* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:It’s impossible for everyone to get out alive, but the most depressing ending is the KillEmAll ending wherein [[VillainProtagonist you]] murder the others]].

* KillEmAll: About halfway through, you can invoke this by killing the other people in the room, [[spoiler:and as it turns out, killing everyone else is the only way to survive.]]

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dominic. Probably helps him [[TheCasanova charm the ladies]].

[[YouWakeUpinaRoom You wake up in a white room]] with countless weapons and four strangers – the brooding AntiHero with {{tsundere}} tendencies, Dev Hanshin; the chatty and outgoing PluckyGirl, Evie Olive; the sweet and elegant [[ProperLady lady in red]], Ambrosia of the Phoenix; and the HandsomeLech, Dominic Eld.

* AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler:Despite looking like one, Dev clearly isn’t human. Ambrosia doesn’t even know what the word means.]]

* BigBad: This can be you.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:When you kill yourself to let one of the others live.]]
* BlameGame: Pointing the finger at each other is one of their first go-to reactions – at least, for some of them.
* TheCasanova: Dominic. 'Nuff said.
* CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption: [[spoiler:If you choose to act like a good guy, you will eventually reach a point where the only way to survive is to kill the two people trying to murder you and Ambrosia.]]

* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:It’s impossible for everyone to get out alive.]]

* EvilAllAlong: Could be you. [[spoiler:Dominic and Evie might fit the trope, but this is open to debate. After all, their backstory has yet to be fully disclosed.]]

* ForcefulKiss: You can give Ambrosia one.

** [[spoiler:The title alone should be enough to tip you off on how to escape successfully. ]]
** [[spoiler:Ambrosia tells you to burn her body before she dies. If you don’t, she inexplicably kills you.]]
** [[spoiler:Despite waking up in a strange room, everyone’s remarkably calm. Ambrosia and Dominic are also dressed rather unusually, and there are some odd hair colors present. Make the right choices and you’ll learn that everyone comes from a different world.]]

* GenderEqualEnsemble: Subverted only by you.
* GoodIsNotNice: Dev. Oh, Dev.

* HiddenDepths: There’s clearly more BeneathTheMask for just about everyone.

* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: You can do this to Ambrosia.
* TheIngenue: Ambrosia’s sweet, innocent, and optimistic. [[spoiler:Except for when you fail to burn her body after she dies.]]
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:As a female, you can do this with Dominic. As a male, you can do this with Ambrosia.]]
* KillEmAll: [[spoiler:The only way to survive.]]
* KilledOffForReal: You can all die in the Death Room.
* KnightInSourArmor: Dev tries to keep the peace, but don’t mistake him for one in shining armor.

* NotInTheFace: When they’re having mock fights, Dominic makes it clear that he doesn’t want his face injured. Evie feels the same way.

* ReplayValue: There’s an insane amount of choices. Not to mention, it’s worth it to play the Special Version at least once.

* ShamingTheMob: [[spoiler:More than once, Dev and Ambrosia attempt to convince the others not to resort to violence. It doesn’t work.]]
* ShipTease: Dev looks after Ambrosia on more than one occasion. Dominic flirts with both Ambrosia and Evie, [[spoiler:whom he partners with in an attempt to kill everybody else.]]
* TheStoic: Dev. Potentially, you.
* TattooedCrook: Possibly subverted by Dev. Whether or not he’s telling the truth, he claims that he has a tattoo for no particular reason.

-->''' Evie:''' Getting tattoos, maybe? Do you have any more that you’re hiding?

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Evie and Ambrosia, respectively. To a mild extent, that is. Evie does have quite a bit of femininity.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: [[spoiler:Everyone comes from a different world. So, if you aren't the one trapped in another world, then one of the others definitely are.]]

* TwistEnding: [[spoiler:There’s more than one, but the most notable one is when Ambrosia dies and you choose not to burn her body.]]
* UnlockableContent: If you beat the game, you’ll get to play a Special Version that gives the characters funny costumes. You’ll also unlock the bonus scene titled "The Love Room."
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: [[spoiler:Evie has white hair, and she’s definitely not to be trusted. When you work together with her, she even admits that she’s killed before. If you’re a female and you work together with her and Dominic, she also implies that she’s willing to commit torture. ]]
* WithUsOrAgainstUs. If you choose to say that you’re a wizard, Evie and Dev think you’re crazy, while Dominic believes you. When Ambrosia seems confused about the term of magic:

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dev has red hair, Dominic has blue, and Evie has white.

The premise of the Death Room is simple.

* LoveRedeems: [[spoiler:If you act head over heels for Dominic as a female, he will kill himself in the hopes that you can escape the Death Room. ]]

* ShamingTheMob. [[spoiler:More than once, Dev and Ambrosia attempt to convince the others not to resort to violence. It doesn’t work.]]

* [[spoiler:TrappedInAnotherWorld]]: [[spoiler:Everyone comes from a different world. So, if you aren't the one trapped in another world, then one of the others definitely are.]]

* [[spoiler:KillEmAll]]: [[spoiler:The only way to survive.]]

* NightmareFuel: You can suggest cannibalism. Evie tries to make it happen.

* [[spoiler:WhiteHairBlackHeart]]: [[spoiler:Evie has white hair, and she’s definitely not to be trusted. When you work together with her, she even admits that she’s killed before. If you’re a female and you work together with her and Dominic, she also implies that she’s willing to commit torture. ]]
