An amateur RPG Maker game from 2013, freely available on Rpgmaker.net.The basic premise involves a spunky, tomboyish beggar girl, who is called on a Mission from God to save the world by restoring balance. An evil demon is threatening the world and needs to be stopped. Along the way she meets an assorted group of characters starting with her potential love interest, an effeminate swordsman. Beyond the initial story, however, there are numerous side tales that can be gleaned from romantic sidequests, and some random dark humor by exploring the world. Not to mention some hints about the nature of the hero herself, and the nature of the world.There are plans to publish the story as a novel. This game inspired Mune Shinri, which is the book of the main "religion" of this Religious Edutainment. | |

Coup de Grâce Cutscene | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_11204355 | comment |
Coup de Grâce Cutscene: Belial's and Estheriel's deaths trigger a scene where the party combines their powers (in the Belial's case), or "The Reason You Suck" Speech (in Estheriel's case). | |

Shop Fodder | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_127027b1 | comment |
Reconstructed. The Puffer Sushi is a great item which gets rid of all status effects (excluding death, due to a targetting glitch) and restores hp/mp. But rather than simply being a very rare item, it is available in some stores for about 9000 gp, when monsters usually don't hold money and you have to make it selling Shop Fodder. Even when you actually manage to find it for free, it carries a pretty terrible risk. It can heal the party member fully, or it can kill them. The risk of use makes it something that you have to save for when you're really desperate, or the party member is already turned to stone. | |

Creator Cameo | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_127fc252 | comment |
Creator Cameo: The author, Thomas Hooker, pops up in Hell at a weapons shop. Why? Because he's down in the dumps, thought about killing himself, and decided against it. He comments about how he's not even sure the game is all that great, after which Ambrosia snaps and tells him she'll kick his ass if he doesn't cheer up. When he finally does cheer up, he dons a dress and walks off stage. | |

Rasputinian Death | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_13992073 | comment |
Rasputinian Death: Belial is beaten up in two or three forms, the party unites their powers to blast him away. This doesn't kill him, and the party has to kill off his true true form, which turns him into a ghost. Once that ghost is dead, to put him away for good requires draining all his magic. The angel Estheriel is beaten in combat, Impaled with Extreme Prejudice, and then killed by the hero (assuming they don't choose instead to save him). | |

Heroic RRoD: Nevras learns a technique named Blossom at some point. It's basically a combo attack that can give him up to eight attacks. The ninth time this is used, though... he executes a single attack that drains enormous amounts of life, and then kills him. | |

Hero Antagonist | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_1501e2dd | comment |
Hero Antagonist: Estheriel. Her/his heart's in the right place. It's just that, being an angel of justice, he's a bit of an over-the-top Knight Templar. In fact, during the entirety of her in-plot backstory events, he has several Pet the Dog moments, and the only Kick the Dog one she has, is when someone else forces his hand. Her only flaw besides that is really that he's willing to accept the risks of her actions, in order to try to make the world a better place. Even the commonly used End Justifies The Means is subverted, as he throws away the Ring of Nibelung and later seals it away when it causes two brothers to murder each other. Not that it helps, unfortunately, as the means she uses as a failsafe to the sealing has a loophole that the Ring uses to undo him. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |

Unreliable Narrator: Ambrosia, mainly due to Innocent Inaccurate. Ambrosia tells the history of the world, as she knows it, but lacks knowledge of history, or trust in legends. And some of her knowledge is lacking certain details that come up later. | |

Voice Actors | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_196b1eb | comment |
Voice Actors. According to Word of God, the game is currently being voice casted for a few opening and ending sequences (casting was done on starnow.com): Ambrosia, is Dawn Robertson (main game only). Ambrosia for the New Game Plus was originally planned using multiple actors, but now all roles seem to be done by Pippa Winslow. Bakamaru, Tamashii's boyfriend, is Jim Mcgovern. Estheriel, is neither of the two original candidates. Instead, since this was a Well-Intentioned Extremist, and a bit of a silly role, Lesley Sim was chosen. God, is Linda Southgate. Lilith is voiced by Meena Rayann. Nevras, is talented actress Ingrid Elkner Priests are played by Alan Hooker (the author's father). Tamashii, Ambrosia's daughter, is Ashley M Kalfas | |

