Produced originally by Blue Tea Games and later by Eipix Entertainment, and distributed by Big Fish, the games feature a nameless detective who specializes in solving mysteries connected with those fairy tales. | |

All There in the Parables: From the third game onward, you'll collect tokens which, when you have all of each kind, will explain how things got to be the way they are. There are five such parables in each main game, with anywhere from three to six pieces to be found for each, and a sixth (and sometimes a seventh) in each bonus game. | |

Comic-Book Time | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_1989b0c | comment |
Comic-Book Time: The games seem to be using something like this. Very few characters have been shown to age at all (though some have that hand waved by immortality), and no specific dates have been given for any of the games. The only thing we know for sure is that Ballad of Rapunzel is set ten years after Rise of the Snow Queen, and Dire Tree is set "a few years" after Ballad. It may be a case of Year Inside, Hour Outside and/or Narnia Time, since it hasn't been formally confirmed that the passage of time in the fairy tale kingdoms happens at the same rate as the passage of time in the real world. Ten years for Gerda, who lives in the Snowfall Kingdom, could equate to a much shorter period of time for the detective, who is from our world. | |

Dark Parables / Videogame / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: Depending on which artifact you choose. The mirror (which is also the artifact chosen by the strategy guide) destroys Rapunzel's flower crown and frees her, but Belladonna's powers hurtle out of control and she falls off the tower to her death. The jewel seals Belladonna away, but Rapunzel chooses to go with her sister, thus trapping both in the plant prison and Ross swearing to keep watch over them. The sword kills the Nightbloom plant and frees the sisters to repair their relationship, as well as allowing Rapunzel to stay with her beloved Ross while they find a way for Belladonna to control her powers. | |

Mr. Fanservice | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_1b4e322c | comment |
Mr. Fanservice: The men in the fairy tales who are introduced in this series each have some of this going on. Prince James in Exiled Prince and Prince Ross in Rapunzel are a couple of Hunks, while Jack in Sky Kingdom bears a strong resemblance to Indiana Jones. Eric, in Queen of Sands, also turns out to be this by the end of the game, along with being a Walking Shirtless Scene. Kai and Prince Gwyn in the bonus chapter of Rapunzel have both grown up to be very Pretty Boys. Fallen Star and Tinderbox bring us the Moon Priest, Hansel, who arguably looks more like a storybook Prince Charming than any other character yet introduced. Requiem gives us the Shadow God, who evokes Evil Is Sexy. | |

Poor Communication Kills: There's actually a very good reason that Jack is so desperate to get the fallen star. He needs it to remove the enchantment on his beloved Emma, who was accidentally turned into a gold statue by Princess Leda. Considering that he and the detective are old friends, however, it's unclear why he didn't just tell her about this, instead of threatening her. | |

One wonders how much protection you can get from a midriff corset and a miniskirt or a pair of very short shorts - not to mention the tight, thigh-high boots with stiletto heels. The Red Riding Hood Sisters must have some sort of unmentioned magic which allows them to outrun wolves despite improbably bad footwear. | |

Dark Parables / Videogame / int_212f1548 | comment |
Make Them Rot: Belladonna's power causes her to kill anyone she even slightly injures, and she can't turn it off. Because of this, she is obsessed with Rapunzel, whose Green Thumb powers cancel hers out, making Rapunzel the only person in the world capable of touching her without being injured. | |

Mistaken Identity | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_231e8193 | comment |
Mistaken Identity: The Godmother thinks that Cyrilla is the final Cinderella, but it's really her stepsister Katherine. When Cyrilla is freed, she begs the detective to save Katherine before fleeing to safety. This is explained in the bonus content stories. Cyrilla and Katherine's uncle found the magical dresses and shoes they were to wear to the ball and decided he wanted to sell them. However, the ladies were able to retrieve one of the dresses, which is the one Cyrilla was wearing. So that Katherine could also go to the ball, the two ladies designed and made a gown for her to wear; it's noticeably less fancy than Cyrilla's and Amelia would have recognized it wasn't her handiwork. | |

