History VideoGame / PsychoKiller

* MultipleEndings: There's a not-as-well-known second ending if you check the train time table at the station and go to the left platform and wait for a train to arrive. You can [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere board the train to escape the killer]], but the ending states that he proceeded to kill the girl and four others. You can also ''not'' board the train and the player will narrate that [[ConscienceMakesYouGoBack he doesn't want to abandon the girl.]] This is rendered moot because doing this (or going onto the left platform without checking the time table first) will [[ControllableHelplessness lock the game into a loss state as either path you take afterwards leads to the killer getting you.]]

* BigBad: The titular psycho, Morgan James, is the one who kidnaps the girl, making the hero save her and defeat him in the end.
* CarryABigStick: After losing the machete to the flames, you walk around the forest for a bit and then arm yourself with a sufficiently large branch. Which you use in the final battle against the killer.

* EveryCarIsAPinto: If you crash the car at the beginning of the game, it explodes and you die.

* MacheteMayhem: The killer ambushes you with one while you're trying to cross a bridge, you can kick him in the face and force him to drop it. After that it can be picked up and used to attack the Killer later on, when he has a MolotovCocktail in hand. Although it slips from your hand and gets engulfed in the flames.

* MolotovCocktail: One of the weapons the killer attempts to use against you. As the developers are British, the player character rightfully identifies it as a "petrol bomb".
* NeverFoundTheBody: After the killer supposedly drowns, it's said they never found his body. Even though the news article in the end outright states that the killer was killed via drowning.

* ZeroEffortBoss: After losing his machete in the final encounter, the killer no longer seems able to do anything to you (and indeed, no matter how long you sit on the screen where he's unarmed, all he does is flail around like an idiot), so the only thing left to do is hit him in the face with a stick, which ends up with him landing into the water.

The game plays like a PointAndClick AdventureGame, you have to use the directional pad to move the pointer, pick a direction (left, up or right) and see as [=FMVs=] happen. Sometimes it's necessary to click something in time, for example to stop the car or defend yourself from the eponymous killer. There are similarities to ''VideoGame/TheTownWithNoName'', likely since both of these games were made by the same people.
