History VideoGame / Exmortis

* KickTheSonofABitch: Killing the [[Main/ImAHumanitarian scavenger]] doubles as this and KickTheDog. On one hand, being a cannibal and a sadist, he completely deserves it, but on the other, his tragic backstory that lead to him forfeiting his humanity may earn him at least some sympathy points.

* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Hannay shows a few signs of this. Understandably, having your wife and daughter ripped apart by a horde of demons and being trapped in a hellish world would probably do this to you, and he only goes after AssholeVictims, but some of his behaviors, regardless of whether you shift toward "Good" or "Evil" on the KarmaMeter are downright cruel.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Vlaew asks if Xavier is "still moaning about losing his little whore of a daughter", and refers to Mr. Hannay's spouse as his "whoring wife".

* KickTheDog: Both Mr. Hannay and Vlaew can potentially do this. Hannay can spare Azrael to keep his powers and leave him to suffer, and when he tells Vlaew this

* ShoutOut: The whole setting of the game seems to be inspired by TheEvilDead. The credits confirm this, with other other films like {{Hellraiser}} and {{Poltergeist}} along with it..

[[folder: Exmortis 3]]

* ShoutOut: The whole setting of the game seems to be inspired by TheEvilDead.

* CallBack: Likely unintentional. The first game has a screen with two doors, and it appears as if you must make a decision between the two, when in fact it's just an ordinary room that happens to have two exits. In the third game, the Reader offers Mr. Hannay a choice between two doors with a similar setup, but this time it's different: one door will lead to [[spoiler:Hannay being able to be with his daughter again]] while the other leads to [[spoiler:Hannay being able to be with his wife again]].

* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: In the third game, at the end, you face down [[spoiler:Lord Vlaew]]. He brags about how only an Ancient can beat him, but out of respect, he'll let you have the first blow. You promptly blow the pretentious bastard out of his throne with a telekinetic blast. Later, the boss fight devolves into Hannay delivering a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to Vlaew.

* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: In the second game, the Exmortis ravage the world, and return it all to the way it was during the times of darkness and chaos.

* HearingVoices: When entering the old Rehayem house in the first game, the player can hear whispers in the hallway. [[spoiler: When you try to enter the basement before a certain point in the game, a bunch of voices respond, "You must first remember, only then shall you pass."]]
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: ''Exmortis II'': so, this guy can turn invisible, leaves bloody footprints, doesn't show or name himself, has a completely inhuman voice, and leaves a 'vile stench' after he leaves. Sounds completely trustworthy!
* ImAHumanitarian: The Scavenger in ''Exmortis III''.
* [[spoiler:ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice]]: How to get past the Reader.
* JumpScare: Littered throughout. [[spoiler: In fact, there are several in the opening credits of the first game.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: The protagonist of the first game starts as one.
* MadOracle: The Hand of Repose, a living gateway for the Exmortis to invade Earth [[spoiler: and the player character of the first game]].

* NonStandardGameOver: If you choose either of the doors the Reader offers you in ''Exmortis III''.
* PaterFamilicide

* PreviousPlayerCharacterCameo: Mr. Hannay gets to fight the unnamed player character from ''Ex Mortis''.

* ShoutOut: To Creator/SamRaimi, among others.
** One of the third game's achievements is the "[[ReturnOfTheJedi Admiral]] [[MemeticMutation Ackbar]] Award".
* SimonSaysMiniGame: In the third game, the final puzzle before meeting the Scavenger is the "colored buttons" version of this trope. Failing it too many times earns you a drop onto SpikesOfDoom.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Lord Vlaew uses [[UnwittingPawn you]] to execute this on the Exmortis. And then graces you with the same treatment.]]

* TakeAThirdOption: In ''Exmortis III", the Reader tells Mr. Hannay to choose between two doors. While either door will allow you to [[spoiler:be with a deceased family member]], entering one [[MortonsFork dooms the earth to extinction]]. The correct decision is to [[spoiler:use a nearby curtain rod to [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice skewer the Reader]]]].
* TomatoSurprise: In the first game, [[spoiler: you become The Hand of Repose]].
* UltimateSacrifice: As it turns out, [[spoiler: Mr. Hannay discovers that he's innocent number five, and has to take his own life with a gun to open the portal to the Spirit Realm. He does so.]]
* VillainProtagonist: [[spoiler: The protagonist of the first game is one.]]
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Lord Vlaew does this to ''everybody'', even the ''Exmortis''.]]

* AfterTheEnd: The second game.
* ApocalypticLog: In both games, you find diaries.
* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: At least one person prefers this than to face the Exmortis.
* {{Confessional}}: In the second game, you first meet [[spoiler:Lord Vlaew]] in one.

The third and final game in the trilogy features you as the protagonist from the second game, Mr. Hannay. Hannay finds himself in a spirit realm and is able to escape, gaining supernatural powers in the process. He must now find a way to defeat the Exmortis once for all and save.mankind.

[[spoiler: The way out is to [[TakeAThirdOption smash the Reader's image in a mirror]].]]

** You also revisit the tunnel that connected the underground Temple of Exmortis with the house and outside. But the passage to the temple collapsed behind you, and an incredibly brutal slaughter of people happened over time between both games.

* BloodBath: The first and second games both feature bathtubs filled with blood inside bathrooms.
