Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The switch has been flipped to OFF. But instead of darkness, there is light.The Batter, having just finished his mission, wakes up in an empty field, and immediately discovers that his Add-Ons are missing. So, with nothing else to do, he decides to go looking for them.He searches all day, but no matter how long he walks, he can't find the Add-Ons anywhere, so he finally decides to just go to sleep for the night. The next morning, he finds himself confronted by two other versions of himself: The hot-tempered, foul-mouthed Ghost Batter, and the seemingly sweet and polite but Axe-Crazy Bad Batter. This being The Batter, of course, he's not that bothered by this new mystery, and chooses to drag them along as he continues his search.It isn't too long after that that the trio discovers an odd set of rainbow stairs, which take them straight up to heaven. It's here where the adventure really begins, as the mysteries continue to pile up while they explore the place. The Three Workforces of Heaven have recently been taken over by new overseers, known as Mr. A, Dr. O, and E, and while the Elsen living there are pretty happy with what they've been doing, it seems that their operations are causing heaven to sink, which is allowing more specters to invade it. And possibly worse.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Will Batter and his two companions help the situation in heaven or make things worse? Will they find out what happened to the Add-ons? What about the rest of the cast? Is there a place left for Batter now that his mission is complete?Continue/Stop/Rise is yet another Fan Sequel to Mortis Ghost's Indie RPG Maker game OFF made by M-256 on Tumblr. It can be downloaded here.There's also a lesser known prequel of sorts that is a fusion crossover with Yume Nikki, called InterExtraIntraAdd that is also worth checking out. The download is on M-256's blog, here.And there is also a spinoff for RPG Maker VX Ace, called Bx: Execute, which can also be found on M-256's blog, as well as the third demo of UNLOAD, a fangame within the CSR universe.Within the general RPG Maker sphere, she has also made Yume Nikki fangames called Me (2011) and Somnium, and has also made an original game called White's Adventure.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Note: There's a lot of spoilers for the original game below, since this is a Fan Sequel. It's recommended that you play the original game first. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: A few times, only from Squirure. The first time is inside his house where a black screen appears and addresses the player with a huge, bright red You, and the second time happens near the end of the game, where he simply says "Howdy there, Watcher. How do you do?". He also does it during the Fake Ending, where he calls the player out for making The Batter choose not to spare Espilon, since it goes completely against Batter's Character Development up to this point. | |

Suicide as Comedy: At one point, Ghost Batter jumps out a window as self-inflicted punishment after being caught yelling in the library in his solo section of Workforce 1, only to remember belatedly that as a ghost, he's already dead. Of course, this is a whole lot less funny when we find out the truth about Ghost Batter's origins. | |

Death Is Cheap: For the residents of heaven, at least. Since they're already dead, they can't die again and will respawn if "killed." This doesn't make it any less unpleasant and they really don't like it when this happens. This also doesn't stop Batter from being upset when Celeste gets shot by KNO3. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Ghost Batter may be a self-loathing asshole who curses like a sailor, and he and Bad Batter don't get along very well at all, but he is perfectly willing to stick his neck out for his companions when need be. He also shows some concern for the Batter when Bad Batter and Ghost find him crying in the corridor. When KNO 3 shot The Batter, Ghost was extremely upset by his death, up to the point where Bad points out that he cried "enough to make a puddle". | |

The Reveal | |

The Reveal: Ghost Batter and Bad Batter are actually the Batter's prototypes, created by mysterious unknown beings with Hugo's help, and were originally known as Black Batter and White Batter, respectively. They were also raised as brothers. On top of that, part of the process needed to create the Batter apparently required that one of them die while the other was turned into a monster. Black Batter chose to commit suicide so his brother wouldn't have to be the one to be killed. Also, we eventually find out the real objective of the Batter's mission in the original game. Hugo wanted Batter to destroy the fake world he'd created with his powers and to help him commit suicide. | |

Driven to Suicide: Happens several times throughout the game. It's how Black Batter became Ghost Batter, for one thing. There's also an unnamed Elsen the Batter meets when he gets separated from the rest of the party in the Science Factory. He somehow notices that the Batter is also depressed and tries to talk him into a Suicide Pact. At the very least, Batter gives in to his request to put him out of his misery, but it's unclear whether he actually intended to fulfill his side of the bargain. Though considering he just stands there and lets KNO3 shoot him when she betrays the party not too long after that... | |

