The Messenger is a 2018 Retraux Metroidvania platformer video game developed by Sabotage Studio and published by Devolver Digital.Originally released for the Nintendo Switch and Steam, the game would later be released for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.When a demon army besieges his village, a young ninja must journey through a cursed land to deliver a scroll that is paramount to his clan’s survival. The game is a retro-styled platformer which allows the player to travel through time between an 8-bit styled game and a glorious 16-bit styled adventure.The game itself is a huge homage to platformers like Ninja Gaiden and its influence is very obvious not only from having a ninja as the main character, but also having carefully designed levels with excellent controls and being very challenging.A free Downloadable Content expansion called Picnic Panic was released on July 11, 2019. It involves the Ninja traveling to a tropical island to rescue the Phobekins from Barma'thazël. The area contains three new areas and bosses, as well as a literal Money Sink for extra time gems. Watch the trailer here.Sea of Stars, a retreaux turn-based Role-Playing Game, was released on August 29, 2023. It is a Prequel that is set in the same world as The Messenger. Notably, Yasunori Mitsuda was a guest composer for the game.Not to be confused with the 2001 French computer game of the same title.

Antepiece: The game does a good job at giving the players opportunity to learn how to use their new toys or showcase certain dangers without cheap shots. Whenever a mechanic unique to the area shows up the game also makes sure to have them in safe areas so the players have time to adjust and learn how they actually work.

Arbitrary Skepticism: In a world of demons, magic, curses, prophecies, and time travel, the Shopkeeper still thinks the idea of a giant robot butler and a flying sky serpent named Manfred sounds utterly ridiculous and the Ninja must be hallucinating due to oxygen deprivation to have ever conceived of such things.

Breather Level: In-Universe and Lampshaded in Bamboo Creek. After the dark, oppressive Catacombs filled with crusher traps, spikes, and undead, Bamboo Creek is a bright and green level with upbeat music, non-threatening enemies, few traps beside bottomless pits, with sparing enemy placement perfect for stylishly cloudstepping through. The lampshades come in with the Shopkeeper's extremely upbeat attitude upon arriving, refusing to tell you a story so you can go out and enjoy yourself, and calling the Ninja paranoid when he cites Suspicious Video-Game Generosity, finding the idea of a boss in Bamboo Creek preposterous.

Poor Communication Kills: The Emerald Golem boss could have been avoided if the Emerald Golem just said it was mining and not actively trying to kill the Messenger. In the Picnic Panic DLC the wisp was trying to conjure a spell from his Voodoo Totem to prevent the nearby volcano from erupting. The Shopkeeper forgets to inform the Ninja that one of his duties as the new Shopkeeper is sending Quarble to save his own Messenger from death, causing the Soldier to die permanently. Oops.

Power at a Price
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_1ebbdddb
comment
Power at a Price: Accepting 'THE DEAL' from the Voodoo Mask means getting double maximum health and triple attack power. However, 'THE DEAL' requires sacrificing Quarble, meaning you get only one life. Actually, Quarble ends up surviving, but he's so mad at the Ninja for being willing to sacrifice him that he refuses to save the Ninja anymore. Gameplay-wise, it makes you much stronger, but if you die even once, it's game over and nothing can save you.

Failed a Spot Check: It turns out the scroll that the ninja was carrying all this time was a map. The Shopkeeper is incredulous that the ninja never checked what was on it, seeing as how it was the focal point of his quest. Once the Demon General has been defeated, the Shopkeeper neglects to tell the ninja the rule of "if your messenger isn't back in ten seconds, it means that they died" until more than ten seconds have passed.

Only Sane Man: The Shopkeeper is clearly exasperated with her fellow Blue Robe members, as one constantly yells out ambiguous prophecies, while the other won’t shut up about "doing the thing". The Ninja, meanwhile, plays this role to the Shopkeeper; he's forced to put up with her repeated abuse of the fourth wall, general snarkiness, and her ridiculous grudge over being told her shop doesn't look like a shop.

