Shares a universe with ''Therapy with Dr. Albert Krueger'' by the same developer.

* AGodAmI: Monsieur M seeks to make himself an omniscient god by [[spoiler:researching and developing {{psychometry}}, which would allow him access to everyone's secrets. The cannibal cyborgs were created to be a new MasterRace, with their diet specifically designed to allow them to replace humans.]]

* BlatantLies: After answering all of Draco's questions correctly on pain of death, Draco assures the protagonist that he never intended to harm her. If she uses up all her chances or runs out of time to answer, he kills her without hesitation.

* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: When humans undergo the heavy mechanisation characteristic of the G4 Cyborg Incident, [[spoiler:successful mechanisation is very rare, and the failed cyborgs end up losing their sanity and structural integrity and becoming the bestial, mindless cannibals responsible for many of the game's {{jump scare}}s]].

* EliteFour: ICIJ is a task force answering directly to Monsieur M, the four members being [[spoiler:Claude the [[MasterOfDisguise Infiltrator]], the unseen [[ProfessionalKiller Chaser]], Vanora the [[GreatDetective Inspector]] and Dino the [[SuperSpeed Janitor]]]].

* {{Expy}}: Vincent is a reference to [[Franchise/AceAttorney Miles Edgeworth]]—not only do they share a surname, they are also both highly intelligent lawyers with M-shaped fringes and dignified, logical personalities. However, while Miles Edgeworth was falsely accused of using dirty tricks to win cases, Vincent [[spoiler:did use dirty tricks but was never exposed]].

* FakeMemories: [[spoiler:When clone-cyborgs are created, they're implanted with memory cores to give them individual personalities based on the memories contained. In chapter 4, Vincent reveals that the original Vanora has been dead for months, and the PlayerCharacter is simply a clone with her memories.]]
* FamilyEyeResemblance: Played with. As a clone, [[spoiler:Draco should resemble Vincent in all ways, but Vincent is shocked to find that Draco's eyes resemble ''Victor's'' original eyes, despite his only having Victor's memories and personality]].

* PunchClockVillain: Claude's role as the [[spoiler:Infiltrator]] is only a job to him, and he claims to have no interest in his boss's ideals. [[spoiler:It's also implied that the power he really serves is in the G3 district.]]

* {{Expy}}: Vincent is a reference to [[Franchise/AceAttorney Miles Edgeworth]]—not only do they share a surname, they are also both lawyers with dignified, logical personalities. However, while Miles Edgeworth was falsely accused of using dirty tricks to win cases, Vincent [[spoiler:did use dirty tricks but was never exposed]].

** Implied and with [[spoiler:Draco]], as he says that his life was empty before he met [[spoiler:Vanora]], although he doesn't specify if it's because he's a clone in general or because [[spoiler:he was made to be Vincent's secret weapon against Myers]].

* CloningBlues: Implied and downplayed with [[spoiler:Draco]], as he says that his life was empty before he met [[spoiler:Vanora]], although he doesn't specify if it's because he's a clone or because [[spoiler:he was made to be Vincent's secret weapon against Myers]].

* {{Psychometry}}: The protagonist has the power to see the memories of others by touching certain items.

* RedOniBlueOni: Vincent and Victor. Vincent is cold, rational and intellectual with little interest in socialising, while Victor is flirtatious, easygoing and far more sociable. To drive the point home, Victor even has red hair and red prosthetic arms.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Draco greatly resembles his brother Vincent to the point of looking like a younger version of him. Justified, as [[spoiler:it's later revealed that Draco is really Vincent's ''clone'']].

* DoubleAgent: [[spoiler:Claude]] teams up with [[spoiler:the Chaser]] over their aligned goals, which are not revealed to the player, but mean both of them have an interest in helping the protagonist remember her true self [[spoiler:despite Monsieur M's schemes.]]

* FakeMemories: [[spoiler:When clone-cyborgs are created, they're implanted with memory cores to give them individual personalities based on the memories contained. In chapter 4, Vincent reveals that the original Vanora has been dead for months, while the PlayerCharacter is simply a clone with her memories.]]

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Vincent trusts Victor with his life, saying that he needs him and doesn't want to imagine where he would be if he'd never befriended Victor or had him by his side. [[spoiler:During his chase sequence, Vanora deals him emotional damage by throwing Victor's harsher words in his face, and pointing out that Victor is human and will eventually leave him alone. The finishing mental blow is when she tears up the college photo of him with Victor, causing Vincent's deteriorating body to finally collapse.]]
