* OffModel: Some characters have rather...inconsistent breast sizes.

* WorldOfBuxom: Outside of Satsuki and occasionally Kanon, everyone has a massive chest. Natsume and certain [=CGs=] take this up to eleven by giving characters GagBoobs.

* {{Gainaxing}}: ''Every'' female character with an animated portrait bounces with practically every movement she makes to the point of becoming comedic.

* FaceHeelTurn: Happens with [[spoiler:Akira]] at the start of her route. This is dropped immediately after and only seems to happen to give Minato a reason to distrust her.

* ParanoiaFuel: Rampant InUniverse as [[spoiler:the pandemic breaks out as people 1. Don't know who may be infected even after learning the virus only affects women. 2. Don't know exactly how the virus is transmitted. 3. When women who are infected will either die or go berserk]].

* SlidingScaleOfCynicismVsIdealism: Varies greatly depending on the route, making it feel as if the game has a ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo''-style design where each person writes their route independent of the other writers. This can be seen by comparing Akira's true ending to Satsuki's, as Akira has [[spoiler:Dream 4 You revert the transformations of Natsume, Satsuki, and Yuno through the PowerOfLove, and kill the virus off for good.]] Satsuki has [[spoiler:Minato attempt to revert the transformations of Fuuka, Yuno, and Kanon and fail to do so, putting him in the hospital and not functioning at all due to the shock of ultimately killing his family and childhood friend.]] Even the choices to ''get'' the true ending fall on the opposite ends of the spectrum. Akira's has you [[spoiler:decide to destroy the virus to save everyone]] and Satsuki's has you [[spoiler:vow to save specifically her from the infection, rather than saying you'll save everyone.]]
* RhythmGame: Fighting in battle involves pressing specific buttons in time to the music to strengthen [=D4U=]'s attacks.

* LighterAndSofter: Akira's route is surprisingly this, showing the good of humanity and having Ratom take an active role in helping. Her true ending even [[spoiler:has all non-Kanon heroines recover from their transformation and has everyone cured instantly.]] The sheer contrast between some other routes makes it feel as if the game has a ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo''-style design where each person writes their route independent of the other writers.

* {{Bowdlerize}}: The US version changed nearly all instances of "school" to "academy" and none of the characters' actual ages are mentioned to make everyone appear as college/high school students rather than high/middle school students.

* LighterAndSofter: Akira's route is surprisingly this, showing the good of humanity and having Ratom take an active role in helping. Her true ending even [[spoiler:has all non-Kanon heroines recover from their transformation and has everyone cured instantly.]]

* BlindIdiotTranslation: Not the main game as a whole - despite having a typo every few minutes or the occasional incorrect name as it doesn't harm the narrative - but the translations for the Album/Options menu options are definitely this.

Minato Kanishiro is a 2nd-year student at Ouka Academy in the small town of Utanami where he lives alone with his younger sister, Fuuka, after their parents died in a plane crash two years prior. He's learned that his childhood friend, Kanon Hiiragi, who has spent years in various hospitals both overseas and in Japan, is doing well enough to return home for a while. However, as he parents also died in an accident, she has no home to return to, so the Kanishiros invite her to live with them.

While unpacking Kanon's belongings into her room, Minato discovers a strange device called a Dream App containing a program wherein five AI-controlled idol singers named "Dream 4 U" ([=D4U=]) appear and promise to fight for Minato if he's ever in danger. That declaration holds true shortly thereafter when Minato and all of his friends are attacked by a strange monster shortly after Kanon's welcome party in a local park, where [=D4U=] is able to destroy it with their song.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: Not the main game as a whole- despite having the occasional typo or incorrect name as it doesn't harm the narrative- but the translations for the Album/Options menu options are definitely this.

* DownerEnding: Most of the Normal Endings involve [[spoiler:Minato having to MercyKill the heroine he fell in love with, resulting in a HeroicBSoD he never truly recovers from. Natsume's is the main exception]].

* ApocalypseHow: Class 0 if the Pandemic breaks out. [[spoiler:Implied to escalate to at least a Class 3 in the Bad endings]].

* SliceOfLife: The first half of the game follows Minato's routine as he hangs out with various friends and builds relationships with the chosen heroine.
* ZombieApocalypse: [[spoiler:If the pandemic breaks out as more and more people are infected by the X-Virus and turn into Neomen]].

* SliceOfLife: The first half of the game follows Minato's routine as he hangs out with various friends and builds relationships with the chosen heroine.

* BittersweetEnding: Several of the endings fall under this. [[spoiler:Kanon dies in every True Ending that isn't hers, Satsuki and Akira are the only heroines who survive Satsuki's, and Natsume forever loses her body in her Normal End]].

* {{Leimotif}}: All of the heroines have distinct themes that play during scenes that focus on them, including sad and romantic variations.

* BeachEpisode: 10/14 takes place at the local pool. The character Minato hangs out with that day also sets their respective ending flag to secure their route if the other pre-requisites are met.

What follows begins as a SliceOfLife story between Minato and his circle of friends: longtime friend Yuno Wakatsuki, third-year senior Satsuki Tsushima, first-year junior Natsume Kurihara, the mysterious Akira Tabunoki, and best friend Makoto Auyura, while rumors of the mysterious "X Virus" continue to persist throughout the month.
