Quintessence - The Blighted Venom is a freeware RPG Maker game with a very high Story to Gameplay Ratio. After a very cryptic Distant Finale introduction the story joins Reivier Wirt, an ordinary resident of Korbin Village, as he begins what seems like a normal day. By the end of the day, however, circumstances have led him to discover that his wife, Serai Wirt, has been supplanted by a shape-shifting doppelganger named Lunair Naeryns, who tries to kill him. He is saved by one of the others in the village, who knows Lunair from her childhood, and the information he reveals incites her to strike a deal: in exchange for him and several others undertaking an adventure on her behalf, she will return home and secure the freedom and return of Serai. Distrusting, Reivier follows her, and the story follows the two from there.The magic in this story consists almost entirely of voluntary shapeshifters, of which there are many (whether they can shift into other people, animals or powerful elemental forms). All also have Super Senses. Much if not most of the focus is on the characters themselves rather than the events, including (or possibly especially) those who would barely qualify as bit characters in an ordinary RPG. Combat (which is not turn-based, but rather a top-down action system) and puzzles are sparse and dictated more by what the story calls for (or allows for) than a desire to keep the player active; there are no statistics to manage and you may not even notice the effect of your character level (largely because there are barely any battles at all).The ongoing game currently has eleven out of a planned fourteen chapters released, and can be found at the author's website, Freebird Games. | |

Love Potion | |
| Quintessence (Video Game) / int_14a8974a | comment |
Love Potion: Duke Rayne convinces Heath to slip one of these to Lunair, but she sees it coming and doesn't drink it. Later it does get used on Reivier after Serai "dies"; it turned out to be the right thing to do at the time, but once Serai returned Lunair was unable to bring herself to give him the antidote. It should be noted that the potion is rather explicitly described by Lunair's mother as a poison of the mind that induces artificial "infatuation" rather than love, and was an experimental new version according to her father. | |

Defrosting Ice Queen | |
| Quintessence (Video Game) / int_28c1d543 | comment |
Defrosting Ice Queen: Lunair is a pretty classic example towards Reivier. She's still a bitch to almost everyone else, though, and retains a thin layer of ice towards Reivier as well, albeit a much thinner one than for everyone else except Kaire and Alden. | |

Difficulty Levels: Almost every puzzle or fight prompts you with the option to go to easy mode before it starts, to make sure that virtually any player will be able to reach the end of the game if they want. Easy mode tends to be much easier. | |

Lampshade Hanging | |
| Quintessence (Video Game) / int_2a090d00 | comment |
Lampshade Hanging: In a flashback cutscene of Reivier and Serai as children, they walk through a forest you already visited in-game, and as usual, the mushroom you are normally picking as healing items are growing everywhere. When you try to grab one, you get a surprising reaction. This also just timeline consistency, since the game keeps track of which mushrooms you pick and which remain, and, as mentioned, this is a flashback, so all the mushrooms are still there. | |

Evolving Credits: The credits are shown at the end of each arc as well as whatever the current last chapter is, so that you can appreciate this effect. The very first arc's credits still spoiled Lunair learning to transform into animals, if you don't count the prologue as having already done that. | |

Recurring Riff | |
| Quintessence (Video Game) / int_3bbf3fef | comment |
Recurring Riff: To Realize, aka the title screen song, along with several Leitmotifs. This song also exists in-universe, as both Reivier and Lunair can play it on an ocarina and a piano respectively, both citing the fact that it's a relatively easy chord progression for learners. "Tone of Rain" and the battle theme are basically two arrangements of the same melody - one of them is a melancholic and dignified piano piece, while the other one is a more adventurous strings arrangement. | |

Blessed with Suck: The Quintessence gives you the ability to transform into other humans with ease, Super Senses, and a powerful Healing Factor. It is also fatal within a time period that the characters suspect can be measured in months. Unsurprisingly, those who know about that detail would rather not have it. | |

