13	----
14	!!This visual novel provides examples of:
15	* AbusiveParents:
16	** Implied by the dialogue Peter says when he mentions his mother.
17	** Your roommate Lucy had previously run away from her violent father.
18	* AlliterativeName: The diner you work at is called "Dad's Damn Diner!".
19	* AnimalMotifs: Peter is sometimes rather catlike. He also purrs and his eyes glow in the dark.
20	* ArtStyleDissonance: The simplistically blocky character designs will certainly catch a player off-guard considering how dark the game can get.
21	* BaldOfEvil: Unlike the other characters you meet, there is no visible hair on Peter's head.
22	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Peter appears to be a nice, if a bit awkward, young man. But then his true colors start to show...
23	* BlandNameProduct: You can play a platforming game on your [[UsefulNotes/GameBoy [=GameDaddy=]]].
24	* ContentWarnings: "This game contains explicit images and content that may be disturbing or triggering to some audiences." Additional warnings listed on the website include: [[spoiler:murder, gore, drug use, kidnapping, and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil non-consensual intimacy]]]].
25	* CrankyLandlord: Don Williams, the player's landlord, spends most of his screen-time with agitation towards tenants delaying their rent.
26	* DevelopersForesight: If you decide to nickname Peter...
27	** "The Fuboo", he will make some comments about what is apparently either [[MommyIssues his mother]] or some [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall "sick creator]] [[SelfDeprecation who enjoys toying with other's lives"]].
28	** "Cockbite", he will then call the player "Pussycat" [[AffectionateNickname in a playful manner]].
29	* DoNotCallMePaul: The Boyfriend hates his birth name of "Peter".
30	* DrowningMySorrows: Lucy says to you that she was planning to drink after being told off by Don for not paying rent again.
31	* ExhaustedEyebags: Peter has very visible dark circles under his eyes.
32	* FauxAffablyEvil: Peter gleefully calls you "darling" even as [[spoiler:he kidnaps you]].
33	* FeaturelessProtagonist: Despite the player character having a rough design and working at the Diner, "Y/N" is otherwise completely featureless, because they are ''your'' representation in the game.
34	* FetishizedAbuser: {{Deconstructed}}. Peter, the eager stranger you meet, follows nearly every trope of the typical fetishized abuser -- he's the protagonist's main LoveInterest, outwardly charming, obsessive, a CrazyJealousGuy, a {{Yandere}}, and has a dry sense of humor. The VisualNovel shows how frightening and dangerous having such a person being "in love" with you truly is.
35	* FlowerMotifs: Red roses are significant because [[spoiler:they're a gift from Peter he gives you on your first date.]] If you initially refused the date and then bump into him again in the flower shop, he'll offer you a rose again.
36	* GenderInclusiveWriting:
37	** Y/N's gender isn't specified. Justified, as Y/N is meant to represent the actual player and thus their gender by extension.
38	** Your coworker at the diner, TK, goes by they/them pronouns.
39	* GreasySpoon: The diner you work at is referred to as such.
40	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Peter has them.
41	* HelloInsertNameHere: You get to name the protagonist and The Boyfriend; however, the latter's real name is actually "Peter".
42	* IcyBlueEyes: Peter has blue eyes, and he definitely isn't one of the good guys.
43	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Don is a cranky, stern landlord, but he shows concern for the player knowing how overworked they are trying to compensate their own and roommate's rent.
44	* {{Jumpscare}}: When you start the game or start the next day, there is a chance that there will be a scene of a sudden shriek as Peter's sinister face appears on a red screen.
45	* MediumAwareness: Peter is aware that he is in a video game.
46	* MortonsFork: No matter how you act towards him or what choices you select, Peter will always end up becoming your stalker.
47	* MultipleEndings: Planned for when the full game is released.
48	* MustHaveNicotine: Peter is a smoker.
49	* NotDistractedByTheSexy: No one who engages with Lucy on-screen is shown to be stirred by her sensual behaviour - not you, Peter, or Don. This doesn't particularly bother her though.
50	* OneHeadTaller: Regardless of your gender, Peter is always shown in official art to be considerably taller than you. WordOfGod says he's around 6'4 and 6'5.
51	* OverlyLongTongue: Peter is shown to have an inhumanly long tongue.
52	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Boyfriend (Peter) wears blue, his sister Girlfriend (Sarah) wears pink.
53	* PsychoKnifeNut: [[spoiler:Peter's weapon is a knife]].
54	* ScaryTeeth: Peter has jaws full of razor-sharp teeth that he loves to show off when doing his SlasherSmile. He once said he frequently bites his tongue because they're so sharp.
55	* SiblingRivalry: Peter, the Boyfriend, has a younger sister named Sarah, otherwise known as the Girlfriend. The two hate each other because they're both competing for your love.
56	* SlasherSmile: Peter could sure give [[VisualNovel/BoyfriendToDeath Strade]] a run for his money.
57	* StalkerWithACrush: Peter, '''natch'''. He has zero boundary issues who resorts to sneaking into your room, whether you return his affections or not.
58	* TallDarkAndSnarky: Peter, and Don, your landlord.
59	* TheStoner: Lucy is shown at one point retrieving a packet of weed from the kitchen.
60	* VideoGameCaringPotential: You can act nice towards Peter...
61	* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: ...Or you can be an asshole towards him instead. However, there ''is'' a path where you can be somewhere in-between with your actions.
62	* {{Yandere}}: ''Peter'', who will do absolutely anything to "earn" your love.
63	* YoureInsane: You can tell this to Peter near the end of Day 3 [[spoiler:after he confesses to murder]], but he has no interest in hearing it. He knows he's mad, and it's because of ''you''.
