Due to the sheer quantity of spoilers, all of the spoilers on this page will be unmarked. You Have Been Warned!Outcore is a Puzzle-Platformer Game by Doctor Shinobi, released on September 26th, 2022 on Steam.Imagine that you boot up your computer one day, and a gray blob flies across your screen. It orders you to give it a file. Should you oblige, the game begins; the blob fades into light and reveals a girl named Lumi, who has lost all her memories. The game revolves around helping her regain her forgotten past, searching for files on your desktop and helping her decrypt them.Of course, this is only half of the game. The other half actually takes place within the memories themselves. You play through her past, meeting a handful of "the worst characters ever written", as you discover exactly how she ended up there in the first place.It was released for free, but with a slew of (practically functionless) DLC accompanying it, primarily for people wishing to support the game. Such DLC includes: Outcore: OST Supporter Pack Includes the Original Soundtrack Outcore: Clown Nose Supporter Pack Gives Lumi a Clown Nose Outcore: Desktop Adventure: The Amazing Super Duper Ultra Hyper Mama Mia Papa Pipa Wawa Wee Waa Five Shekel Kosher Falafel Deluxe Extra Sugoi Mega Kawaii Gold Diamond Nirosta Plastic Director's Cut Special Edition Supporter Pack Plus PLUS Makes the Clown Nose turn various Rainbow Colors

Doctor Shinobi, who is also a Self-Insert. He wears black and green, as well as an extremely red scarf, and is justified by him being a doctor ninja. The reason his scarf is red is because it's soaked in the blood of his enemies, which he then uses to transfuse into other enemies that he treats. He is never seen trying to be stealthy, though. Shinobi also invokes another 17 tropes... all in 8 lines of dialogue.

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Captain Tutorial fits this to a tee. He really does care for Lumi - after losing Ofelia, he bought Lumi several, and extremely expensive, gifts to try and cheer her up. On the other hand, he's influenced extremely easily.

Title Drop: Near the end of the game, if you ask Lumi what that core she just fought was, she'll refer to it as the Outcore. Funnily enough, she dismisses the name as "cringy" immediately after.

Achievement Mockery

comment
Achievement Mockery: If you simply search online for the code to Mastermind's doorcode1073 without finding the treasure, you get the "Read a walkthrough" achievement, and not only does Lumi outright say she looked up the code upon being questioned about how she knew the code, Laifu even scolds you for doing so shortly after. You unlock your Star power shortly afterwards, since you were supposed to get it through the intended path, but Laifu doesn't tell you how to use it, saying that you can probably just search it up as well. Doing this also has the added bonus of completely skipping the Fairy Hartstronk race, Booty the Bootleg Bootleg, The Great Evil Villainous League Of Evil Villains meeting, and all three Reinbo fights. Completing the eighth stage of the Idle Game and buying the final item for 2000 coins (a task that takes longer than an hour for the final stage alone) grants you... nothing, except for one achievement, titled "It really wasn't worth it".

Chekhov's Gun
 Outcore (Video Game) / int_22cf536c
comment
Chekhov's Gun: The World Above. Initially, it is only explained as a location beyond the Underground, and that's about it. The entire journey is kicked off by Ofelia hearing stories from Booty the Bootleg about The World Above, hearing about it being a huge, open area, with colors that don't even exist in the Underground and no walls or ceiling. Ofelia and Lumi originally planned to go there together, but Lumi backed out at the last second, leaving Ofelia to go on her own. Her desire to leave is fueled once more by the photo of The World Above left behind by Booty the Bootleg. At the end of the game, it's revealed that The World Above is actually your desktop, as the photo that Lumi takes is saved to your desktop as "The world above.png".

Stable Time Loop: Of a sort. The photo of The World Above is revealed to have been left by Booty the Bootleg who states that a dog told him to put it in a specific place at a specific time, to which Lumi refuses to believe. Near the end of the game, Lumi creates a screenshot of your desktop and requests that you drag and drop it inside her dog K-Lev if you wish to reset the game, so that he may give the screenshot to Booty the Bootleg, who will leave the photo for another Lumi to find.

