* NintendoHard: If you don't know what you're doing, your game will end very, ''very'' fast.
** A quick guide: Left click to send up a white block. Right click to send up a much faster grey block. Your goal is to cause blocks of the same color to crash into each other. 3 options for that:
*** Have a falling block land on a matching block on the ground, destroying both.
*** Send a fallen block up to collide in mid air with a matching block (does not have to be glowing).
*** Cause two glowing blocks to collide in mid air, causing them both to glow even brighter and explode harmlessly when they hit the ground.
** White and grey blocks stay on the ground afterwards, but are destroyed by glowing colored blocks slamming through them.
** Using the scroll wheel speeds everything up a little. Holding the space bar speeds it up a LOT.
** You lose health every time a glowing block lands, and gain it whenever you cause blocks to vanish. Your health also depletes gradually over time. You can launch blocks off the sides of the screen, which destroys them but does do a slight amount of health damage. More colors appear as the game progresses. Flashing "bomb" circles occasionally appear, which when hit with a glowing block will destroy all blocks of the same color. Like Tetris, the game level goes up as you play.

* SelfHarm: Uuji's internal monologue in one of the text files implies that he does this.
-->"It's a matter of time before they think it's strange for me to always be wearing long sleeves. It's not something small enough to hide with a watch. And when those people realize it, I'll automatically be estranged from them. Until that time, I'll let them misunderstand. I enjoy being with them."
* SequelHook:
** Uuji's commentary during Metsu's GoldenEnding suggests that [[spoiler:he's not 100% happy with how things turned out. ]]
** Mentions of Irisu Syndrome Kai (aka Irisu Syndrome: Solution) are sometimes thought to be confirmation of a sequel, but it turns out Kai was just the working name for Metsu.
* StalkerWithACrush:
** Irisu is convinced that she and Uuji are soulmates because she chanced to see some doodles on his notebook, depicting [[spoiler: cats killing themselves in various ways]]. Uuji reads in her diary/notepad that she feels their relationship is going forward quite well despite them ''never speaking to each other.''
** Metsu reveals that Uuji also has a stalker-like crush on Irisu, filtered through his own personal insanity: He finds out that she wants to kill his friends, and wants to try to get her to kill ''him'', too.
* StartOfDarkness: Metsu mode serves as this for Irisu [[spoiler:and, to a certain point, Uuji]], explaining what happened with the bunny and the "plan", and so on.
* ThreeAmigos: Edogawa, Uuji, and Ageha, the three university students. [[spoiler:Irisu joins them in Metsu's GoldenEnding.]]
* TheStinger: There are multiple throughout the game:
** After getting the good ending of the original game, the background of the main menu is replaced with MadnessMantra scrawl after a certain amount of time has passed. (This can be forced by holding down the spacebar, which causes the game to run at max speed.)
** After the good ending, get 40k points on normal mode and [[spoiler:Ageha's picture gets whited out.]] This subsequently unlocks Metsu mode.
** Get 100,000 points in normal mode before playing Metsu [[spoiler:and there will be a new picture in the game folder, of "Bunny Suicide" doodles... which Irisu apparently found. It's splattered with blood, the tortured bunny has had glowing red eyes drawn on top of it... and Irisu has drawn a demonic bunny coming out from the bottom of the page, with glowing, insane eyes]].
** Getting to level 100 in Metsu Mode [[spoiler:causes Irisu on the title screen to start smiling]], and the round to end immediately.
* ShoutOut:
** Edogawa always wears a shirt with a design on it, each design referring to another game by the same creator. The one he wears during the camping trip is a [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed rendition]] of the [[VideoGame/EarthBound Mother 2]] logo reading Ma Mo Mo (short for ''Maou Monogatari Monogatari''). In the "photo" in the game folder, his shirt shows the characters from Ototsukai, while another shirt in the Metsu ending references ''VideoGame/AiToYuukiToKashiwaMochi''.
** The game references the ''Suicidal Bunnies'' books by Andy Riley, though he's only referred to as "some foreign cartoonist called something-or-other."
** A few of the suicidal cat doodles also reference Ma Mo Mo.
* ShrinkingViolet: Initially, Irisu is very shy and always by herself. An attempt to cure her of this [[spoiler:by murdering her pet rabbit, accidentally leaving the head for her to find]] kickstarts the events depicted in the game.
