History VideoGame / DoItForMe

''[[https://lixiangames.itch.io/doitforme Do It For Me]]'' is a short side-scroller by [=LixianTV=], a famous [=YouTube=] animator, in under 24 hours for a contest.

It's another one of those "horrific psychological horror game disguised as a plucky school game" games, like ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' and ''VideoGame/BaldisBasicsInEducationAndLearning''.

** The girlfriend in the "Psychopath" ending. You kill her after she has outlived her usefulness, but by that point she had already tried to manipulate you into killing innocent students so one can safely say she had it coming. In the "Awake" ending, she gets arrested after it turns out she was hiding a gun.
** Arguably the protagonist in the "Puppet" ending. Yes, the girlfriend frames him, but he ''did'' commit murder simply to please someone who obviously didn't love him back.

* ArcNumber: All the lockers you come across have the number 17. In the "Blind Love" ending it's revealed that locker 17 is hers and that's where she keeps a gun.

* BastardGirlfriend: Your girlfriend who tries to manipulate you into killing the students and either kills ''you'' if you don't, despite you being in love with her, or lets the police arrest you if you don't do it to her complete satisfaction.

** The girlfriend in the "Psychopath" ending. You kill her after she has outlived her usefulness, but by that point she had already tried to manipulate you into killing innocent students so one can safely say she had it coming.

* EverybodyLives: The "Awake" ending has the protagonist refuse to kill anyone and turn the girlfriend in to the police, and no one dies, including the girlfriend.

** The girlfriend in the "Psychopath"-ending. You kill her after she has outlived her usefulness, but by that point she had already tried to manipulate you into killing innocent students so one can safely say she had it coming.
** Arguably the protagonist in the "Puppet"-ending. Yes, the girlfriend frames him, but he ''did'' commit murder simply to please someone who obviously didn't love him back.

* BigBad: Seemingly the Wuffles/Wooffles, black monsters that are terrorizing the protagonist's girlfriend and who he must kill to prove his love for her. However, they're actually [[HumanAllAlong innocent classmates]]- the real villain is [[LoveInterestTraitor the girlfriend]], who tries to manipulate the protagonist into killing the students for her own amusement.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's implied in the "Awake" ending that the girlfriend's manipulations might be supernatural. In the end though, it's kept ambiguous. Maybe she's a succubus-like demon, or maybe she's just a really good manipulator.
* MooksButNoBosses: The Wooffles serve as enemies for the player to fight, but there is no boss in any of the endings. The girlfriend, the BigBad, is confronted but never fought- even in the "Psychopath" ending, where you kill her, she is too scared to fight back.

** "Innocent Love": Collect all hearts without killing a single Wooffle. You refuse to commit the massacre, but can't bring yourself to breaking up with her. So she does the massacre herself... [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness starting with you]].

''Do It For Me'' is a short side-scroller by [=LixianTV=], a famous [=YouTube=] animator, in under 24 hours for a contest.

* NamelessNarrative: No characters are named.

* PacifistRun: The "Innocent Love" and "Awake" endings require you to go through the game without killing a single Wooffle.

* HeartSymbol: The collectibles are giant hearts, representing the love between the protagonist and his girlfriend. Or so it seems, but [[WickedHeartSymbol it actually represents]] the protagonist's [[{{Ynadere}} unhealthy "love"]] for his [[AxCrazy psychotic]] and {{manipulative|Bitch}} abuser.

* MultipleEndings:

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's implied in the "Awake" ending that the girlfriend's manipulations might be supernatural. In the end though, it's kept ambiguous. Maybe she's a succubus-like demon, or maybe she's just a really good manipulator.

* DoubleMeaningTitle: At first, "Do it for me" sounds like a romantic thing a lover would say to another. But when the game's context is refitted, "Do it for me" sounds like an order a serial killer would give to their accomplice.

** "Puppet": Collect at least one heart and kill at least one Wooffle, but do not get all of them. You're arrested for your crimes while your girlfriend gets off scot-free.
** "Blind Love": Collect all hearts and kill all Wooffles. You and your girlfriend finish the massacre together.
** "Innocent Love": Collect all hearts without killing a single Wooffle. You refuse to commit the massacre, but can't bring yourself to breaking up with her. So she does the massacre herself...starting with you.
** "Psychopath": Kill all Wooffles without collecting a single heart. You commit the massacre...but not for her. You finish it by killing her.

** "Puppet": You're arrested for your crimes while your girlfriend gets off scot-free.

* AxesAtSchool: Not an axe; a knife. And later, a gun.

* DownerEnding: Four out of five endings.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's implied in the "Awake" ending that your girlfriend's manipulations might be supernatural. In the end though, it's kept ambiguous. Maybe she's a succubus-like demon, or maybe she's just a really good manipulator.

