History VisualNovel / MetaWareHighSchoolDemo

* ObviousBeta: {{Invoked|Trope}} and PlayedForLaughs if the gang goes to the Mochi Shop, where the background looks even more like a placeholder (even the letter at the end of this route will straight-up admit that the area "looks terrible") and nothing seems to work properly, as amusing "glitches"[[note]]that don't make much sense to exist in a UsefulNotes/RenPy game[[/note]] occur while the route goes on.

* ObviousBeta: The game has StylisticSuck assets to remind you that this is supposed to be a demo. And when the gang goes to the Mochi Shop, a lot of things start breaking. The gang having no eyes might also be meant as a sign that the game is not finished.

* CantMoveWhileBeingWatched: {{Implied}}, as at the Mochi Shop, Aspen will ask the player to close their eyes so they can do something. (Don't question [[SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat why they only knows what eyes are during this one exchange]].)

* CantMoveWhileBeingWatched: {{Implied}}, as at the Mochi Shop, Aspen will ask the player to close their eyes so she can do something. (Don't question [[SuddenlyAlwaysKnewThat why she only knows what eyes are during this one exchange]].)

* KnifeNut: In one route, Hope confides with the player that Nari used to be this, carrying at least one with her at all times. [[spoiler:In a different ending, Nari reveals the reason why: She wanted to use it on you when she saw you. After Hope took the knives away, she didn't bother getting new ones with the realization that she wouldn't actually be able to hurt you anyway.]]

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: [[spoiler:The "Final Route" is nothing like the others.]]

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: [[spoiler:The final route mainly consists of you asking vague armor-piercing questions to the gang while they also try to come to terms with the fact that they're about to die/[[CessationOfExistence not exist anymore]].]]
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Nari barely says a word during the main story, but after reading the creator's letter, everything but her will disappear. She wastes no time antagonizing you and even [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou threatens to kill you]] in some endings. She does so until she gets bored.

* CharacterBlog: An incarnation of Hope exists as [[https://twitter.com/metamochigurl @metamochigurl]] on Website/{{Twitter}}. Interestingly, this wasn't revealed within the game itself but rather when ''metamochigurl herself'' posted the game's [[https://steamcommunity.com/games/1194740/announcements/detail/2092426528669656264 first update]], although all her changes were [[https://steamcommunity.com/games/1194740/announcements/detail/2092426528670765498 quickly reversed]]. She also likes to interact with the fan-made [=MetaWare=] roleplay accounts. As of the {{DLC}}, this account is also holds part of an {{ARG}}.