* SpookyPhotographs:
** The game comes with a picture of the ThreeAmigos in the game folder. As you progress through the game, the picture is altered. [[spoiler: The game's bad ending results in all three of their faces scribbled out in black, while getting the good ending returns it to normal.

** TheStinger reveals a picture of [[spoiler:tortured stick figure rabbits]], the drawing Uuji used to send Irisu over the edge in the bad ending... only with a big black X marked through it. Looking at the picture from a distance reveals a larger drawing of a demonic rabbit.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: It's unknown if Irisu got therapy after what happened [[spoiler:in middle school]], but given the fact that the game takes place in Japan... she was probably [[{{Hikikomori}} left to her own devices]] instead. [[spoiler:Also no word on if Uuji was getting help, but Ageha does call him out on his creepy cat drawings once she feels comfortable enough around him. This turns out to be a very bad idea.]]

** Good ending (scoring 20,000 points): [[spoiler:Irisu calms down, and instead of killing the 3 protagonists, she convinces Edogawa and Uuji to "disappear" and comes back to scare Ageha ([[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou and the player]]). However, afterwards it turns out that Irisu's "plan" was just a surprise birthday party for Ageha, and she and Irisu have a heartfelt discussion. (The original stinger insinuates that she still has major issues with the cat-obsessed Ageha, given the fact that she ends up erasing her face from the photo between this and Metsu.)]]
** Original [[TheStinger Stinger]]: [[spoiler:Get 40,000 points in Irisu Syndrome after getting the good ending to unlock Metsu mode. You get a new text file, and Ageha's face in the photo is whited out.]]
** Extra Stinger (100,000 points in normal mode ''before'' playing Metsu): [[spoiler:Irisu finds the bunny suicide picture, presumably after the good ending. She scribbles a demonic bunny on it, with glowing, hate-filled red eyes. It is titled U-tarou.png, the same name as her killed bunny. It is possible that she went insane again after seeing this, and that the three friends are ''screwed''.]]
** Metsu ending (Get all of the journal entries on Metsu's title screen, then get 50,000 points in Metsu): [[spoiler:Uuji decides to work his best at getting everyone together, although he's not sure he is happy with the situation. Ageha and Edogawa are starting to fall for each other, and with his help, Irisu has joined in with the group as a new friend, and Edogawa and Ageha are now performing their "no {{Hikikomori}}s allowed" policy on her. It's insinuated that someone found his journal about the bunny, but this has little effect on the overall plot.]]
* MurderTheHypotenuse:
** [[spoiler:Irisu's plan for dealing with Ageha and Edogawa so she can be with Uuji.]]
** [[spoiler: Uuji's ultimate plan involves [[InsaneTrollLogic inflicting this on himself by purposefully setting off Irisu so that she kills him]].]]
* NewGamePlus: Beating the game unlocks Metsu mode, which plays hell with the rules. New bubbles float up from the bottom, which supplement the rubble on the ground. In addition, you can no longer launch trash out of the screen to get rid of it. More story explanations are also given as you play.
* NightmareFuelColoringBook: Uuji's sketches of suicidal cats, which he excuses as trying to emulate a European cartoon book, ''The Book of Bunny Suicides''.
* NintendoHard:
*** Have a falling block land on a matching block on the ground, destroying both.
*** Send a fallen block up to collide in mid air with a matching block (does not have to be glowing).
*** Cause two glowing blocks to collide in mid air, causing them both to glow even brighter
** White and grey blocks stay on the ground afterwards,
** Using
* NothingIsScarier:
** During the
** Irisu.txt, the text file describing her, consists of nothing but [[VisibleSilence "..."]]
* ObliviousToLove: [[spoiler:Horrifyingly subverted. Uuji recognizes Ageha has a crush on him, but is annoyed by it
** You lose health every time a glowing block lands,
* OlderThanTheyLook: Although the characters are university students, the cutesy art style makes them look as if they're still in junior high.
* ObliviousToLove: Uuji recognizes that Ageha has a crush on him, but is annoyed by it more than anything else.
