Added DiffLines:

* ArtificialGravity: Except for a single zero-g room on the station, this is enforced.


Added DiffLines:

* InexplicableCulturalTies: Exaggerated to the point of parody, as this random space station in a completely unfamiliar world even has actual Earth books, movies, music, and sports.


Added DiffLines:

* SpaceClothes: The Champions' uniforms. Notably, clothes from home are ''all'' regains, so everyone is stuck in the uniforms at first.
* SpaceStation: The setting the cast is trapped on.


Added DiffLines:

* EggSitting: For one sabotage, Togami has to look after an annoying robotic baby. He just turns it off.
* EmbarrassingAnimalSuit: Seth has to wear a gorilla suit for a sabotage once.


Added DiffLines:

* FlippingTheBird: Seth gives [=McBurn=] "a rather rude hand sign" during dodgeball.


Added DiffLines:

* HurricaneOfEuphemisms: [=McBurn=] and Margulis shoot these at each other in the dodgeball game, every single one of them by accident.

Added DiffLines:

* AllOrNothing: Win the trials or face a mass execution.
* AmateurSleuth: Just about everyone, since the criteria for kidnapping someone didn't include "professional detective."


Added DiffLines:

* AnotherSideAnotherStory: There originally wasn't going to be a deadland, but one was announced shortly before reserves. For those unfamiliar with the term, it's murdergame genre convention to have a separate community (private during the round, unlocked at the end) for the ghosts of the dead to continue to interact.
* AnyoneCanDie: With "survivors' next characters can't live" as an actual, enforced rule so that anyone can only have one survivor in all rounds but the last. (In ''DRRP'', it was an unwritten rule with a few caveats, and ''Trustfell'' doesn't have that rule at all.)


Added DiffLines:

* SpiritualSuccessor: [[AdvertisingByAssociation From the creators of]] murdergame {{Genre Launch}}er ''Roleplay/DanganRoleplay'', with elements of later games and all-new material.


Added DiffLines:

* WakingUpElsewhere: You wake up in a space station... Aside from that being the beginning of every round, Round 1's "clown room" is this as a PlayedForLaughs punishment.
* WinYourFreedom: The supposed reward for a successful culprit.


Added DiffLines:

* DefacementInsult: Seth draws detailed portraits of the Champions, only to deface them in ways reminiscent of how they died. He calls it an incentive not to kill, though it's clear he's just enjoying how horrified and offended the dead's surviving friends are.


Added DiffLines:

* ILetGwenStacyDie: Lightning feels like this [[spoiler:about Chitanda after she had decided to prioritize saving only her and Chitanda ''still'' died first.]]


Added DiffLines:

* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Angelica shows up to the dodgeball game in a frilly dress and promptly starts wreaking havoc on the field.


Added DiffLines:

** '''Victim 2:''' TamperingWithFoodAndDrink, NeverSuicide
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Xander wakes up and immediately says this to himself at his first memory regain.
* TheNeedsOfTheMany: [[spoiler:The first culprit was willing to kill 19 people to save untold billions.]]


Added DiffLines:

* PlotAllergy: Xander speculates that Bolton's avoidance of peanuts is this rather than [[DoesNotLikeSpam personal preference]].


Added DiffLines:

* RealDreamsAreWeirder: When Jane polls the others on their memory regains, she asks about anything that might have seemed too normal and coherent to be a dream.


Added DiffLines:

* SecretDiary: The PIP has a notes function, making CR charts canon and readable.


Added DiffLines:

* TheyDiedBecauseOfYou: Kurumi to Ricky in the first trial for supposedly inspiring the culprit. Kurumi backs off and apologizes later, though.


Added DiffLines:

* [[invoked]] TooSoon: Jane shuts down Xander's joke (if he could call it that) about giving Bolton peanuts to kill him. She'd just remembered Dream Jake's assassination via peanut allergy.

* BangingPotsAndPans: Bolton does this to annoy [=McBurn=] awake.



* ConvenientlyTimedDistraction: Thomasin gets Xander out in the dodgeball game while he's focused on Jane.



* FourPhilosophyEnsemble: Lightning is the Cynic, Yurika the Optimist, Xander the Realist, Seth the Apathetic, and Jane is the Conflicted. Others tend to describe their philosophies in relation to one or more of these people, who are the strongest examples of them.



* GreasySpoon: There's an out-of-place diner on the second floor that quickly becomes very popular.



* MonsterClown: The space station has a room filled with NonIronicClown paintings that are nonetheless there to freak people out.



* ShipTease: After Kurumi comes down from her IrrationalHatred upon seeing Ricky's horror at the first execution, she ''doesn't'' beat her up like the implied threat she made, and instead they become very close and start getting a lot of this.

* ShaveAndAHaircut: Jane knocks this on the diner kitchen door to test the robots' intelligence.
* ShipTease: After Kurumi comes down from her IrrationalHatred upon seeing Ricky's horror at the first execution, she ''doesn't'' beat her up like the implied threat she made, and instead they become very close and start getting a lot of this. There's also heavy ShipTease with Lightning/Xander after Chitanda starts shipping it, such as the two of them trying not to stare at each other in the gym.

Added DiffLines:

* DodgeballIsHell: The second "motive" is actually a fun dodgeball game. "Fun" being subjective, since it becomes SeriousBusiness to a lot of the characters who either want to use it as a way to learn to work as a team or just want to make someone on the other side suffer.


Added DiffLines:

* GroinAttack: Lightning notes that, during the dodgeball motive, headshots may have been banned, but this was not.
