Poacher is a 2D side-scrolling Metroidvania made by Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw. In a departure from his previous titles, it is his first game not to use the AGS engine.The game stars Derek Badger, an unflappable Yorkshireman who poaches game for a living. One night, whilst out blasting rabbits with his new shotgun, he is confronted by his best friend and arch-nemesis, Archibald the gamekeeper (aka "Gamey"). When Gamey accidentally falls down a hole, Derek goes down to help him out. He finds himself in a strange Underworld, inhabited by flesh-eating rabbits and spirit beings. After joining up with a spirit named Rebecca, it isn't long before Derek discovers himself involved in something far bigger than a simple rescue.It can be downloaded for free here.

Aliens Speaking English: It's been millennia since anyone in the Underworld interacted with the surface world — certainly longer than the English language has existed — but everyone down there who can speak (except maybe the Dark Ones) is fluent in some form of English.

Mission Control Is Off Its Meds
 Poacher (Video Game) / int_11734fc0
comment
Mission Control Is Off Its Meds: In the Abyss, the narrator is revealed to be the Judge, the god of the afterlife and the source of all negativity, who judges both Derek and Rebecca. Derek begins defying the Judge's narration when it directs him to leave the Abyss without Rebecca, but whether he kills the Judge or simply rescues Rebecca and escapes depends on whether you've unlocked the secret ending.

Multiple Endings
 Poacher (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: Mainly depending on a few factors. You need to hear the whole backstory in order to get the Good ending — the player will be outright alerted that facing the Dark Lord without doing so may be a bad idea. There is also a secret ending that is acquired by never shooting white rabbits, zombie Blemineg, or Gamey before his Compact.

Boss Arena Recovery
 Poacher (Video Game) / int_1bfc720a
comment
Boss Arena Recovery: There is a pipe in Krakomedusae's arena that dispenses spirit charges at regular intervals. It's there because the fight would be unwinnable to players who hadn't defeated Theridius first otherwise (as the regular shotgun doesn't work underwater), but using the Spirit of Peace in combination with it makes the fight ridiculously easy.

Poor Communication Kills: Rebecca noted that she wasn't really close with her father, partly because her father didn't want to educate her like he did with Magnus, but rather, keep her innocent. Derek notes that keeping Rebecca ignorant of the consequences of a Compact was a very stupid idea.

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

comment
Self-Fulfilling Prophecy: …except this gets him killed, as prophesied. Whoops. Not only does he give Derek the motive to fulfill the prophecy, but his actions even complete Derek's qualification for the prophecy. The prophecy describes the person who kills the Judge as having "lightning at his back", which doesn't apply to Derek… until the second form of the boss fight with The Judge, when he begins firing lightning bolts at you.

Fisticuffs Boss: The illusion of Rebecca's father in the Abyss; while not considered a boss fight by the game, Derek is stripped of Rebecca and all upgrades, and must regain them by freeing Rebecca and then blasting the hell out of the illusion, constantly being bombarded by Spirit Bombs the entire time. Derek does keep his shotgun, but it's completely useless until Rebecca is freed.

Unintentionally Unwinnable: When the King takes the floor out from under you, if you quickly go back the way you came, you can make the jump back to solid ground without being dumped into the Abyss. If you leave the room before falling in, the floor will come back, but the King will be gone. You have to fall in to progress, and you can't destroy the floor yourself.

Golden Ending

comment
Golden Ending: Word Of God says it's only for the "pure of heart." In other words, people who don't shoot the innocent — i.e., white rabbits, zombie Blemineg, or pre-Compact Gamey (before he throws the first punch). The Judge tries to judge Derek, but can't; recalling a prophecy in which he dies at the hands of someone who cannot be judged, he falls into a Villainous Breakdown, tries to kill Derek, and is killed by Derek in the process. When Derek leaves the Abyss with Rebecca, Magnus tells them that the Dark Ones suddenly died all at once, and Gamey claims that all negativity in the world has suddenly ceased. With no further problems possible (literally) for any of them, they all head to the pub, and Derek replaces the narrator/Judge for the end credits/enemy list.

