* TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything: Characters have comments on just about everything - the weather, the season, an upcoming festival, a festival that just passed (sometimes taking into account whether you won), and even your current amount of energy, with different comments for a player who's half-tired compared to one who's about to pass out. You'll eventually get repeats, of course, but there's a surprising amount of dialogue with a large number of triggers.

Added DiffLines:

* IntroDump: Barley gives you the "Village Primer" that contains notes on the basic personalities of all the villagers. For the first few weeks, characters' names will also appear above their heads when you speak to them, just to help you remember who's who.


Added DiffLines:

* VoiceGrunting: Everyone has a few clips of sound that will play when you speak to them. Most are fairly simple, "hello", "hey", or a sigh.

* CharacterCustomization: You can choose your gender and hairstyle (from four options). Once the game starts, you can also buy new clothes for yourself.



* CanonName: Your farmer and animals come with default names, though you can change them.

to:

* CanonName: Your farmer and animals come with default names, though you can change them. You can also rename your farm if you buy a wood carving kit to change the sign.
* ChainOfDeals: The secondhand trading game. Barley will start you off with an old novel, which he's sure ''someone'' in town will want. ItsUpToYou to figure out ''who'' wants the thing and to continue from there. Naturally, completing this will get you an achievement.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: When you play [=LockBall=], you and your opponent will change into red and blue uniforms, irrespective of what you were previously wearing. Naturally, this is to make things easier on the player.



* CriticalExistenceFailure: Sort of. While other characters will comment if your energy is low, your farmwork won't be affected until you actually run out and faint. Of course, given the nature of the game, it's less "existence failure" and more "end the day and wake up sick tomorrow".



* EffortlessAchievement: You get one for completing the opening scenes of the day, and another for talking to everyone in town. You also get another for just finishing your first spring season (and considering it's basically impossible to die in this game, you could wake up and go right back to sleep all month with no real ill effects other than that you're not actually making progress).

* EquipmentUpgrade: If you break enough rocks, the carpenter will agree to upgrade your pickax for you. You can also upgrade your watering can.
* EternalSexualFreedom: Despite being a very small, insular community with technology that resembles the rural 1950s, the town thinks absolutely nothing of homosexual marriage or of Cole and Amber living together despite being only dating; you, however, will have to wait until marriage to live with your sweetheart - and given that some of them will wax nostalgic about the perfection of your wedding night, you probably save anything beyond a kiss for marriage, too; it's entirely possible even Cole and Amber are [[InnocentCohabitation innocently cohabiting]] (even though ThereIsOnlyOneBed in their house).
* EventFlag: A natural way to keep track of the possible {{Scripted Event}}s you may be up for seeing.



* FishingMinigame: You line up your rod with a fish and then control how far you cast; the fish you catch depend on location and bait used.



* InformedEquipment: Rather than holding an item, it will simply appear in a speech bubble above your head. This cuts down on the amount of animation required.



* InsurmountableWaistHeightFence: Small plants can completely block your path in the woods or around the edge of town.



* InUniverseGameClock: Seems to run on the standard "one real second is one game minute" timeline. At 11:50PM, the game will ''insist'' that you go to bed and teleport you home, unable to leave until you sleep for the next day.



* ItIsAllUpToYou: The town has been deteriorating since the previous owner of your farm died. Since Feral Shades are InvisibleToNormals, it's up to you to convince them to return the land to its vibrant state, which means the entire town's livelihood is riding on whether or not you're a good farmer.

* JustifiedSavePoint: Like ''Harvest Moon'', you write in a diary.



* LevelUpFillUp: Eating an Eden Fruit refills your energy meter as well as adding to your total pool.



* NPCScheduling: In keeping with the simulation of a small town, every villager has their own schedule of places they will go when not working.



* PurelyAestheticGender: The only difference is if people will refer to you as "young man" or "young lady".



* RunDontWalk: Averted; you can hold shift to sprint, but that will consume your non-refilling energy rather than a separate SprintMeter.

With the exception of your dog's bowl, you can also choose to go with the Spartan aesthetic and have no decoration, even a bedspread. Decorative items have predetermined locations, however.

