Secretly Selfish | |
| Ring of Pain (Video Game) / int_16bf5630 | comment |
Secretly Selfish: Shadow suggests that Owl's generosity is not motivated by a desire to help the player. Siding with Owl in the Light ending implies the outcome is good for Owl and negative for the protagonist. | |

Amnesiac Hero | |
| Ring of Pain (Video Game) / int_41ba335a | comment |
Amnesiac Hero: There is virtually no backstory provided up-front. Nearly all plot exposition comes from brief visits with Owl and the Shadow, where you are allowed to ask one question each time. Based on the questions, it's evident the protagonist doesn't know anything more than the player does about what's going on. | |

No Fair Cheating | |
| Ring of Pain (Video Game) / int_42d9daf9 | comment |
No Fair Cheating: If you save and load twice on the same floor, an enemy called Time Weaver will appear next to you in retribution for perceived abuse of the save/load system. It has enormous stats, acts as a blocker, and grants no reward for killing it. While you can just ignore it and move the other direction, the decreased tactical flexibility will probably make you do worse on that floor. | |

Beneath the Mask | |
| Ring of Pain (Video Game) / int_4fbc0887 | comment |
Beneath the Mask: One interpretation of the plot is that it takes some pages from Jungian psychology, with the Shadow representing suppressed aspects of the protagonist's self. This is further reinforced by the presence of a Mask inventory slot, as though the protagonist is willing to wear any falsehood if it means hiding what's beneath. | |

Money for Nothing | |
| Ring of Pain (Video Game) / int_5534431f | comment |
Money for Nothing: Once on the Light endgame path, you will likely earn an outrageous number of souls, but there are no shops or mimics to spend them on. It is, however, a good time to be holding the Soul Cannon spellbook, which can repeatedly convert 30 souls into 30 damage with a fast recharge timer. | |

Central Theme | |
| Ring of Pain (Video Game) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Although the plot is just vague enough to be open for wide interpretation, one major theme is "masks". The setting was created by the protagonist out of a seeming desire to mask the Shadow aspects of themself. There is a mask inventory slot, with each option representing a different persona. Even Owl is wearing a mask, which is only revealed after accepting the Shadow. | |

Game Face | |

Game Face: Owl will expose his true face if you defy him. That little bird beak is actually a nose, and his sharp-toothed mouth is where looked his neck was. | |

Rainbow Pimp Gear | |
| Ring of Pain (Video Game) / int_7f15b05c | comment |
Rainbow Pimp Gear: Seemingly parodied with the tacky-looking Rainbow Socks and Fancy Tights, both of which give good stats for their common rarity. Dying with Rainbow Socks equipped grants you an achievement called Colorful Corpse. | |

Joke Item: The Spoon, which goes into the weapon slot. It grants -2 attack and -2 defense, and you can get an achievement called "Here Comes The Airplane" for attacking Owl with it, and other achievements for completing runs with it. It can be more useful after obtaining the inverted candle. | |

Feathered Fiend | |
| Ring of Pain (Video Game) / int_b42e16fb | comment |
Feathered Fiend: The Loombirds are a mid to high level monster that can be encountered deep in the nest. They tend to move around the level looking for the player, and will attack the player even if he does not attack them. They will attack twice if the player does attack them. Owl, despite appearances, is a subversion, as long as he thinks you will kill Shadow for him. | |

Irony | |
| Ring of Pain (Video Game) / int_c335b9ec | comment |
Irony: The first boss of the Light Path, Confidence, will whittle you down with ranged attacks at a distance. When you come close, it will prepare to jump to the opposite side of the ring in cowardice. Two floors down, Dsicepline starts with high attack, defense, and speed, but they will be decreased each time it gets hit. | |

Small, Secluded World | |
| Ring of Pain (Video Game) / int_d934b1c7 | comment |
Small, Secluded World: Based on suggestions from the trailers, Owl, and Shadow, the dungeon is some kind of "in-between world" created by the protagonist and populated by physical manifestations of fear and doubt. Owl considers this world to be his home, and suggests it's the protagonist's own decision as to whether he/she will stay trapped inside indefinitely. | |

Light Is Not Good | |
| Ring of Pain (Video Game) / int_e543a655 | comment |
Light Is Not Good: For all of Owl's insistence to spread Light, he doesn't take kindly to defiance, and it seems to be the "wrong" choice in terms of what's good for the protagonist. | |