Lord British Postulate | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_1a1ea492 | comment |
Lord British Postulate: There are several bosses that outright respawn if killed Azrael can keep them from doing this with her sealing abilities, so finding their weakness and having a way to put them down for good is the only way to kill them. These enemies, however, are intended to be killed. A better example of this is one rare enemies that pops up in the desert. It has about nine million hp, is deathproof, and can boot the party from battle after 100 of its turns. The battle is a bit like Porky Statue from Mother 3, in that it can be killed the easy way, either by depleting 99% health or by poisoning it to death. But that's no fun! By having a party with agility-boosting armor and really good weapons, it may be possible to attack faster each turn than it can keep up. | |

The Sacred Darkness: The Earth is made of two halves, the New Earth (which is completely different from Earth in its history), and the Void (which is made of some kind of all-consuming darkness with No Ontological Inertia). This Void is sort of the inverse of the stable energy of Light, but not associated with normal darkness or dark energy. | |

Status Effects | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_2639f6eb | comment |
Status Effects: Everything including from Poison, Silence, Sleep, and Death, to less common ones like Berserk, Confuse, Petrify, and Curse, to rare effects like Burn, Frozen, and X-Zone (can retrieve by changing party). There's even two extra effects: Seal, which is a curse type effect and heals fully after each turn, but otherwise like petrify, to Soulless which is a Deader than Dead status. | |

I Just Want to Have Friends | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_26764512 | comment |
I Just Want to Have Friends: Ambrosia, since much of her quest doesn't seem to be directly related to her. Instead, she starts out alone in a town and gathers a party. Lonely Together: Ambrosia and Nevras. Heck, half the party seems to have no secondary friendships, and is drawn together for this reason. | |

Limit Break: The game uses a meter to the left of the character. Magic and skill use doesn't fill this, but the relatively useless (early game, anyway) attack command does. When it fills to the top, Attack is replaced by your Limit Break. | |

Beef Gate | |

Beef Gate: (Simultaneously this, and Giant Space Flea from Nowhere.) Much of the enemies are sort of mystical fantasy-themed, with dragons and the like. And then, if the party goes out of order in the plot, there are three distinct places where it can encounter Elder Gods. Also a Cash Gate, though this one is more manageable. Just pay the toll, and cross the bridge. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The random damage algorithm is extremely buggy (not the normal damage one, but the code for special attacks that were not reflectable). It used to have Beating A Dead Player as a fairly common effect, and when that was sorted out, there was a problem where if you tried to attack while it was doing this, it might jam all motion in the game. After this got fixed, it turned out that one of the characters didn't have the random number code at the end of their conditional, so if it happened to land on them, the code would stall if they weren't in the party. This might be fixed now, probably. The game's current version has a programming oversight causing the game to start at the Playable Epilogue, thus essentially skipping the actual game. Certain computers, due to the presence of compressed MP3 files. This was fixed by standardizing MP3 to the same kbps rate, with a patch, but since if you don't have the computer there is no way of knowing if the game has good quality MP3... | |

Curb-Stomp Battle: To its credit, the battle against the boss monster is fake. The real monster is the one who told them to climb the tower, and is standing outside it. | |

"I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight: Averted. The party tries to stop/talk to Ambrosia when she goes off the deep end and starts killing people. It turns out she doesn't even remember them. And then things go really wrong on both the stopping and talking parts. | |

No Fair Cheating | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_42d9daf9 | comment |
No Fair Cheating: Zig-zagged. The built-in testplay mode (which allows pass-through, event-skip, and a debug mode) has been disabled by plugin, to the point where you could be playing the testplay mode and still not be able to do any of those things. However, in the same update, a system menu was added giving an author-created debug mode (you need special privileges by altering an external code, but the game tells you exactly how to do this), and a cheat code entry system. It seems the developer is okay with cheating, as long as you do it the right way. | |

