* EvenEvilHasStandards: It's implied that [[spoiler:the player doesn't want the "meat" to be cut up ''alive''. He or she lets the residents leave the cabin and either kills them before they can brave the flood waters, or waits for them to fail first before fetching the body. The player character is shaken when Karin cuts up a drugged Gregor and leaves him to pass out from shock and blood loss on the couch, especially when she says she was going to keep him alive for at least a week]].



* UnreliableNarrator: The player character is lying to the player the whole time. They produce meat out of nowhere.



* WasOnceAMan: In the Appetizer Edition, [[spoiler:the Chompettes are eventually revealed to have once been another group of people that were murdered in the cabin's basement]]. And in the main visual novel, [[spoiler:not only does Karin become a ghoul, one ending has her become a Turnip Chompette]].

* WhamLine: Onion says that [[spoiler:three people dying in nine days is pretty bad]]. They go on to say, "But not as bad as five in one night though...right?" After an uncomfortable {{Beat}}, Onion says [[spoiler:they would lose their lunch if they had to see it again]].

* SacredHospitality: The player treats the new friends as his guests, feeding them and housing them from the rain. It's especially sweet since they are refugees. [[spoiler:Horribly subverted when you learn the player character has led them into a trap to eat them and has done it many times over the year]].

* KnifeNut: Karin is always carrying a knife with her, [[spoiler:and eventually uses it to mutilate Gregor]].



* OurGhoulsAreCreepier: Downplayed.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's never confirmed whether the Chompettes are figments of the protagonist's mind, or if they're [[spoiler:actually the spirits of people the protagonist killed before. The protagonist seems to suspect the former, but the Chompettes themselves claim the latter.]] Either way, it's confirmed [[spoiler:during the battle sequence with Karin]] that nobody else can see or hear them.



* NeverLearnedToRead: Anatoly, one of your companions, has the outward appearance of a scholar but never even learned simple math.


Added DiffLines:

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: In addition to the unavoidable parts of the plot, the player character can choose to bully Anatoly alongside Karin, [[spoiler:assist her in cutting up Gregor while he's still alive, and refuse Gregor's last request for a blanket as he is dying.

* OnceMoreWithClarity: Completing the game and getting the normal ending will show an expanded version of the opening scene, revealing that [[spoiler:the protagonist was not on vacation or escaping with the rest of the cast, as the setup initially suggests. Instead, they lived in the cabin all along, and the other characters stumbled upon it while fleeing the conditions in Ukraine. The player character planned to kill and eat them all along.]]