She's personally acquainted with Ruth's wolf, even though it's canonically been several years since the fourth game, and her internal monologue notes that it's been a while since she visited the headquarters. Apparently she drops by periodically. | |

Barrier Maiden: The bonus chapter reveals that both Rapunzel and Belladonna are this. The main game ends with them leaving Floralia, in one sense or another, and their departure is the final event which triggers Gothel's revenge spell on the goddess Flora. | |

Genie in a Bottle: In the original story of The Tinderbox, the soldier who owned it would summon large magical dogs to do his bidding by striking the box once, twice, or three times. In this game, the box is home to a humanoid servant, who functions much more like this trope. | |

Properly Paranoid: A minor example. When the detective looks at the giant stone bear overlooking the tranquil lake, she notes that the more she looks at it, the more uneasy it makes her. It turns out that there's a secret prison in the bear's mouth. | |

Character Development | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_3b113b7 | comment |
Character Development: A minor one with Prince Ross. He's hostile to the detective and threatens her until Gerda vouches for her. Even though he's the one that brought Gerda to Floralia in the first place and he knows the place is dangerous, he abandons Gerda and leaves her with the detective shortly after the detective's arrival. When Gerda gets captured, Ross blames the detective. When the detective rescues him the first time, he's dismissive of her. It's not until later in the game that Ross admits to doing a poor job of protecting Gerda and that bringing her to Floralia may have been a mistake. He also thanks the detective for healing him a second time and tries to return the favor by protecting her. | |

Noodle Incident: Arguably, Rapunzel's cameo can be considered this. She's not a member of the Sisterhood, and there's no tangible connection (or at least, none which has been revealed as yet) between her and that group. The player is left wondering how Ruth knew to contact her about helping the detective, and also where Ross and Belladonna are during the incident. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Princess Ivy is the princess from the story of The Frog Prince, but she hardly comes across as the spoiled brat who tried to kill the frog when he asked to sleep in her bed. The flashback she shows to the detective depicts her willingly giving him the requested kiss which made him human. The earliest forms of the fairy tale have the princess throwing him against a wall. Later adaptations have her kissing him. The developers obviously chose to adapt the less violent version for the game. | |

Stupidity Is the Only Option: In the Forbidden Grove, it becomes increasingly obvious that the Katherine imprisoned in the tree, who tells you to find glass slippers, is not the real one. (Listen to her voice - it grows progressively more sinister.) Sure enough, it's a puppet copy of Katherine created by the Godmother to fool the detective. You have no choice but to play along in order to progress the story. | |

Flower Motifs: As the series has progressed, it has started to ease away from using these, but the first several games feature flowers (especially roses) quite heavily. Each Guardian chosen by the goddess Flora has an individual flower motif to go with their powers, such as Briar Rose and her Thorned Rose, Ross Red and his Fiera Rosa, and Belladonna and her Deadly Nightbloom. | |

Dark Parables / Videogame / int_4814d132 | comment |
Big Fancy House: Hilltop Mansion, the estate where the ball in the opening cinematic is held. The name is written in Katherine's invitation. As the game progresses, it becomes more and more apparent that the house belongs to the Godmother, and the ball was an elaborate trap. | |

Sealed Evil in a Can: When Briar Rose didn't wake from her magic coma, her good godmothers united their power to seal the briar plant - and the Evil Godmother's power - in the castle for one thousand years. The detective is called in to deal with the situation because the thousand years are over, and the seal has broken. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early Installment Weirdness: The first two games are very different in some respects from the rest of the series. They're the only ones which offer the New Game+ feature, they don't include the parable gems/tokens to enhance the game's backstory, and they end with one of the characters telling you about your next case. They're also the only ones that begin with the detective having already arrived at her destination, instead of being en route, and take place solely in real countries. Curse of Briar Rose is especially different from the other games; it has the fewest cutscenes and the most chapters of any game in the series, with many of the chapters being extremely short. While other games in the series have elaborate shrines dedicated to various members of the Fantasy Pantheon, this game has an Ambiguously Christian chapel (it has a small cross and angel statuary), suggesting that the religion of the game world was established later. It's also the game with the smallest cast; the only NPCs the detective encounters are Briar Rose herself and the ghost of the Evil Godmother. | |