The Dead Men in the Crystal Tombs are invincible and will attack you on sight with an unavoidable stream of energy, complete with a blood-curdling scream. They can't hurt you by touch, however, if they can't see you. Problem is, the area they inhabit is pitch-black, and you only have Rebecca as a tiny light source that you have to switch on and off to avoid detection. In the darkness, you can only see their eyes. When you're in the right position so you can see them without getting hurt… They are still not at all pleasant to look at.

Alternate Character Interpretation: An in-universe example with Derek, due to interactions with the Judge. Derek/the player's early-game behaviour is brought up near the end, with his behaviour regarding the white rabbits, zombie Blemineg, and fighting Gamey the first time being commented on. This also lets Derek's comment about just wanting to walk around with his twelve-gauge at the beginning of the game be either Blatant Lies or the truth.

All the Worlds Are a Stage: The final stretch of the good ending thematically harkens back to previous areas; partly justified because you're exiting the Abyss and heading back up to the surface, with the final boss fight occurring on the surface outside the manor. Also occurs for the secret ending, minus the final boss, who's already dead.

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Only in one boss fight, mostly because otherwise it wouldn't be much of a challenge: Gamey and Magnus use two abilities you can buy in the shop, abilities that the player can't use simultaneously. Plus, an attack that Derek and Rebecca can't use at all.

And Your Reward Is Clothes: Beat the game once to unlock the "Zero Suit Derek" outfit, which puts Derek in a tank top and boxers (and his hat and shoes). Beat the game with 100% Completion to unlock the "Lord O T'Manor" outfit, which puts Derek in a suit and top hat (and makes his shotgun eject money instead of spent casings).

Evil Poacher: Averted. Derek doesn't hunt any endangered species, as far as the player is aware, and he only does it to get by. In fact, he's a very nice and rather empathetic bloke who is more than willing to lend a hand to others in need. The Judge attempts to accuse him of being one of these; it backfires if you didn't shoot any of the white rabbits at the start of the game.

You Can't Fight Fate: Seems to be an ongoing theme in Yahtzee's works. The Judge is not amused when he realizes that a prophecy that results in his death is coming to pass, and attempts to kill Derek personally... which just gets him killed, as prophesied. This is in direct contrast with a certain powerful entity from another universe...

comment
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Early in the game, to reach the Spirit Kingdom, you must find a power-up in order to destroy a Spyrite barrier inconveniently blocking the way. Later, after making it to the Spirit King, the Kingdom is suddenly invaded by the Dark Ones, thanks to someone destroying the barrier. Oops!! At the end of the game, you learn that the Dark Ones only attacked because Rebecca broke the treaty by making a Compact, essentially making her responsible for the entire plot outside of Gamey falling down a hole. In the good ending, it turns out that the Spirit King ended up in this position; agreeing to the Dark Lord's terms meant that their strongest warrior was taken out of action, and the Dark Ones started invading en-masse as they had no intention of honoring their side of the agreement, they just wanted Rebecca and Derek out of the way.

Eldritch Abomination: The Dark Ones have practically become a whole race of these by this point. The Judge outright states that humans have tried and failed to comprehend him, though, unlike most beings of his ilk, he can communicate on an equal level with lesser beings, and is even capable of things such as anger and pride. It turns out that killing him gets rid of all the negativity in the world. The Dead Men in the Crystal Tombs are probably some form of this as well.

Big Bad: The Dark Lord. You kill him in all three endings. In the bad ending, this only gives the Dark Ones an excuse to wage all-out war. In the Good ending, killing the Dark Lord is entirely justified, because they were never planning to hold their end of the bargain in the first place, and attacked the surface world. In the Judgment ending, killing the Judge ends all evil and suffering; as the Dark Ones — including the Dark Lord — are beings of evil energy, they all die as a result.