In-Universe | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_469e3e2f | comment |
Third, and most bizarrely, Ambrosia's ultimate attack is run by a 0/1 switch where 0 is treated as basically an In-Universe Epic Fail that not only fails to attack but tries to kill the party, and 1 takes off a large percent of monster hp. Although certain events can also turn this switch from 0 to 1 or back, the most effective way to influence this is to have under 250 victories (turns to 1 at the beginning of battles), or over 9999 (turns to 0). Other things can influence this, but basically an attack that helps you win battles becomes less effective the more you win. A new mechanism is being put in place that will let you talk your way out of battles but gain experience (it doesn't add to the Victories tally, though, since the monster party doesn't die), so this will actually be possible if all bosses can be hashed out. | |

Golden Ending | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_47e4f5f5 | comment |
Golden Ending: The game has multiple endings, but in order to unlock the best, you need to complete a romance event between the male and female leads, defeat the final boss, and fight the extra final boss forms (this unlocks the Playable Epilogue which has its own Golden Ending). It turns out Ambrosia is really God, and that her suspicion that she was dreaming is only half right, and that world itself doesn't exist. Ultimately, though, she can cause it to be born, making a Double Subversion of the notion that she was dreaming. She gets to live in the world with the brand new, Real Life versions of the characters. There's also an extra ending sequence by killing an optional boss. Actually no, that's not even the rarest ending. The rarest ending is actually after winning against Cthulhu rather than getting the loss ending, and talking to him, and choosing option 2. See Radar section for more details, as this is deeply hidden in the game. | |

Self-Disposing Villain: On a Mook scale. Some of the lesser creatures, notably goblins/kobolds, would rather kill themselves than let you take them alive, and may do so after about 1/2 their life is gone. | |

Gotta Catch Them All | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_527fc5fe | comment |
Gotta Catch Them All: There are two major sidequests in the game, besides the romance sidequest. One is a bounty hunt, and one involves finding and opening all the chests in each game (there's about 96 chests, many of which involve a weird trick like getting behind a store counter, plus a hidden bonus chest on completion) and talking to a girl in Kushiyama to claim a prize. | |

Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers! | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_53c37f0c | comment |
Silly Rabbit, Cynicism Is for Losers!: Ambrosia at the end of the First Disc (so to speak) heads off for the second world. Unless she bothered to do the romance sidequest (or can get past the Beef Gate of skipping a key romantic scene and heading directly through the entrance without stopping at the vacation town first), the plot requires you to visit Nevras at his castle. If you decide not to, or if you didn't get the memo, the story suddenly gets much darker, most notably in the endings. Basically because Ambrosia decided her love life with Nevras was doomed, things got a whole lot worse for her. | |

Money for Nothing | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_5534431f | comment |
Money for Nothing: Subverted. You can get beyond the maximum amount actually held in the game, by putting it into your back past that amount (in which case your back tenders you the million dollar bill item, which can be used to buy stuff like houses). Still, you can get to the point where you technically have millions upon millions, and nothing to spend it on. This does make a bit of Global Currency Exception when million dollar bills can't buy most stuff directly, and you have to use them as items (which puts $999,999 into your pocket). | |

Bragging Rights Reward: If you can beat the game without dying, the game awards you with a ton of prizes, including an equippable trophy item. Doing so, however, despite being told of this in the very first savepoint, is quite difficult. It is doable, but many points of the game have desert or snow battles, which are harder than normal ones. Not to mention some bosses that will kill you. | |

Yin-Yang Bomb | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_5669577c | comment |
Yin-Yang Bomb: Ambrosia, has the Tao ability. This gives her two main abilities, the ability to split her body into two parts, and a blast of nonelemental energy that basically responds to her mood. In the game, this means that her powers can either hurt her as a result of use, or deal massive extra damage (or simply halt the battle). The book is different mainly because the last one is missing, and it spends more time getting into more depth about this. | |

Shock Value Relationship | |

Shock Value Relationship: Michael and Lilith. The two characters make out in a bar, wrecking the place while they bang into stuff with passionate kissing. Not to mention it's relationship that's sort of taboo anyway, since it's an angel/demon pairing. Subverted in that unlike most relationships of this sort, they actually like each other. If Lilith pairs up with Aqorm, it's still counts, because before that she hung out casually with Elias, and suddenly she's ditching him to choose a woman, while he is two feet away from her in a bar. | |