* OutDamnedSpot: [[spoiler:Uuji's mentions of how "he'd remember the bunny by the bruises" and how he's never shown wearing short sleeves suggests that he's been self-harming for ''years'', even after otherwise forgetting about the bunny incident.]]
* PaintingTheMedium: Text files appear in the game's directory, and an included picture of Edogawa, Ageha, and Uuji is modified to reflect how the story progress.
* PairTheSpares: [[spoiler:In the best ending, Uuji decides to try to get Ageha and Edogawa together, since they make a much better couple than himself and Ageha, which also leaves him available to date Irisu.]]
* PuzzleGame: Incredibly simple, involving destroying colorful blocks to rack up points, but still ''very'' hard.
* RealityEnsues: In Uuji's .txt entry, he discovers Irisu's plans to [[spoiler:invite him, Ageha, and Edogawa on a trip, murder the latter two, and erase the evidence that she was there]]. In his entry, he points out that even if the plan was carried out successfully, he'd still have to tell the police ''something''.
* TheReveal: In the original game, we learn that Uujima is the unfortunate victim of [[spoiler:[[StalkerWithACrush Irisu's affections]], and only because he draws pictures of cats dying in gruesome ways, which he claims he's only drawing in the first place because he's trying to imitate [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Bunny_Suicides an actual European cartoon book]]]]. However, ''Metsu'' reveals that [[spoiler:Uujima [[EvilAllAlong is the real villain]]; he knew about Irisu's affections towards him and her plot to kill Ageha and Edogawa, and ''[[BatmanGambit he purposely drew the picture of the rabbits dying to set her off.]]'' It's also revealed that [[ManBehindTheMan he's the one who decapitated the already diseased rabbit that Irisu took care of in her childhood]], [[FreudianExcuse scarring her and kickstarting her downward spiral]]]].
* ScarySurpriseParty: The good ending turns out to be this. [[spoiler: Happy birthday, Ageha! Haha, that sure was some prank,
* ScoringPoints: The game is based around doing this - many events, including unlocking Metsu mode, are only triggered by reaching certain
* SelfHarm: Uuji's internal monologue in one of the text files implies that he does this.
-->"It's a matter of time before they think it's strange for me to always be wearing long sleeves. It's not something small enough to hide with a watch. And when those people realize it, I'll automatically be estranged from them. Until that time, I'll let them misunderstand. I enjoy being with them."
* SequelHook:
** Uuji's commentary during Metsu's GoldenEnding suggests that [[spoiler:he's not 100% happy with how things turned out. ]]
** Mentions of Irisu Syndrome Kai (aka Irisu Syndrome: Solution) are sometimes thought to be confirmation of a sequel, but it turns out Kai was just the working name for Metsu.
* StalkerWithACrush:
** Irisu is convinced that she and Uuji are soulmates because she chanced to see some doodles on his notebook, depicting [[spoiler: cats killing themselves in various ways]]. Uuji reads in her diary/notepad that she feels their relationship is going forward quite well despite them ''never speaking to each other.''
** Metsu reveals that Uuji also has a stalker-like crush on Irisu, filtered through his own personal insanity: He finds out that she wants to kill his friends, and wants to try to get her to kill ''him'', too.
* StartOfDarkness: Metsu mode serves as this for Irisu [[spoiler:and, to a certain point, Uuji]], explaining what happened with the bunny and the "plan", and so on.
* ThreeAmigos: Edogawa, Uuji, and Ageha, the three university students. [[spoiler:Irisu joins them in Metsu's GoldenEnding.]]
* TheStinger: There are multiple throughout the game:
** After getting the good ending of the original game, the background of the main menu is replaced with MadnessMantra scrawl after a certain amount of time has passed. (This can be forced by holding down the spacebar, which causes the game to run at max speed.)
** After the good ending, get 40k points on normal mode and [[spoiler:Ageha's picture gets whited out.]] This subsequently unlocks Metsu mode.
** Get 100,000 points in normal mode before playing Metsu [[spoiler:and there will be a new picture in the game folder, of "Bunny Suicide" doodles... which Irisu apparently found. It's splattered with blood, the tortured bunny has had glowing red eyes drawn on top of it... and Irisu has drawn a demonic bunny coming out from the bottom of the page, with glowing, insane eyes]].