But Thou Must!: You're not given any options about anything, you just have to do it. Averted slightly in Ballad of Rapunzel, which does give you the option to select which of three magical artifacts will be used. Each artifact is tied to one of the Multiple Endings; unfortunately, two of them are bad endings, so if you want the characters to have their happy ending, your only real choice is to use the sword. | |

Hero of Another Story: In the main game, the player always takes on the role of the detective. However, sometimes the bonus chapters are told from the points of view of other characters, giving the player a view of stories that the detective would not see for one reason or another. For instance, the bonus chapters of several games all take place long before the detective was even born, while the one in Ballad of Rapunzel happens just after she leaves Floralia. | |

Guilt Complex | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_5b0e992 | comment |
Guilt Complex: It's revealed that Snow White's father developed one over not having protected her from her Wicked Stepmother. That's why he continues to protect his daughter, even after she enchanted him into a beast. It's revealed later in the series that it was Prince James who rescued Snow White (while still a frog!) from the stepmother; because of this and the fact that his daughter's marriage to James ended badly, he most likely feels that if he'd protected her in the first place, none of the game's events would have happened and his child wouldn't be in misery over her own child's illness. | |

Really 700 Years Old: A number of characters throughout the games are this, and frequently The Ageless as well. Curses in the game world seem to prevent people from growing old or dying, which explains several of these instances; others are eventually revealed to be the blessing of a specific deity. | |

Mood Lighting: The surroundings in this game are considerably darker than its sequels, which employ a great deal more color. The color scheme here is deliberate and appropriate; the castle has been empty for a thousand years, everything is crumbling to dust, and the darkness lends itself to the sense that the place has been essentially frozen in a lost era. | |

King Alexandros himself is slowly succumbing to this after centuries of being cursed into a crab monster, motivating the desperate Althea to steal the last remaining orb from an equally desperate Pinocchio. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: Arguably. The eighth game reveals that Teresa joined the Sisterhood after Eldra and Raphael saved her life. Since this indicates that Eldra was a Sister longer than Teresa, her anger at Teresa being named the Elder Sister instead of her becomes much more understandable. | |

Meaningful Name: Serafina and Mercy. Their names are derived from the elements serving as base in their creation - Sulfur and Mercury. Additionally, Seraphim are a group of angels, with their name in Hebrew meaning 'The Burning Ones'. | |

A Wizard Did It | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_6bfc52a3 | comment |
The Godmothers Did It: The only way to explain a few things in the game, which otherwise would make no sense at all, is to ascribe them to the magical workings of Briar Rose's fairy godmothers. Probably the best example is the Bizarrchitecture entry above. Some things become more comprehensible when the player continues exploring the series and learns more about the characters; but for a first-time player who has little understanding of this universe, it's just simplest to default to this explanation for anything they don't get. | |

All things considered, it's entirely possible that the strain of the situation has frayed his nerves. He does come around once he realizes the detective is a valuable ally, and grows protective of her. | |

Jigsaw Puzzle Plot | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_715704e5 | comment |
Jigsaw Puzzle Plot: The series has, over time, evolved into this. Curse of Briar Rose is extremely straightforward and, except for the fact that she tells the detective about the Frog Prince, leaves no major plot threads hanging. But as the subsequent games unfold, the increasingly complex storyline begins to weave itself together and slowly show connections where the player never knew about them. | |