Big Little Man: As you make your way through the Catacombs, a mysterious necromancer twice your height regularly harasses you with his minions. When you finally face him, he turns out to be a short little pipsqueak, and was using a combination of levitation and a very long cloak to make himself look taller. Parodied in Picnic Panic when it seems like he'll do the same reveal, only to turn around and reveal he's on stilts.

Fusion Dance: The Order of the Blue Robe members can "do the thing" to become the boss of the Tower of Time. It is an ability that all Messengers share and is what it is used to defeat the Curse for good. At the end of Picnic Panic DLC Barma'thazël, does the thing with the Dark Messenger and becomes a gigantic version of himself aptly named Barma'thething. Naturally the Ninja and the Blue Robes also do the thing to fight him on equal footing.

Money Sink: In New Game Plus runs, reviving after death requires paying Time Shards up front, so keeping enough on hand still serves a purpose. Between the 1.0.4 and the 2.0.2 versions of the game, the sink in the shop was a literal sink that you could dump your Time Shards into. It did absolutely nothing other than literally flush your money down the drain. The Shopkeeper repeatedly tried to explain that to the Ninja, who stubbornly refused to believe there was no reward for putting enough money in. After verision 2.0.2, the sink becomes clogged. It's possible to "fix" it via a side-quest so that it actually leads somewhere when examined... and it turns out it's the place where you can buy toys of your enemies for ridiculous prices.

Five-Second Foreshadowing: The Shopkeeper tells you that "John Gaiden" invented the Climbing Claws, because the game is, so far, similar to Ninja Gaiden. Once you take her spot and the Soldier takes yours, you give him the Charge Beam upgrade and tell him it was invented by "Ray Troid", and shortly after that, the world opens up to become a Metroidvania-style map. Also Played for Laughs the first time Colos and Suses are encountered.

The Ninja gets it hard should he agree to sacrifice Quarble to the Tiki Mask for a Stat-Power-Up at the cost of starting Final Death Mode. Quarble lives, but he's so angry at the Ninja that he flat-out refuses to save him anymore. Compared to his sarcastic commentary he makes on every other death, his quote for you right before the game over is so calm it feels like Tranquil Fury.

Skewed Priorities: After the Ninja returns from the Corrupted Future, the Artificer is much more excited to hear about the horrifying Eldritch Abomination therein and winning his bet with the Shopkeeper than he is about the Ninja making it back alive, much less finding the MacGuffin he went in there to get. When Phantom is rescued, the very first thing the Artificer asks him is if he'd like to try the Tower of Time gauntlet.

Fluffy the Terrible: The Chinese dragon-styled serpent that deals 1-hit-KO damage in the chase sequence and can shoot powerful fireballs is named Manfred. When the Ninja questions this, he admits it's not actually his name, but he would prefer to be called that because he wants to be a butler and Manfred sounds more butler-like than whatever his real name is (which we don't learn).

Ambiguous Ending: After the credits, there is a stinger which shows the Shopkeeper finishing telling the events of the game to a cowboy Messenger who had asked for a story, leaving it ambiguous as to whether the events of the game actually happened (or perhaps will happen, if the Cowboy was Messenger at some point during the 500 years in between the Ninja's two time periods), or whether the Shopkeeper just made the whole thing up.

Surprisingly Creepy Moment: The game is lighthearted and silly from the very beginning, with even the more macabre-looking characters and places given enough humor to keep them from feeling too scary. Then you get to the Corrupted Future. It's an utterly nightmarish world, with the landscape consisting entirely of some kind gruesome Meat Moss that has eyeballs randomly growing out of it, there are giant tentacles flailing around in the background, and the moon appears to be shattered. And then you reach the boss, which is a massive eldritch thing so enormous you can't even see what it looks like in its entirety, and which you can't even kill, only run away from. On top of all that, the jokes are completely absent, and they don't come back until you finish what you came there to do.