No Fourth Wall: Outside of Memories, Lumi is completely aware of you, and is even capable of reading files, writing to files, and outright hacking your device (with permission). Thankfully, since she isn't evil, she only does this to help people (and reads your save data just for fun). You do, however, end up helping her break your computer screen to expose the Outcore.

Reality Warper: Lumi becomes this after defeating the Outcore. She uses this power to recreate the entirety of the Underground, creating a vast planet with millions of places to explore. She even goes as far as creating other star systems and planets for them to explore when they seek to explore outside the Underground. Lumi goes this far to specifically ensure that nobody ever makes it to the Void again, declaring she found nothing but madness in her quest to The World Above. She also transports all citizens of the Underground to this new planet, but Lumi herself chooses to explore the Internet instead, as she created the dimension, and thus knows all of its secrets. She becomes an Internet Explorer, if you will.

comment
Fairy Trickster: Downplayed. Fairy Hartstronk is an incredibly buff (male) fairy who even wears pink. He's also a Lake Fairy that is summoned when one loses an important object to the lake. Hartstronk's first appearance shows him checking Lumi to see if she is Pure of Heart, but Lumi ends up having to race him for 4970 "Score Points" to pay the Electrical Bill Ghost's payment. Hartstronk ends up not having these points at all, since he didn't actually plan on someone beating him. Because of this, Lumi ends up making Hartstronk a Fairy in a Bottle, which Booty the Bootleg accepts as payment, as he can either use Hartstronk as a housemaid or sell his organs.

Hidden Villain: Laifu. Once you make it into the Mastermind's Evil Lair, the conveniently-shaped-like-Mistermind silhouette is revealed to be Laifu sitting in a throne, much to Lumi's disappointment. At the same time, it's revealed that she is one of the few individuals who were able to return from The World Above, but they remember nothing about it, besides finding other people who seemed insistent on calling her "thick." She eventually started to get sick of this and cut her own legs off so she couldn't go back, and has vowed the rest of her life to protecting others from the same fate. It's later revealed she was referring to the Void, and, as far as she knows, The World Above does not exist.

Laifu responds by saying that she might accept his love if he turns into a spikey heart and kills Lumi.

Hello, [Insert Name Here]
 Outcore (Video Game) / int_68913e61
comment
Hello, [Insert Name Here]: Lumi lets you input your own name, but has tons of Easter Eggs to go with it, too. Naming yourself "DoctorShinobi", "E", or anything self-deprecating, vulgar or sexualnote Like "Stupid", "Fuck", "Sex", or "Fucking Sex" will cause her to sarcastically proclaim how original the name is, along with the chance to change the name. If you take the chance, and reinput the exact same name, she notes this, and decides to play along anyways. Naming yourself "Lumi" causes Lumi to be suprised at you having the same name as her. "Lumilia" also has this result, but has her mention that Lumilia is actually her full name. Naming yourself "Captain Tutorial" sends chills down her spine, although she's unsure why. Naming yourself "Booty The Bootleg" makes her think you're a boot. Naming yourself "Laifu" has Lumi call your name "cute". She doesn't remember what Laifu did to her... yet. Naming yourself "Outcore" causes Lumi to note that your name sounds more like a video game name rather than a real name. She brushes it off, though, since she's not familiar with the world yet. Naming yourself "Daddy" makes her disgusted, since it's a name you would call your father. Naming yourself "Senpai" will have Lumi say that she doesn't know you well enough to be calling you that. She ultimately gives up trying to avoid it, and goes on as normal. Baka... Naming yourself "Fez" or "Pazini" will have her be excited to meet "The Great Magician Musician". Not naming yourself will have her call you "Null". If you input a name only one or two characters long, she will comment on your name being extremely short. "E" is the only exception. Putting symbols in your name will cause Lumi to exclaim that she's never met someone with symbols in their name.

The Power of Love: Laifu hints at this early on. Later, it's revealed that, through love, anyone can escape from the highschool, much to Laifu's surprise. Sadly, Kafot cannot be saved through the power of love. Funnily enough, if you input the code without going through the whole treasure quest, this trope is averted.

Intentional Heartbreaker: Subverted. Laifu's HATE route involves Lumi insulting Laifu several times. This starts by saying her heart is as ugly as she is and that she's as dumb as a bricknote to which Laifu responds she was the 25th best student in her math class (of 10 people!), thus being the best since she has the highest number, to name a few. Turns out, Laifu actually has a humilation kink.