Working-Class People Are Morons: Used largely as an exposition device. Elias usually has to explain something abstract to Ambrosia (who, while not stupid, is Book Dumb), and thus to anyone in the audience who happens not to know about the subject. What the Hell, Hero? version of this as one of the villains gives the mangled stock quote, "Who are you gonna trust? Me, who you've just met, or your friends that you've known several months?" And Ambrosia can actually choose to say, "You." | |

| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_629fa757 | comment |
Perfectly Arranged Marriage: Anideshi and Azrael. Sort of an odd example though, since it's not the parents that arranged it, but destiny (that and it's a two-woman relationship). In a book she reads, there's some prophecy that Anideshi is doomed to be reincarnated over and over again, until the last time where she's reborn to save the world with an exorcist, and finalize the relationship. She struggles with this and doesn't want to see anyone for fear her life would get written for her, but actually pairs up with Azrael, who just happens to be an exorcist. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Ambrosia's actual powers, and those she gets at the end of the game, are significantly different in scale. Also, see the Never Say "Die" example below. Death mainly happens outside of battle. | |

Conveniently Unverifiable Cover Story | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_63c1170b | comment |
Conveniently Unverifiable Cover Story: Due to the fact she can't remember her early childhood (averting No Infantile Amnesia), she remembers being adopted at a young age. Too bad her original parents are dead, we can't ask them anything. And she grew up on the streets of a town a continent away after their death, so we can't ask the villagers anything. Needless to say, her actual past turns out to be quite different, once she remembers everything. | |

Dismantled MacGuffin | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_63d3ce1a | comment |
Dismantled MacGuffin: In order to become the Oracle of Tao, Ambrosia has to collect a series of scattered tattoos by realizing some profound truth from various wise people (sort of a Shout-Out to The Seven Songs of Merlin). Also, another version of this is going on in the villains' case, since the Big Bad is sealed inside a giant pot, and thirteen gems are needed to unseal the spell. | |

Permanently Missable Content: The Crystal Trophy is the Zodiac Spear of Oracle of Tao. You have to complete the game without saving, and you have to make the good ending. Unless you're in the top tier of players, and can pull this off, you're unlikely to manage this, and by the Endgame+, it's already been awarded if you had it. | |

| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_66f763c0 | comment |
Interface Screw: mainly Ambrosia, when hit by confuse or blind (possibly justified, since she is the leader, after all). Outside of controls however, the game functions are constantly tweaked (such as the day/night system being tweaked by the Void world so if you stay too long outside you die, or the weather system changing due to seasons, or some of the assumed game rules being bypassed by certain effects). | |

Schrödinger's Question: Pretty much the ending options you choose can determine whether the entire universe exists or not. Among other things... And a Shout-Out to Schrödinger's Butterfly in one of the temples. There is a character, asking the characters who talk to it if it's a butterfly or a person. The answer seems to be implied by what's on the screen. Not to mention the story itself is Schrödinger's Butterfly. | |

Lemony Narrator | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_6d57a234 | comment |
Lemony Narrator: Ambrosia is also the narrator. She goes on side topics about her family or personal history, glossing over what a normal narrator would consider the main story. It somehow manages to avoid Protagonist-Centered Morality, since Ambrosia has no real illusions of her own righteousness. But she talks a great deal about her personal interests in the story at hand (if she's interested in it), her failings in knowledge legends and history, and her overall skepticism in the story's plot. Ambrosia mainly narrates in the opening parts of either the main game or the Playable Epilogue, and seems to care even less about the main story the second time, preferring to instead talk about her marriage and subsequent child. | |

Guide Dang It! | |

Guide Dang It!: Some of the puzzles. The entire Alchemy system. Through trial-and-error, it's solvable, but you end up buying a bunch of items that you'd never use to figure out a few formulas, and making the Philosopher's Stone uses a Level Root, as does the Ultimate Weapon. Add to this fact that many formulas don't really work until after the Philosopher's Stone is made, and you find a very difficult to understand system. | |