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_50727f8d
comment
Death Is a Slap on the Wrist: Technically, you never actually die. A small demon named Quarble has been contracted to use his time-manipulating ring to rescue you from death at the last second and put you back at the last checkpoint. However, he expects to be paid for his work, so every time you "die", he will follow you around for a while, and all Time Shards collected will go to him instead of you. He leaves once his fee has been paid, once he gets bored, or whenever a boss shows up, whichever comes first. You can buy an upgrade in the shop that cuts his fee in half. Also, even though "death" may be a slap on the wrist for you, the entire process apparently causes the Messenger himself to suffer agonizing pain every time. The race against the Dark Messenger in Picnic Panic is ostensibly supposed to avert this, as the stakes are the loser of the race having their Greed Demon killed. However, if you lose, Quillble shows up to bail you and Quarble out, rewinding time to the beginning of the race. The New Game Plus option averts this, you need to have enough time shards on hand to pay Quarble the entire cost upfront or it's game over, adding a lot of stress onto dying, especially if you just bought an upgrade. If you complete the Tiki Mask in Picnic Panic and carry that file over to a New Game Plus, you can sacrifice Quarble to it in return for doubling your health, defense and attack. But since Quarble isn't there for you anymore, it means that the next death you suffer is permanent with nothing to stop it.

The Ninja tends to have some lines of dialogue after every part of his quest is done but he's almost catatonic after returning from his experience in the Corrupted Future. He also engages in some serious jabs with The Dragon and the Big Bad.

Suspicious Video-Game Generosity
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_5561eef8
comment
Suspicious Video-Game Generosity: Before almost every boss fight, there's a shop entrance with a lantern on each side containing a health and ki refill. The Ninja lampshades this at the end of Bamboo Creek when he asks the Shopkeeper about the upcoming boss, only for the Shopkeeper to say there is no boss, and imply that the Ninja is a crazy person who sees patterns where they don't exist. Naturally, the pattern continues to repeat for the rest of the game. And that one time in Bamboo Creek? There really is nothing there. No boss fight.

10-Minute Retirement

10-Minute Retirement: After the Ninja finishes his duty as the Messenger and passes it along to someone else, he becomes the new Shopkeeper... until his Messenger dies and he has to pick up where he left off, literal minutes later (at least to him, since he spent those minutes in the shop which exists outside of time).

Hero of Another Story: As it turns out, many Messengers have taken the journey to carry the scroll eastward. The Soldier could have had his own sprawling adventure to deliver the scroll to the Glacial Peak. Unfortunately, he perishes not too far in, forcing the Ninja back into action. Additionally, at least two Messengers managed two great feats: one of them recovered the Music Box from the Forlorn Temple and another found the first two Musical Notes in order to break its curse.

Charged Attack
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_589e54d3
comment
Charged Attack: One of the higher tier upgrades gives the Messenger a charge attack that deals triple damage. Unlike many charge attacks this one is passive, automatically charging as long as you're not attacking. The first (and only) upgrade that your successor receives from your shop before his untimely death is a standard Metroid-style Charge Beam.

Gang of Hats: From how the Ninja hails from a traditional Japan-esque town of village and the Soldier comes from a futuristic military outpost, we can extrapolate that each Messenger has their own motif and hometown; monks, cowboys, and Mongolian archers form the basis for three other generations of Messengers.

Heel–Face Turn: After Ruxxtin is defeated, he realizes that evil just isn’t working out for him, and promises he won’t do the world any more harm. True to his word, he actually helps you in the future, leaving behind an amulet that allows you to access the Cloud Ruins again and a note that describes the hidden entrance to the Dark Caves. Oddly, he continues to wear his necromancer outfit despite it being designed for an evil look.

Plot Hole
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_6331ba26
comment
Plot Hole: We learn from defeating the Cursed Monk that each Messenger also has their own Greed Demon to revive them. Once the Soldier rolls around, though, the Shopkeeper tells the Ninja that he had to send his own Greed Demon to revive the Soldier. A rare intentional example with the Rivière Turquoise area. In the past, it is a rather gloomy place with lots of dead trees and green acid, while in the future it is lush with vegetation and water. Talking to the Shopkeeper will have her tell Ninja that it used to be ruled by demons, and completely charred until a powerful Messenger drove them out and brought in the Butterfly Matriarch, so that the grove could heal and become lush again. Talking to her again will have Ninja point out that this explanation implies that there was somehow a Messenger between his two time periods. The Shopkeeper will accuse him of "ruining the show" in response. Even more confusingly, it is later revealed that the Messenger that brought the Butterfly Matriarch was the Monk/Queen of Quills, who supposedly had her journey before Ninja.

