FAIL Screens

Seen in: Escaping the Prison, Stealing the Diamond, Infiltrating the Airship, Fleeing the Complex, Breaking the Bank Remake, Completing the Mission

"Watching you make choices is such a trainwreck."
— Just one of the many FAILs you can earn.note 

Not an actual character, but the blurb that shows up whenever you pick the wrong choice and fail. And it's usually either a snarky comment or reference to some other work.
  • Comically Missing the Point: Every so often, the blurb will (for humor's sake) miss the point of what just happened. For example, in Infiltrating the Airship, after one FAIL sees Charles crashing his helicopter into the airship:
    FAIL Screen: Hey, look! Charles is here!
  • Deadpan Snarker: For something as simple as a blurb that tells you of your failure, it can sure be sardonic at your untimely demise.
  • Everyone Has Standards: There are some times where even it doesn't have anything quirky to say.
    • In Infiltrate the Airship during the Pure Blooded Thief route, it says nothing should you choose the Dark Energy Bomb. Apparently even it knows better than to mock a tragic death scene.
    • In Completing the Mission, every time you choose the Fortnite dance-off, it will keep telling you no. The fourth and last time just has it scream at you to stop.
  • Flat "What": There are times that even it will be stumped at Henry's choices, for example choosing the cheese in Diamond and the Distract option in Complex.
  • Giving Up on Logic: After several improbable FAILs, in Fleeing the Complex on the The Betrayed route, it gives up trying explain how a small magnet causes the entire Toppat Clan airship to crash into the Complex, saying "Alright I can't BS my way through this one".
  • Have a Nice Death: It has something to say for just about every FAIL.
  • Lampshade Hanging: Often, the FAIL screens will either point out the obvious flaw in your logic, or flat-out ask you what on earth you were hoping to achieve with your choice.
  • Nerves of Steel: Regardless of the Body Horror and/or Cruel and Unusual Deaths that the various FAILs entail, the FAIL screen isn't frightened in the slightest.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: The Dark Energy Bomb FAIL on the Pure Blooded Thief route of Airship causes it to say absolutely nothing. No snarky remarks, just letting the tragedy of the scene sink in.
  • Pun: Very fond of making these. Sometimes their puns are so bad that even it thinks that they're lame, with special mention goes to the Hurricane of Puns from the Needle option from Completing the Mission's Capital Gains route.
    FAIL Screen: What was the POINT of that?
    ...Not the SHARPEST idea.
    Gonna PIN the blame on that you for one.
    Did you really NEEDLE that money?
    Okay that one was a stretch
  • Sarcasm Failure: Sometimes it just doesn't know what to say about some of the things that happen as a result of your choices.
  • Troll: Some of the FAILs are just dripping with sarcasm, such as in Airship, when Henry gets crushed by a massive coal.
    FAIL Screen: Whoa! That thing is COAL-ossal! Massive :D face.
  • What Were You Thinking?: Some FAIL screens will question exactly what you were hoping to achieve with your last choice.
  • You Are Fat: Several FAIL screens call Henry "Fatty" or "Fatso" due to his weight causing him to fall.

Opacitator review
Liquidificator review
Transdimensionalizer review
Shadozer review
Infini³ review
Leafmöde review
SuccPak review
Swapper review

An unseen person who reviews inventions that are sometimes used by Henry.


  • Alliterative Name: Gadget Gabe.
  • Awesome, but Impractical: All the inventions that he reviews.
  • Body Horror: The inventions he reviews usually cause some form of this, such as the Liquidificator, which causes Henry's body to turn into plain water.
  • Everyone Has Standards: Even he thinks that the Shadozer isn't that great of a gadget, if this quote is anything to go by. And considering that selecting it leads to a fail...
    "I'ma be honest with you, this one isn't that great..."
  • Exact Words: All of his gadgets that Henry uses throughout the games work exactly as advertised... just never the way that Henry needs them to work. Until some do work in Mission.
  • The Ghost: Always mentioned, never seen.
  • Informed Ability: Played for Laughs and Zig-Zagged. He's seemingly a trusted source on approving the different gadgets that Henry uses and, granted, they do work. However, they are often highly impractical because they work too well, which makes one question if Gabe has even tried them himself.
  • Intangibility: The Opacitator promises the user the ability to walk through walls. When Henry uses it, he falls through the floor to the center of the Earth.
  • Rubber Man: The Liquidificator promises the ability to bend one's molecules around an object. When Henry uses it, he melts.