** Getting to level 100 in Metsu Mode [[spoiler:causes Irisu on the title screen to start smiling]], and the round to end immediately.
* ShoutOut:
** Edogawa always wears a shirt with a design on it, each design referring to another game by the same creator. The one he wears during the camping trip is a [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed rendition]] of the [[VideoGame/EarthBound Mother 2]] logo reading Ma Mo Mo (short for ''Maou Monogatari Monogatari''). In the "photo" in the game folder, his shirt shows the characters from Ototsukai, while another shirt in the Metsu ending references ''VideoGame/AiToYuukiToKashiwaMochi''.
** The game references the ''Suicidal Bunnies'' books by Andy Riley, though he's only referred to as "some foreign cartoonist called something-or-other."
** A few of the suicidal cat doodles also reference Ma Mo Mo.
* ShrinkingViolet: Initially, Irisu is very shy and always by herself. An attempt to cure her of this [[spoiler:by murdering her pet rabbit, accidentally leaving the head for her to find]] kickstarts the events depicted in the game.
* SpookyPhotographs:
** The game comes with a picture of the ThreeAmigos in the game folder. As you progress through the game, the picture is altered. [[spoiler: The game's bad ending results in all three of their faces scribbled out in black, while getting the good ending returns it to normal. That is, until you unlock [[NewGamePlus Metsu mode]], after which Ageha's face will be whited out.]]
** TheStinger reveals a picture of [[spoiler:tortured stick figure rabbits]], the drawing Uuji used to send Irisu over the edge in the bad ending... only with a big black X marked through it. Looking at the picture from a distance reveals a larger drawing of a demonic rabbit.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: It's unknown if Irisu got therapy after what happened [[spoiler:in middle school]], but given the fact that the game takes place in Japan... she was probably [[{{Hikikomori}} left to her own devices]] instead. [[spoiler:Also no word on if Uuji was getting help, but Ageha does call him out on his creepy cat drawings once she feels comfortable enough around him. This turns out to be a very bad idea.]]
* WhenSheSmiles: Irisu gives a sincerely happy smile when level 100 and the subsequent GoldenEnding are reached in Metsu mode.
* WhamEpisode: Before ''Metsu's'' release the game had very little explanation, just that Irisu occasionally snaps, and [[spoiler:the two endings switched between her murdering everyone and her ''not'' murdering everyone]]. Metsu unveils the rest of the story.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Irisu really hates cats due to her happening upon [[spoiler:her pet rabbit's decapitated head being licked by a cat.]] Her seeing Uuji's "''The Bunny Suicides'' with kittens instead" drawings is what causes the game's events.
* {{Yandere}}: [[PsychoticLoveTriangle A rare two-way example.]] [[spoiler:Irisu is insane due to her pet rabbit being horrifically murdered; Uuji is an apparently natural psychopath who wants Irisu to kill him out of some sort of twisted sense of romance... and who decapitated said pet rabbit after its death, wanting people to remember it after its passing.]] Both are, at first glance, perfectly normal, albeit somewhat shy.

Added DiffLines:
* BigBad: Irisu Kyouko, the deranged bunny girl VillainProtagonist out to murder Edogawa and Ageha, [[spoiler:[[DiscOneFinalBoss seems to be this at first]], but it's actually Uujima Satoshi who is pretty much responsible for the plot, manipulating her into carrying out his twisted desires to kill the three of them [[DeathSeeker including himself]] (though it’s also implied that the spirit of U-tarou, Irisu’s dead bunny, is influencing Irisu)]].
* BullyingADragon: [[spoiler:Intentionally done by Uuji,]] accidentally done by Ageha (she tells Irisu off during the good ending for basically stalking Uuji).
* BullyingADragon: [[spoiler:Intentionally done by Uuji,]] accidentally done by Ageha (she tells Irisu off during the good ending for basically stalking Uuji).
Added DiffLines:
* BreakTheCutie: Irisu goes through quite a lot. [[spoiler:She was alone for most of her elementary school life, and the one friend she did have, U-tarou the pet rabbit, is brutally killed and decapitated, leaving Irisu to find its remains.]]