Iaijutsu Practitioner: The late-game Charged Attack ability appears to function this way, since it works by not pressing the attack button for several seconds in order to unleash a single, powerful blow.

Passing the Torch: What eventually happens to every Messenger that succeeds the journey to the Glacial Peak and defeat the challenges of the Tower of Time. They must pass the scroll to a new Messenger so the cycle can continue. However, the Ninja's Shopkeeper neglects to tell him that he has to send Quarble out to save the current Messenger, and the Messenger after the Ninja actually dies.

In his version, the acceptable targets for whom no guards are needed to prevent them from escaping the cauldron because they keep pulling each other back in are "people who think the order doesn't apply anymore when another line opens up at the market".

Medium Awareness: The Shopkeeper definitely knows she is in a video game, and will make meta-jokes about various games and make remarks like "if you fought the final boss already, we wouldn't have much of a game", which usually confuse the Messenger. However, the Messenger can apparently see the dialog boxes and hear the game's music, and is also Genre Savvy enough to pick up on the fact that a shop with a lantern on each side containing health and ki refills means there is a boss fight in the next room (except that when he points this out, there isn't actually a boss in that area and the Shopkeeper calls him crazy for seeing patterns that aren't there). When he briefly takes over as the new Shopkeeper for the next Messenger, his level of medium awareness increases appropriately.

Between the 1.0.4 and the 2.0.2 versions of the game, the sink in the shop was a literal sink that you could dump your Time Shards into. It did absolutely nothing other than literally flush your money down the drain. The Shopkeeper repeatedly tried to explain that to the Ninja, who stubbornly refused to believe there was no reward for putting enough money in.

Gag Dub: The game includes all the requisite language options, including standard french. However, in addition to these, it also includes a seldom-seen "Québécois" version (Sabotage Studios is based in Québec City). This makes an already funny game that much more hillarious by giving every single character an exagerated french-canadian accent, rife with Funetik Aksent and Totally Radical. There are even a few Québec-specific pop culture references that are absent from all other versions of the game.

Overly Long Gag
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_a188ac4b
comment
Overly Long Gag: If you repeatedly attempt to open the cabinet in the shop, the Shopkeeper will have a seemingly endless amount of dialogue as she attempts to discourage you from opening the cabinet, eventually trying to bore you with a long and philosophical speech that you can’t fast-forward through. She even has three unique cabinet rants over the course of the game depending on the situation, the last one even parodying the first rant when you are supposed to open the cabinet but try to leave the shop instead. The cabinet returns in a secret area in the Picnic Panic DLC, with even more of the same.

comment
The Chosen Many: Through the Ninja's adventure it's implied that he's not the first Messenger to undertake the journey. He's also not the first to succeed, either - it turns out the "Western Hero" is the Ninja's predecessor from 500 years in the past, and the Order of the Blue Robes are an entire society of previous Messengers who have undergone the journey and completed their trials. The Shopkeeper herself is implied (and confirmed by the developers) to be the very first Messenger. It just happens that the Ninja is skilled enough and far enough in the cycle that he can finish the work that his predecessors began (also his intended successor is Killed Off for Real, throwing a wrench into things and forcing the Order to rely on the Ninja further), slaying the Demon King and freeing Phantom from the Music Box, and the assembled Messengers at the end (as well as the Phantom) have enough combined power to destroy the Curse for good.

Haughty Help: Quarble wastes no time in mocking Ninja's (consequently the player's) skill, or rather the lack of it, after saving him from death. The few times he (sort of) apologizes is if the Ninja dies via crushing because apparently that's a pretty horrible death even for him.

