History VisualNovel / MostWanted

* NotSoDifferent: If the player pays to have Reza tag along to Venice Beach, he will convince Jessica to surrender by relating to her about how being smart isolates her from others.

* CutShort: ''Most Wanted'' is one of the stories that were canceled by Pixelberry.

Most Wanted is part of the Pixelberry Studios (creators of VideoGame/HighSchoolStory and VideoGame/HollywoodURisingStars) game, ''VisualNovel/ChoicesStoriesYouPlay''.

The game has a similar story and is a spiritual sequel to ''VisualNovel/CauseOfDeath'', and according to [[https://www.facebook.com/CauseofDeathEA/photos/a.178650422164039.46576.178647222164359/1400195613342841/?type=3&permPage=1 the latest post made on that game's Facebook page]], it even shares some of its creators.

There is currently only one book, Book 1, out. A second book has been promised, but no release date is currently set. As of Book 1, the top-level plot of the book is that Detective Dave Reyes of the LAPD, and the from-Texas US Marshal Samantha Massey, are going after fugitive John Tull, a notorious and dangerous hitman.

* BigNo: Chapter 14 has John Tull yell one out [[spoiler:when he's sucked out of the plane while holding a live grenade.]]

* {{Cliffhanger}}: [[spoiler: The book ends with Sam and Dave finding out that someone decapitated Hayley Rose.]]

* SoCalization: The case takes place in Los Angeles. Sam flies all the way from Texas to catch Tull herself. The difference between Dave and Sam is more defined by their hometowns.

* DecoyProtagonist: At the start of the game, you can pick a character appearance and choose their name, just like with most ''Choices'' stories. However, this character inevitably dies in the first scene trying to stop Tull; for the rest of the book, it's Dave and Sam who are the protagonists/playable characters.

* EmotionallyTongueTied: Dave is. Every time Sam asks him about his past or anything remotely personal, Dave changes the subject and doesn't respond. You'll over have to spend diamonds just to get him to talk about a small detail about his life.

* ItsPersonal: Sam to John Tull.

** Hayley Rose looks more than a little like Music/TaylorSwift.

** Hayley Rose looks more than a little like Creator/TaylorSwift.

** In some chapters, this is actually averted. If you press any choice, you'll end up dead and having to start over from a checkpoint.

* DecoyProtagonist: One of these is at the start of the game just to tutorialize new players. An update allows you to choose who the unlucky character is.

* MenUseViolenceWomenUseCommunication: Inverted. Dave tends to try to solve problems by talking, while Sam tends to shoot first and ask questions later. Sam even mocks Dave for this in one scene when they are surrounded by flames and she sarcastically suggests that he can talk the fire into leaving them alone.

During Sam's farewell party, she yells angrily at Sam because she is leaving her without her new muse.
* TakingYouWithMe: During the fight against John Tull and [[spoiler: Hayley Rose,]] in chapter 14, he takes out a live grenade eager to take out everyone on the plane, [[spoiler:including his own daughter.]]