Jigsaw Puzzle Plot | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_715704e5 | comment |
Jigsaw Puzzle Plot: Many things are revealed in this game, spaced out all over the place. There is at the very opening, a World Sundering, of the New Earth and the Void which was the old Earth. Then Ambrosia gets a series of religious truths foisted on her, along which the revelation that she might not be real, and the realization that she has a Literal Split Personality causing chaos around her. This is to say nothing of the often conflicting (as viewed by histories, versus personal accounts, versus the demon's own account) versions of people getting raptured by a demon's coming, various personal plots scattered about the world, Ambrosia's quest to find her memories of her parents, and various secrets revealed at the end about her identity, the world, and everything in it. And it's not even truly over, so there is a second game to tie up loose ends, with an additional secret or two the Oracle's role is actually a replacement to extend the lifespan of God, since without someone to renew the cycle, God and everything else in existence is doomed to return to the Void they came from. | |

Kaizo Trap | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_75f38750 | comment |
Kaizo Trap: The Final Boss has one if you have the wrong party. The boss in question would before dying and being removed from the field, as part of the plot blow up the surrounding area, killing off everyone who isn't somehow immortal. This includes Lilith, Michael, and Anideshi the Sage. It also includes Azrael, and Nevras as their presence triggers a different event. But if you have Ambrosia, Elias, Aqorm, Anideshi (normal, without a special item she gets), or Yazim Jiane, the blast will kill everyone off resulting in a bad ending (well, worse, considering the ending is already bad simply for choosing the wrong party). | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_7d561d58 | comment |
Too Awesome to Use: Reconstructed. The Puffer Sushi is a great item which gets rid of all status effects (excluding death, due to a targetting glitch) and restores hp/mp. But rather than simply being a very rare item, it is available in some stores for about 9000 gp, when monsters usually don't hold money and you have to make it selling Shop Fodder. Even when you actually manage to find it for free, it carries a pretty terrible risk. It can heal the party member fully, or it can kill them. The risk of use makes it something that you have to save for when you're really desperate, or the party member is already turned to stone. Also, we have the Philosopher's Stone, which is absurdly difficult to buy, so the sell price is extremely tempting. Not to mention that although you can make it with alchemy to do so, requires giving up an equally rare levelup item. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Given to Estheriel, telling him that he was defeated by The Power of Love. It's actually a subversion, because it's completely off-base accusation. Estheriel, because he was tired of seeing other people get killed over meaningless squabbles, tried to remake the world to a more decent one. | |

Awesome by Analysis: Elias can learn to summon (or several other magic types) just by reading books about various creatures (when usually this involves fighting monsters). He can also learn how to do runecasting this way. For that matter, if he browses through the libraries, he reads a four volume set called History of The World, memorizes it, and reprints it from memory in game. | |

Gainax Ending | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_82accf22 | comment |
Gainax Ending: Even if you win, the ending depends on the ending party. That is, you can "win" with the wrong party and have most/all of the party die (since the final boss has a final attack scripted by the story). If the party dies, but you have the right party, the characters just say some really strange words about the hero, and how she wasn't really a good person, not really a bad person, "she was a person." And then they walk off. If you don't have the right party, the universe explodes. It is explained why, and yet still doesn't totally make sense. Even the best ending makes no sense, as it turns out the main hero was God all along (she's told this by God), and now has the choice while sitting in a White Void Room on whether to create the universe or not (and she can definitely choose to just become God and sit by herself for all eternity). What?!? It gets better, though. The Playable Epilogue has three endings, none of which yield a rational conclusion. | |

He's coerced by his fellow demons to find them a homeland, even though this likely means the destruction of most current life on Earth. Likewise, he destroyed a huge number of people on Earth because he was treated like a monster and sealed into an urn. | |

| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_86331fae | comment |
The Anti-God: The Ancient One, a hooded ghoul who rules the void. God isn't really good or evil, but rather has Blue-and-Orange Morality of some sort. The Ancient One, on the other hand, seems to be merely territorial, destroying whatever is nearby. God is ruler of all existence, the Ancient One is ruler of nonexistence. Supposedly the two are equally powerful, but this may be an Informed Attribute, because God's power is never tested in battle, and there are stronger enemies out there. | |