Mickey Mousing: The machinery of the Music Box is synced up to the background music. It's also inactive during the music's intro, so you can exploit this trope by entering and exiting a shop to reset the music and give you a few seconds to easily get past the next few obstacles. The giant mushrooms in the background of Quillshroom Marsh "sing" along with a certain section of the background music.

Tennis Boss: One of Phantom’s attacks has him launch a projectile at you that both of you can reflect. If you win the tennis duel, Phantom will be stunned, allowing you to deal some heavy damage. If you mess up the timing, however, the projectile will explode and likely damage you. Phantom also doesn't make the same mistakes as other Tennis Bosses and will reflect the projectile away from you to make it harder for you to hit, sometimes even curving it.

comment
Xanatos Gambit: Barma'thazël pulls a rather elaborate one in Picnic Panic - even when you think you've foiled his plans, he's just got a backup plan that works because you foiled his previous plan. He lures the Ninja by kidnapping Phobekins and using their fear to activate the Voodoo Altar creating the Dark Messenger, then he uses the Voodoo Idols in the Voodoo Heart in order to kill Quarble and try kill the Ninja for good. When that fails? Barma'thazël also wanted that, as he needed to unlink Dark Messenger from his greed demon and "do the thing". After he's defeated again, he also planned for that, and uses the energy of the fallen Dark Messenger into a Magic Seed and manages to run away. He then tricks Colos and Suses into growing the thing for an unknown purpose.

Nice Guy: Even in a world full of demons and death lurking at every corner the Ninja still finds some nice people. The Wisp inside the Emerald Golem is actually a fairly nice guy, he politely accepts Ninja's apologies and holds no grudges to the point he waits the Ninja to be out of his sight to mourn the loss of his golem so he won't upset him. Colos and Suses, the Cyclopses are rather nice guys who bear no ill will against the Ninja and only fight him in order to test him. After defeating them they aid him in reaching the Glacial Peak. And later in the game they help the Ninja find another Music Note after he helps them by growing their Power Thistle. Manfred, the Dragon is quite a chill dude. He's nice and kind and will be very grateful for the Ninja helping him by saving his life after the Underworld collapses and taking him back to the Ninja Village also offering a ride for him to help save the Elemental Skylands.

No Name Given: All of the game's human cast with the exception of Muse and Phantom are only ever referred to by their titles, with bosses and non-human NPCs being the ones to get names.

Nothing Is Scarier
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_cdfe12c3
comment
Nothing Is Scarier: The lack of a boss in Bamboo Creek can throw you for a loop, especially since there’s two rooms after the Boss Corridor that would be perfect for a Boss Room. Late-game, a stage functions like this. The Corrupted Future. There is never an actual explanation of what happened there, whether there are any survivors (or any sane being) alive. Besides one brief exposition from the magic wisp there are no lines of dialogue here.

Developer's Foresight
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_d24ed873
comment
Developer's Foresight: Normally when you defeat the Queen of Quills you get an exchange between Quarble and her personal life saver, Quillble. However, if you manage to get to that point without dying once, Quarble won’t show up at all, and Quillble simply shows up, saves the Queen of Quills, and teleports away, leaving the Ninja confused. After Opening the Sandbox, there’s a two tier hint system where the Prophet gives you a vague message and the Shopkeeper can simply reveal the location needed for a price. When you access the Definitely Final Dungeon, the Prophet’s hint describes the scroll meeting its maker, obviously referring to Phantom. If the player buys the Shopkeeper’s hint, the Shopkeeper will be completely baffled that you would need a hint for this considering all the build-up for the final area.

What the Hell, Hero?
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: The Shopkeeper calls The Ninja an animal after learning he never bothered to open the scroll after receiving it to find out it was map which would have made his traveling a lot more simple. The Ninja gets it hard should he agree to sacrifice Quarble to the Tiki Mask for a Stat-Power-Up at the cost of starting Final Death Mode. Quarble lives, but he's so angry at the Ninja that he flat-out refuses to save him anymore. Compared to his sarcastic commentary he makes on every other death, his quote for you right before the game over is so calm it feels like Tranquil Fury.