Animorphism | |
| Quintessence (Video Game) / int_4aa3c552 | comment |
Animorphism: A normal dose of the Quintessence just lets you transform into other people, but a special concentrated dose allows the Guarav Town thief, Lunair's mother and eventually Lunair herself to transform into animals. Just like people, they need a scrap of fur or similar from the animal before they can do it. | |

Jumped at the Call | |
| Quintessence (Video Game) / int_53b6ab6a | comment |
Jumped at the Call: Used and possibly deconstructed. Reivier jumped at the call so hard that when someone else stole his first call to adventure, he ingested a long term but fatal poison with only a hypothetical cure just to get ahold of another one. But the prologue implies that he will come to regret his becoming involved more than anything in the world. | |

Super Smoke: Users of "pure" Quintessence can shapeshift into fundamental elements of nature such as the wind, ice, or light. This is somewhat useful in combat as well. Normally, this would be a spoiler, but the prologue blatantly shows it off. | |

Journey to the Center of the Mind | |
| Quintessence (Video Game) / int_586589bc | comment |
Journey to the Center of the Mind: In chapter 11 Lunair gets to explore a place seemingly made up of her own memories, in order to be shown several key memories by the person who's trying to possess her. Almost all of the memories that make up the dreamscape are scenes of Lunair, Reivier and/or Serai, and a few Hueys, clearly implying something about what's most important to her. The amount of memories showing her and Reivier certainly makes some Ship Tease. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Duke Rayne comments to Dirk that his daughter's actions led to far worse consequences than anything he's ever done as he flees the burning remains of his city while an attacking army slaughters every civilian they can find. And yes, it is entirely her fault. Though Eshe and her people would probably argue that Agatha caused even more deaths than that by messing up the Source. Just not as spectacularly, and not all at once. | |

Leitmotif: Lunair has one (or more precisely, Lunair's feelings for Reivier have one), and there's another associated with memories of childhood promises (between Reivier and Serai and between Lunair and Huey). | |

| Quintessence (Video Game) / int_a2b38d3b | comment |
Eye Scream: It's not shown, but it's revealed after the fact that Reivier had one of his eyes cut out so it could be used to modify one of Lunair's into an early warning system. It regrew, of course. | |

Healing Factor | |
| Quintessence (Video Game) / int_a5fb0d24 | comment |
Healing Factor: "Since they can only shift into people or animals they've come in contact with, shapeshifters can't transform their bodies into weapons, but they can transform into a fully healthy version of themselves or another, even if they were bleeding to death or severely maimed beforehand. Practically speaking, the only way to die is to get so overwhelmed that you don't even have time to "half shift" into yourself before being knocked unconscious. | |

Money Spider | |
| Quintessence (Video Game) / int_bc0ad0c0 | comment |
Money Spider: Entirely averted. In general you will spend most of the game with neither a penny in your inventory nor anywhere to spend it; money is given to you when you arrive in Aeria and when you go to the Winter Festival and is used exclusively within those areas for things which have no effect on your abilities in the rest of the game. The gameplay is actually not approximately finished yet; as the description of a "placeholder item" found underwater tells you, equipment will be added to the game one day. | |

Teeth-Clenched Teamwork | |
| Quintessence (Video Game) / int_c3648b87 | comment |
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Lunair and Reivier start out as this, for obvious reasons. Over time, they upgrade to a kind of Fire-Forged Friends and may or may not be more than that. The fact that Lunair drugged Reivier with a Love Potion and the fact that Serai is still alive complicate matters however. | |

There Is Only One Bed: Happens in Aeria, with the common reaction inverted: Lunair demands Reivier to sleep on the floor (instead of taking the floor herself), another example for her arrogance and egoism. | |

What the Hell, Hero?: Lunair causes this reaction with quite a few of her actions, for example lighting a cat's tail on fire and killing her about-to-be husband, who could have become a pretty good Defector from Decadence. As well, though before her Heel–Face Turn induced by Alden, her abduction of Serai... | |
