* FirstPersonSmartass: The player character uses snark at least in part as a coping mechanism to deal with her dissatisfaction with her circumstances and with being out of her depth. Since she's very frequently out of her depth once the supernatural side Havenfall starts intruding into her life, her narration and inner monologue provide a steady stream of snark and self-deprecation.

* MasterOfIllusion: Illusion is one of Razi's specialties as a djinn. He largely uses it to help maintain TheMasquerade (for instance, to prevent people from noticing the supernatural brawl going on between himself and Jonas in the middle of the day early in his first season), or to confuse enemies during a fight (such as making a mook's weapon "disappear"). He's capable of much more complicated illusions, however - at the extreme end, he shows himself able to trap someone in a LotusEaterMachine which is very difficult to break out of even once they realize it's an illusion.

It seems to be a natural scent; even after a dunk in a muddy lake, all she smells from Razi is the familiar incense.

* IHaveYourWife: Poor Grace ends up used as a hostage against the protagonist and her love interest as often as not.
** In Diego's season two, [[spoiler:Antonio]] threatens Grace in order to compel the protagonist to cooperate with his "game" against Diego.
** In Razi's route Grace seems to have initially been just a victim of opportunity, but as soon as [[spoiler:Jonas]] realizes that the protagonist is Razi's weakness, he's more than willing to use Grace as leverage against both of them.

* OlderThanTheyLook: Of the possible love interests in Havenfall, only Mackenzie is confirmed to have a definite, normal age (27). Diego, who appears to be about thirty, is around five hundred years old, and JD and Razi's profiles state only that they ''look'' twenty-five and thirty-five respectively, with no indication of how long either of them has actually lived.


Added DiffLines:

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Diego looks about thirty but is actually around five hundred years old. Razi and JD may likewise be much, much older than they seem; their profiles only state that Razi "looks 35" and JD "looks 25," with no indication of how long either of them has actually lived.

* OurGeniesAreDifferent: Razi objects to the word "genie." His magic specializes in [[MasterOfIllusion illusions]] and transfiguring things - [[BalefulPolymorph or people]] - into other things, though he's also capable of throwing around waves of force and creating defensive shields. His power is also specifically linked to his home territory, in this case the bowling alley: not only is he at his most powerful on its grounds, [[spoiler:using his magic away from the bowling alley is physically painful. Razi likens it to an electrical current, which within the bowling alley is grounded so that he can safely channel it, while away from that ground there's nothing to bear the brunt of the power except his own body]].

** Vampires in this setting are former humans who have become immortal and sustain themselves by drinking blood, but they're not affected by sunlight and much of the rest of classical vampire lore is likewise dismissed as myth, including the lack of a reflection: "What, you think my hair does this by itself?" Even a stake through the heart is likely to only incapacitate a reasonably strong vampire unless it's the right kind of wood - Diego directs the protagonist to use cypress. Holy water and a particular herb used in magical rituals are noted to be among the only other things capable of killing a vampire.

''Havenfall Is For Lovers'' is a RomanceGame VisualNovel by [[Creator/VoltageInc Voltage Entertainment USA]], released through their ''Lovestruck'' app for [=iOS=] and Android devices.

The story takes place in the one-stoplight backwater of Havenfall. The PlayerCharacter has accepted that she'll never make it out of the dead-end town, but she's determined to help her younger sister Grace get through college and give her a chance at a better life somewhere else. Then Grace goes missing, and a lot of things in Havenfall turn out to be more than they appeared.

The only people willing to help find Grace are the ones she's just discovered are not human: a vampire, a werewolf, a devil, and a djinn. To save her little sister, the protagonist will have to learn to trust a monster... of course, this being a romance game, it isn't going to end there.

!!The game contains examples of:

* DaywalkingVampire: The vampires of the setting experience no negative effects from sunlight; even the tinted sunglasses that Diego wears most of the time seem to be more to hide his red eyes than anything else. Night does make it a lot easier for him to find [[ShadowWalker shadows to warp through]], however.
* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire:
** Diego Escalona is Havenfall's doctor and a potential love interest for the player character. He went into medicine as a form of [[TheAtoner atonement]] for his past misdeeds [[spoiler:as a soldier in the invasion of Mexico led by Hernan Cortes]], and spends a lot of his time making house calls. He keeps a (presumably more or less ethically obtained) supply of blood stored at Razi's bowling alley rather than feeding on living humans.
** Havenfall also has a whole family of Friendly Neighborhood Werewolves, the Hunts. Mackenzie Hunt is Havenfall's current sheriff and another potential love interest.
* TheJerseyDevil: Jordan "JD" Davies is identified specifically as the Jersey Devil and is one of the game's love interests.
* MustBeInvited: Needing invitation to enter is one of the few classical vampire tropes that's confirmed to be true. It's also relatively simple to rescind the invitation, forcibly ejecting the vampire from the premises, simply by telling them to GetOut. The only snag is that the person who invited the vampire in has to be the one to revoke the invitation, as the protagonist discovers in Diego's season one - since Grace was the one who originally invited Victor into their house, there's no way to make it proof against him as long as Grace is still missing, requiring the protagonist to stay at Diego's house for her protection.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent:
** Vampires in this setting are former humans who have become immortal and sustain themselves by drinking blood, but they're not affected by sunlight and much of the rest of classical vampire lore is likewise dismissed as myth, including the lack of a reflection: "What, you think my hair does this by itself?" Even a stake through the heart is likely to only incapacitate a reasonably strong vampire unless it's the right kind of wood - Diego directs the protagonist to use cypress. Holy water and a particular herb used in magical rituals are noted to be among the only other things capable of killing a vampire.
** As for abilities, aside from generally enhanced strength and their extreme durability, the specific abilities of any given vampire can vary. Diego has the power to [[ShadowWalker warp through shadows]], and telepathy is demonstrated as another possible vampire ability.
* ParanormalRomance: The main focus of the story is the player character's growing romance with one of the game's main cast of supernatural beings.
* SadisticChoice: At the climax of Diego's season two, season antagonist [[spoiler:Antonio]] presents the player character with a choice: kill Diego with the stake and other vampire-slaying tools prepared for just this occasion, or lose her younger sister forever.
* SignificantMonogram: "JD," ostensibly short for "Jordan Davies," also stands for "Jersey Devil."