Anti-Frustration Features
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: Before boss rooms, there will always be a shop checkpoint flanked by two lanterns that contain a health potion and a ki refill. During the second stage of the Emerald Golem boss where you have to chase a green core through freefall, energy shuriken power-ups will repeatedly fly up from below to give you ammo to attack the boss with. During the second half of the game, you have a two-tier hint system. Firstly, the Prophet's vague messages on where to go next will give some hint on an objective you have to complete. If you can't figure out the Prophet's hints, you can pay the Shopkeeper 300 Time Shards to have her just outright tell you what to do next. New upgrades will allow you to have the map mark areas with quest objectives, show how many Power Seals are left in the area, and the location to the Power Seals to make tracking them down less of a hassle. A patch after the release of the game added sparkles to the correct way to the Sunken Shrine in the underwater maze once the player obtains the Shell Horn, as the acoustic solution could be vague as to the correct path, not to mention impossible to navigate for people with hearing disabilities. Most Power Seals have a safe passage to the beginning of their challenge rooms so you're not forced to backtrack through an already tricky area. Most of these let-outs also give you a health and ki refill so you're not forced to limp back to a save point with low health. Collecting a Power Seal instantly counts it towards your total, even if you die before reaching a save point after collecting it. Even if you didn't buy the upgrade that allows you to Cloudstep off of projectiles, you'll be able to Cloudstep off of the fireballs of the Cloud Ruins boss, since not having it means the latter part of the fight would be impossible. If you die during the Escape Sequence in the Corrupted Future, the game immediately takes you back to the start of the sequence, skipping the usual death screen with Quarble.

Year Outside, Hour Inside: The shop is located in the Tower of Time, which exists outside of time. Therefore, no matter how long the Ninja spends outside the shop between visits, from the Shopkeeper's perspective, it's only been a few seconds. This is what clues the Shopkeeper in that something went wrong when the Soldier doesn't enter the shop again right away after leaving it.

Have a Nice Death

Have a Nice Death: Every death is met with a new comment from Quarble, at least until he runs out of unique lines. At one point he gets his identical co-worker Quibble to fill in for him just so Quibble can see for himself how bad you are. (Or so "Quibble" claims...) He also sometimes comments on the exact way you died ("Hey I'll be visiting the shopkeeper later, should I grab something to reduce spikes damage for you?").

Empty Room Psych: Discussed. Between the 1.0.4 and the 2.0.2 versions of the game, the sink in the shop was a literal Money Sink which allowed players to dump excess Time Shards into. However, dumping money down the drain did absolutely nothing. The Shopkeeper repeatedly explained that to the Ninja should the player keep doing it, but the Ninja stubbornly refused to believe that there was no reward for it. The final areas of Bamboo Creek are designed in a way to make you think that a boss is coming, despite the Shopkeeper telling you otherwise. After some long drops and a large room, you go to the next area, and realize that the Shopkeeper was actually telling the truth.

Bad Future: The Ninja visits a version of the world where the demons won, the level is aptly named Corrupted Future and the results are not pretty. It features eldritch, cosmic-like horrors that may be even more horrifying than the things you saw in the Underworld, and that's not even mentioning the "boss" of the area itself... What makes it truly terrifying is that even with magic wisps transporting the Ninja 500 years into the past Earth is still in the bad future setting meaning humanity lost to the curse a very long time ago.

History Repeats: At the beginning of the game, the Ninja given a scroll by the Western Hero of the prophecy, who names him the Messenger and tells him to deliver it to the top of Glacial Peak. It is eventually revealed that this is the endgame of all Messengers. The Ninja travels 500 years into the future, where he becomes the Western Hero of the next cycle and gives the scroll to a futuristic soldier in the exact same spot where he received it himself, names the Soldier the new Messenger, and tells him to deliver the scroll to the top of Glacial Peak. Meanwhile, the Ninja takes over as the new Shopkeeper of that cycle. However, the Soldier eventually dies on his journey (because the previous Shopkeeper neglected to tell the Ninja he was supposed to keep tabs on his Messenger with the shop's Scrying Orb and manually send out Quarble to rescue him from death), forcing the Ninja to become the Messenger again.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The Shopkeeper gets uncharacteristically panicked when she realizes she messed up and forgot to tell Ninja (acting as the Shopkeeper) that he must send Quarble to save the current Messenger, or else the guy dies for real. This even allows Ninja to get some jabs in which the Shopkeeper has no dry or witty comebacks for him. The Ninja tends to have some lines of dialogue after every part of his quest is done but he's almost catatonic after returning from his experience in the Corrupted Future. He also engages in some serious jabs with The Dragon and the Big Bad.

