Navajo". First she has to show the native Americans how to tame a horse. Then, while exploring on horseback, she just happens to find an old burial ground, gets Shimasani to speak for the first time in decades, and is able to use her psychometry to perform a ritual that no Navajo has been able to in generations. All of this can end up saving the Navajo family from a hostile spirit that was summoned because of their ancestors' hatred for the white man. | |
