!!Tropes:
*AbusiveParents: You meet Miriam Young in this case, Amy and Duncan's mother who is shown to be emotionally abusive and harsh towards her daughter for no reason, belittling and calling her too immature to be a police officer. Even [[KnightInSourArmor Frank]] thinks Miriam goes too far.
-->'''Miriam:''' I'll treat my family as I damn well please! You want to arrest me for that? Go ahead.
-->'''Frank:''' Really, I don't know what to make of Miriam Young. Who would've thought Amy's mother could be such a... such a harpy!
*AffectionateParody: Of ''Film/TheBlairWitchProject'' and FoundFootageFilms in general.
*ApocalypticLog: You encounter multiple tapes left behind by Virginia throughout the case, detailing her experience whilst filming the documentary and overall helping you catch the killer by letting you follow her steps.

*CruelAndUnusualDeath: The victim was killed by being impaled with a tree, which according to Roxie was a long slow death.

-->'''Virginia:''' Hello <Player's Name>. If you've received this tape, then it means... It means that I'm dead.
-->Amy's told me so much about you... If you're half as wonderful as her stories led me to believe, then I know I can trust you!
*DontGoInTheWoods: The entire case takes place in the woods of White Peaks or someplace located on them, such an old distillery or the Night Walker's cabin.
*ExploringTheEvilLair: One of the crime scenes is a decrepit cabin in the woods that serves as the Night Walker's lair.
*{{Foreshadowing}}: While talking about Miriam, Frank says [[spoiler:it's a mystery how none of her children turned out to be sociopaths]]. Fast forward to [[Recap/CriminalCasePacificBayCase30TheEndOfTheNight Case 30]], and you find out that's not so true after all...
*IfIDoNotReturn: Virginia leaves a tape indicating whoever happens to find it to go to the old distillery in case anything happens to her, where you'll find more answers about her death.

*IntrepidReporter:
**Virginia, who often spent entire nights deep in snowy forests just so she could film a glimpse of the Night Walker.
**There's also Roberto, who has been investigating on his own about the subject for months and even got mad at Virginia after she found the Night Walker's lair first.
*KillingInSelfDefense: Lola claims she was just defending herself from Virginia when the latter tried to attack her with a knife, which made her push Virginia against the tree. However, Judge Dante still gives Lola a hefty sentence since she was the one who instigated the conflict by following Virginia around and not calling the 911 when she got impaled.
*LikeFatherUnlikeSon: Frank is surprised about how different Miriam is from her daughter Amy.
-->'''Frank:''' Holy crap, <Player's Name>, did you see that? Mrs Young is as cold as you can make them! How could she have given birth to someone as sweet as Amy?
*MetaphorIsMyMiddleName: Roberto tells you "Danger" is his middle name when Frank warns him about meddling with the Night Walker.
*NowYouTellMe: Frank asks Roxie to not tell Amy about Virginia's death because she was her childhood friend, which leads to this.
-->'''Roxie:''' Oh. Really? That's unfortunate.
-->'''Frank:''' What do you mean that's unfor...
-->'''Amy:''' Oh God, VIRGINIA?!
*ParentalFavoritism: According to Duncan, Miriam has always been nicer to him than she is with Amy.

** Blackbear is a parody of Blackberry.
**Frank calls Ramirez JackFrost after the latter appears dressed as a snowman.
*SpeakIllOfTheDead: Miriam says Virginia's death is "a good riddance", which makes Amy cry and run to the forest far away from her.
*SpookyPhotographs: One of the Night Walker's face makes it way towards you during the main investigation, which leads you to its lair, and during the Additional Investigation Roberto manages to get [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2_161.png another one of the monster attacking him.]]
-->'''Roberto:''' I can't believe it! This is incredible, this is... This is proof! This is the final proof of the Night Walker's existence! I knew he was real!
*StalkerWithoutACrush: Lola had been stalking Virginia throughout the forest because she wanted to scare her and make her believe the Night Walker was the one following her, which would've added realism to her documentary. Unfortunately, Virginia was so paranoid that when she discovered Lola was following her the ensuing fight led to her death.
*ToxicFriendInfluence: Miriam saw Virginia as a bad influence for Amy ever since they were children due to her reckless nature, which led to Miriam threatening her about staying away.