Old Save Bonus
 Outcore (Video Game) / int_87ce64a0
comment
Old Save Bonus: The penultimate boss has Lumi use the icons on your desktop to create various mini games. There's lots of them, but only three are picked, presumably at random. The only icon that seems to be guaranteed is the Recycle Bin, which causes conveyor belts to appear, and you must sort various files into the correct bins. Having a DAW, music streaming program, .mp3 file, media player, or osu! causes a piano to appear, and you must play the notes that appear. Having an image editor or .sai file will cause Lumi to paint on your screen. The paintbrush will follow your cursor, and you have to avoid the trail it makes. Having an antivirus will actually put you at a disadvantage, as pop-ups will appear throughout the fight that will instantly cause you to lose if left open for too long, or if the wrong button is clicked. Having Minecraft, Terraria, Starbound, Forager, or Trove causes multiple blocks to appear on the bottom of the screen. You must click them, and dig your way to the six diamond ores to win. Having Valorant, Fortnite, Enter the Gungeon, Half-Life, Battlefield, PAYDAY, DOOM, Fallout, Team Fortress 2, Destiny, or a considerable number of other shooting games causes lots of missiles to appear, and you must grab the energy circles before the missiles reach the top of the screen. Fortunately, you're given a gun that destroys the missiles, albeit slowly.

Bombproof Appliance: The Tutorial Hat is not only bomb-proof, it's nuke-proof. On the other hand, it's just a hat rather than, say, a fridge, so this trope is both Downplayed and Exaggerated in its own strange way.

 Outcore (Video Game) / int_906365a2
comment
Demonic Possession: The Laifu boss fight has a third route, titled the DEMON route, where Lumi is possessed by a "handsome ancient demon lord zombie" or "handsome ancient demon lord vampire". Booty the Bootleg shows up afterwards with an item that conveniently dispels demons. K-Lev is possessed by the soul of a handsome ancient demon lord.

Eldritch Location
 Outcore (Video Game) / int_9bee1a7f
comment
Eldritch Location: The Void. The Void's effects appear to be extremely drastic, to a point where, even after completely losing her memory, the very thought of an empty void comes close to triggering Lumi's trauma. While the circumstances are unclear, the Void appears to be beyond the edge of the world, and anyone who ventures out that far is almost guaranteed to never return. Those who do return have no memory of the place. If one manages to escape the gravity of the world, they begin to drift through the Void, which also seems to force its victims through Neverending Terror, driving them insane in the process. The only way out at this point is to get lucky enough to overload the program's memory and get ejected from it, which grants access to The World Above.

Most Definitely Not a Villain: Subverted. Mistermind looks exactly like the silhouette of the Mastermind, and is never seen at the same time as the Mastermind, even during their first introduction, which is implied to be pre-recorded. It is later revealed that the reason he never appears at the same time as the Mastermind is a pure coincidence, and that Laifu was the real Mastermind.

Inverted by a certain section of the Fairy Hartstronk race. Just behind the finish line is the "Time-Wasting Heart", who, when interacted with, will go on an excessively long rant about basically nothing, all while Hartstronk gains a lead on you. If you talk to this heart and still manage to win (while Hartstronk hasn't been exhausted) you get an achievement for it.

Face–Heel Turn: Downplayed. Taking note that the hero's goal is to maintain the Status Quo, and Lumi is about to do everything but, she decides to change her attire to be more villain-like. If anything, she's transforming from The Hero to the Anti-Villain.

Having an antivirus will actually put you at a disadvantage, as pop-ups will appear throughout the fight that will instantly cause you to lose if left open for too long, or if the wrong button is clicked.

