Useful Notes/ pages are not tropes. If re-adding, use Accent Tropes to find correct trope.


* BritishAccents: Evident in the way the speech is written. Aofie in particular has a cockney accent, whilst Mrs Shaddows and Cherry seem to employ Received Pronunciation.

''HouseOfShadows'' is a free indie PC game by Tealight Studios, and their first public release. It was made in RPG Maker VX Ace, and is a murder mystery game/affectionate parody of ''{{Cluedo}}.''

The game follows Detective Groves, who begins investigating an old house after hearing strange rumours about it. Before the night is through however, strange voices inform present company of impending doom, a fate which only the detective may be able to prevent. Will they be able to catch the murderer in their midst before it's too late?

An updated version is said to be in development, and will introduce new characters. The game can be found here, on [[http://gamejolt.com/games/house-of-shadows/80287 GameJolt.]]

!! House of Shadows contains examples of:

*AnachronismStew: Character designs range from steampunk to 1920's/30's, to vaguely modern. The house itself is also ambiguous in this regard.
*AffectionateParody: In some ways, to {{Cluedo}}. The characters are also this to common archetypes in older fictional works.
*AnyoneCanDie
*BetterManhandleTheMurderWeapon: Justified. The detective picks up the weapon because there is still a killer on the loose, who could well come back for it.
*BlackWidow: Mrs Shaddows can be one, depending on the ending.
*BritishAccents: Evident in the way the speech is written. Aofie in particular has a cockney accent, whilst Mrs Shaddows and Cherry seem to employ Received Pronunciation.
*TheButlerDidIt: one of the possible endings.
*ColourCodedCharacters: Naturally, for a game inspired by Cluedo.
*DeadpanSnarker: Chiffon has her moments.
*DefrostingIceQueen: chiffon as the game progresses.

*EveryoneIsASuspect
*InterclassRomance: Cherry and Gray

*MultipleEndings: A bad ending, and an ending each for all possible suspects. [[spoiler: And a secret golden ending, available only under specific circumstances.]]
*NoNameGiven: Weiss is only ever referred to as Weiss, which is probably his surname, but may not be. Subverted by Mrs Shaddows who is named thusly when speaking, but whose first name is freely given throughout the game, and in conversation with other characters. [[spoiler: It’s Elizabeth, or Bess.]]
*SpoiledSweet: Cherry.
*SupremeChef: Chiffon, to the point she admits this is probably the only reason she is tolerated by the group.
*TogetherInDeath: Cherry and Gray, should they both be killed.
*TooDumbToLive: Mrs Shaddows thought it would be fun to deliberately buy a haunted house.
*UnluckyChildhoodFriend: Weiss to Mrs Shaddows

*YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Aofie. Algy and the detective also have green hair.
