History VisualNovel / CrossChannel

* WhamLine: [[spoiler: Taichi]] to Kiri: [[spoiler:"[[BrokenPedestal Your Nii-san was a horrible, filthy rapist]]."]]

* WhamLine: At least for Kiri: [[spoiler:"[[BrokenPedestal Your Nii-san was a horrible, filthy rapist]]."]]

Strangely enough, the characters were the basis for the highly popular flash game ''[[NanacaCrash NANACA†CRASH!!]]''

* BleachedUnderpants : The {{Updated Rerelease}}s of this game are all clean versions. ''[[NanacaCrash NANACA†CRASH!!]]'' could also be a possibility.
** If you compare the old and new trailers, you can see that they even edited out the {{Panty Shot}}s.

* AllThereInTheManual : The bonus scenario Tower of Friends, which (sort of) answers some of the most puzzling questions of the main game via a quick MindScrew full of NightmareFuel.

* EveryoneRemembersTheStripper: Or more specifically, everyone remembers the [[http://kotaku.com/5754680/the-xbox-360-game-bundled-with-a-vibrating-wand special edition vibrator]].

* DartboardOfHate: Except replace "darts" with "[[TheArcher crossbow]]" and "dartboard" with [[spoiler:a doll of Taichi]].

* PantyShot : At least one for almost every female character! Taichi likes pointing them out.
* {{Plot-Based Photograph Obfuscation}}: To conceal [[spoiler:Youko not killing anyone at the Shinkawa mansion.]]

** GoldenEnding: deconstructed as pointed out by Youko [[spoiler: the hundreds or thousands of times Taichi has repeated the game has resulted in countless {{bad ending}}s for Taichi and there IS no super happy ending out there. And ultimately she is proven right in the game's BittersweetEnding, where everyone but Taichi gets sent back to the real world, Taichi remains in self-imposed exile, and its left questionable if a few people who he sends back will ever fully recover and become functional members of society (Touko & Youko in particular.)]]

* XanatosGambit: [[spoiler: Youko nearly pulls off one in the final week, figuring out what Taichi is up to she aids him without question in sending everyone else back to the real world. Then when only the two of them remain she torches all the saved records from the hokora then captures and plans to kill his "saved" self and live forever in a perpetual loop with him as a phenomena, with his reset self none the wiser to what has happened and incapable of learning the truth. Only a brutal last minute HannibalLecture by Taichi allows him to turn the tables and force her to leave instead.]]

-->'''Taichi''': We made time, prepared tools, trained, observed, altered, investigated, deferred, purchased, revised, searched, decided, withdrew and kissed.

* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Somewhat literally when Taichi explains what's in his handmade popsicles. Misato is ''[[ScaryShinyGlasses not]]'' pleased. [[hottip:*:[[TheGadfly He was joking]], of course.]]

** [[spoiler:FridgeHorror: If you look at MeaningfulName below, "korosu" (kill) sounds very similar to "Kurosu", which is a near homophone with "cross" in Japanese. More crosses appear as alternate Taichi's sanity slips. [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel †††††††††]]]]

A VisualNovel created by Flying Shine in 2003. ''CROSS†CHANNEL'' is an [[{{eroge}} H-game]] for PC with a [[BleachedUnderpants clean version]] available for PlayStation2 and PlaystationPortable called ''CROSS†CHANNEL ～To all people～'', and a [[UpdatedRerelease newer version]] with added [=CGs=] and scenarios for the {{Xbox 360}} called ''CROSS†CHANNEL ~In memory of all people~''.

* DownerEnding : Not to the game itself, but some routes end poorly. [[spoiler:All of them except ''maybe'' Kiri and Miki's. And in Kiri's he comes to passing the moral event horizon, and Miki's isn't much better.]]

* MeaningfulEcho: "I'm sorry...... that's all I can leave you with......" Unique in that [[spoiler:the second time you hear it is actually the first]].

After a slow falling out between members, Taichi attempts to bring the fractured Broadcasting Club back together by getting them to go on a camping trip together. This trip serves to only fracture the relationships between members even more, ending up a disaster. But as the members make their way back to town, they discover that every living thing has somehow disappeared from the world, leaving only them behind. Taichi tries to convince the others to help rebuild the broadcasting antenna so as to contact other survivors. [[spoiler:However, Taichi soon discovers that the world is actually repeating the week after they found the others vanished.]]