Villainy-Free Villain: Estheriel has all the hallmarks of a Well-Intentioned Extremist, but don't really ever do anything bad. His backstory shows him witness the extreme violence of humanity, as a result of The Chain of Harm mentioned above. What does he do? He heals these people, only to have them kill each other due to jealousy over who got healed more. He doesn't even hurt Ambrosia if she loses to him in battle! He only wants a world where people don't hurt each other, and is trying to remake the universe so it accepts his goal (there is the small problem of The Evils of Free Will, making it possible for the audience to still hate him, even though it isn't his fault). His reward for all of this? His own lackey decides his means of doing this aren't up to snuff and runs him through with a spear. | |

Cerebus Retcon: Double Subverted. Ambrosia has a sudden flashback where she thinks she was dead, and can't explain why she had no wounds after that. At the time, this turns out to be a test for her resolve, before gaining another Crest, so she denies it showing. It turns out this might have been true later, and she starts to again not exist, this time fading to nothing (that is, the original retcon was subverted, then retconned again as a symptom of another, more horrifying conclusion). Which is then subverted again, as she manages to force herself into existence. Which is then retconned again, this time, applying to everyone but her. | |

| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_933576c8 | comment |
Ambrosia only casts every other turn, making her a Mighty Glacier spellcaster. She can also be sealed in certain battles. After becoming God, she can use her powers completely at will. This is an attempt to reconcile the fact that she doesn't become stronger (see Gameplay and Story Segregation) later on. | |

All Deaths Final | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_944eb8fb | comment |
All Deaths Final: Subverted. There are "revival" spells, but certain deaths are not able to be remedied. There are graves, so understandably, old age is one of the constants. As are certain effects like disintegration or Cessation of Existence. Or diseases, judging from the cause of death in many gravestones. Also, there are a vast number of war-related casualties, so resurrection probably only works on bodies before decay has set in. This is possibly due to some sort of Resurrection Sickness (in the case of disease, causing them too be too weak, and die again) or Destination Host Unreachable (in the case of old age). | |

Betty and Veronica: A couple of bisexual cases. For Aqorm, the resident thief, her "Betty" is Elias, the somewhat bookish type man, and her Veronica is Lilith, another girl and a succubus. Lilith's Betty is actually Aqorm, and her "Veronica" is Michael, a very effeminate-looking angel guy who is this because they are polar opposites. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: Aqorm's mechanics. She basically is a weaked-down fighter with stealing ability and a geomancy effect. To use her to her full effect requires gaining loads of money, and then charging her to her limit break. Since her limit break basically spends money to deal damage, and the more she has the more damage (but also the more she spends). Then there's the fact that she can take apart mechs Riku-style. Elias also shares this trait. To get all his abilities, you have to do alot of reading to learn skills, some alchemy combining to learn some of the rest, and be at a fairly high level (some of the books read have a level cap). | |

Good Parents: There are several instances of this, listed below. When the Ambrosia's and Nevras's child dies in battle, both of them buff up dramatically, and the Limit Break fills more easily. Tamashii can also not drink any ales or other beverages. And one item, the Puffer Fish Sushi, which has a chance of killing party members as often as it heals them (it's nutritious), Ambrosia will forbid her from using because "it's dangerous." The two of them also protect her from experience loss due to party death by taking it on themselves. That said, Ambrosia is a rather strange mom. | |

No-Sell: Two cases of it, both in the New Game Plus. The first is when Estheriel shrugs off the Power of the Void. The second happens when Ambrosia goes crazy, and her party tries to stop her, but she's fueled by the Power Born of Madness, and shrugs their attacks off. Also, one of the final bosses does this for the first turn, before the party pulls out all the stops. | |

