** Mogeko also released a special flash animation called "The Sun's Curse" that focuses on the backstory of main villain BigBad Ivlis.


Added DiffLines:

* BigBad: Ivlis, leader of the Flame Demons and the Devil of their world.


Added DiffLines:

* GreyAndGrayMorality: Fittingly for a game called The Gray Garden. Initially, things are pretty [[BlackAndWhiteMorality clear-cut]], with the good, peaceful garden denizens against the evil Flame Demons. But by the end, it becomes clear that, [[spoiler: for all the [[MoralEventHorizon bad things]] the Flame Demons did, they actually have ''[[VillainHasAPoint legitimate reasons]]'' to want the [[CrapsaccharineWorld Gray Garden]] destroyed.]] For starters, it's clear that Etihw and Kcalb did some bad things in the past they're not proud of, including destroying the original world to make room for the new one. [[spoiler: But Lowrie has a hidden jerkish side, too. In addition, the Preserves Sisters are [[ImAHumanitarian cannibals]], and ''Etihw's always known this'' but has never told anyone, implying ''she's covering it up somehow.'' It's also hinted that Kcalb might still be haunted by his past to the point of having to struggle against his own violent side. Reficul and Satanick punish Ivlis through ''ColdBloodedTorture.'' And there's a traitor in the village, [[ManBehindTheMan helping Ivlis.]]]] Most notably, the thing that drove Ivlis to evil in the first place was [[spoiler: [[AbusiveParents a rejection and beating from his father Siralos,]] and a desire to gain power and seek vengeance against him.]] Overall, the Flame Demons come across as [[spoiler: [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized rebels fighting against a system]] that they believe, with some justification, has wronged them and so many innocents.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Halfway through the game, Etihw speaks to Dialo and Chelan about [[spoiler:all of the terrible things she did to Kcalb and the demons]], leading Chelan to assure her (through Dialo) that she loves her, regardless of her past. [[spoiler:At the end, Yosafire tells Kcalb the exact same thing - with CoolDownHug - to restore his will to live]].

** Normal End - [[spoiler:Fickle Fate]]:[[spoiler: If the girls lose the final battle against Ivlis, we see Kcalb despair in his final moments, before apologising to Etihw. Some time later, Etihw appears, but all they find is a trail of blood and Ivlis, who proceeds to gloat. The revelation causes Etihw's mind to break.]]

* WillfullyWeak: Etihw. While still the most powerful entity in the game, she remains in her (vulnerable to capture and non-omniscient) human form [[spoiler:as a way of making sure she will never forget her own folly during her conflict with Kcalb and risk starting another war]].

* GlassCannon: Macarona. Noted to be extremely tough, with an appropriately high Attack stat (particularly after [[spoiler:she hands Emalf's ass back to him]]) and [[ForMassiveDamage hard-hitting special attacks]], but her HP is laughably low compared to the other girls.

**True End: [[spoiler:Beating Ivlis in the final battle gives Kcalb enough time to retake his powers, ruining Ivlis' plan. The girls and Kcalb are nearly overpowered as Emalf, Poemi, and Rieta appear, but Etihw's timely arrival saves them. Deciding to make a hasty retreat, Ivlis manages to push Kcalb off the cliff before disappearing, and Yosafire rescues him. After a speech about his past misdeeds, Kcalb laments that dying would have been better, but Yosafire restores his will to live by declaring that the past doesn't matter. On their way back their own world, Ivlis and co. are ambushed by The Passing Demon — revealed to be Reficul, the Devil of another world — who dishes out a well-deserved ass-kicking. Some time later, life returns to normal in the Gray Garden, and the final scene shows the girls going off to gather more apples, while Kcalb and Etihw stand together in their garden. ]]
