History VideoGame / UrbanoLegendsDebut

* DropTheHammer: Half-Dead's ImagineSpot of fighting Honor has her carrying a two-handed warhammer.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Vailo is rude, antisocial and slightly selfish … however he also has a kind caring side, showing concern to Honor when she reveals that she’s being bullied by the other entities during one of her hangout events, [[spoiler: and him being willing to form a genuine friendship with Lofi despite knowing she’s the creepy fashionista, and trying to get her to stop fighting him so he doesn’t have to kill her showing that if an urban legend is too far gone he will try to save them, his motivation for hunting urban legends is also genuinely heroic as well.]]

** [[spoiler:Lofi calls him out for targeting her father as an easy kill to make the news]].

* CannotTellALie: Honor is a AnthropomorphicPersonification and unable to lie, though she admits she is capable of hiding things.

* LivingLieDetector: Honor is a AnthropomorphicPersonification and can tell when someone is lying from shifts in their honor.

* EvilIsPetty: Pride shakes down Lofi just for staring at him and he's appalled when Vailo tries handing over his money... only to take it anyways.
-->'''Vailo:''' Okay, okay, got it. How much do you want to let us go?
-->'''Pride:''' What do you think I am, a filthy pickpocket? I am an Entity and we reign all over Urbano. I already have more cash than every human in this district will ever have in their insignificant lives. This isn't about money. This is about pride. I came here for an important reunion and while all other humans kneeled before my presence, this pipsqueak was deadass staring at my face!
--> '''Pride:''' [[{{Beat}} ...]]
--> '''Pride:''' ...Just out of curiosity, how much ya got in that wallet?
--> '''Vailo:''' I should have a hundred or so.
--> '''Pride:''' Humph, gimme that. I'm late for the reunion, so that should do for now. Now shoo! Get lost! If I see you again, y'all gonna get barbecued!

* ExhaustedEyebags: Vailo has constant eyebags from roaming the night as Retaliator and being glued to a computer monitor when he wakes up for news and Urban Legend sightings. The start of the day for him when he leaves the house is 15:00.

** Retaliator is on stakeout during Night 1 until he gets distracted by cat pictures [[spoiler:that Lofi sent to Vailo's phone number to give her time to swap out the mannequins, some foreshadowing that she knows his SecretIdentity]]. For extra foreshadowing, [[spoiler: Honor unintentionally does the same thing the day after where she sends Retaliator a message through Vailo's number]].

* AntagonistTitle: [[spoiler:Vailo reveals he's after Urbano, the one offering contracts to people who turn into Urban Legends]].

** Honor questions the practical use of the glowing mask, the weapon choice of a belt, and his decision to wear perfume during the investigation which leads her to dismiss it as Retaliator doing it for the attention.

** Retaliator is on stakeout during Night 1 until he gets distracted by cat pictures [[spoiler:that Lofi sent to give her time to swap out the mannequins. That she sent it to his civilian phone is some extra foreshadowing that she knows his SecretIdentity]].

* ShoutOut: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHHLJcqYr2s A dev short]] reveals what Vailo and Queen Nightcore's dance moves are based off of:
** Down-left and down-right is [[Music/{{Vocaloid}} Hatsune Miku's]] "[=PoPiPo=]" dance.
** Up and down is ''Manga/LuckyStar'''s anime opening.
** Up-left and up-right is the JustForFun/CaramelldansenVid dance.
** Left and right is the background dancing cat in "Fukkireta".

* CurbStompBattle: Honor defeats Half-Dead with a simple FingerPokeOfDoom which understandably leads to Retaliator agreeing to work for her instead of trying to face her.
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Urban Legends are made after Urbano offers a contract of power. Vailo calls it worse than a contract with the devil and says the price is above what any person can pay]].

* EvilIsPetty: Pride shakes down Lofi for staring at him and is appalled when Vailo tries handing over his money... only to take it anyways.

* EvilOverlooker: James is overlooking the rest of the cast in the key art and while his morality is yet to be revealed, he's a jerk who loathes Retaliator and [[spoiler:for better or worse, did his part in making sure Honor wouldn't join the fight against the Creepy Fashionista]].

** Vailo is on stakeout during Night 1 until he gets distracted by cat pictures [[spoiler:that Lofi sent to give her time to swap out the mannequins. She also sent it to his civilian phone, some extra foreshadowing that she knows his SecretIdentity]].
** Whenever Vailo buys belt parts from Kitties' Kit, [[spoiler:Lofi will ask if he wants to equip it before cutting herself off and ask if he wants to wear it. It initially looks like some LampshadeHanging of UrbanFantasy [=RPG=] equipment, but it's another hint she knows that he's Retaliator]].
** The investigation leads to the deduction that [[spoiler:there's a hidden entrance in Kitties' Kit]] which [[spoiler:would put Lofi has a suspect seeing as she works there, and she admits during the sleepover that she normally sleeps at the store on days she misses the last bus home]].

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Vailo thinks Queen Nightcore is pulling some sort of scam by calling him the Dancing ChosenOne, but she offers to pay him to dance with her so he accepts the gig.

* TakingTheBullet: Honor shields Retaliator from Creepy Fashionista's sneak attack and is unfazed after commenting that man-made weapons can't hurt her.

* VillainRespect: Half-Dead is excited to face off against Honor because he sees her as a fellow enforcer of disipline. She calls him an unrefined clown after [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping]] him.

* StoryBranching: The game advertises story changes and possible deaths depending on RelationshipValues. For the Creepy Fashionista arc, [[spoiler:whether Vailo became friends with Lofi is the difference between her no longer wanting to fight or [[TakingYouWithMe trying to take out Vailo with her]]]].

* YouKilledMyFather: [[spoiler: Lofi wants to kill Vailo since Half-Dead was her father before he became an Urban Legend and Vailo just treated him as an easy kill for attention. Depending on her RelationshipValues, she'll either lose the will to continue fighting him or attempt a TakingYouWithMe]].

-->'''Vailo:''' Okay, Okay, got it. How much do you want to let us go?

* FightWoosh: {{Inverted|Trope}}. As Retaliator ends the fight and delivers the finishing beatdown, the screen starts cracking until it completely shatters

* ThereIsOnlyOneBed: Vailo refuses to give up his bed when Lofi crashes his place in the middle of the night. This prompts Lofi to tease him about sleeping in the same bed which has Vailo immediately laying down on the newspaper he set up to her shock.

The game is set on the titular [[CityPlanet ecumenopolis]] of Urbano, where immortal entities rule over the mortal citizens. Valio, the player character, has just moved to the Karma District in hopes of tracking down new urban legends. However, Valio finds himself stopped by Honor, an entity taking the form of a young woman who forbids him from hunting any more urban legends… unless it’s under her supervision.

* CoolMask: Valio wears a black mask with neon eyes in the trailer and demo.
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: Of a sort - in the demo, Valio’s alter-ego, Retaliator, is described as an Urban Legend that hunts other Urban Legends.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The demo opens with Valio facing off against Half-Dead, a zombie who haunts places of leisure and yells at people to get back to work for the district’s prosperity.
* ShoutOut: In the trailer, Valio and another character are seen performing the Caramelldansen dance in a rhythm segment.
