Bad End Theater 

I don't know why but I teared up and cried at the last verse of the song. Just how pure the love is between Tragedy and their lover. That Tragedy's love let's Tragedy be her, writing what she wants but also be able to bring her happiness and bring more light and life into their lives, writing happy endings for Tragedy. No matter if they share in misery they also will share in happy endings, together. And I'm a sucker for happy endings and I think hearing that last verse I just knew that Tragedy's lover was singing and knew they would be able to be happy, no matter what comes their way. Just Beautiful, over an hour of investment for that unexpected payoff. Magnificently beautiful.

Thats what i said

The best part : if you don't get every single bad ending you wouldnt even see tragedy ending. And the closing theme ends at : "it's my misery for all eternity"

This song (and the game to an extent) definitely had Vocaloid vibes and I wonder if that was on purpose. The mood was similar to many of the vocaloid songs people made and the characters from both things sort of remind me of each other (probably because each one has characters that are distinctly associated with a color and I happened to listen to a lot of the tragic AMV's for Vocaloid). For me, the reference alluded to when times were more simple. I felt that much more drawn to TRAGEDY's story in the end because I could relate to the pain of growing apart from people and more simple times. Even though it didn't happen as tragically for me as it did for them, the pain of stuff like that is inevitable. And much like our protagonist shows, you learn that sometimes you have to work hard and persevere to make things work out despite the odds.

No when it said “For all you tragedies I’ll write happy endings” I was like we play as Comedy. We are the other half and then at the end I was like YES I knew it!

Oh that's why the True Endings looked so different! I noticed the fact they obviously each have their own colors but not that they added to eachother after meeting. Thanks for bringing that up

tysm for this observation, i didnt notice it before

Ikr? When I saw colored ending for the first time (not true ending yet) I was like "heeey this is important for damn sure"

IT SUCH A COOL DETAIL WOW

mmm i was super suspicious about the last slide in the credits with the pink sky and purple hill 👀

It did say that it meant to be lighthearted so, it makes sense

They're kinda adorable little peoples

if the ending of this game is sweet, the other games by this dev is a 20 ton delivery truck full of powered sugar... and thats why i love this dev edit: i actually havent played any of nomnomnami's games recently enough to remember if thats actually true but if i can trick someone into buying their other games (which they will inevitably enjoy) i think that would be a win. Plus i feel the exact same as that review shown in the beginning of the video and bought both a game i had already played for free on itch io (her tears were my light)and bought this game a long time ago to support them, although i only played it now so i could watch this video, so the more money i can help get funneled towards this dev the better.

Now dont get me wrong I LOVE!!!! the ending of the game and I agree with your statements but I feel like there is a miss oppurtunity with tragedys ending, let me explain. I feel like just like how the nameless main character that we play self insert into tragedys story and turn it into a good ending, the developer could have had us *actually* self insert *ourselves* into the game and like, *help tragedy reach her good ending. Which i think would be a cool and **satisfying ending. *By helping I mean like give her hope that she'll be able to meet with her loved one and hell, maybe even let us be a friend to tragedys loved one and surprise tragedy by having them enter the theater or smthn. **because it sort of reference how 'we' "self insert" 'ourselves' into tragedys story and give it a good ending. In the end, like I said I do love the ending, its just when I first saw the ending my mind just went, "huh, it could've went this way instead". So, sort of wanted to hear your opinion on my opinion here. (Sorry for the long rant)

@@zooidiotgaming5784 I totally didn't saw the reveal of tragedy being pretty much the maiden and our character being the inspiration for the overlord coming. That got me by surprise! Perhaps the person behind the game didn't had such a happy ending in real life, so they made themselves one in this little game.

@@alsparkproductions7849 this was what I thought too. I've met quite a few people who devote themselves to a project or story due to losing someone, myself included. This was a beautiful game and it hit hard, but incredibly well.

it's kinda satisfying but it's such a cliche nowadays to say 'we're lgbt but nobody approves'. plenty of plot devices are cliches though. i guess that's the world we live in. A good story is released and everyone takes the tropes and plot devices and uses them to death.

Comedy? How did you get that name? I don't remember it being mentioned

@@EmilysLovelyBakery theatre is often represented with 2 masks, one called tragedy and the other called comedy, since tragedy is a character in this game and it also takes place at a theater it can be guessed the character tragedy speaks to at the end of this video is probably called comedy.

@@RoseDeleca ohh alright thank you!

@@RoseDeleca Not only that but during the ending, they say the MC (In this case Comedy) said while talking to tragedy that they were intent on making things a Good ending so that's another way to show that they are Comedy.

Why would you self insert your own shit into the game like that? There is no "gay representation" with the maiden and the overlord, they just appear friendly, not all friendly characters are romantically attracted to each other. Tragedy and its partner have an implied relationship though, and are depicted as women, you could have said that instead.

​@@_korbo_why are you so pissy

eyo

You also can't play anymore after that unless you reset the game. So it really does leave some finality to the ending

Tbh I didn’t like the battle with tragedy because of how much it assimilated undertale true pacifist run

Also can we respect the fact while the credits played Mark was talking but as soon as the lyrics started he went quiet; allowing us to listen to such a great song.

The person who made this game made a wonderful story, it would be great to see this developer go on to make bigger games or just simply continue making games in their own style.

Two sides, same coin.

Honestly same although i must admit i was sensing some romance between the maiden and the overlord throughout the whole thing.

