* UnlockableContent: The second page of Hosts and Tempos are all characters that can be unlocked by doing special things, such as Word, a tempo that can be unlocked by doing a certain thing after the final battle. [[spoiler:That certain thing is driving off the broken path as Hellion and touching the blue button.]]

* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: By default, each Host has their own color:

** The Invader is green.
** The Prophet is cyan.
** The Witness is red.
** The Artisan is yellow-orange.
** The Vestige is purple.
** The Visitor is dark blue.
** The Subject is magenta.
** The Parting is bright teal.

* JokeItem: In contrast to the various other powerful time manipulation abilities, the Page tempo, when activated, [[PressXToDie instantly kills the player]]. That's all it does.

** The Parting takes it even further. He has a combo meter that's built by landing attacks, which can be consumed to increase the power of his finishers. It decays over time, and resets entirely whenever he takes damage. Relentless attacking is, therefore, necessary to reach his full potential.

** The Parting takes it even further. He has a combo meter that's built by landing attacks, which can be consumed to increase the power of his finishers. It decays over time, and resets entirely whenever he takes damage. Taken together, it's clear that the Parting has to attack nonstop to retain his effectiveness.

''HOURS'' is a ''VideoGame/{{Roblox}}'' game that is mainly about [[TimeMaster messing with time]], and other such things. It was made by ''Roblox'' user superrun100 in 2020, June 10th. You choose a "Host" AKA a player character and a "Tempo", a time related ability. Each Host has a different set of abilities, and all have widely different play styles. Tempos also influence this, some being made for specific play styles. The game encourages you to play as the different characters, as some things are locked behind beating levels or challenges as a certain character. The game, according to the description, is a hack-and-slash-kinda-rogue-lite-go-crazy kind of game. The game has unusual lore for a ''Roblox'' game, concerning many hidden names. It is mainly known for how it has interesting time related abilities though instead of the story. You can play it [[https://www.roblox.com/games/5732973455/HOURS here]], but you'll need a ''Roblox'' account first.

** The Hellion boasts the lowest health in the game, [[FragileSpeedster relying on their myriad of evasive skills]] to avoid death. While their paintball gun boasts a strong damage output on its own, their [[{{CarFu}} car]] can easily gouge large chunks out of any enemy's health should they get caught in its path.

* PotionBrewingMechanic: All but one of the Subject's moves are dedicated to this, making for a semi-complex potion brewing system that can test the player's ability to memorize and plan in real-time. [[CheeseStrategy Well, you can also just spam Lightning Potions with Storm Dangleroot]].

* SelfDamagingAttackBackfire: As a Hellion, [[SchmuckBait don't try to use your car on a Visitor with the Hurting Me upgrade]].

* SymbolFace: The main playable characters all have symbols on their faces. The Invader has as a symbol which resembles M, the Prophet has a symbol that resembles a pair of I, and so on and so forth. Few Hosts have anything that passes for a face. While some symbols can be explained, such the Vestige's, who's symbol represents a headset and an eye (possibly related to how he's a sniper and may [[spoiler:have had people to communicate to, before he was banished from the Guilty)]], most can't.

** [[spoiler:One of the Hosts, the Witness may be this based off of his scrapped description, calling him "Memories from the Beginning of the Realm", imping that he is as old as the world.]]

** The second boss,''Bloxxerman''''s title of "Builder of the Realm", implies that he existed even before the realm of ''HOURS'' even existed.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: Various enemies use odd items as weapons, such as a horse head with pink glowing eyes capable of shooting balls of energy at you. One of player characters, the Witness engages in this to, possessing a banjo that he smacks people with.

* AmbiguousSituation: The whole game. You don't know what's happening, you're just playing as a character with control over time killing personifications of Roblox items. Is this a trial? Maybe. A loop? Perhaps. Are you breaking out of a loop? I dunno. All you know for real is that you are in a level, and that you will be killing enemies.
