| | The End Is Nigh (Video Game) |
comment |
A platformer developed by Edmund McMillen. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the player controls Ash (voiced by Rich Evans), a one-eyed blob creature who after his favorite video game cartridge finally breaks decides to go out into the world and build himself a friend.Platforming is reminiscent of Meat Boy, meaning that challenge is to be expected. |

Multiple Endings: Three of them. One for beating the game in the most obvious manner, one for beating a set of levels unlocked by collecting at least 450 tumors, and one for beating the unglitched cartridge that Ash is streaming at the very start of the game. |

Failure Is the Only Option: You actually play the game Ash is streaming. The game breaks as soon as you "die", and the levels are designed to ensure you won't complete them all in a single life. Subverted if you do manage to complete them without dying, which earns you a Non Standard Game Over in which Ash finishes his stream and doesn't go outside to make himself a friend and an achievement for your troubles. |

After the End: By the time you start the game, Ash is one of the last...things, alive in this world. Then something happens overnight once you finally make a friend, leaving the world even worse off for the second half of the game. And if you have enough tumors, you can survive the THIRD apocalypse and enter Nevermore. |

Downer Ending: As per tradition for a Edmund McMillen game, Ash dies in the first ending, although with a smile. The second ending is a bit more optimistic, even though Ash is transformed into a small planet and stuck in Nevermore forever, at least now he is no longer alone and Steven is walking on him. |

Public Domain Soundtrack: The whole soundtrack are reworked classical pieces. The theme of The End is Camille Saint-Saëns' "Danse Macabre", the music in the Wall of Sorrow is Franz Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsody", the music in the secret underground Mega Tumor rooms and Ruin is Edvard Grieg's "In The Hall of the Mountain King", while the music of Golgotha is Modest Mussorgsky's "Night On Bald Mountain", just to mention some examples. |

Guide Dang It!: Accessing the Nevermore stage. Jumping into the orb at the start of Acceptance without having at least 450 tumors just repeatedly kills you until you get a game over - and to make it worse, even if do you have the required amount of tumors, you still have to wait until 450 tumors are depleted. If you don't pick up on the small hint you're given that the entry point is significant, you might assume that what happens when you enter it prematurely is just a glitch, and that the entrance does not actually lead anywhere. |

comment |
Foreshadowing: Pay close attention to the very beginning of the game, where Ash plays the "End is Nigh" cartridge just before it breaks. His livestream name is "ASH_DIES_ALONE", which is exactly what happens in the game's main ending. The optional Future levels are a hint to Nevermore's existence. To drive the point home, next to the blob creatures that take you to said Future levels have signs with a roman numeral from 1 to 4 on them. The glowing orb at the end of Ruin has the roman numeral for 5 on it. |

Soundtrack Dissonance: The game that takes place in a dismal, post-apocalyptic setting has "Hungarian Dance" and "Flight of the Bumblebee" as soundtracks of all things. Although it is likely the themes were meant to represent the more chaotic side of doomsday. |

Shout-Out: All the collectible cartridge games are a reference to a classic game. For example, River City Rancid, Catastrovania, Pus-Man... The Kuko Jr. and Kuko enemies are one to Kracko, both in name and design. The Charger enemy. The headblobs you can enter to play hidden Future levels are called Steven. The Nevermore ending also features Steven walking on Ash and ends with his face. (This resembles the setting of the canned game ∅uroboros) The headblob found at the beginning of The End stage says "Must be blood, must be fresh...feed me..." |

Anti-Frustration Features: After assembling your "friend" and somehow triggering the second apocalypse, all the tumours you've collected so far count as extra lives. Luckily, reaching a warp point resets your tumour count to whatever amount you had collected, and you can always revisit the Past levels to get any tumours you missed. |