!!Tropes contained in ''World's Dawn''

* AerithAndBob: Character names range from the mundane (Cole, Ellie) to the unusual-but-not-unheard-of (Demetri, Bellatrix) to the downright odd (Paxel, Sparrow).
* {{Ahoge}}: Cole has one. He's not stupid, but he ''is'' a rather free-spirited artist.
* AllNaturalGemPolish: Averated; you can dig up stones with varying degrees of shininess, but they're not worth much until you cut them at the table outside the mine.
* BabiesEverAfter: After marriage, you can have a child.
* CanonName: Your farm and animals come with default names, though you can change them.
* DatingSim: One of the major components of the game, due to the popularity of that part of ''Franchise/HarvestMoon''. There are three men and three women available.
* EveryoneIsBi: One of the options, at least. At the start of the game, you're asked if you're interested in men, women, or both. If you select "both", then all available bachelors and bachelorettes may fall for you.
* FrothyMugsOfWater: Averted; alcohol tolerance is even one of the achievements tracked.
* GayOption: You can choose to tell the game you're only interested in your own gender, in which case members of the opposite sex won't activate their heart events with you.
* GenderBlenderName: While Bloom isn't exactly a common name, most names associated with flowers are for girls. Bloom is a little boy.
* GottaCatchEmAll: There are 28 dusk hoppers (a mix of firefly and grasshopper) that you can find around town.
* HealingSpring: The hot springs at Fisherman's Spring will restore your energy.
* HeartContainer: Eden Fruit will increase your maximum stamina as well as fully restore it.
* HeroesLoveDogs: You start out with a dog that you've brought with you. Marian and Quint also own dogs.
* HundredPercentCompletion: The game tracks your progress in a Marks Journal, but the only real way to look at it is to speak to a magic fox while wearing a special mask.
* IllGirl: Siloh, Sparrow's sister.
* AnInteriorDesignerIsYou: You can change the look of your farm house. Specifically, you can pick the carpet rug for both your kitchen and table areas, bedspread pattern, curtains, flower boxes on your windows, the color of your dog's food bowl, and various decorations like a potted plant or large lamp. With the exception of your dog's bowl, you can also choose to go with the Spartan aesthetic and have no decoration, even a bedspread. Decorative items have predetermined locations, however.
* InvisibleToNormals: The Feral Shades, spirits who protect Sugar Blossom Village. You can see them, of course, and it's your job to win them over and convince them to return to their duties as protectors of humanity.
* ItemCrafting: Mostly food.
* KindheartedCatLover: Liam keeps a cat in his clinic, and Benjamin's gruff exterior hides the fact that he likes his own cat, too. There's also a stray who hangs around the oceanfront area on sunny days and will follow you home if you feed it several times.
* LevelUpAtIntimacy5: Befriending villagers unlocks several goodies. It may be an event, an item, a hint as to how to find another secret, or just their blessing to marry a family member.
* LoveInterests: Three men and three women. There's also the couple Cole and Amber.
* MiniGame: Lock Ball, a previous stand-alone game by the creator, makes its appearance as the town's variation of soccer. Some festivals also contain treasure hunts or trivia quizzes.
* {{Mukokuseki}}: Everyone appears to be the same pale tan color, and it isn't stated if they're white, Asian, or what - the inclusion of fantastical hair colors does nothing to help racial identification, so they can presumably be thought of as whatever race the player wishes.
* MyLocal: Midnight Tavern sells drinks and is a common place for townspeople to hang out.
* NatureSpirit: The Feral Shades. However, they're not entirely nature-oriented; while one is devoted to respect for nature, others personify true love or hard work.
* PetInterface: If you feed your dog every day, you'll eventually be able to send it to town to buy items for you.
* RelationshipValues: Naturally for marriage candidates, but the rest of the town has them, too, and they're just as important - most people won't marry you if you're not friends with their family, and everyone has at least an event or two to see based solely on friendship.
* {{Retraux}}: The game uses pixel sprites reminiscent of the ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonOriginalSeries'', though character portraits are more modern.
* ScriptedEvent: One of the main draws of the game is getting to know the townspeople through various events.
* ShoutOut:
** You can eventually find a [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime Mystic Ocarina]] that will summon fairies in certain locations.
** One of the villagers is [[Series/Firefly an odd girl named River]].
* {{Sidequest}}: One of the main points of the game is befriending villagers by helping them in various ways.
* SimulationGame: Simulates most aspects of living in a rural farming community, including the passage of time, seasons, and the daily lives of townspeople.
* SliceOfLife: Small-town farming life, that is.
* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Franchise/HarvestMoon'' and its like.
* SugarBowl: Like its inspiration, nothing particularly bad happens in Sugar Blossom Village.
* TalkToEveryone: Your first quest is to talk to everyone in town, and speaking to everyone daily is one of the easiest ways to raise friendship.
* VideoGameCaringPotential: As with most life sims, designed to invoke it. The townspeople are kind but often in need of a little help, you take care of your animals, and you can even feed wild animals or adopt a stray.