Idiot Ball: The Fairytale Detective rarely picks this up in the series. However, in this game she carries it around for a while, since she completely fails to realize that the red-haired man with the flaming sword who came from Floralia could only be Prince Ross Red! Once he recovers his memory he recognizes her at once, but it's almost ridiculous that she wouldn't know him. | |

As noted above, over the course of the game he comes to her rescue repeatedly. Probably justified by the fact that he left his friends behind in the Sky Kingdom, and he refuses to lose the only ally he's got now. | |

Send in the Search Team: In the beginning of the game, the detective encounters the remains of a knightly searching party whose arms and carriage bear the insignia of the Frog Prince, from the second game. He sent the search party to find the Snow Queen a long time before the events of the game. Since it's just one wagon and a few knights, it's reasonable to assume that it was an envoy sent to convince Snow White to return to him. | |

100% Completion | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_77f6cc58 | comment |
100% Completion: You pretty much can't fail at these games, if you try long enough, but the first seven games include the optional challenge of finding all twenty of the cursed objects, which will speed up the recharge time on your hint button. A second challenge is added starting with the third game; see All There in the Parables, below. Starting with Ballad of Rapunzel, the games also include unlockable achievements. From Little Mermaid onward, Eipix has changed the format by removing the cursed objects, and including other items to be found instead. They've also made the parable tokens considerably more difficult to locate than in the previous installments; they now often shift appearance in the same manner that the cursed objects of earlier games do. To balance that Difficulty Spike, however, they've also added another new feature. Once you've completed the game, the bonus features menu on the start screen will allow you to return to the relevant scenes in the game to acquire any collectibles or parable tokens you missed during gameplay, rather than requiring you to start a new game. | |

Like Brother and Sister | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_78540917 | comment |
Like Brother and Sister: The three princes, and perhaps Hugh in particular, seem to regard Emma as their honorary sister, judging by photographs and notes found around the Sky Kingdom. The Sky King does treat her like his daughter, which may account for this in part; but as the detective observes, "It seems the princes genuinely care for Emma, and she for them." It's shown in the telescope room that Hugh is troubled by how sad she is over missing Jack, and wants to help her even though his father forbids it. This may be the reason that his rooms contain evidence that he was researching magic beanstalks - he was trying to help her reunite with her lost love. Technically, she is the princes' niece, albeit by an unknown number of generations removed. Or at least, she would be if they were the Sky King's actual sons, rather than magical constructs. | |

She's way less effective than your average ghost, and even though Briar Rose's spirit form warns the detective that the Evil Godmother is haunting the castle and will stop her if she can, she's not able to do anything at any point. She shows up once as a weirdly-colored raven, and then the detective doesn't see her again until the final puzzle, in which she's destroyed for good. | |

The Unfavorite: Subverted. Belladonna may have felt this to be the case, given her situation, but the detective finds evidence throughout the exploration that shows the king loved both of his daughters very much. It's hinted that Queen Melanie may have felt this way compared to her predecessor, Queen Violante. Diary entries indicate that she wanted to be as beloved by her husband and the people of Floralia as Rapunzel's mother. | |

Vague Age | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_7f080f98 | comment |
Vague Age: Along with knowing practically nothing else about her, we don't know how old the detective is, but we can make an educated estimate. There is no clear indication of how far apart the games take place, only the order of events. Thus far, the only attempt at dating the games is confirmation that Rise of the Snow Queen takes place ten years before Ballad of Rapunzel, and Dire Tree is stated to take place a few years later. It can be approximated, therefore, that the series has been happening for roughly fifteen to twenty years in-universe. Licensed private investigators must be at least 21 years old in most jurisdictions, so by the time of Dire Tree the detective has to be close to 40, if not older. | |

God of Evil: The thirteenth game introduces the first male deity, the Shadow God, who embodies this trope. The parables reveal that he was originally a neutral god of the balance between darkness and light, but became corrupted by exposure to humans and the temptation to devour their souls. To judge by the bonus chapter, he resumes his neutrality after his Heel–Face Turn. | |

Briar Rose from the first game carries a magic staff that shoots out thorny vines to combat the wolves.