Wham Episode: The Nightmare Sequence at the hotel in Workforce 2. Not only do the Surreal Horror elements start to really kick in, but we find out the truth about Ghost Batter and Bad Batter's origins, as well as a bit more about our own Batter's own origins. Let's just say that Ghosty and Baddy being other versions of Batter is over-simplifying things. Though Workforce 2 as a whole counts, since this is also where Omega tells the Batter Trio what's really going on with the Add-ons and why heaven has been sinking. Also, demons start invading heaven along with the specters. | |

Axe-Crazy: Bad Batter. He's friendly enough normally, but he doesn't have any trouble killing random people who upset him, or eating people for no real reason. | |

Berserk Button: Bad Batter is a beautiful and graceful swan, not an ugly duck thing. Do not call him a duck. Especially do not ask him why he insists on being called a swan instead of a duck. Despite this, perhaps ironically, his Verbal Tic is a monstrous-sounding quack and he quacks randomly when happy. Also, don't talk about flying or falling in relation to Ghost Batter. | |

Anti-Hero | |
Continue/Stop/Rise / Videogame / int_beb9a361 | comment |
Anti-Hero: The Batter Trio are all different degrees of anti-hero. The Batter himself is a Nominal Hero who basically just fights specters because it's his job as a purifier, at least until his Character Development kicks in. Ghost Batter seems to be a Blood Knight who enjoys fighting specters for the hell of it, while Bad Batter is a Sociopathic Hero at best. | |

Shout-Out | |
Continue/Stop/Rise / Videogame / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: This game features several to EarthBound, the most obvious being Photographerelsen, who appears in each Workforce and will take pictures of the party. He even tells the party to "Say Fuzzy Pickles!" These pictures actually appear in your inventory and can be viewed. A random rant that Ghost Batter goes on at one point is a reference to a similar rant from Jerk City, which he even lampshades as he does it. One of the books in the library has child-like drawings of four cats. They look very similar to the main characters of another Off fan game, HOME (2013). An Elsen in Workforce 2 mentions that he had a dream where everyone fused together into orange soda. Another one asks you if you love the color of the sky. After Black Batter commits suicide, his cries for help briefly devolve into "ithurtsithurtsithurts". | |

Freudian Excuse | |
Continue/Stop/Rise / Videogame / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: The reason why Bad Batter acts out like he does is because since his brother always tried to keep him from causing trouble when he was alive, he thinks he can bring his brother back if he's bad enough. Nevermind his brother is, in fact, still around and trying to keep him out of trouble, because he refuses to acknowledge Ghost Batter as his brother. Word of God says he knows deep down that it doesn't work that way, but he doesn't want to admit it. Of course, as a result, all he does is cause Ghost Batter more pain. | |

Fluffy Cloud Heaven | |
Continue/Stop/Rise / Videogame / int_e132a621 | comment |
Fluffy Cloud Heaven: The entrance looks like this, anyway. Beyond there, the Workforces look like fairly normal towns, though the Elsens living there all seem pretty happy and content with their lives. Specters still attack here sometimes, but the Elsens claim that the infestations are so small that they can usually handle them without a purifier's help. Of course, this is an OFF fan game, so you know all isn't as it seems. Though most of the bad stuff is the fault of the villains mucking around with things. | |

Cruelty Is the Only Option | |
Continue/Stop/Rise / Videogame / int_fc25c2fb | comment |
Cruelty Is the Only Option: In Bad Batter's section of Workforce 1, you can't move on until you've eaten the group of Elsen who try to scold him for tricking the Elsen guard into flipping a switch that releases a large incursion of specters into the area, just so Bad Batter can feel useful by purifying them. Fortunately, Ghost Batter hunts him down and punishes him for it once he finds out in his own section. | |

Death Seeker | |

Death Seeker: It becomes pretty clear by at least the Nightmare Sequence in Workforce 2 that The Batter is one of these. This eventually culminates in the sequence of events described in Driven to Suicide below and is driven home even harder by the entirety of InterExtraIntraAdd. He manages to overcome it after his near-death experience in the Science Factory, however. | |