For that matter, Reverse Cerebus Syndrome: Immediately after a terrible point in a story where someone gets Impaled with Extreme Prejudice, you have three choices as to whether to finish them off, leave them, or kill them. Killing them makes the story head south, while either of the other options causes the ending to take a dramatic upswing. | |

What You Are in the Dark | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_afc6df04 | comment |
What You Are in the Dark: Ambrosia's choice in the Universe Egg is witnessed by the party, but other than this, nobody can see her choice. The "villain" isn't really a villain, but although she isn't really egged on, she can definitely make a very off choice (to murder an angel who has already been run through by a rather large spear). Or a very good one (to heal it, although given that this same angel was trying to take over the world), or a very apathetic one, but somewhat understandable one given a no-win situation. | |

Bottomless Magazines: Averted after an update. A long bow now uses up arrows from the inventory, unequipping your last arrow and getting rid of it when you fire the last one (small glitch of being able to unequip the last, makes 10 arrows really only give 9 shots). | |

Men Act, Women Are | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_b3987997 | comment |
Men Act, Women Are: Played straight in that Ambrosia is God's daughter/God, and Nevras is the resident warrior. Inverted, since Nevras is by default the crown prince and more or less a Non-Action Guy that doesn't even want the job, and manages to avert it mainly because he marries into poverty. The case for Ambrosia is based on her quest, that it something she has to do, to earn her birthright. | |

My Rules Are Not Your Rules: The monsters don't have to abide the long term effects of status effects. Not to mention many of the effects simply aren't programmed to work on enemies the way they are to party members, and vice versa. Stone, for instance means party gameover if all allies are hit with it. It usually just stops enemies cold for the rest of the battle. | |

Moral Myopia | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_b42b7e7b | comment |
Moral Myopia: A heroic version of this. Ambrosia makes no bones about the fact that she seriously doesn't care about the villains' troubles. So much so, that she turns apathy into almost a religion of its own. At the other hand, many of the ethics Ambrosia learns are ones only she follows, letting others of her party do as they please, making it an inversion of sorts. | |

There's a Christmas village (which has a Thomas Kinkade painting as its background, apparently), where Santa can give you some fairly nice presents. Or some shabby ones. | |

We Want Our Jerk Back!: Ambrosia is very much a Tsundere throughout the early game, but enters decay on this point over the course of the story, she eventually becomes a sort of weird mix of Sugar-and-Ice Personality and Mama Bear. | |

Scheherezade Gambit: There's some heavy speeches in this game. Everything from a Green Aesop, to political or theological viewpoints.

Cosmic Horror Reveal | |

Cosmic Horror Reveal: Not the main plot, but the game has a bounty hunting sidequest that is relatively calm and relaxing, until you get to about the last monster, who turns out to be an Eldritch Abomination. Losing the battle against this last bounty results in a Mind Rape ending. For a Side Quest, this is still pretty heavy... and there are actually a number of these practically immortal destructive beings roaming about. | |

Cerebus Syndrome: Much of the game is Sweet Dreams Fuel with various moral lessons about love being taught. Then, around the fourth of these, there is everything from a Hard Truth Aesop to the implication that Ambrosia at some point died and the other characters are part of a dream. For that matter, Reverse Cerebus Syndrome: Immediately after a terrible point in a story where someone gets Impaled with Extreme Prejudice, you have three choices as to whether to finish them off, leave them, or kill them. Killing them makes the story head south, while either of the other options causes the ending to take a dramatic upswing. | |

Murder Makes You Crazy: Ambrosia is more or less a little crazy already (being a Mood-Swinger Sugar-and-Ice Personality with a Literal Split Personality), but in a Bad Ending she goes noticeably over the edge after killing an angel. She starts talking about "balancing the scales" (which, since she created the universe from a Dream Apocalypse, means basically destroying everything), and goes on a homicidal rampage, even killing her own party. | |

| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_d782bd52 | comment |
Equivalent Exchange: A variety of these. Most magic uses MP as its price, much like Final Fantasy, but some abilities are Cast from Hit Points. On the other end of the scale, you have a Mana Shield. And then there's Elias's Alchemy, which aside from making cool items, has certain alchemy spells. But in order to learn each spell or make a super-rare item (like gold), you sacrifice anywhere from a level to 10 levels (and you can combine spells together, meaning there's a chance you might end up making the same spell more than two times). | |

