!!Tropes present throughout the series include:

!!Tropes present in Mystery of Venice:
* {{Backstory}}: Redemption was formed after a plague struck Venice in 1104. The Doge lost his son and then blamed the rich for their sins and debauchery for causing the strife. The group then started to kidnap people who they felt personified the seven sins in order to kill off the plague. When the Doge died, a new plague came about and the commoners rebelled against the rulers of Venice and Redemption died out.

* DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Both The Masked Man and Amadeo gets this. The Masked Man trips and falls into a well and Amadeo is knocked back and thrown through a stained glass window, where either the fall kills him or the sacrificial pyre that comes after him.]]

* GuideDangIt: Many times you have to refer to the Diary in the lower left hand corner to get pertinent information on the plot at hand. Some puzzles, including the Library Door and Statue Code puzzles require you to have something with the code written on it before you can even attempt it, but others, such as the [[CommediaDellArte Commedia dell'Arte]] puzzle, don't have such a code and if you don't know the solution is available in the Diary then you better find the solution by memory or by trial and error. Also, it's hard to make the connection [[spoiler:of the Chief of Police being Amadeo and the leader of Redemption without looking up the page describing him]].