As the Guardian of the Thorned Rose appointed by the goddess Flora, she's had this ability for centuries; napping for a thousand years can put a crimp in anyone's style, but she's still got it.) | |

In The Final Cinderella, it's revealed that they were created by Amelia, Geppetto's wife. Apparently the lack of suitable Cinderella candidates led Amelia to use her talents elsewhere. | |

Private Detective | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_8e20b0f7 | comment |
Private Detective: The player character, a detective who specializes in fairy tale mysteries. Surprisingly, there's actually a call for that in this universe. According to the Dark Parables wiki, she works for a detective agency which specializes in the paranormal. Following the events of the first game, the detective decides to exclusively devote herself to cases related to fairy tales, and she becomes known by reputation as "the Fairytale Detective." | |

The Voiceless | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_8ec0abf | comment |
The Voiceless: The detective is not voice acted; all of her dialogue/internal monologue appears on the screen as subtitles. Averted slightly in Little Mermaid, where the detective's voice is heard for the first time. She gasps on a few occasions when she's knocked to the ground by other characters. Averted again in Tinderbox, when she groans in pain while dragging herself from a collapsing structure. | |

Regent for Life: The Snow Queen is sort of this for the Snowfall Kingdom, at least according to a statue in the courtyard. It's engraved with the King's own words that "I am gravely ill. My daughter Snow shall rule in my stead." It's noted in a diary entry elsewhere that the place went very much downhill after she took over. | |

Mechanical Horse: In the parable which gives Sir Ewan's backstory, it's revealed that he made one of these in his younger days at the request of a noble duke, but his work was sabotaged by the duke's rival. Sir Ewan was Wrongly Accused of trying to kill the duke, and had to go into voluntary exile to escape retaliation. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: The backstory of the order is that the Huntsman adopted Isabella after their encounter with the wolf and trained her to be a warrior, and she passed his lessons on to other girls. Briar Rose from the first game carries a magic staff that shoots out thorny vines to combat the wolves. (However, as explained in the seventh game, she didn't take a level in badass so much as she returned to her previous level of it after some temporary Badass Decay. As the Guardian of the Thorned Rose appointed by the goddess Flora, she's had this ability for centuries; napping for a thousand years can put a crimp in anyone's style, but she's still got it.) | |

Some players were left puzzled by this, since the drawing has nothing to do with the game.

Bolt of Divine Retribution | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_a52f8fdf | comment |
Bolt of Divine Retribution: In the bonus chapter, Thalassa the sea goddess is not evil; but she's perfectly willing to unleash this on King Alexandros, for imprisoning her, and Chancellor John, for getting him to do it. Misplaced Retribution: Unusually for the trope, she also inflicts collateral damage - in this case, turning Alexandros's daughters into mermaids despite their innocence in the matter. Perhaps said innocence is why she provided them with the Curse Escape Clause of the orbs, and allowed them to stay pretty in the meantime. | |

Year Inside, Hour Outside | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_a62dca03 | comment |
It may be a case of Year Inside, Hour Outside and/or Narnia Time, since it hasn't been formally confirmed that the passage of time in the fairy tale kingdoms happens at the same rate as the passage of time in the real world. Ten years for Gerda, who lives in the Snowfall Kingdom, could equate to a much shorter period of time for the detective, who is from our world. | |

Rule of Three: This game features the first mention of the Maiden Goddess since The Final Cinderella. She's shown alongside the Sun and Moon Goddesses in a few places, as though suggesting they form some sort of trinity. Fallen Star confirmed that the Sun and Moon Goddesses are sisters; the parables in this game confirm that the Maiden Goddess is also their sister, and was created by her elder sisters from the morning dew. | |