* CatsAreMean: Irisu thinks so. She hates cats more than anything else after seeing a cat lick the blood from the school rabbit's severed head. The game doesn't really hint whether this trope is truly in play or if the cat was just following its instincts. There may even be a bit of an aversion, as the cat and rabbit apparently got along just fine while the rabbit was alive and would even play with one another through the fence.
* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler:Uuji purposely plans to set Irisu off so she would kill him.]]
* DemonicPossession: Heavily, heavily implied to be the source of the above images and the ultimate cause of everything. [[spoiler:The spirit of the bunny isn't happy that Uuji got away with murdering it, isn't happy that it was forgotten, isn't happy that Irisu's being mistreated... TheStinger is named U-tarou, just like the original bunny, too.]]
* DrivenToMadness: A horrifically realistic portrayal, as Irisu spirals out of control during the game's events.
* DummiedOut: Several hidden text files and images were included in the game's data files but never referenced or unlocked. These include profiles, character design sketches, and [[spoiler:Irisu talking about the block-destroying game that she plays to keep sane, named [[FridgeHorror uutaroutherabbit.txt]].]]
* DysfunctionJunction: Irisu is [[BrokenBird seriously messed up]], but you find out later that [[spoiler:Uuji is ''infinitely worse'']].
* EarnYourBadEnding: The final unlockable in normal mode [[spoiler:implies that Irisu found the suicidal bunny pictures and became mad again]]. However...
* EarnYourHappyEnding:
** The game is something Irisu plays with herself to keep calm. Score below 20k, and [[spoiler:she'll end up going berserk and most likely killing everyone. Score over 20k, and she'll tear right through the 4th wall to attack Ageha anyway... Except it turns out the whole thing is just a really weird surprise party setup by Irisu. (Although it's heavily implied she goes after Ageha anyway.) Score over 50k in the new NewGamePlus ''Metsu'' mode, and Irisu will start dressing normally, and the ThreeAmigos — now Four Amigos — will pose for a picture]].
** Arguably, also the case when you reach level 100 in ''Metsu''. [[spoiler:The smile she gives the camera is sweet and genuine.]]
* EndlessGame: Normal mode goes on for as long as you can endure. Metsu mode ends at level 100.
* EvolvingTitleScreen: [[spoiler:When you get the good ending, hold down the spacebar and the background will begin to go much faster before it turns into a description of the events where Uuji murders U-tarou, written by Irisu herself. The next change happens if you unlock Metsu mode, where it shows the decapitated head of a cat on the bottom right corner of the screen. Clicking on it takes you to Metsu mode, which also changes the title screen via changing the logo to a dark red version with a darker background while Irisu is walking with her back turned. The Album option is also gone in this mode. The final change occurs when you reach Level 100 on Metsu, where Irisu is shown smiling and looking towards the screen, and the same description from before is in the background.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''Meet Irisu, Bunnygirl Witch Extraordinaire!'']]
A freeware Japanese puzzle game starring a cute bunny girl, Irisu Kyouko. There are shapes of various colors falling down. Use your mouse to launch white blocks to make the shapes collide with another of the same color to score points and regain health. Can be downloaded [[http://www.vector.co.jp/soft/dl/win95/game/se463417.html here]], and there is a fan-made English patch [[http://www.mediafire.com/?nlujzb91wjl0bu7 here]].
As you progress through the game gaining more and more points, you can unlock various scenes involving three university students out on a camping trip. Of note is an old story one of them tells about a witch in the area.
See also ''VideoGame/AiToYuukiToKashiWaMochi'', another puzzle game by the same creator.
----
!!This game provides an example of:
* AliceAllusion: Irisu’s name is a reference to Alice — see MeaningfulName below.
* AllThereInTheManual: Many, many things can only be read in the text files the game creates in your game folder as you continue to play the game. One, called irisu.txt, consists of [[spoiler:[[NothingIsScarier just three vertical dots]]]]. A couple of the text files, including full profiles of all four characters, can only be found by extracting them from the data library (see DummiedOut below).
* AntiPoopSocking: Inverted. Go ahead, try to click away from the program and see what happens... but [[MindScrew only when the game feels like it.]] [[spoiler:The picture above pops up. It will only happen once, and only after you have played at least 12 rounds.]] Trying to alt-tab during gameplay [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou will "break" Irisu's focus, causing the picture above to display briefly.]]
