History VideoGame / PitPeople

One day, [[VideoGame/BattleBlockTheater a space bear gets shot down]] and plummets into the World, forever changing the planet. It brought about [[BreadMilkEggsSquick peace, harmony, carnage and mayhem]] throughout the land, which isn't helped by the fact that the space bear's [[AlienBlood green blood]] frequently brings out storms that actually kill people. Making sense of it all is a humble blueberry farmer named Horatio. During an attack that coincided with a massive bear blood storm, his house gets destroyed and his son dies (no thanks to a certain sadistic and callous narrator,who claimed to have "butterfingers"). And now, Horatio brings it upon himself to bring order to the land... somehow. But the narrator wants to see to it that the lives of Horatio and his allies will become a living hell.

->"I find myself wondering what the world must have been like... before the bear crashed into our frail planet, transforming all we once knew into a colorful kaleidoscope of delicious chaos, and I love... it. The world was more hospitable, no doubt. More orderly, more sensibly sickening because it sounded ''BORING''. And I '''HATE''' being bored! I can't imagine a world without the bear, or the storms, yes, the storms, beautiful waves of emerald blood cry down from the heavens promising death and lawless disarray, constantly upsetting the order. I get butterflies in my tummy just thinking about it. ''Yes.'' '''YES!''' Speaking of which..."
-->--'''The Narrator'''

!!Pit People contains examples of these tropes:

--> '''[[spoiler:Honey Kiss:]]''' How are you guys... breathing up here? I mean, I'm no scientist, but...

* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler:The gigantic space bear that was killed by a WaveMotionGun that came out of Hatty Hattington's hat at the end of ''VideoGame/BattleblockTheater''? That was Honey Hug, who was in some way related to Honey Kiss, this game's narrator and BigBad. This is lampshaded by the song in the background of the cutscene showing this connection repeating the phrase "[[CallBack And it all makes sense now!]]".]]

--> '''Narrator:''' Oh, [[BlatantLies the one with the mustache told me you guys were weak and stupid. I don't know why he'd say that]], hmm.

* VillainousBreakdown: Honey Kiss does ''not'' appreciate Horatio continuing to survive in the first battle, retaliating by [[spoiler: killing Hansel, starting Horatio's quest to bring him back]].
--> '''Honey Kiss''': I SAID HORATIO '''''DIES!''''' [[spoiler: ''(crushes the house and Hansel)]]'' ''OOPS!'' '''''BUTTERFINGERS!'''''

** Horatio is TheLeader, a straightforward sword and shield user who is [[TheChewToy the primary chew toy]] of the [[GodIsEvil Narrator]] [[spoiler:after his son is killed]].
** Yosef the demi-clops is TheLancer. He and Horatio become soul-bonded before entering the arena the first time, and within the existing story missions so far, he is most involved in helping Horatio.
** Princess Pipistrella fits in the category of TheBigGuy, as she is similar to Horatio (at first) except that her weapon of choice — a ridiculously heavy royal scepter — allows her to deal [[ArmorPiercingAttack extra damage to armored enemies.]]
** Sofia fits the role of TheSmartGuy, as her starting equipment allows her to capture the last remaining enemy, to add to your team, and her starting weapon is a light sword, which reduces enemy evasion chances at the expense of doing less damage against all enemies.
** Gluten, who is an ActualPacifist and the group's [[WhiteMage healer]], is TheChick. In fact, when Gluten joins the team, the entry on Cupcakes shows them as having distinctly ''cute anime eyes''.