Only Known by Their Nickname: While the Greedy King did have a real name, his lust for gold and treasure made his nickname far more famous; at the time of the main game, it's the only name anyone remembers for him. His real name is mentioned briefly in the bonus game, which takes place during his reign. | |

And I Must Scream: Not only was Princess Fionnuala trapped in a painting simply because she forgot a promise, but the only way for her to search for a way to break her curse is to trap others in a curse similar to her own. What makes things worse is that unlike her, the people she sticks into paintings still age and die, and there's getting them out of the painting beforehand. | |

Wicked Stepmother: Averted by Rapunzel's stepmother Melanie, who was kind and loving.

She tried to have her husband execute his own children for a crime she invented, and possibly would have gotten away with it were it not for the intervention of the Frog Prince. | |

Fairy Tale Free-for-All | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_b8b7a21a | comment |
Fairy Tale Free-for-All: The series features a different fairy tale in every game. The main character is the mystery-solving Fairy Tale Detective, but there is an ever-expanding cast of characters from a variety of classic tales, all of whom interact with one another in some way or another. Thus you see things like Snow White's twin brother being engaged to Rapunzel, and Jack confronting Goldilocks, and Pinocchio's father being married to Cinderella's Fairy Godmother - among many other connections. | |

Unfinished Business: It's heavily implied that Snow White's ghost has some. Except that she's not actually dead... The unlockable bonus game has a more pleasant example. Though his spirit is seen departing the world after he dies in the main game, Prince James returns as a ghost at the outset of the bonus game. He uses his powers one last time, to shatter the ice wall which previously prevented the detective from entering the part of his castle beyond Princess Ivy's tomb. | |

Non-Human Sidekick: The game opens with the detective riding a horse, whom she later identifies as "my trusty mare." The Druid who lives in the swamp has an owl which constantly accompanies her. In one of the parables, it's shown that Odile saved the bird's life. In the bonus chapter, the same Druid (then considerably younger) gives Princess Odette a small frog, who assists her in her campaign to defeat the Harpy Queen. Surprising no one who's played the previous games, she kisses the frog out of gratitude at the end and he transforms into Prince James. | |

Immortality | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_bf9ed416 | comment |
Immortality/Immortality Hurts/Who Wants to Live Forever?: The Frog Prince's real curse. But not his original one. His original curse is what transferred Ivy's immortality to him. He seems to have been happy with his other four wives, though the game doesn't state how he felt about living as a frog in between marriages. It's not until Snow White leaves him and he is unable to touch anyone ever again that his immortality seems to have really gotten to him; it's downright dangerous to friendships and makes romantic relationships impossible when the people you touch, even accidentally, become frogs. He's become incredibly bitter as a result of having to live centuries with no human contact, and his experiments on people he's turned into frogs may be a sign of Sanity Slippage. It's a wonder the guy didn't Go Mad from the Isolation. | |

Video Game Caring Potential: The fairy tale characters are so beloved by generations, and so believably presented, that it's very difficult not to care about what happens to them. Many players also find the detective herself extremely likable, and want to see her succeed. | |

Nothing Is Scarier: Although the gloomy atmosphere and somewhat creepy music lend themselves to the idea that the Evil Godmother is on the scene and may endanger the detective, it never happens. In a way this is almost worse, because first-time players may expect danger around every corner and never actually find any. | |

Cerebus Syndrome: While most of the other installments have at least some lightness to them, Requiem has a decidedly Darker and Edgier tone. In particular, it has a dark, almost gritty look to it which more closely resembles the Mood Lighting of Curse of Briar Rose than any other game in the series. It also introduces the Shadow God, the first evil deity in the Fantasy Pantheon. | |

You Can't Go Home Again: When the other princesses were able to break their curses with the other magic orbs, they lost their mermaid forms. Since Prasino was still deep underwater at the time, this meant that the uncursed princesses had no way of ever getting back home to help their father or remaining sisters break their curses. This, unfortunately, left Althea alone with their father until Prasino resurfaced. The only princess who averts this is Teresa, as it seems doubtful she would have wanted to return. | |

