* DoomedProtagonist: The Rat God makes it clear that even if he succeeds in getting his revenge, he's still going to die once the day is over. [[spoiler:While the specifics of how it would happen are actually a lie she told in order to manipulate him, the end result isn't -- the truth is that he was always going to die even if the events of the game never occurred, thanks to his failing heart.]]
Added DiffLines:
* PuppeteerParasite: She causes her hosts to hallucinate as a means to make them do what she wants, mainly putting themselves in a situation where they can be preyed upon.

* ColdEquation: The Rat God wants Mad Rat to get eaten by a cat so she can live. This is justified, as felines are one of the only hosts toxoplasma gondii is known to reproduce in, and the Rat God is a hallucination from Mad Rat's toxoplasmosis.

The Rat God has a scientific name (toxoplasma gondii,) and Cold Equation is the closest trope I could think of.

Then it turns out he's suffering from a bad heart and Heart isn't doing much to fix it, so either he accepts the transplant and lives for a bit longer while also killing Heart, or he doesn't take the transplant and die earlier while Heart lives.]]

Seldom Seen Species is no longer a trope, just a list of animals that are in the work.

* SeldomSeenSpecies: The type of parasite she is isn't specified, but it's heavily implied to be ''Toxoplasma gondii'', a parasite that's incredibly common in real life but rarely if ever used in fictional works, let alone as a character.
