* CompanyCrossReferences: The food depicted in the "Gourment Gastronomy" MR event cards are references to the dishes made in sister game ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact''. Vyn's dish is the Jade Parcels, Artem's dish is the Crab Roe Tofu, Luke's dish is Come and Get It, and Marius's dish is the Golden Shrimp Balls.

* ShoutOut: It's subtle, but the characters all have pupils shaped like four-pointed stars, the defining physical trait of [[VideoGame/GenshinImpact someone from Khaenri'ah]] and [[VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd a certain most destructive Herrscher]]. It might even be an author's thumbprint of some sorts, since both games are made by the same company.

* DubNameChange: Each character has a different name in each language. For example, the main male leads are the following...

* NoPronunciationGuide: It isn’t immediately clear how NXX is supposed to sound. Does it sound like Nyx as in the name of the goddess of the night, fitting with the Myth/ClassicalMythology motif, or is it an acronym [[spoiler: for a lethal drug that connects the case anomalies]]? The Japanese dub, at least, splits the difference by calling it [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin N-2-X]].

A VisualNovel [[OtomeGame otome]] game by Chinese game developer [[Creator/MiHoYo miHoYo]] of [[VideoGame/GenshinImpact Genshin Impact]] and [[VideoGame/HonkaiImpact3rd Honkai Impact 3rd]] fame. It was initially released in Chinese only in 2020, but has since been greenlit for an international release. The game has officially launched on July 29, 2021. Its original name is 未定事件簿 (''wèidìng shìjiàn bù''/''mitei jiken-bo'', lit. 'Undecided case files' - the same name for X-Note in-game).

** Notably, in contrast to aforementioned game, this one features voice acting, [[NoDubForYou in all languages but English]], and the voice will use the character names associated with their localization. For example, the written dialogue will read ''Pedro Brooks'' but the voice (if the player chose Japanese) addressing this name will very audibly say ''Ishihara Kaito''.

* AntiPoopSocking: The game runs on a stamina system, which regenerates at 1 per 6 minutes. Considering that daily grinding stages use up to 20 of it per run (if one takes all of the stages at their most high difficulty), expect a lot of waiting if you don't use S-Chips or restoring drinks. The only other option are to somehow gain a new level, which is a LevelUpFillUp.

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 3-1 from Luke's Lost Gold route. Luke finds Joshua, and sends MC away. [[spoiler: After which he breaks out a face that he has not even shown before, [[DullEyesOfUnhappiness light completely gone from his eyes]] and a blank expression, and starts to verbally threaten Joshua. He even dons a SlasherSmile when showing him a syringe, saying that he could use a muscle relaxant to leave Joshua paralyzed for Jack, who wants to kill Joshua]].

* WeWillNotUsePhotoshopInTheFuture: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]], the game mainly relies on written files and recorded things when it comes to evidence.

* WakeUpCallBoss: Not in the main story, but in the event 'Lost Gold'. The fourth 'Mediation' features a boss that has roughly 94,000 power. Since it debuted a month after the game was globally released, most players had not hit 100,000 power themselves yet - and the boss in the latest chapter released as of then has around 50,000 power.

** When comparing cards' similarly-named skills, there's actually a distinction on whose skill is stronger than the other. This is made possible using the skills' names having Greek letters as their suffix. For example in descending order, "Layer by Layer α", "Layer by Layer β", "Layer by Layer γ".

* AntiPoopSockingMeasures: The energy potions are all dated, making it so that you cannot save them up forever.

* TryEverything: The game sometimes requires this when an answer is not something that is outright said, only implied, in which case you need to present all the evidence [[note]] [[AntiFrustrationFeatures Luckily, the game marks which ones you've already done]] [[/note]] until you have tried everything and can continue the story. If you're not able to divine some of the less obvious hints, you'll be doing this during every trial. Thankfully, the game doesn’t make note of multiple tries and treats it as though you presented the correct evidence from the start.

* ColorCodedCharacters: It’s more subtle than other examples but if dialogue boxes are anything to go by it’s orange for Luke, green for Vyn, red for Artem, and purple for Marius. [=NPCs=] are generally gray, and everyone’s dialogue boxes change to dark green during trials.

* AnimalMotifs: Snakes for Marius, due to the logo of his company. Specifically, an {{Ouroboros}} forming the infinity sign. The elaborate version of his symbol puts it in front of a cross, making it resemble Nehushtan. On the cards used for Old Maid, he's symbolized with a dragon-like snake with a single horn on its head.