She had to give up and return to headquarters to try to help from a distance. | |

Red Herring | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: The Beta game implied that the madman chasing Brigid is actually the king, who wishes to bring her back home and away from the two guards. This is not the case. The man we see is actually the leader of the Deamon tribes depicted throughout the kingdom. Even the letter is fake, being written by Serafina to lure Brigid back to the kingdom. | |

Her mother died when she was little; her father locked her in a tower to protect everyone from her deadly magic; and the only person she believes truly loves her is her big sister Rapunzel. But Rapunzel is engaged to marry Prince Ross, and Bella is terrified that this means her sister is going to leave her all alone. Mother Gothel took massive advantage of this fear. | |

Wicked Witch: It's implied, in the bonus chapter, that Mother Gothel may also be the Wicked Witch of the West. Thumbelina is captured by hostile flying monkeys which strongly resemble the ones from the film version of The Wizard of Oz, even being dressed the same. There's also a box which is unlocked by finding figures of the Lion, the Scarecrow, and the Tin Man. | |

Fantasy Pantheon | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_df1a0454 | comment |
Fantasy Pantheon: As the series has progressed, it has revealed more and more deities in this universe, almost all of whom are identified as female. God of Evil: The thirteenth game introduces the first male deity, the Shadow God, who embodies this trope. The parables reveal that he was originally a neutral god of the balance between darkness and light, but became corrupted by exposure to humans and the temptation to devour their souls. To judge by the bonus chapter, he resumes his neutrality after his Heel–Face Turn. God of Good: The Sun, Moon, and Maiden Goddesses are depicted this way, with the Moon Goddess being particularly attached to the detective. Requiem confirms that they are sisters and implies that they form some sort of trinity. Nature Spirit: The two deities introduced thus far who have names beyond their titles are Flora, the goddess of balance in nature, and Thalassa, the Sea Goddess; both are described as being of neutral disposition and a Friend to All Living Things. Flora is a True Neutral figure who can occasionally be persuaded to lean toward Neutral Good, while Thalassa is very Lawful Neutral. | |

Animal Motifs: The Swan Lake Princess's house has an unsurprising swan motif inside. The detective notes that the dual black and white swans must represent her and her prince. She's actually wrong about this; as the eleventh game later reveals, the dual swan imagery is the animal motif of the Swan Kingdom, which Odette once ruled. | |

Dark Parables / Videogame / int_e3f34fb4 | comment |
Featureless Protagonist: In addition to being nameless, the player character has no other identifying characteristics. The most that is seen of your avatar most of the time are gloved hands and jacket-sleeved arms. However, the gender of the character is revealed in bonus material; see below. Vague Age: Along with knowing practically nothing else about her, we don't know how old the detective is, but we can make an educated estimate. There is no clear indication of how far apart the games take place, only the order of events. Thus far, the only attempt at dating the games is confirmation that Rise of the Snow Queen takes place ten years before Ballad of Rapunzel, and Dire Tree is stated to take place a few years later. It can be approximated, therefore, that the series has been happening for roughly fifteen to twenty years in-universe. Licensed private investigators must be at least 21 years old in most jurisdictions, so by the time of Dire Tree the detective has to be close to 40, if not older. | |

Composite Character: Sometimes done with characters from different fairy tales turning out to be the same person.