The second form of the Judge cannot be harmed unless he decides to attack you directly, which he will always do, even when he's in critical health and could easily whittle you down with ranged attacks instead. (In fairness, however, it is a very effective attack.)

MacGuffin: The Blemineg artifacts. Refreshingly, they can be acquired in any order. (Though admittedly, you'll have a hard time of it if you go for the sunken ruins first, since you'll be unable to shoot underwater.) They don't actually do anything — Derek and Rebecca are powering up by themselves for the most part. This is even lampshaded by the fact that they're kettles.

Rage Against the Heavens: By Derek. Granted, it's mostly in self-defence, but the fact that the Judge was torturing Rebecca a few minutes earlier does not help his case.

Nothing Is Scarier
 Poacher (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3
comment
Nothing Is Scarier: The Dead Men in the Crystal Tombs are invincible and will attack you on sight with an unavoidable stream of energy, complete with a blood-curdling scream. They can't hurt you by touch, however, if they can't see you. Problem is, the area they inhabit is pitch-black, and you only have Rebecca as a tiny light source that you have to switch on and off to avoid detection. In the darkness, you can only see their eyes. When you're in the right position so you can see them without getting hurt… They are still not at all pleasant to look at. Most of the fight with the Judge has him mostly covered in darkness, only certain parts of his body lit up at a time. All you can tell is that his head is somewhat humanoid in shape, and he has two yellow eyes... that don't last very long.

comment
Hostile Show Takeover: Subverted in the good ending; played straight in the secret ending. The "narrator" (the one who explains new power-ups to you, etc.) is actually the Judge, a deity who rules the Abyss. In both endings, Derek openly defies his narration, but in the good one, he just escapes the Abyss with Rebecca and leaves the Judge to present the end credits. In the secret ending, Derek kills the Judge and (hilariously) presents the end credits himself.

comment
Developer's Foresight: If, at any point in the Abyss, Derek is accused of something the player never actually did, he simply brushes it off, frustrating the Judge and canceling the appropriate judgment. Making this happen with all three accusations unlocks the secret ending. When encountering Gamey in the Lidenbrock Sea, shooting him after he hurts you doesn't lock you out of the Golden Ending, as Derek acted in self-defense.

What the Hell, Hero?
 Poacher (Video Game) / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: Played straight and subverted. Rebecca eventually realizes that the entire conflict is her fault, because she entered a Compact with Derek, which her brother and the King call her out on. If you kill the Dark Lord without getting the whole story, the King will call her out on it and banish her. The Judge also attempts this on Derek, but depending on your actions, it blows up in his face, so to speak, and even causes a Villainous Breakdown. Played straight with Gamey if you shoot him the first time you fight him.

comment
Tactical Suicide Boss: Theridius, the giant spider, has one attack that can potentially leave it exposed, but it won't use it unless the blocks below it are solid. Exposing its weak point requires you to take the blocks out from under it after it starts the attack, but before it hits the blocks. The second form of the Judge cannot be harmed unless he decides to attack you directly, which he will always do, even when he's in critical health and could easily whittle you down with ranged attacks instead. (In fairness, however, it is a very effective attack.)

Turns Red
 Poacher (Video Game) / int_e3ab9e00
comment
Turns Red: Every boss in the game gets harder as it takes damage — some get faster, some start spawning Mooks, and others improve their attacks. The first form of the Judge takes this literally; his eyes gradually turn from yellow to red as they take damage, and when one of them pops, it stops being used as a position for his "gun", which makes it much harder to reach the other one.

Decapitated Army: Subverted in the bad ending. The Dark Ones are not a hive mind — attempting to decapitate them by killing the Dark Lord only gives them a martyr and an excuse to wage another war. Played straight in the good ending, however. The secret ending turns it up to eleven: killing the Judge eradicates all forces of evil and negativity in the world, including the Dark Ones.
