* In the poem writing minigame, some of the depressing word choices like "death", "hopeless", "defeat", and "alone" impress Sayori, of all characters, which gives away her chronic depression and suicidal tendencies. In the second act, these same words count as points toward Yuri, as her unravelling is the focus of that act.

* During the second poetry reading session, Sayori says "Writing's the best! I'm gonna keep writing until I die!" And, well...

*** If the player reads '''Save Me''' in Act II, they will notice a lot of letters missing from many words, [[NoIndoorVoice and some words that are still intact are capitalized for emphasis]], and when the player scrolls down to the last line, instead of "Load Me", it now says, "Delete Her", a fine clue as to how Monika deletes her friends, and a very fine foreshadowing on how to get rid of her in Act III.

* The game's logo. Both instances of "Doki" are placed extremely close together. which merges the two letter Os together, turning them into [[GroundhogDayLoop the infinity symbol.]]

** After Yuri describes the plot of ''The Eye of Markov'', the PC notes that she made it sound like it was going to be a nice story at first until it took a dark turn. This, of course, foreshadows the SurpriseCreepy that comes later. It may also be ProductionForeshadowing for a later game.

** Similarly, After Yuri hesitantly agrees to do the poem performance during the school festival, she dejectedly says "This club is seriously going to be the death of me..."

** ''Parfait Girls'', Natsuki's manga, has four girls in animated poses on the cover, much like the game's title screen. She describes it as starting as a comedy with a chapter about the girls obsessing over a boy in an ice cream shop, before turning to the dramatic later on once it delves into the character's backstories. She also mentions a character named Minori, who is "unlucky" but still likable, that apparently goes through [[BreakTheCutie something bad]]. This seems to reference the events of Act 1, the reveal of Sayori's depression, and her ultimate fate by the end of the Act.

* Team Salvato has the game's soundtrack uploaded on their official Youtube account. Monika is notably the only character moving around in the otherwise still background image. Some songs, such as "Sayo-nara" and "Just Monika," also have characters removed from the image, hinting at their eventual removal within the game.

** Yuri's second poem, ''The Raccoon'' is about Yuri's unusual hobbies, and depicts a woman who feeds hand sliced bread to a raccoon, despite knowing that it will always come back for more. She eventually takes a dark thrill in feeding the raccoon, being prepared to feed it wherever she goes. Throughout the poem, Yuri is unusually fixated on the knife she uses to slice the bread, describing the raccoon's hunger and her desire to feed it in terms of an addiction, and even mentioning a"rush of blood" in the final stanza. All of this takes on a sinister light when her propensity for self-harm is revealed in Act 2.

* At the end of the third day, if you spend enough time with Yuri or Natsuki, Monika will allude to the flaws they possess, particularly the ones that are exaggerated in Act 2.

** At one point during Act 1, Monika makes the protagonist ponder a question where she states that he only sees the cheerful side of Sayori, because that is how Sayori ''acts'' when she is around him.

* When questioned about knowing about the player's private conversation with Sayori, Monika smiles & says "Of course I do. I'm the club president", which foreshadows the revelation that being club president gives people some kind of psychic abilities.

** If the player spends more time with Yuri than the other members, Monika will warn the protagonist that Yuri has a hard time opening up to others and that she could accidentally hurt herself. In Act 2, Yuri stabs herself to death after confessing her love the protagonist.