Laser-Guided Amnesia | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_e7b0229a | comment |
Laser-Guided Amnesia: The candlemaker remarks that he doesn't remember ever doing anything except making and lighting the candles in Anaben. As it turns out, he's actually the Shadow God, but he can't remember that. The parables explain that his true love the Maiden Goddess hid his good side in the form of the candlemaker to try to save him from the war waging inside himself. He lights candles every night because he's searching for something but he can't remember what. The detective seems to get hit with a form of this. The main component of the Shade's Lantern is the Bolide Shard, which the Sky King tried to use to unmake the world way back in Jack and the Sky Kingdom. After the events of that game, Jack gave the shard to the fairy queen for safekeeping; the detective finds his notes. But she doesn't seem to recognize the name of the Bolide Shard, and gives no indication that she remembers Jack either. | |

Purely Aesthetic Era: Overlaps with Anachronism Stew. The detective usually arrives for her cases in a horse-drawn carriage or on horseback (or, once, in a boat); the most prominent science seen in the games is alchemy; and the attire of the characters the detective meets is hard to pin down to any one particular time period. At the same time, however, the detective herself wears leather jackets and gloves, and receives her instructions from Mission Control via tape recorder. | |

Who Wants to Live Forever? | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_ea39d156 | comment |
Who Wants to Live Forever?: Neither the king nor the princesses are particularly pleased with the circumstances which have been forced upon them. The king's Sanity Slippage due to living forever probably didn't help any. However, breaking the curse and removing their immortality and mermaid forms caused other problems; see You Can't Go Home Again. | |

Jerkass: Prince Ross starts out as one. He threatens the detective until Gerda vouches for her. He then abandons Gerda in a place he knows is dangerous to go off on his own; when Gerda gets captured while assisting the detective, he blames the detective for not protecting her. The first time the detective heals him, he's condescending towards her. He loses the attitude later, though. Jerkass Woobie: In Ross's defense, he's been trying to reunite with his beloved Rapunzel for who knows how many hundreds of years - it's not really clarified just how long ago Floralia was destroyed. All things considered, it's entirely possible that the strain of the situation has frayed his nerves. He does come around once he realizes the detective is a valuable ally, and grows protective of her. | |

Fictional Country | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_ee0c2c3c | comment |
Fictional Country: The first two games take place strictly in real countries (Scotland and Germany). Starting with the third game, the adventure begins in a real country, identified at the start of the prologue, but at some point the action transfers to one of these; the ninth game subverts it somewhat by taking place in France, but in a fictional community. From the tenth game onward, the stories take place completely in fictional locations, although Requiem's setting, the duchy of Anaben, is stated to be situated at the foot of the Alps. | |

The Wrongful Heir to the Throne: Seen in the parables. Valla's parable says that King Warclaw wanted Leda to inherit his crown, but she was off searching for a cure for her golden touch when he died. Since the council didn't know any better, and no one knew where Leda was, they made Valla the queen instead. | |

Oddball in the Series | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_f068cba | comment |
Oddball in the Series: Requiem is almost nothing like any of the previous twelve games in the series. Its story is inspired by a single, little-known fairy tale instead of combining multiple tales into one, and it focuses on the Original Character members of the games' Fantasy Pantheon rather than classical fairy tale characters; the only traditional fairy tale character even mentioned is Jack, who appears strictly in note form. It has only a scant few Call Backs to the sixth game in the series, and is the only game thus far to offer absolutely no clues about what will feature in the next one. | |

Shoo the Dog | |
Dark Parables / Videogame / int_f50b1e05 | comment |
Shoo the Dog: The Dark Parables wiki reveals that it was actually a case of this. Ivy is the younger of the two princesses, and when she was born, her parents were afraid that the Evil Godmother might do something to her as she had done to Briar Rose. At some point in her childhood, Ivy was sent away to Germany, and all evidence of her existence - except that doll - was removed from the castle. Presumably she and Briar Rose kept in contact nonetheless, given how much they clearly loved one another. The second game brings Ivy into focus and spells out more of her story, and still more details about both her and her sister are revealed in the seventh game. | |

She decides to kill Flora and take her place in order to be a more benevolent deity than the one she serves; unfortunately, Flora's divine crown causes Elise to more or less lose her mind, and the good guys have to kill her in the end. | |
