As the name implies, Awe's game of Mafia is ''TabletopGame/Werewolf1986'' writ large -- certain players are the "killers", and must murder one of the "innocents" each night, while in the day, the innocents must vote to eliminate whoever they believe to be a killer. There are also various roles that give people abilities to help them out.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Very narrowly averted in the second game. Robin&, due to their results as the Investigator, begins pushing to have Nagibaldi executed. Despite dropping some pretty blatant hints, Cutbug doesn't quite understand where they're getting this information and starts suspecting them as a result -- but eventually Robin just straight-up spells it out for them.
* PrecisionFStrike: Robin isn't normally one for profanity, but [[spoiler:being briefly given a TorsoWithAView after trying to attack TM Awe]] is enough to get him to drop a "mother ''fucker'', that hurts". Immediately {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by Vivi pointing out that that's language she doesn't expect from him.

!! ''A Game of Mafia'' contains examples of:
* AmusementParkOfDoom: The setting of the second game is an amusement park with rides such as a RussianRoulette ferris wheel and a waterslide of death. Riding them results in the rider respawning if they die; however, Percival found out that it only works if you die because of the ride itself.
* ChekhovsGun: Early in the second game, [[VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiIIINocturne the Demi-fiend]] [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16016880180A60659300&page=120#comment-2989 takes a cheap shot]] at TM Awe with an agility-reducing debuff skill, which goes entirely unnoticed and unmentioned by the other characters. Much, much later, [[spoiler: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16016880180A60659300&page=235#5857 during the climax]], the agility reduction results in him [[NotSoInvincibleAfterAll taking visible damage for the first time in the entire series]]]].
* ClosedCircle: In each game, TM Awe traps the players in a pocket dimension with no exits, forcing them to play his game if they want to leave.
* CurseCutShort: In the second game, after [[spoiler:the Spy spitefully activates his Tripler to hammer himself]], Vivi drops a disbelieving "mother fu--".
* EyeScream: [[spoiler:Dookie was killed in night 1 of the first game by being stabbed in the eye with a screwdriver.]]
* GetOut: [[spoiler:When the surviving players of the second game manage to draw blood from TM Awe for the first time in the series, he absolutely ''loses it'', declaring that the game is over and they've won (the scumteam was fully outed, so the innocents' victory was a ForegoneConclusion), and opening a portal and telling them to "get the fuck out".]]
* InvincibleVillain: Timeline Master Awe seems untouchable, because he can just rewind time and do things differently whenever he gets killed, and no matter how many tries it takes, the other characters have no memory of their failed attacks. [[spoiler:However, if he is hurt non-lethally, there's nothing he can do about it.]]
* LoopholeAbuse: TM Awe's entire plan--fictional beings within the Ideaverse feed on ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve, including being remembered. But the rule doesn't discriminate between memories, including traumatic memories--something which a game about paranoia and murder is bound to cause.
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: [[spoiler:After taking visible damage for the first time in the entire series towards the end of the second game, TM Awe absolutely ''loses it'', opening up a portal and ending the game then and there.]]
* MiscarriageOfJustice: Exploited against Stew in the first game, when one of the killers plants evidence to get him lynched... then subverted as Stew brings logic to the table and [[ClearMyName explains why he was framed...]] only for the finger to then be pointed at Reshiram.
* NeckSnap: On night 3 of the first game, [[spoiler:Amy Nara killed Vivi by breaking into the bathroom she was holed up in and snapping her neck.]]
* NonGameplayElimination: Inevitably, characters will on occasion leave the game for non-gameplay-related reasons:
** Reshiram left the first game during day 2 due to creative differences with its player.
** Around day 4 of the first game, Silver got eaten by a grue-ish creature named Steve due to inactivity.
** Kairi and Tyrone left during night 6 of the first game due to their players being unable to keep up with the game.
* PleaseWakeUp: This was revealed to be Ikei's response to [[spoiler:Pizzacatcher Cutbug]]'s death in the second game.
-->'''Ikei:''' Don't fucking tell me we killed them [[ClusterFBomb fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck]]--''Wake! Up! Wake! Up! Wake! Up!''
* PoorCommunicationKills: Very narrowly averted in the second game. Robin&, due to their results as the Investigator, begins pushing to have Nagibaldi executed.

Immediately {{lampshade|Hanging}}d by Vivi pointing out that that's language she doesn't expect from him.
* ResetButton: On day 1 of the second game, an incident with Cinderace on the verge of losing control to Gigantamax energy resulted in Timeline Master Awe rewinding the timeline just to avoid having to deal with it.
* SinisterGeometry: The second game contains a mysterious [[evil:'''''O R B''''']]. The nature of the thing is unknown, as it resists all attempts at investigation.
* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:After taking visible damage for the first time in the entire series, TM Awe freaks out at the sheer disbelief that, despite his [[AGodAmI designs on godhood]], he's still "some low piece of shit capable of bleeding".]]
* WoundedGazelleGambit: In the second game, [[spoiler:Nagibaldi, as the Agent, shot Hydroxyl with his tranquilizer dart, giving his scum partner towncred that was seemingly unshakable... until the very end.]]