@@veracaide1373 well that's the point of the story. The fiction of the bad end theater was inspired by the real events tragedy went through, and who knows that may be a layer deeper where the whole game of fiction was based on the real life experiences of the creator. And honestly it makes sense after seeing the ending and looking back on it. The maiden and the overlord very clearly had a very special relationship and one that was always doomed to fail because of the community around them. The townspeople can't accept that the maiden would befriend a demon, in most endings the hero doesn't really believe or does nothing to really help the situation and the demons who try to start an uprising don't allow the relationship to exist even if all of that is circumvented.

@@alecbormia4523 i’m aware lmao i watched the video. I’m just saying that as someone who doesn’t often ship people i was shipping the maiden and the overlord from the start.

@@thechristfollower1723 You wanted it to be more pronounced?

Probably because while they have a romance factor there’s also redemption arc for the demons and the overlord also for the hero every character has a redemption arc and it’s played masterfully

Shit's like undertale

Honestly same, it’s been so long but I hold out hope.

Hits you right in the feels

I really love that someone else noticed that. It doesn’t say tragedy’s true ending because its officially an ending for the character we marked as tragedy but also an end to the tragedy that took place for the game to happen. Absolutely beautiful.

is tragedy's end based on a true story? maybe from the game creator's experience or something? I've been trying to find something online but I don't see anything.

​@@orihallmark Apparently the creator had a contriverisal relationship earlier in her life which will lead us towards an argument about morality (and I will not discuss about). I believe Tragedy's true end is likely to be based off a real story, but despite the apparent "good" end where Tragedy is reunited with her lover in the final story... I think her earlier comments leading into the final story indicate her story didn't have a good ending.

@@underscoredfrisk ah I see, that really sucks :(

You could say... the community?

Yes

Seems like truly ignorance was the antagonist all along

I mean……. The antagonist could be the player. Forcing the characters to suffer over and over again.

@@itsthejavavoid But if it weren't for the player, the characters would've never gotten their true endings

I JUST DID THAT :D

this is so real honestly

Honestly loved that part as well. It's such a small gesture but shows how much he respects the effort put into the game.

I know right, just giving the spotlight to the song out of respect

There are so many people on this platform who would have talked over it, and not really cared. Markiplier is a class act on a whole 'nother level.

He would do the same to every game which makes him an even more respectful gamer. Waiting till experience everything the game has to offer until he takes his part

He's just like; "God.. God damn. This happens to me all the time." *Immediately switches voice.* Gotta admit, if Tragedy just looked identical to the player that voice would work almost perfectly. And.. That'd also lead to a more insane ending, and another bad ending, because that'd be oddly fitting. Almost in a slightly morbid way. In the end tragedy was just a future version of yourself somehow. You're just in the loop forever now. Just as you're about to get a happy ending, SIKE- Fitting end for Bad End theater. Kind of? A bit too morbid for.. Anyone's tastes, really. But naturally, that would never work for what the story was actually going for. Honestly I think a few games have already done that, though..

@@bluerivers9865 I've never "Pretty cried", so... I guess I'm just an ugly crier. Though, I suppose that's because I have such a will that I don't cry unless it's just too much to bear. Perhaps, however, there have been times when I've shed a single tear, whilst barely holding myself together. Those are the only moments when it's climactic. But, unfortunately, the only time it was not dramatic or fitting to do so, maybe even funny in a sense, was when I was in middle school. I had been walking to my seat, eager to eat my deliciously smelling food, when the antagonist of most of my tales, my "school bully", had tripped me on my way to my chair. I fell, of course, and my meal had flown from their spots on my tray into the air, and fallen, almost comically, onto my head. My hat, which had been flung off of my head due to the force and speed of my fall catching the brim of my baseball cap, had then landed upside down on my tray, staining the top in an extremely obvious place. I got up onto my knees, placed my hands on my lap, and barely held it together as a single tear fell from my cheek onto my hand. Now that I look back, however, it appears that this tale wasn't as funny as I had initially thought anymore... Well, I apologize for rambling.

It felt like story-boarding your own story, but turning it into an experience, meanwhile addressing futility, peer pressure, expectations, going against the grain; as well as hope, tenacity, and whatever the other two terms the characters were assigned in the boss battle. The concept of tragedy and comedy in tandem like yin and yang, a direct allusion to the relationship Tragedy had with their partner, despite their families/backgrounds forcing them apart.

Aw I can absolutely relate with you with this. I had the same thoughts and expecting the worst attitude for the longest time when I was dating my ex. The relationship ended for reasons outside of the issues you’re highlighting, but regardless during that time we were dating it really felt like it was us vs the world, especially because they’d been brought up in such a shitty household and I had really bad anxiety about how my family would feel about our relationship. It was a really sweet albeit tumultuous time in my life, and this game outlines the kinda emotions felt in such a time oh so perfectly. If anything I just wish I embraced the highs and lows as much as I could when they happened; it was all beautiful looking back at it. Regardless, I wish you and your partner all the best in your lives. Love is a magical thing and I’m so happy for you guys :)

Why you make me cri 😖😖

I hope you guys are still doing well! Stories like yours keep me going

A lot of guys can relate to that. It's subtle, but there. You have a duty to yourself, and what makes you happy. Being yourself is the best way to be, your best self.

the endings that got me the most were the ones where the hero fails without dying, and he questions what being a hero truly means. it reminds me of one of my favorite sayings: “you either die the hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
