The premise is pretty easy to get. Basically it's like:

You kissed too many dudes in life
Now you're locked in a closet with gross Kuroi
The only way to get out is to kiss Kuroi
Like with some deep tongue action
Seriously if you don't mean it when you kiss him
I'll let you starve to death with himThus 

thjs sounds like a great premise. I'm in

The basic premise in the movies is (I’ll spoiler tag it for anyone who doesn’t want it spoiled but then again why are you playing this when there may be spoilers? Plus the first few films are like 15 years old by now but still...)

Also, I’m trying to remember a series of like seven or eight films that I haven’t seen in a long time. So specific details will be scarce. This is just the main gist. 

SPOILER: Click to show

The “Jigsaw Killer” doesn’t actually kill or mutilate his victims himself. He’s a cancer sufferer who got a second chance at life, and he’s taken it upon himself to punish people who, in his eyes, are wasting their lives after their own second chances, taking their lives for granted. People like drug addicts who have a brush with death but fail to change their ways, stuff like that.

He kidnaps them and puts them into situations where they *may* die or seriously harm themselves or others, but the consequences are generally as a result of their own actions (ignoring the fact that he put them there in the first place but hey...) - but he always builds a “true” solution into his puzzles, one which would let everyone escape unscathed (or minority scathed. Still majorly traumatised though. Remember, he’s basically trying to scare people straight.)

Of course, nobody in the movies ever takes the “true” way out, they always end up cutting off their foot or stabbing someone to get a key out of their spleen but the true solution is generally visible to the audience. In the very first movie one of the characters cuts off his foot, and at the end you find out that the puzzle went wrong and there was a key to his shackles that accidentally got sucked down the drain of a bathtub, and the whole affair could have gone a whole lot smoother.

in one of the later movies he gets an “apprentice” in preparation for his impending death. She is supposed to carry on his work, but her traps are genuinely unsolvable, intended from the start to kill or maim.

So yeah... there you go. A basic and mis-remembered summary of possibly the most major plot point, that Jigsaw doesn’t kill for the sake of it, and technically he doesn’t even kill people himself at all - he puts them in situations where one of the most immediately obvious - but *incorrect* ways out - is causing major physical trauma to oneself.

I’m very interested to see how this idea might be incorporated into the game, if that’s the route Ryan is taking.

Steele basically has the series covered except for one aspect with the sequels...

{MAJOR Spoiler}
In order to turn out a sequel every year, they fell into the habit of making all the heroes turn into Jigsaw accomplices regardless of common sense, for twist endings...

[MYŌJIN]

Actually now thinking about it, I think i may have to drop out of this Mafia. I have finals next week and I'm not sure if I have enough time to concentrate on both Mafia and that.

[mosler]

Finals? Where are your priorities?
