History VideoGame / CouncilrysRPG

** Most of [=IRyS=]'s skills are named after songs she's made -- with a few having some wordplay, and one being a karaoke song she sung before. These include [[{{Pun}} Heal (Here)]] Comes Hope!, BERSERKER, Rise Again, Caesura Of Despair, One Sleep at a Time, and [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers "Gas Gas Gas".]]

* ChekhovsGun: The mirror room at the beginning hosts up to six mirrors, with one remaining after the other five gets destroyed upon the clones spawning in. Later, Kronii gets the idea of weaponizing the last mirror against her clone to avoid being petrified, with it being required to use to avoid Cursed Kronii's ChargedAttack. [[spoiler:While Sana might've gotten trapped in the void dimension because of the EN Curse, she found her way back courtesy of that same mirror portal-ing her back.]]

The story focuses on [=CouncilRyS=] joining together for a council meeting at Fauna's cottage, which in turn leads to them trying to find answers to the dreaded [[CerebusRetcon EN Curse]]. This search leads to them opening a doorway to a cave with a group of {{Magic Mirror}}s, which soon after spawns [[EvilDoppelganger a group of villainous clones based on them]], who in turn throw the whole world being thrown into disarray upon taking their place.

The story focuses on [=CouncilRyS=] joining together for a council meeting, leading to them to solve the mystery of the dreaded [[CerebusRetcon EN Curse]], which appeared to be getting stronger with time. This search for answers leads to them opening a doorway to a cave of {{Magic Mirror}}s, which soon after results in the whole world being thrown into disarray upon the introduction of their [[EvilDoppelganger Cursed Clones]] taking their place.

*** The group of mirrors within the cave totals six, with each hosting an EvilDoppelganger of the group facing it. [[spoiler:Only one mirror remains after the clones come to be; the only doppelganger missing is of Sana.]] Furthermore, Fauna notes that the EN Curse afflicting the group was halted after the mirror incident. [[spoiler:Guess who didn't get that privilege, due to not having her own EvilDoppelganger?]]

* ChekhovsGunman: A hooded figure appears after [=CouncilRyS=] gets TakenForGranite following, with said hooded figure also appearing in the background of Fauna, Mumei, and Bae's camping session. [[spoiler:The figure is revealed to be Sana, who assists the group after they get sent into a spacial dimension courtesy of Kronii's clone.]]
* CerebusRetcon: The "EN Curse", typically a phenomena to describe any technical issues the holomems (typically EN) experience, is instead a phenomena that traps them in an empty mirror dimension devoid of color, light or inhabitants. Before the journey started, the curse seems to have split off into [[EvilDoppelganger Cursed Clones]] due to the {{Magic Mirror}}s. [[spoiler:Sana is the only one not cured of this ailment, as noted by Cursed Kronii, with it getting bad enough to trap Sana in the alternate dimension after Cursed Kronii's defeat.]]

** The game repeatedly hints at [[spoiler:Sana being involved in the plot, as well as the EN Curse afflicting her.]]

*** As Fauna, Mumei and Bae have their conversation at the campside, [[spoiler:the same hooded figure from the beginning is seen off to the right spectating them. Furthermore, one of the conversation pieces involves pondering about how Sana's doing.]]

* OminousVisualGlitch: Those affected by the "[[CerebusRetcon EN Curse]]" find themselves glitching out of reality in this manner, showcased with Fauna in the Prologue. InUniverse, it's treated as a serious scary issue at worse, and an annoyance at best. The same applies to the Cursed Clones upon defeating them [[spoiler:or when Cursed Kronii summons them again]], as it's implied they're a manifestation of the EN Curse given an alternate form.

* ThatCameOutWrong: Naturally from [=IRyS=], such as when looking at a magic mirror.

The story focuses on [=CouncilRyS=] banding together seeking to solve the mystery of the Dreaded [[CerebusRetcon EN Curse]], due to said curse getting stronger with time. This quest for answers leading to them discovering a cave of {{Magic Mirror}}s, which soon after results in the whole world being thrown into disarray after their {{Evil Doppelganger}}s start taking their place.

** Talking to a sapling in the bar has them admit to reading a lot of ''Brain Saw Man'', a riff on ''Manga/ChainsawMan''.

** One [=GuyRyS=] NPC spectating a break-dancing [=GuyRyS=] has them note that their heart-rate went up to at least 116, just like with IRyS during an "[[ToiletHumor Idol Meeting]]" the one time she left her heart-rate monitor on simultaneously.

** Before the battle against the FinalBoss, Fauna gets address as "Dragon Slayer Fauna", alluding to the group's ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' stream where they tried to fight the Ender Dragon together, with Fauna being the one to carry the group through the shenanigans and defeat the dragon herself. The same events get referenced in a NewGamePlus run [[spoiler:with Sana [[RememberWhenYouBlewUpASun recalling the events during a campfire scene.]]]]

* EleventhHourRanger: [[spoiler:Sana joins the party halfway through the final chapter of the game.]]

* {{Medusa}}: Cursed Kronii, being based on Kronii's Halloween costume that depicts her as such. And it isn't just a mere MythologyGag, as she uses the classic TakenForGranite ability on [=CouncilRyS=] at the beginning to incapacitate them for the takeover, with her also using it as a ChargedAttack in her BossFight that can only be countered by [[MirrorReflectsEverything using the remaining mirror.]]

* NunTooHoly: [=NunRyS=], while she's the TokenGoodTeammate clone who isn't directly antagonistic towards the original [=CouncilRyS=] until the battle with Cursed Bae, she still displays a HolierThanThou attitude in her first introduction, in addition to spending much of her time [[TheGamblingAddict gambling at the slot machines.]]

* PowerLimiter: [[spoiler:Sana's equipped with her Limiter, which reduces her stats when worn and can be removed to buff her. Downplayed in contrast to canon, as doing so only increases all her stats by one instead of making Sana "BEEG."]]

* SdrawkcabName: Of all the {{Evil Doppelganger}}s of [=CouncilRyS=], Fauna's clone is named in this manner, being Anuaf.
