!! ''.EXE ~ A Virus Containment Game'' contains examples of:
* ArcWords: '''Failure'''. Experiments #111387 and #024960 [[spoiler:(Ikei and The Virus, respectively)]] are described as "RESULT: FAILURE." The phrase "failure" in .EXE 2 acts as the Admin's BerserkButton. [[spoiler:Yui, the Progenitor, is executed with the Virus describing her as having failed it, after she labeled it as a failure when it was first created.]]
* BoltOfDivineRetribution: [[spoiler: Mel's execution]] on day 3 of the first game consists of [[spoiler:the Admin playing the [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda Song of Storms]] on an ocarina while cosplaying as Link, causing a lightning bolt to incinerate her and reveal her innocence.]]
* DeathOfPersonality: The [[spoiler:lethal injections]] don't work quite as their name implies, instead erasing the victim's mind. [[spoiler: Ikei somehow survived being injected with ''four'' of these needles, and was implied to have been of at least normal intelligence beforehand.]] They later get used in in the third game, where [[spoiler: the injections were used to indoctrinate the infecteds into the Virus Fragments.]] It's also implied that [[spoiler: the injections are how Yui attempted suicide, and what caused her to lose all of her intelligence and memories.]]
* EpicFail: Due to the RTD mechanics, day 3 of the third game involved evidence getting accidentally destroyed, 5 people accidentally shooting themselves in an attempt to examine a gun, and even one of the players ''falling on one of the hosts and promptly sleeping on them.''
* IJustShotMarvinInTheFace: In the third game, when people are inspecting the gun that killed [[spoiler:Doctor Bones and 270° Chester Allan Arthur]], ''every attempt'' to examine the gun ends with the examiner shooting themselves in the foot. Except Vanessa, who shot herself somewhere [[GroinAttack even worse]].
* LeaveBehindAPistol: Following the reveal that Ikei [[spoiler:is a failed clone of Timeline Master Awe]], Caleb grabs a gun... and hands it over, unable to kill Ikei himself. Ikei ''[[DramaticallyMissingThePoint completely misinterprets]]'' what this was supposed to mean, however, until the Admin calls Caleb out on it the next day.
-->'''The Admin''': I saw how you were acting towards Ikei yesterday, punk. Handing him a gun so he can commit suicide... what kind of asshole ''does'' that?
-->'''Ikei''': Wait, ''that's why you handed me that gun?'' I thought you trusted me or something! You wanted me to kill myself?
-->'''Caleb''': You looked miserable. And the way you cried... Together, it just... brought me pain to see you in such a horrible state.
-->'''Ikei''': So your solution was for me to ''commit suicide?!''
-->'''Caleb''': [[DidntThinkThisThrough It went through better in my mind]], but [[BluntYes yes. Quite bluntly.]]
* MagicMisfire:
** Charis in the first game, attempting to levitate a body to aid carrying it outside to bury, accidentally smashes herself into the ceiling instead.
** During day 3 of the second game, Baba attempts to enact several rules while investigating, but fumbles repeatedly, destroying all the towels in the hotel and temporarily disabling gravity.
* NonGameplayElimination: Engineer was removed from the first game due to player request.
* ThePenIsMightier: [[spoiler: Ikei]], possessed by The Virus, stabs [[spoiler: The Admin]] and later [[spoiler: Strawberry]] with a fountain pen in the first game.
* PoorCommunicationKills: The innocents in the third game lost in the end as a result of miscommunications -- first Micha mentioned Dante's death before it was discovered, attracting ''massive'' suspicion (it was a brainfart; they meant Dalek and the fact that Dante ''really was'' dead was sheer coincidence); then Junko misinterprets the evidence in such a way that she was believed to be attempting a FrameUp (she really was just misreading things). As a result, Junko was falsely convicted, and Micha would've been next if the viruses hadn't overwhelmed them all that night anyway. [[CassandraTruth Both of them tried explaining themselves, but nobody bought it.]]
* ResetButton: On day 1 of the first game, a bunch of chaos happened involving [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext potted plants being suspected as murderers, a gravy flood, and rats making corrupted computer noises]], resulting in the ''world itself'' crashing and the game resetting back to the beginning, though everyone has RippleProofMemory.
* ShoutOut: [[spoiler:Shafaqat]]'s death in the first game was caused by [[VideoGame/DetroitBecomeHuman 28 stab wounds]].
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: The death of [[spoiler:Shafaqat, in night 1 of the first game]] was caused by being stabbed ''28 times''.
* UncertainDoom: At the end of the first game, the fate of [[spoiler:Triple-Inverted Dan Quayle, Uirst, Caleb, Charis, and the Admin after being outnumbered by the virus]] is left unclear, though definitely not good. They do all seem alive and relatively unmarred in ''Murder-free'', but the AlternateUniverse nature of that thread makes the information dubiously canon to the rest of the 'verse. The second game did eventually confirm one fate; [[spoiler:The Admin is alive and kicking, but infected now]].
* TheVirus: The killers in this game have a 1 in 6 chance of converting their nightkill targets into more Virus instead of killing them. To balance this, they also have a fairly high chance[[note]]Opposed d6 rolls; victim lives if they win, dies if they lose, and converts if they tie[[/note]] of leaving their target entirely unharmed.
