History VisualNovel / YourTurnToDie

* TheFriendsWhoNeverHang: This side game, in addition to expanding on the protagonists of the game, has the added benefit of averting this, as it guarantees at least six significant one-on-one conversations for every character once both sides take the spotlight. Notable, as ''Your Turn To Die'' did have a fair share of participants who never saw much opportunity to interact with one another.

* NonIndicativeName: PlayedWith. "Fondness Events" ''tend'' to involve two characters getting closer together in some way, but it can easily involve ComicalOverreacting, RuleOfFunny, or characters simply being confused about the other. A particular stand out is Kai's Fondness Events with Keiji, which not only lack anything resembling warmth, but also shows their incompatibility with one another.

** For most of the characters whose personal info you can buy, this information is given to you in the form of AI versions of them in the Monitor Room answering your questions. The exception is Nao, whose information is contained in documents. [[spoiler: This is because Nao doesn't have an AI, which turns out to be because she was never supposed to make it to the Main Game at all.]]
** In contrast with the game, the manga shows that Sara [[spoiler:has a ''very'' selfish way of thinking when both she and Joe are trapped, which shows how she can really be when not hindered by emotion. In contrast, this wasn't fully shown until 2-2.]]

* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Inverted - Everyone's portraits have unnaturally pure white skintones, except in [=CGs=], where they have more natural skintones, but remain extremely pale, in extreme contrast to their [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair wildly varied hair colors]] and vibrant, almost EGA graphics-inspired color coordination.

A SpinOff side-game called ''Your Time to Shine: Island Existence'' has also been developed, which is a [[ConstructionAndManagementGames resource managing]] AlternateUniverse with MultipleEndings. The current version is a "test" version that only allows Mishima to be selected as the player character, but more characters are planned for future versions. Note that ''Your Time to Shine'' contains spoilers up to the end of Chapter 2 of the main series.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: Due to the dynamics of being trapped on an island to survive being different than a death game and enforces far more cooperation than paranoia, the protagonist is going to have a different relationship with certain survivors. For example: Mishima initially had Kanna be unwilling to trust him unless Sara and Joe backed up his lie, Kanna now looks to Mishima as someone to go to for personal issues. Similarly, the tense and antagonistic relationship between Kai and Sou is replaced for genuine bonding between the two.

* LighterAndSofter: While the game can have its bouts of NightmareFuel and FridgeHorror, ''Your Time To Shine'' is far more relaxed and softer than its Main Game counterpart. This is emphasized by both the large absence of Floor Masters and the existence of Fondness Events, the latter of which serve as either heartwarming moments of hilarious moments, with often times it being both.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: There's a veritable ''rainbow'' of hair colors, from Sara's orange to Q-taro and Nao's vivid reds, Kanna's light green and Sou's teal... The absolute standout of this has to go to the convict [[spoiler:Alice]], however, who has natural blue bangs with a green and pink-striped buzzcut. Second place may go to Naomichi, whose hair is something of a gradient from dark blue to light green.

This is emphasized by both the large absence of Floor Masters and Fondness Events, which serve as either heartwarming moments of hilarious moments, with often times it being both.

** There's a ''lot'' of save files and an ability to save at nearly any point of the game, which means it's very easy to perform SaveScumming and either undo mistakes or take alternate actions that wouldn't have been a thought before. Chapter 2-1 encourage the latter, as it's the only way you could either get personal information about Nao, Reko, Gin and Q-Taro, or do Alice's sidequest or social events with other participants that expands on their character.

For example: Mishima initially had Kanna be unwilling to trust him unless Sara and Joe backed up his lie, Kanna now looks to Mishima as someone to go to for personal issues. Similarly, the tense and antagonistic relationship between Kai and Nao is replaced for a genuine friendship between the two.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Currently the game is only this for Mishima, but it will eventually become this for all of the other selectable characters (other than Sara).
* DemotedToExtra: All the Foor Masters are hit with this to a degree, but Ranger is reduced to being the game's tips, and Gashu is now the Island's DJ.
* LighterAndSofter: While the game can have its bouts of NightmareFuel and FridgeHorror, ''Your Turn To Shine'' is far more relaxed and softer than its Main Game counterpart. This is emphasized by both the large absence of Floor Masters and Fondness Events, which serve as either heartwarming moments of hilarious moments, with often times it being both.

* FiveManBand: All of the floor masters introduced so far appear to have this setup.
** BigBad: [[spoiler:Midori]], who acts as an active threat throughout all of chapter 3 and nearly gets several characters killed.
** TheDragon: Miley, the ArcVillain of chapter 1-2 who appears to have a [[DragonWithAnAgenda hidden agenda of her own]].
** TheEvilGenius: Gashu, the stoic receptionist who is so dedicated to the death game that he's willing to [[spoiler:end his life to continue it]].
** TheBrute: Ranger, the most aggressive of the floor masters who has an intense hatred of humans.
** TheDarkChick: Safalin, the most passive and sometimes polite of the floor masters who occasionally helps the participants out.

** 2-2 is much more substantial; though it still stops short of vilifying either option, the creative attention and consequences very heavily skew in one's favor. [[spoiler:Voting for Kanna doesn't end well for all 3 people involved; Kanna [[CruelAndUnusualDeath dies an agonizing death]], Sou is left [[ThenLetMeBeEvil deeply vengeful]], and Sara ends up suffering TraumaInducedAmnesia after being blamed for it by Joe's malicious AI. Voting for Sou, on the other hand, has Kanna disavow her MartyrWithoutACause mindset, Sara managing to [[EpiphanyTherapy get closure with Joe]], and even Sou [[PeacefulInDeath dies peacefully and with dignity]]. In addition, Sou's death prevents Ranmaru from JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope in 3-1B, thus ensuring the spared Yabusame's continued survival.]]

** That said, the victim videos reveal this is partially due to [[spoiler: many female participants having already died in the first trial, offscreen]], [[spoiler: Alice's route eventually picks up in tone and contains more information on the real Sou omitted from Reko's route]], and the possible [[spoiler: (and eventually unavoidable)]] deaths in Chapter 3 are more evenly split by gender. By the start of the final half-chapter, [[spoiler:two out of three of the only characters unable to die under any circumstances (Sara, Keiji, Gin) are male, meaning it's possible to reduce the cast to a sole female but not vice-versa. In fact, it's the circumstance with the most possibilities, as even if Reko and Sou are brought into 3-1, the circumstances of that route kill the other Yabusame off, while no such thing happens with Kanna]].
** So overall, out of 20 participants 9 are girls and 6 of them always die by the end of 3-1. Out of 11 male participants, 7 always die. And if you consider the Floor Masters, [[spoiler:all male ones die and all female ones survive, however, fake Hinako dies as well, while Gin, in her age group, has managed to survive despite constantly ending up in perilous situations]].

A SpinOff side-game called ''Your Time to Shine: Island Existence'' has also been developed, which is a [[ConstructionAndManagementGames resource managing]] AlternateUniverse with MultipleEndings. Currently, the test version only allows you to play as Mishima. Note that ''Your Time to Shine'' contains spoilers up to the end of Chapter 2 of the main series.

* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Your Time to Shine'', fitting the title, is this for anyone besides Sara who one might choose as its protagonist.

Information known about him, his personality, and his background ballooned because of it, and he even gets to interact with Alice!]]
