History VideoGame / MicaApoptosis

* TooDumbToLive: You can have Lenine be this by looking out of the balcony and when the game asks you if [[WhatAnIdiot you'd like to jump out, select yes]].

* PsychoticLoveTriangle: [[spoiler:Dynasty]] is arguably in a YandereLoveTriangle with [[spoiler:Mika]] and [[spoiler:Tamora]]. Chances are, however, that he doesn't know the former is a {{Yandere}}, but he surely knows the latter is one. [[spoiler:He was so terrified of Tamora that he fled his country to escape her, but not before she poisoned him. When he survived the poisoning thanks to Mika's healing, Tamora arrived looking for him. Mika managed to out-Yandere her by snapping her neck and ripping her into pieces using her psychokinesis.]]

%%* {{Yandere}}: Both [[spoiler:Mika]] and [[spoiler:Tamora]] are arguably one for [[spoiler:Dynasty]].

On December 18, 2017 the game's creator announced that [[https://mica-project.tumblr.com/post/168668333660/hi-all they had lost]] ALL the work that had been done on the series so far due to a catastrophic hardware failure, including almost complete versions of chapters 4 and 5, which have never been released. The game was never cancelled outright, but that unfortunate incident, combined with the author's silence on all of their projects since 2018, does not bode well for Mica's future.

* ActualPacifist: Mika and Micaiah. Deconstructed.

** Two members of the palace staff - namely, Kanon and Shannon - invoke either this trope or the WholesomeCrossdresser one: if Lenine checks their rooms, he discovers wardrobes filled with "both male and female clothes". Lenine's only reaction is "..." [[spoiler: That may actually be yet another reference to their subplot in ''UminekoWhenTheyCry''.]]
* TheAntichrist: The "Messiah" can be seen as such.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Tamora]] in Chapter 3.

** As of Chapter 3, [[spoiler:Mika is one. While you can arguably justify her past actions through self-defence, she clearly continued to ruthlessly tear her enemy apart even when she no longer poses a threat. With that in mind, if 'divine punishment' hadn't been forced upon her, you'd think Tamora won't be the last of her victims.]]
*** [[spoiler: One must take into account that Tamora was STRANGLING Mika, so it is not completely unreasonable for the poor girl to lose control of herself while fighting back. In fact, Mika was absolutely terrified of what she'd done once she regained her senses. It doesn't change the fact that she killed someone, but this is anything but a case of cold-blooded murder.]]
* BerserkButton: Micaiah does not appreciate you killing off her servants.

* DarkFantasy
* DarkMessiah: [[spoiler:Anyu]].

* KillingInSelfDefense: In Chapter 3, [[spoiler:Mika responds to Tamora hitting her by brutally ripping her apart in anger. While she tries to justify it to herself later, it is clear that the force she used was way more than excessive, and she was essentially a murderer.]]
** [[spoiler:She might have used excessive force, but one must take into account that Tamora was STRANGLING Mika, not merely "hitting her". Tamora made an attempt on Mika's life, who lost control of herself and was absolutely terrified of what she'd done once she regained her senses. It doesn't change the fact that Mika killed someone, but this is anything but a case of cold-blooded murder.]]
* LadyAndKnight: Micaiah and Lenine have this dynamic.
* LegionsOfHell: The "Things".

* MessianicArchetype: The Messiah is a dark variant.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: Princess Micaiah.

* ShoutOut: Two of the castle's servants are named [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Kanon and Shannon]]. They also happen to look just like their [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Umineko]] counterparts.

* {{Yandere}}: Both [[spoiler:Mika]] and [[spoiler:Tamora]] are arguably one for [[spoiler:Dynasty]].

* MysticalWhiteHair: The Goddess (or at least her portrayal in the Scripture) has silvery RapunzelHair.

* RapunzelHair: Micaiah's hair reaches her ankles.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: A few characters have implausible hair colors - such as Micaiah with her pale-purple hair, Lenine with his green hair, and Rainer with blue hair.

One is [[RoseHairedGirl Princess Micaiah]], a pretty young girl who lives with her servants in a castle disconnected from the horrifying outside world, sheltered from her past which comes back to haunt her. Then there's [[LadyAndKnight her right-hand man Lenine]], a young man quiet about his past. And finally, there is [[BreakTheCutie Mika]], a broken girl with [[MindOverMatter psychic powers]] who escapes her confinement one day, only to run into a strange-looking castle for solace...

* CreepyCoolCrosses: The cross imagery is everywhere, and both Micaiah and Lenine wear golden crosses as tie pins.

* EqualOpportunityEvil: The Church may be evil, but there a lot of women among their high-ranking priests, and their own holy scripture itself embraces the concept of gender neutral pronouns.

* InnocentBlueEyes: Micaiah has large baby-blue eyes and seems like TheIngenue. [[spoiler:But this may not be the case...]]

* EqualOpportinityEvil: The Church may be evil, but its priests are both male and female, and even their own holy scripture embraces the concept of gender neutral pronouns.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: A few characters have implausible hair colors - such as Micaiah with her pale-purple hair, Lenine with his green hair, and Rainer with blue hair.

* JapanesePronouns: The Cardinal uses the suffix "-chan" on Mika to mock her by calling her the way her mother used to.

* ActualPacifist: Mika and Micaiah. Deconstructed brutally.
