!!Office Secrets includes examples of the following tropes:

* EarnYourBadEnding: ''Office Secrets'' is the only Voltage game to date to have actual unhappy endings, so it makes the better endings even easier to get by having only two options per decision point instead of the usual three.

* {{Crossover}}: The characters have yet to cross over, but Infinite as a company is mentioned in Kunihiko's sequel epilogue in ''VisualNovel/My Forged Wedding'', and in the subsequent Wedding Bells sequel, Kunihiko receives a congratulatory letter from Goda.

* {{Crossover}}: The characters have yet to cross over, but Infinite as a company features prominently in one of the {{Expansion Pack}}s of ''VisualNovel/MyForgedWedding'', in which it's mentioned as the MFW protagonist's favorite clothing brand. Kunihiko claims to know someone at Infinite who's able to get him an invitation for two to a launch party in Italy which is, it's implied, being put on by the New Business department.

* DubNameChange: As per usual for Voltage USA's adaptations, ''Intimate Business'' changes all of the characters' names. Toranosuke Hajime = Hunter Stark, Ryoma Shirasagi = Alistair Stewart, Shota Kurumi = Francis Costanza, Junya Sakurazawa = Noah Housler, Koji Nagumo = Damon Urban, Shingo Kai = James Park, Tamotsu Goda = Robert Stierman, and so on.

* ShipperOnDeck: Goda's niece Marika is enthusiastically in favour of her uncle and the protagonist becoming an item, and becomes the protagonist's personal cheering squad throughout the route and into the epilogue.

* EveryoneCanSeeIt: By the end of Toranosuke's route, indications are that the rest of the department knows he and the protagonist are in love with each other, although they continue to hide their relationship.

** Mr. Goda is likewise surrounded by rumours regarding his personal life. According to office gossip, he's a divorcee, a single father, and pursues relationships with much younger women. [[spoiler:The first two are completely false, and the girl taken as evidence of his affairs with younger women is his niece, Marika. Goda is unaware of the rumours, and quite appalled when he finds out. Marika, on the other hand, thinks it's hilarious.]]

* UrbanLegendLoveLife: Junya, possibly. Most of his interaction with women on his route is more innocent than it appears, [[spoiler:unless you get his normal ending]].

* DubNameChange: As per usual for Voltage USA's adaptations, ''Intimate Business'' changes all of the characters' names. Toranosuke Hajime = Hunter Stark, Ryoma Shirasagi = Alistair Stuart, Shota Kurumi = Francis Costanza, Junya Sakurazawa = Noah Housler, Koji Nagumo = Damon Urban, Shingo Kai = James Park, Tamotsu Goda = Robert Stierman, and so on.

* RaceLift: Koji's ''Intimate Business'' counterpart Damon is black; the rest of the cast are changed from Japanese to Caucasian.

* MustHaveCaffeine: Downplayed but given a nod in the protagonist's narration when she observes that it's "just plain irresponsible" to let the vending machine at the office run out of coffee.

* DubNameChange: As per usual for Voltage USA's adaptations, ''Intimate Business'' changes all of the characters' names. Toranosuke Hajime = Hunter Stark, Ryoma Shirasagi = Alistair Stuart, Shota Kurumi = Francis Costanza, Junya Sakurazawa = Noah Housler, Koji Nagumo = Damon Urban, Shingo Kai = James Park, and so on.
