History VideoGame / LoveAndPies

* MaliciousMisnaming: Edwina deliberately calls Amelia "Anya" or "Annie" to try convincing her to give up the "dump" that is her café.

* BigEntrance: Upon finding out that Joe quit his job at her café to work at Amelia's, Edwina storms into the café with her face lit by evil green light and [[DramaticThunder lightning striking behind her.]]

** [[spoiler:On Day 26, Sebastian tells Amelia that he is her father. Amelia is a bit skeptical of this at first because of his age; he is also Edwina's father, making him old enough to be Amelia's grandfather. Sebastian says that her mother didn't care about the age difference. Esme is disgusted, calling him a creep and a slimeball.]]

** [[spoiler:Sebastian had always wanted to tell Amelia since the day she returned to Appleton that he is her father, but he got worried about her mother when she went missing on the night of the arson.]]

* ManlyGay: Sven is a TopHeavyGuy who partakes in woodwork, a traditionally masculine hobby, and is HappilyMarried to Angus.

* CannotSpitItOut: After discovering that [[spoiler:her mother]] is The Purple Fox, Amelia tries keeping it a secret from her friends. Joe is most concerned by her and he tries assuring her that she can tell him anything and that he won't judge TPF for whatever reason for their crimes, but she still refuses to tell him.

** Amelia herself knows that her mother is alive because the latter called her a week after she ran away, but she doesn't know who her dad is. All she knows is that Freya never told her about him because people wouldn't be approving of their relationship, and that all that mattered to her was that she had Amelia.

* MiniatureSeniorCitizens: The elderly characters such as Betty and Esme are half as tall as the adults, only reaching up to their waists.

* VillainRespect: Sebastian, CorruptCorporateExecutive of [[MegaCorp Global Megacorp]], praises Amelia for doing well in the business competition between her mother's and his daughter's cafés. He also offers to help Amelia because he cares about her mom, no matter his job title or if Edwina acts callous towards Amelia. She still doesn't trust him, but he tells her to believe him when he says that he's on her and Freya's side.

* PerverseSexualLust: Amelia and Yuka both have a huge crush on Miguel, the eponymous protagonist of ''[[ShowWithinAShow The Mysteries of Miguel]]'' to the point that Yuka requests a cardboard cutout of him for her special order. She then thinks of taking it home with her, but Amelia suggests putting it on display at the café. Amelia herself also used to imagine that Miguel was her father until she developed a crush on him, and [[ParentalIncest she doesn't want to imagine that anymore.]]

* FanDisservice: Amelia is disgusted at the thought of Joe once dating Edwina, the latter who's around her mother's age. She {{imagine|Spot}}s them [[BeachKiss kissing on the beach]] in their swimwear, but can't get the mental image of Edwina in a two-piece swimsuit out of her head.

* InfiniteStockForSale: {{Averted|Trope}}. The marketplace sells six different items at a quantity of five each, all which are bought with [[PremiumCurrency gems.]] The market [[PlayEveryDay refreshes every day]], but you can refresh it instantly with gems or by [[AdReward watching an ad.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Sam may be the manipulative brother of Joe, but he wouldn't hurt anyone physically. [[spoiler:It turns out that he was blackmailed into impersonating him to try seducing Amelia away from Joe.]]

* BaitAndSwitchSilhouette: After Esme tells Amelia the story of the Pie Ghost, she sees a silhouette peering into the romantic date room muttering "pies, pies, pies..." just like them, but it turns out to be Edwina.

* DirtyOldWoman: Esme is too "interested" in Amelia and Joe's first date and assumes that the birds and the bees happened between them. Amelia reprimands her for wanting the dirty details [[NotInFrontOfTheKid right in front of Kate]], when the date itself was actually innocent. When Joe tells Esme that he wore nothing to the date, she immediately assumes that he and Amelia had "the birds and bees" going on when Joe meant that he wore "nothing ''important''", meaning that he didn't dress fancy for the date.

** Joe went on a date with Edwina, who is the same age as Amelia's mother. Amelia and Joe were in high school together. After Joe quit his job at Clean Bean Café, his twin brother and replacement, Sam, started dating Edwina.

** Joe went on a date with Edwina, who is the same age as Amelia's mother. Amelia and Joe were in high school together.

* SiblingTriangle: Amelia falls in love with her ChildhoodFriend Joe after she divorced her husband. They rekindle their lost relationship over the course of the game, but [[spoiler:Joe's twin brother Sam pretends to be him to try seducing her while the real Joe is at the two-day baker's retreat. Sam still tries pursuing her after he's exposed because he fell in love with her for real, but she's having none of it.]]

** The anonymous caller who claims to be Amelia's frenemy and was the one who sabotaged Esme's van refuses to reveal their identity because it would be "a lot less fun". Yuka at least knows that they're from Global Megacorp because the threat letter they sent to Eve was made of high-quality paper, had "beautiful" ink on it, and had the company's logo ripped from its top.

** After Amelia's friends leave the romantic date room, she and Joe remark that it's been a while since the last time they've been alone together, even if there are customers in the room.

* TheBigDamnKiss: After returning from the baker's retreat [[spoiler:and shooing out his twin brother Sam for [[TwinSwitch deceiving Amelia into thinking it was him]], Joe asks Amelia out for their first date since high school. She says yes, and they finally kiss without getting interrupted. Unlike the other cutaways, the scene is partially animated with a flashy fade-in and a pink heart background as they move in for the kiss.]]
