12!!''Missing Children'' contains examples of:
13* AlwaysNight: The sky in the game is always shown as night.
14* GetOut: Mizuki's mom orders Sato to leave her house after catching her in her room.
15* InfiniteFlashlight: There's no sort of indicator if Sato's flashlight needs new batteries, nor do there appear to be any you can find in the game, so this trope's probably in play.
16* LockAndKeyPuzzle: There are quite a few locks you need to find keys for.
17* MissingChild: Three in this game. Akiko, Kanae, and Mizuki. They ran away together, and Sato's trying to find them.
18* MultipleEndings: Two. A good ending, and a bad ending.
19** Good Ending: [[spoiler:Sato finds the girls sitting at the dock with a strange black figure, followed by an epilogue stating what's happened in each of the girls' lives, and how Sato feels she's made up for Takumi's death.]]
20** Bad Ending: [[spoiler:Sato finds the girls at the bottom of the lake, and then turns around to get shoved in herself by some mysterious black figure. She comes to after Funahashi pulled her out, but feels bad that she couldn't help the girls, and that she still hasn't atoned for Takumi's death.]]
21* TheRunaway: The game is about looking for three runaway kids. [[spoiler:At the same time, Sato herself is dealing with the death of her own child, Takumi.]]
22* NoticeThis: Things you can interact with have a white pointer above them.
23* SavePoint: Yamada serves as this. Talk to him at the police station to save your progress.