Ninja Run: The Ninja, naturally! Later in the future, The Soldier also has a more or less ninja-esque type of run too.

Expospeak Gag: Do a Fetch Quest for the Ninja Elder and he will teach you the Power of True Sight. Or in other words, give you an ordinary candle.

Took a Level in Cynic
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_f49ba6ee
comment
Took a Level in Cynic: The Ninja, after delivering the scroll to the Soldier and becoming the new Shopkeeper. It's pretty clear he isn't thrilled about not going out for adventuring anymore and his new portrait even depicts him with cynical half-closed eyes.

Wake-Up Call Boss
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f
comment
Wake-Up Call Boss: The Emerald Golem in Howling Grotto. It has some difficult attacks to deal with, you have to break its chest gem before exposing the core and the boss also has a second phase. If anything it more often than not sends the message that the game is done pulling punches. If the previous boss wasn't enough the next one, the Queen of Quills, will be. She's extremely nimble, has some annoying spore attacks and a whip attack that HURTS. She's basically how the game says to you: "No, you can't just walk forward, mash attack and win."

Disc-One Final Dungeon
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_f55a1990
comment
Disc-One Final Dungeon: The Forlorn Temple. You find it early on in the campaign and you're told that it's where the Demon King is residing, but you can't get inside it on account of the literal Broken Bridge. While you do indeed slay the Demon King inside it, the curse besieging the land is still in effect, and the final Music Note is nowhere to be found, meaning your journey still has a ways to go.

Walk on Water: The Lightfoot Tabi allows you to run across the surface of any liquid, including water, quicksand, and lava. The catch is that you can't stop running, or else you will instantly sink.

 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4
comment
Video Game Cruelty Potential: If you complete the Tiki Mask by getting all of the collectibles in Picnic Panic, you can offer to sacrifice Quarble to it in return for doubling your health, attack and defense. It's less cruel than it sounds because the mask just needs to use Quarble's fear of genuine mortal peril and doesn't actually kill him, but Quarble is so furious and upset at the Ninja being willing to do it that he refuses to rescue you from then on, meaning death is death.

Running Gag: Stories. Shopkeeper tells one and Ninja tends to ruin or make a commentary on it which pisses off the Shopkeeper more often than not.

Weakened by the Light
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_fab3c1e1
comment
Weakened by the Light: The Demon King is ultimately killed by destroying the ceiling of his arena, causing sunlight to shine onto him, which fries him to a crisp and causes him to dissolve. Word is out on whether this killed him because he was a demon... or because he just turned into a giant eyeball and then looked directly at the sun.

Real After All
 The Messenger (2018) (Video Game) / int_fb724048
comment
Real After All: Although the Shopkeeper insists all of her stories are pure fiction and mere fairy tales for children, you can actually find some of the things mentioned in them around the game world, such as the frozen couple who attempted "The Trek", Madam Misery's house with Death trapped in the pear tree, and a crystal pumpkin, which shows that at least some of her stories are true. Of course, it's possible that the game itself is just one of her made-up stories (see Ambiguous Ending above).

Video Game Cruelty Punishment: See Overly Long Gag above. If The Ninja persists in trying to open The Shopkeeper's closet, he will be forced to listen to a very long exposition without being able to skip through the dialogue. Similarly this occurs again if the player refuses to open the closet when told to. As mentioned above, Quarble will decide to terminate your working relationship if you accept "THE DEAL," meaning that if you die, you die.
