Adult Fear | |
| Spate (Video Game) / int_46118dc5 | comment |
Adult Fear: The Protagonist is dealing with the death of his daughter, which happened in part because he wasn't there to look after her due to working overtime. The last thing he ever told her was a promise to make it up for being absent from home so often, which he would obviously never get to fulfil anymore. Eventually, though, you find out she actually was on Pearl Islands, and went missing along with everyone else on there when it turned into the X Zone. Thus, the main reason why Bluth pushes on through the zone's soggy hell is because he still hopes to find her alive, against all the odds. | |

The Alcoholic | |
| Spate (Video Game) / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: Detective Bluth has been driven into alcoholism by his daughter's death. He has never visited her grave since then, claiming that absinthe provides enough of a closure already. At one point, he also ruefully reflects that he has no one left who is worth quitting for, and those who tell him to quit to save himself do not know that he is the last person who would be worth saving. However, that is also deflection to cope with the fact his wife left him explicitly because she could no longer handle his drinking. In the end, The good ending has Bluth throw his absinthe away and rebuild his life, bringing the robot back home, patching things up with his wife, remarrying her, finally buying the house on the hill he dreamed of, and also visiting his daughter's cenotaph. In the bad ending, he is unable to quit the absinthe, but is also unable to live addicted to it any longer, and so he simply jumps off the tower. | |

Alternate History | |
| Spate (Video Game) / int_a86069f | comment |
Alternate History: It is set in 1890, but one that features comparatively advanced, if bulky, technology like largely sentient robots and widespread floating drones. It's unclear when exactly it diverged from our world, but it had to be no later than the start of 17th century, since 1749 featured the so-called "Steam Wars", which were an actual conflict. | |