* PayEvilUntoEvil: In the Psychopath ending, you dish out an appropriately IronicDeath to your girlfriend.

* RoseHairedSweetie: Subverted hardcore. The girlfriend and her pink hair makes her seem like a bubbly anime girl at first, but she's in fact a psychotic maniac.
* TheSociopath: The girlfriend, who's not only incredibly manipulative, but completely AxCrazy.
** The player can also be one in the appropriately titled "Psychopath" ending.
* TeensAreMonsters: You and your girlfriend, a couple of potential school shooters, are high-school age. Just like most real-life school shooters.
* UnholyMatrimony: [[spoiler: In every ending except "Awake" and "Innocent Love", but especially "Blind Love".]]
* WickedHeartSymbol: The collectibles are big cartoony hearts. At first, they seem like representations of your love for your girlfriend, but they're actually representations of your girlfriend's manipulations.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The girlfriend has pink hair so she looks like a RoseHairedSweetie, likely a way of covering up her true self.

You play as a young man trying to earn his girlfriend's love, so you fight your way through a flashy SugarBowl, collecting hearts while defeating black monsters known as Woofles. But as you venture through, the game begins to glitch, and it becomes apparent that something is wrong...

* AxCrazy: The girlfriend, and possibly the player, if you so choose.

* TheBlank: The girlfriend already has no eyes thanks to BlindingBangs, but in the endings where you break out of her influence, her PsychoticSmirk completely vanishes, likely to show how nonexistent her humanity really is.
* BlindingBangs: The girlfriend, to creepy effect.
* CapsLock / BoldInflation: The girlfriend talks like this, to make her voice sound more demanding.

* CuteMonster: The world is such a SugarBowl that even the "monsters" you're supposed to kill are adorable.

* HeartSymbol / WickedHeartSymbol: The collectibles are big cartoony hearts. At first, they seem like representations of your love for your girlfriend, but they're actually representations of your girlfriend's manipulations.
* InformedAttribute / InformedAttractiveness: Intentional. The player keeps harping on his girlfriend's "beautiful eyes", but...she has none, thanks to her BlindingBangs. This is likely a metaphor for how he, in his delusion, sees humanity where there is none.
* {{Jerkass}}: Fitting for a sociopath trying to feign love, the girlfriend is a controlling bitch.
* KarmaHoudini: In the "Puppet" ending, the police mistake [[spoiler: the girlfriend]] for another victim, and [[spoiler: she]] gets away scot-free while the player is arrested. It's also never stated if [[spoiler: she]] receives any comeuppance in "Blind Love" or "Innocent Love", though it's likely seeing how [[spoiler: she's]] probably not gonna get away with a school shooting.
* LoveInterestTraitor: The girlfriend betrays the player in the "Puppet" and "Innocent Love" endings, while the player betrays the girlfriend in the "Psychopath" ending.

** "Blind Love": [[spoiler: You and your girlfriend finish the massacre together.]] How romantic!
** "Awake": [[spoiler: You come to your senses, reject your girlfriend, and get her arrested.]]
** "Innocent Love": [[spoiler: You refuse to commit the massacre, but can't bring yourself to breaking up with her. So she does the massacre herself...starting with you.]]
** "Psychopath": [[spoiler: You commit the massacre...but not for her. You finish it by killing her.]]
** "Puppet": [[spoiler: You're arrested for your crimes while your girlfriend gets off scot-free.]]

* PsychoticSmirk: The girlfriend has one by default, yet ironically she looks ''even creepier'' [[Main/TheBlank without it]].

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The girlfriend has pink hair so she looks like a RoseHairedSweetie, [[spoiler: likely a way of covering up her true self.]]

You play as a young man trying to earn his girlfriend's love, so you fight your way through a flashy SugarBowl.

[[Main/MandatoryTwistEnding Except not really]].

It's revealed in all the endings that all the monsters your girlfriend has been encouraging you to kill were actually students, and that the SugarBowl is just a mundane highschool. That's right, it's pretty much a school shooter simulator in disguise.

It's another one of those "horrific psychological horror game disguised as a plucky school game" games, like ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' or ''VideoGame/BaldisBasicsInEducationAndLearning''.

* InformedAttribute / InformedAttractiveness: Intentional. The player keeps harping on his girlfriend's "beautiful eyes", but...she has none, thanks to her BlindingBangs. This is likely a metaphor for how he, in his delusion, sees [[Main/WindowsOfTheSoul humanity]] where there is none.

* KarmaHoudini: In the "Puppet" ending, the police mistake the girlfriend for another victim, and she gets away scot-free while the player is arrested. It's also never stated if she receives any comeuppance in "Blind Love" or "Innocent Love", though it's likely seeing how she's probably not gonna get away with a school shooting.