Shout-Out
 Outcore (Video Game) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: One of the things Lumi has you draw in MS Paint is a crewmate from Among Us. She insists it's supposed to be a spaceship. Booty the Bootleg's entire existence (and Booty the Bootleg Bootleg, by extension) is a Pastiche to Undertale, complete with the Big Booty boss fight, a clear reference to Photoshop Flowey. Lumi's amateur website says that she searched Yoohoo.com for "how to make a website", but didn't get any results. So instead, she bought a book on Coffee Script, and studied it. This is implying her entire website was somehow written in Coffee Script. The relevance of "Yoohoo.com" may also be a reference to the fact that Yahoo! once owned GeoCities, which was infamous for hosting user-generated websites that were distinctly amateur as well. Laifu and the School of Love appear to be a homage to Danganronpa or Doki Doki Literature Club!. Three achievements that are forced onto you during the game, titled "SAVE ME", "KILL ME", and "HELP ME", as well as the "GO BACK" warnings during the nightmare flashback, are all written in Zalgo.

Developer's Foresight

Developer's Foresight: Upon starting the first Memory, a character called "ASHMEDAI THE DESTROYER" asks you what your preferred control scheme is, offering the choice between using the Arrow keys + ZXC or Mouse + WASD. If you have OBS Studio open, he also shows up as soon as the game is first opened, and claims he is "The Screen That Warns You Not To Leak Your Private Information On Stream." Ashmedai warns you that the game does indeed run on your actual desktop, and, since the screen is being recorded, to ensure that nothing you don't want to be seen is visible. Deleting any of Lumi's files will crash the game and grant the achievement "Murderer". Dragging K-Lev into the Memory Loader instead of Lumi grants you the "Good boy" achievement, as well as a really strange memory (that probably did not happen) involving a lot of golden bones. The game comes with a free copy of Paint.net that is used as a failsafe in the event that Microsoft Paint cannot be opened.

Anti-Frustration Features
 Outcore (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: ASHMEDAI THE DESTROYER provides you the option to skip any boss instantly, which is very useful if you want to play the game but get stuck on a boss or want to replay without refighting the bosses. One part of the game involves completing an idle game to purchase a decoder for Lumi's memories. The game revolves around collecting and depositing golden coins by programming a character via a Javascript program. Thankfully, Lumi is skilled with Javascript, and is capable of solving the first four stages for you if you do not wish to do it yourself. If you lose to Fairy Hartstronk during the race, Fairy Hartstronk will restart the race, however he will be extremely exhausted and move much slower. Inverted by a certain section of the Fairy Hartstronk race. Just behind the finish line is the "Time-Wasting Heart", who, when interacted with, will go on an excessively long rant about basically nothing, all while Hartstronk gains a lead on you. If you talk to this heart and still manage to win (while Hartstronk hasn't been exhausted) you get an achievement for it.

If you simply search online for the code to Mastermind's doorcode1073 without finding the treasure, you get the "Read a walkthrough" achievement, and not only does Lumi outright say she looked up the code upon being questioned about how she knew the code, Laifu even scolds you for doing so shortly after. You unlock your Star power shortly afterwards, since you were supposed to get it through the intended path, but Laifu doesn't tell you how to use it, saying that you can probably just search it up as well. Doing this also has the added bonus of completely skipping the Fairy Hartstronk race, Booty the Bootleg Bootleg, The Great Evil Villainous League Of Evil Villains meeting, and all three Reinbo fights.

Innocent Bigot: At the end of the game, Lumi talks about exploring the Internet. During this conversation, she asks you if you're a "beta cuck", unaware of what the term really means.contextGeneral consensus on the internet, at least as seen on Urban Dictionary, is that a "beta cuck" is a male who is weak and/or cowardly. This is justified by her only experience with the internet at that point being her own website, which resembles extremely old internet websites. It's only logical that she wouldn't be very well-informed on modern internet culture, such as the "beta cuck".

Exact Words: The ESCAPE Room, within the School of Love, is a white room that you get trapped in about halfway through chapter 3. The room is inescapable, hence the "days since last escape" counter reading "a lot", and there are other people stuck there. The way to escape is by pressing the Escape key (ESC on most keyboards).

Technicolor Ninja: Doctor Shinobi, who is also a Self-Insert. He wears black and green, as well as an extremely red scarf, and is justified by him being a doctor ninja. The reason his scarf is red is because it's soaked in the blood of his enemies, which he then uses to transfuse into other enemies that he treats. He is never seen trying to be stealthy, though. Shinobi also invokes another 17 tropes... all in 8 lines of dialogue.
