History VideoGame / BloodwingsPumpkinheadsRevenge

* ClosestThingWeGot: This shows up in the manual of the [[FullMotionVideo FMV]] game.
--> ''The tormented spirit of Pumpkinhead has been let loose to seek vengeance among the living. Unfortunately, for the poor souls of Ferren Woods, they have nothing better than you to stop them.''
* DancePartyEnding: The game ends with [[spoiler:Pumpkinhead dancing around after you give him the item meant to "quell his soul". Notably, the actor in the suit had to remove the feet in order to do so]]. It counts since he's the last surviving character. It's also enough to drive you to madness.

* '''GuideDangIt''': To a worse extent than even contemporary {{Adventure Game}}s, a genre it borrows heavily from. Not even the manual explains what most of the items do, and what they do is [[MoonLogicPuzzle as far from self-explanatory as you can get]].

''Bloodwings: Pumpkinhead's Revenge'' is a 1994 FirstPersonShooter / FullMotionVideo game based on the horror film ''Film/PumpkinheadIIBloodWings''.

* '''GuideDangIt''': Not even the manual explains what most of the items do.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking : From the manual, "you will have to contend with currents of energy, streams of lava, and an endless stream of evil adversaries, as well as throbbing background music that may remind you of your rapidly beating heart." Even more so when you actually hear the music and realize it's a [[Main/BlatantLies blatant lie]].

** {{Averted}}, however, for the second level, where you must choose the fate of various characters from movie. You have to know who survived to progress and the game provides no hints as to who those individuals are.

* NoGearLevel: This is a severe punishment. An optional cutscene made specifically for the game involves two characters hauling stolen goods, ranging from a TV to a cardboard box and the newspaper mentioned above. Taking one of these stolen items will cause the ghost children to tell you what you just took from that scene was stolen and you have to put it back. If you choose to deny their demand three times (or get lost trying to find where the portal to the clip is), they strip you of your entire inventory, thus pretty much rendering the game {{Unwinnable}}.

* AWinnerIsYou: The ending is, at least according to [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment Spoony]], conclusive proof that the developers [[TheyJustDidntCare never intended or expected anyone]] to beat their MoonLogicPuzzle-laden piece of crap, and instead just slapped on some B-roll footage [[spoiler:(showing an actor in a Pumpkinhead costume and a pair of sneakers dancing around like an idiot for about 7 seconds)]] as a final insult to whatever player managed to crawl through their impossible mess of a game. Even worse is the alternate ending you get for foregoing the moon logic puzzle and using brute force to beat the final boss: [[spoiler: The guy just flips you off]]

* DevelopersForesight: Sort of. Just in case you haven't seen the movie, there's an optional newspaper item you can find which gives answers to a quiz about the movie needed to clear the first level.

** {{Averted}}, however, for the second level, where you must choose the fate of various characters from movie. You have to know which characters lived in the movie to progress and the game provides no hints as to who those individuals are.

* JokeItem: There are certain items you can take from the movie clips that serve no purpose other than to take up inventory space. While some of these items can technically be used, their effects are next to worthless. Most notably are the bottle of beer, which just makes the screen distorted, and the carton of cigarettes, which '''makes you take damage.'''
* MoonLogicPuzzle: Everything in the game follows a form of moon logic that even the developers probably didn't get half the time.

* NoGearLevel: This is a severe punishment, an optional cutscene made specifically for the game involves two characters hauling stolen goods, ranging from a TV to a cardboard box and the newspaper mentioned above. Taking one of these stolen items will cause ghost children to tell you what you just took from that scene was stolen and you have to put it back. If you choose to deny their demand, after the third warning to put the stolen item back, they strip you of your entire inventory, thus pretty much rendering the game {{Unwinnable}}.
* PowerCrystal: Every time you kill an enemy in the first level, you have to sit through a railshooter sequence while clicking on blue "Tantanik Crystals" to collect them, as they are a necessary power source to access the FMV sequences.

* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Sort of. Just in case you haven't seen the movie, there's an optional newspaper item you can find which gives answers to a quiz about the movie needed to clear the first level.

* SchrodingersGun: The toy Pumpkinhead loses as a child is different each time you play.

* SchrodingersGun: What toy you need to put Pumpkinhead's soul to rest is different each time you play.

* NoGearLevel: This is a severe punishment, for apparently if you take anything from a certain cutscene that was not actually a scene from the movie, a group of children will warn you to put it back. If you choose to deny their demand, they strip you of your entire inventory, thus pretty much rendering the game {{Unwinnable}}.

* AWinnerIsYou: The ending is, at least according to [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment the Spoony One]], conclusive proof that the developers [[TheyJustDidntCare never intended or expected anyone]] to beat their MoonLogicPuzzle-laden piece of crap, and instead just slapped on some B-roll footage [[spoiler:(showing an actor in a Pumpkinhead costume and a pair of sneakers dancing around like an idiot for about 7 seconds)]] as a final insult to whatever player managed to crawl through their impossible mess of a game. Even worse is the alternate ending you get for foregoing the moon logic puzzle and using brute force to beat the final boss: [[spoiler: The guy just flips you off]]