* ArrangeMode: After clearing the main game, you unlock Metsu mode. As before, you go for a high score by clearing shapes, making combos, and not allowing the falling shapes to pile up. Metsu mode makes the following changes:
** You now deal with circles instead of triangles. Circles rise from the bottom of the screen and are cleared in a different way than squares are cleared.
** The area that holds shapes is bigger than before, but you can no longer knock shapes out of play.
** You don't lose health over time.
* ArtEvolution: In addition to the nicer-looking interface, ''Metsu'' also has improved shading.
* BatterUp: [[spoiler:It's actually bread. Irisu murders people with a sock full of rocks, not a bat.]]
* BunniesForCuteness: The titular Irisu, who loves bunnies and has them as part of her aesthetic! [[spoiler:[[DarthWiki/IrisuSyndrome She's not as harmless as she looks, though.]]]]
* ExpansionPack: Metsu, an updated version with an alternate gameplay mode and updated graphics.
* FallingBlocks: You have to use your mouse to get the falling blocks to hit another of the same color before they're "set" on the ground. Alternately, get two or more falling blocks to touch each other in midair, and they'll glow and give you a bigger bonus.
* GameOverMan: Irisu greets you every time you get a game over.
* IdiotHair: Ageha has ''two'', but she's not really that much of an idiot, being more of a GenkiGirl.
* MultipleEndings: Just two in the initial game, the ExpansionPack adds another.
* NintendoHard: If you don't know what you're doing, your game will end very, ''very'' fast.
** A quick guide: Left click to send up a white block. Right click to send up a much faster grey block. Your goal is to cause blocks of the same color to crash into each other. 3 options for that:
*** Have a falling block land on a matching block on the ground, destroying both.
*** Send a fallen block up to collide in mid air with a matching block (does not have to be glowing).
*** Cause two glowing blocks to collide in mid air, causing them both to glow even brighter and explode harmlessly when they hit the ground.
** White and grey blocks stay on the ground afterwards, but are destroyed by glowing colored blocks slamming through them.
** Using the scroll wheel speeds everything up a little. Holding the space bar speeds it up a LOT.
** You lose health every time a glowing block lands, and gain it whenever you cause blocks to vanish. Your health also depletes gradually over time. You can launch blocks off the sides of the screen, which destroys them but does do a slight amount of health damage. More colors appear as the game progresses. Flashing "bomb" circles occasionally appear, which when hit with a glowing block will destroy all blocks of the same color. Like Tetris, the game level goes up as you play.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Although the characters are university students, the art style makes them look as if they're still in junior high.
* PuzzleGame: Incredibly simple, but still ''very'' hard.
* ScarySurpriseParty: [[spoiler: Happy birthday, Ageha! Haha, that sure was some prank, huh? [[DarthWiki/IrisuSyndrome There's more to it than that.]]]]
* ScoringPoints: The game is based around doing this - many events, including unlocking Metsu mode, are only triggered by reaching certain scores.
* ThreeAmigos: Edogawa, Uuji, and Ageha, the three university students.
* WidgetSeries: If you can't read Japanese, you can still play it, but you will miss out on the story. Fortunately, someone already made a project to translate this game in this [[http://archive.easymodo.net/cgi-board.pl/jp/thread/6480296 link.]] Here is the [[http://www.mediafire.com/?nlujzb91wjl0bu7 latest patch.]]

to:
** SugarWiki.DreamingMary
* DarthWiki.{{Ragamiicho}} (needs to be moved to a regular work namespace, as it exists, even if the content's low quality and abandoned)
Unlikely to need merging:
* VideoGame.{{Eversion}} (people don't mind keeping it and there's a Sugar Wiki page)
** DarthWiki.{{Eversion}}
** SugarWiki.{{Eversion}}
* WebVideo.{{Googlebrains}} (has both Darth Wiki and Sugar Wiki, but they're relatively similar to each other, one mocks him and the other praises him)
** DarthWiki.{{Googlebrains}}
** SugarWiki.{{Googlebrains}}
* VideoGame.WinnieThePoohsHomeRunDerby (as explained [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16178147260A65299900&page=1#comment-11 here]], it has some uses and it's not comparable to other pages as the Darth Wiki content is fictional and memetic in nature, but the main page would likely need cleanup)
