History VideoGame / Roommates

** This only applies for the phone version; the Steam version is all in a single purchase (with free 18+ {=DLC=} available as well).

*** He's also careful not to push people past where they're comfortable. He's a shameless flirt but, while he'll go all out with Isabella (who enjoys it) he restrains himself to the odd "cutie" with the shy Anne.

** Max is probably the biggest example. He's an unrepentant slacker and trouble-maker, usually just so he can annoy Dominick, but he can eventually come around to taking his classes more seriously and becomes good friends with all of his roommates.
** Dominick is a more downplayed example. While he can be a bit of a ControlFreak and is a real stickler about following the rules, he clearly has everyone's best interests in mind and has moments of being NotSoAboveItAll.

* {{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... Ultimately downplayed, as he's rather lucid (if slightly kooky and a bit of a FunnyForeigner) when he's not struck by an insane muse.

* HoYay: Max flirts with all the girls and sometimes Dominic (in order to get a rise out of him.) Max gets a lot of actual HoYay with Rakesh if a route with him is started, and in that case, it's more realistically awkward for Max.

* KissingUnderTheInfluence: While playing a drinking game, it's possible for one of your housemates to dare you to kiss someone: Dominic is often singled out for Anne, while [[GayOption Rakesh for Max.]]

* 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. If she romances either of them, she grows out of it,

* 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 or Max to pass him a towel. Anne can peek on him (raising his affection)

* SchoolUniformsAreTheNewBlack: Anne's classmates Carmen and Roxanne all wear outfits identical to Anne's everyday one would imply that it is a uniform of some kind. Butch and Marvin wear a male equivalent of the outfit. But no one ever mentions it or why none of your other housemates are ever seen in anything resembling a uniform.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: If Anne pursues either Dominic or Rakesh, though for different reasons. Dominic is stable and mature, while Rakesh is more a romantic dreamer.
* TheSlacker: Max starts out this way, acting academically unmotivated and simply wanting to breeze through College. This can be subverted if he actually goes to classes and keeps up his grades.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Both Sally and Dominic are blond and nice, with Dominic being more concerned with following the rules and not getting anyone in trouble, and Sally being more a FriendToAllLivingThings.

** Similarly, she finds men's GirlOnGirlIsHot mentality annoying, and while she's not above using her sexuality to tease men, she 'is' above using it to indulge their fantasies. If she pursues a girl, it's because she's legitimately into them.

* {{Fanservice}}: Absolutely full of it, for both genders. Dominic and Max are in incredible shape, while Rakesh is slender, the female characters are thin and buxom, and everyone ends up in all the various states undress throughout the story. A recent update even lets you turn on an option to actually ''see'' the spicy stuff.

** This is also part of a [[AllJustADream nightmare]] just after Spring Break, when Professor Tosque acts out a kiss in front of the class. Anne and Max both get it.
* HotterAndSexier: After a couple of years came v. 1.05, which adds optional nudity during the love scenes along the lines of the similar feature from ''VideoGame/LorenTheAmazonPrincess''. Some of these changes are a little silly though, like where Anne's no longer wearing her swimsuit in one scene but her torso is entirely covered by Max lying on top of her, and there's still nothing to see.

* AnythingThatMoves: Isabella, especially according to Sally and Dominic. [[spoiler: In pursuing her you find out she actually place a lot of value on monogamy, and breaks up with her boyfriend because he just assumed she seemed promiscuous enough to be up for a threesome.]]
* BareYourMidriff: Both Sally and Isabella. Anne's halloween costume is also this.

* {{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... Ultimately downplayed, as he's rather lucid (if slightly kooky and a bit of a FunnyForeigner) when he's not struck by an insane muse.

* TheGenericGuy: Marvin, even moreso than the other secondary characters. WordOfGod says that he's not an actual character, just a generic filler student. Apparently there's a CreatorInJoke saying that all the people Max and Anne work with at jobs are his brother.

** PlayedStraight if you pursue Isabella with Anne. In the epilogue she (Anne) explicitly states that men are not for her.
* [[NeverTrustATitle Never Trust A Name]]: With a name like Butch, one would expect a burly football player...but no, he's the short guy with the swirly glasses. No wonder he tries to go by his middle name...

* 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. He's also quite the gamer nerd.

* GreenEyes: Sally and Isabella both have green eyes. Sally's are to go along with her eco-chic mentality, while Isabella's are to mark her as a wild child.

* WorldOfBuxom: Every girl is ''at least'' a C and probably closer to a DD or larger.
