So I'm apparently watching
a playthrough of the (a?) 3DS Shantae game. Player gets to this couple, one of which has been petrified by a dread pirate's curse. Does stuff, gets the ancient spell that did the deed. Brings it to the unpetrified half the lovelorn pair.
Dude promptly reads off the spell, petrifying him, too. You'd think that'd be enough -- united in unending stone-encased horror -- but no. The combined weight of the two crashes through the ground, sending the pair plummeting into the depths. You follow after, and all that's left is a pile of rubble at the bottom of the drop.
It's, like. Holy shit. Game, you've been fairly lighthearted so far, and now you just
brutally murdered two people. Not even haha comic silly "just kidding :V" murder, either.
Stone cold dead. Not even enemies! Sympathetic characters, one of which just wanted to save his lifelong love from a terrible curse.

Let me also say that that game has one of the sickest bass lines I've heard in
any game, which is just really gorram
weird to see in something made for a handheld. It's got some pretty damned pumping tunes.
