History VideoGame / Roommates

* LethalChef: Sally is a vegetarian, so the others hate when she cooks and consider her to be one, though it's mostly just that they don't like meatless burgers. She gets better over the course of the story.

%%* BrownEyes: Anne's eyes are dark brown, both to emphasize her grounded nature and [[ObliviouslyBeautiful feelings of being too average in a house of exceptional people]]. Dominic's eyes are a brighter hazel, and he's more mature and grounded than the rest of the house but still open to having a bit of fun now and then.

* BrownEyes: Anne's eyes are dark brown, both to emphasize her grounded nature and [[ObliviouslyBeautiful feelings of being too average in a house of exceptional people]]. Dominic's eyes are a brighter hazel, and he's more mature and grounded than the rest of the house but still open to having a bit of fun now and then.

** Likely not intentional, but Rakesh's behavior brings to mind [[KatawaShoujo Rin Tezuka]], if she were male, Indian, and more lucid.

* BlondGuysAreEvil: Utterly averted by Dominic, who is helpful and reliable, if a stickler for the rules (which may make him a brand of evil according to Max and Isabella).

* NoodleIncident: Multiple, among others Max has apparently stolen a mannequin at least once.

* ProudBeauty: Isabella knows boys (and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer occasionally girls]]) think she's hot and sees nothing wrong with using this to her advantage.

* EmotionlessGirl: Roxanne, more or less.

* BareYourMidriff: Both Sally and Isabella.

''Roommates'' is a DatingSim from Creator/WinterWolves, playable on both PC and smartphones. Players may choose to be one of two incoming freshmen to Latin House: either the shy, bookish Anne or rockstar-wannabe Max. After settling in, it's a year's worth of deciding schedules and keeping up with crazy roommates in hopes of getting together over spring break.

* CrackShip: Max has a dream where [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections Professor Tasque]] tries to romantically kiss him in front of the class, and the player can choose for Max to reciprocate the feelings. Anne gets this scene as well.

* DoingItForTheArt: Rakesh's main motivation for doing pretty much ''anything'' is that he thought it would make good art. He says that he follows nature's example: nature doesn't ask you if you like its flowers, or expect you to pay it anything in return; it merely blooms because it feels like it.

* HollywoodThin: All three of the girls in the Latin House have extremely slim waists, slim-to-moderately-curvy hips, and enormous breasts. Anne's classmate Carmen is clearly ''not'' a main character simply because [[HollywoodPudgy her waist is larger than a wasp's and she has round cheeks]].

* GranolaGirl: Sally, a meditating vegetarian.

* NoBisexuals: PlayedWith, instead this time there's No Homosexuals: Isabella and Rakesh are both bi, and based on player choices Max will become bi-curious at the start of the [[GayOption Rakesh]] route, if pursued.

** In one scene, Rakesh decides to cover himself in oil-based paint in order to use his chest as a paintbrush on his bedroom walls. Anne or Max points out that the paint might be toxic, and he immediately runs to take a shower. She or he attempts to help, but the paint is stuck. Anne looks online for a way to remove it and discovers(and Max already knows thanks to a family member) that ''mayonnaise'' might work. Neither of them thought anything of this until Isabella walks in and points out how kinky covering someone in mayonnaise is; Anne [[MistakenForGay or Max]] insists it is NotWhatItLooksLike and the shower immediately turns awkward.

* ChekhovsGunman: Marvin, and maybe Tara too, during Prof. Tasque's pair-assignment.\

* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: The fact that Anne's classmate Carmen and a random extra named Roxanne both wear outfits identical to Anne's everyday one would imply that it is a uniform of some kind, but no one ever mentions it or why none of your other housemates are ever seen in anything resembling a uniform.

* {{Fanservice}}: Absolutely full of it, for both genders. All three male main characters are in really good shape, the female characters are thin and buxom, and everyone ends up in all the various states undress throughout the story.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Both Sally and Dominic are blond and nice, with Dominic being more concerned with following the rules and Sally being more a FriendToAllLivingThings.

* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Isabella has been drinking since she was sixteen and can ''more'' than hold her liquor.
* HeroesLoveDogs: Sally eventually ends up rescuing a small white puppy and smuggles him into the house.

* IntoxicationEnsues: Being college kids, alcohol ''will'' come up more than once. One of Anne's scenes involves her discovering Isabella dragging a very drunk Max home and struggling to get him into his own bed, while in another, Dominic and Rakesh help Sally to her room after a drinking game.
* KissingUnderTheInfluence: While playing a drinking game, it's possible for one of your housemates to dare you to kiss someone.

* ObliviouslyBeautiful: Anne thinks she's out of place in Latin House, which she describes as being full of beautiful people and feels plain in comparison. She also convinces herself that the reason Dominic and Max throw themselves at her and compete for her attention is just out of the rivalry between the two of them, not because she's attractive.

* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: When Isabella prances downstairs in a towel, Dominic scolds her to go get dressed before waltzing around the house. When she steals his clothes, he'll beg Anne to pass him a towel and she can choose to either behave this way or to try to peek at him.

* TheSmartGuy: Dominic, though he's drawn with a physique and [[DumbBlond hair color]] that would more suggest him to be the DumbJock; he's extremely keen on studying and keeping grades up, as well as insuring that the others do the same.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Max insults his best friend Memphis more than he does Dominic, the guy who he actually hates at first. Memphis dishes the verbal abuse on Max just as much.

* BiTheWay: Isabella and Rakesh are both open to dating either Anne or Max.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Rakesh thinks just about ''anything'' can be a good excuse for art...or a good ''place'' for art...or a good ''medium'' or ''tool'' for art...

* {{Fanservice}}: Absolutely full of it.

* LethalChef: Sally is a vegetarian, so the others hate when she cooks and consider her to be one, though it's mostly just that they don't like meatless burgers.
* LiteralMinded: When Isabella [[ItMakesSenseInContext discovers Anne covering Rakesh in mayo]], she teases that Anne "wants to eat him up". Anne immediately protests that it's NotWhatItLooksLike, but Rakesh takes it a little too literally and says [[YouWontLikeHowITaste that's a very bad idea]].

** In one scene, Rakesh decides to cover himself in oil-based paint in order to use his chest as a paintbrush on his bedroom walls. Anne points out that the paint might be toxic, and he immediately runs to take a shower. She attempts to help, but the paint is stuck. She looks online for a way to remove it and discovers ''mayonnaise'' might work. Neither of them thought anything of this until Isabella walks in and points out how kinky covering someone in mayonnaise is; Anne insists it is NotWhatItLooksLike and the shower immediately turns awkward.

* FurAndLoathing: Isabella's winter outfit includes a heavy coat with leopard-print collar and cuffs that highly resembles PimpDuds.

* GranolaGirl: Sally, a meditating vegetarian. She has GreenEyes to go along with her eco-chic mentality.

Has nothing to do with ''Webcomic/Roommates'', despite having an [[SimilarlyNamedWorks identical name]].

* TheVamp: Isabella. Her Halloween costume plays with this by [[VampiresAreSexGods making her a vampire]]. Rakesh being a [[[[FurAgainstFang werewolf]] may also play with this, as he's the only character who could be a [[VampireWerewolfLoveTriangle potential romantic rival]] whether the player is [[BiTheWay male or female]].

* PunnyName: Professor ''Tasque'' assigns 'tasks''.

** In another, [[GoneSwimmingClothesStolen Dominic's clothes are stolen by Isabella]] while he's in the shower. If Anne politely hands him a towel from behind the door, the next him he sees her (while chasing down Isabella) results in him being extremely embarrassed despite the fact that she didn't see him naked.
