Linear RPG

Why does his mother even know that?

Linear RPG is an Adobe Flash game by Sophie Houlden that reduces linear "role-playing" games to their simplest components.

It can be played here.

Tropes used in Linear RPG include:

• All Just a Dream -- A wet dream to be precise...
• Big Bad -- the Alphabetti Spaghetti
• The Chosen One -- Kliche
• Contemplate Our Navels -- One example: "Kliche considers the fact that destiny and fate are really the same thing, but perhaps the old man was referring to a deeper truth in the causality of the universe and the phenomena that make up his life..."
• Cool Horse -- The pegacorn, so cool that Chuck Norris has like eight of them.
• Doomed Hometown
• Emergency Transformation -- The pegacorn transforms into Bruce Lee mode.
• Excuse Plot -- You don't even have to read the plot to complete the game.
• Good Morning, Crono -- As seen in the page image.
• Level Grinding: ... No, seriously.
• Meaningful Name -- Lots
• No Ending
• One-Winged Angel -- the later forms of the Alphabetti Spaghetti