Aside from experience rewards, God explains that the entire adventure was constructed because Ambrosia seemed bored, and God wanted to give her something to do. It gets weirder if you've completed the first game before challenging God since Ambrosia is God, and so gave herself a quest. | |

Sequel Reset: Game's all wrapped up, but then we have a sequel. Why? Just to show Ambrosia as an Action Mom. In fact, since Ambrosia is God's incarnation, it's heavily implied she manufactured the problem leading to the sequel. Also a Sequel Hook, as the antagonist is introduced in the first game (but other than that, the story is more or less resolved). | |

Anti-Grinding | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_f11c3835 | comment |
Anti-Grinding: Of the Undertale variety, the difference being tone (Undertale gives you an extended guilt trip about it, while Oracle of Tao suddenly springs the consequences of your actions on you). First, if you have beaten over 999 mobs, a creature called the Wandering Buddha challenges you and asks you whether you want happiness, the joke being that apparently in Buddhism, happiness is emptiness, so he thinks that you want to be attacked (if you say no, he calls you strange). Second, in the Normal and Hard Mode (not the Easy Mode), after killing over 999 mobs, a tally starts whenever you visit the save point. The tally only stops if you Sheathe Your Sword against the Wandering Buddha, or in the Normal Mode if you run away. If you run away in Hard Mode, the tally doesn't stop, but instead, the game warns you that going over a certain point (different from Normal to Hard mode by a factor of about 10) will trigger a bad ending (basically, the Game Plus ending where Ambrosia kills the party). If you killed the Wandering Buddha? Every save point treats you to this message: Third, and most bizarrely, Ambrosia's ultimate attack is run by a 0/1 switch where 0 is treated as basically an In-Universe Epic Fail that not only fails to attack but tries to kill the party, and 1 takes off a large percent of monster hp. Although certain events can also turn this switch from 0 to 1 or back, the most effective way to influence this is to have under 250 victories (turns to 1 at the beginning of battles), or over 9999 (turns to 0). Other things can influence this, but basically an attack that helps you win battles becomes less effective the more you win. A new mechanism is being put in place that will let you talk your way out of battles but gain experience (it doesn't add to the Victories tally, though, since the monster party doesn't die), so this will actually be possible if all bosses can be hashed out. | |

Chain of Deals | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_f2159a54 | comment |
Chain of Deals: Played with. As part of a sidequest, a girl wants a certain trophy. Which she traded away for some sushi and the recipe. She wants it back, so you start this quest of basically back-trading to get the item, which everyone's either had stolen from them, or traded away already. Then you get to the end of the trade… and not only does it cycle back to the original owner, but she decided to toss it in the trash. Worse yet, she decides to give Ambrosia the same exact item she wanted to trade for it in the first place, a sushi set. | |

And oddly enough, its inverse. Although "right" is replaced with "love." | |

Never Say "Die" | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": Similar to Earthbound, there is an altered enemy defeat caption. It says something about how the enemies were defeated in "bloodless" combat. This is done less because the characters have an aversion to killing, and more to prevent a Broken Aesop. The game does have actual bloodshed in it, at least in the form of the NPCs. It's just mostly outside of battle. | |

Black Bug Room | |
| Oracle of Tao (Video Game) / int_f88516d5 | comment |
Black Bug Room: Shortly before facing the final boss of the two-game series (including Playable Epilogue), Ambrosia gets separated from her party, and faced with her evil half taunting her. She is forced confront the fact that despite supposedly being The Hero, she's been killing Mooks this whole time and it's making her as bad as them. Then she has a vision of either dying at the hands of the villain, or killing her family off. In comparison to any other Black Bug Room, it really isn't that disturbing but it does pave the way for later events. | |

Heroic Neutral: Nevras actually quotes from The Godfather when he hears of his new quest: Also Lilith, despite being a demon. She's locked her house until Ambrosia enters her life, then gets persuaded by her earnestness. | |
