Back Home

**Loss of Control** (stylized as **Loss of control**) is the fifth chapter of There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension.

The thumbnail of the chapter contains text just containing "Blah" (in reference to the credits), a full bucket, a white cat, snow caused by Tim Elfman's name, and one of GiGi's song cards. There is also a fish, but it looks different from the fish that appears in the chapter.

## Plot

At the start of the chapter, an epilog is played, leading the player to believe that the user and Game got back home. However, the user and Game are actually transported into the end credits of another game where Mr. Glitch is seen, trapped. The user must insert names into slots such as "FX", "Characters", etc. to modify the credits scene in order to find and free Mr. Glitch. Once Mr. Glitch is released, he betrays Game by putting him under "Music", forcing him to sing, and blocks the slot. The user must insert previously found names into the "Game Design" slot to access minigames which will help get access to the "Music" slot (though Mr. Glitch blocks it again with something sturdier). After finding a "GG" name, inserting it into the game design slot releases GiGi (abbreviation for Global Gameplay). Mr. Glitch puts GG into the music slot, then breaks the slot, which disallows Game or the User to remove GiGi's name from the slot. This causes her to also sing a song, which holds a code that the User must use. After successfully inputting the code, GiGi is no longer forced to sing, and her, the user, and Game go through another portal in attempt to stop Mr. Glitch. This leads to the next chapter, Back Home.

## Trivia

* The title "Loss of Control" can both refer to the User's own inability to control the game (since there's only credits and no game to play) and the singing Game and GiGi are forced into.
* This chapter's opening is meant to trick the player into thinking these are the credits for the actual game.

### Cultural References

* Some of the special thanks credits parody real world people.
	+ Buster Chaplin is a reference to Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin, two silent film actors.
	+ Tim Elfman is a reference to *Tim Burton* and *Danny Elfman*, who often collaborate on serial gothic and sci-fi films.
* When reeling out the Fish from the wall, Game complains the nonsensical solution saying "we must be in a Rusty Lake game". Rusty Lake are the developers of the escape-room puzzle series *Cube Escape* and more. They are well known for making puzzles that don't make much logical sence.
* Some of game's rap verses reference things.
	+ The line "wicky-wicky-wild, wild quest" is a reference to Will Smith's Wild Wild West rap.
	+ The line "like Hoggle did during the Bowie King days" is a reference to the character of the same name from the film *Labyrinth*.
* My Actual Code, in both music and visuals, is similar to the intros from James Bond films, particularly *Skyfall*.
