Both games can be found [[https://vgperson.com/games/yourturntodie.htm here]], where they can be downloaded or played on a browser for free. On 28 August 2022, it was announced that [[https://store.steampowered.com/app/2067780/Your%5C_Turn%5C_To%5C_Die%5C_Death%5C_Game%5C_By%5C_Majority/ the game would be released on Steam]] on late October. While the Steam version is paid, the original download and in-browser versions remain free, with the final chapter being added to those sometime after the Steam release.

** Since nearly all of the Dummies can be killed prior to the end of Chapter 3-1, their contributions to puzzles will generally be useless, making puzzles less noisy if they're dead. If their contributions are important, they will be reassigned to a living character.

** While you're investigating with Keiji in the second chapter, the first person you get to test Keiji's partner ability on is Nao. Keiji and Sara can both tell that Nao is hiding something, but with a three-hour time limit before the second Main Game starts, they're forced to set the matter aside. [[spoiler: It's that she started the game with the Sacrifice card and (initially) doesn't have enough tokens to trade it away.]]

* GoOutWithASmile: Played straight with [[spoiler:Alice in 2-1 if Reko survives. After she rejoins the group, Alice temporarily regains consciousness long enough to learn she's okay and hear her say she wants them to be siblings again. With that knowledge, Alice smiles and closes his eyes one last time]].

For games that can be aptly compared to ''Your Turn To Die'' in tone, setting and storytelling, see ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' and ''VisualNovel/ZeroEscape''.

* DemotedToExtra: All the Floor 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. [[spoiler: Midori thus far has only been offhandedly mentioned by the Sunnies if you're doing their events; from what little they say, he seems to be the one who brought them to the island and basically serves the same purpose to them that Miley does to the main group.]]

* VideoGameCaringPotential: On Day 28, Safalin will show up, being pursued by a Man-Eating Bird. You have the option to fight the bird off for her; if you do so, she'll open up her shop for you. Conveniently, this is also the only day she'll be selling Fuel, which you need to buy to unlock one of the endings.

* SadisticChoice: Natural for a game like this, both in and out of universe they occur.

* EveryoneHasStandards: In the 2-2 Main Game, absolutely everyone is horrified at [[spoiler: Nao's announcement that she and Sara can escape the game if Sara votes for her. But if the player actually chooses to go through with it, then no one directs their anger at Nao herself; they direct it at Sara for casting the vote that makes it possible, recognizing that while Nao's gambit was literally the ''only'' chance she had to live and thus born out of desperation, Sara choosing to vote for her is just Sara choosing to condemn them all to die so she can escape. If the player doesn't vote for Nao, then Nao herself even says that she didn't want to have to betray everyone, and the other survivors are understanding.]]

* LavaIsBoilingKoolAid: In the second puzzle of 3-1A, the group is stuck in a boxing ring with lava pouring in all around. If Sara examines the source of the lava, she realizes that the lava isn't emitting light, which means it's just a harmless liquid that's colored like lava. This gives one person the idea to wade through the liquid. Realistically, the group should have been able to tell that it's not lava simply because it wasn't cooking them alive.

* ThisIsADrill: [[spoiler:The banquet in 3-1B marks coffins that were previously chosen by a giant drill poking through the top of them. Since the drill has no blood, even when a human gets hit, it’s uncertain if the drill actually killed those inside, or if it’s just an intimidating marker]].

** The Floor Masters in general like to use this, since per their code, they aren't allowed to outright lie to the participants about information relevant to the game if asked directly. A few cases in point:
*** During the introductions on the third floor, Safalin introduces herself as the "Vice Floor Master" for the floor. [[spoiler: She never says that the co-Floor Master she's referring to is Ranger; she's actually referring to Gashu. If you read closely, Ranger himself never actually calls himself a Floor Master, either; he introduces himself as "The Dressup Doll" instead.]]
*** When asked who ordered her to show hospitality to the participants, Safalin's answer is, "The Floor Master." [[spoiler: She never says ''which'' Floor Master, and Sara herself immediately lampshades it by expressing doubt that Ranger was the one who issued such an order.]]

* ExactWords: "The Sage knows who the Keymaster is via divination, but cannot lie about the results of said divination." [[spoiler: Meaning that the Sage ''only'' sees who the Keymaster is, not what the Keymaster card actually looks like.]]
* ExhaustedEyeBags: A clear sign that somebody's gone through emotional trauma. Kanna's sporting them upon introduction, thanks to what happened to her sister, and others naturally gain them as they go through their own horrors.
* ExorcistHead: Courtesy of [[spoiler: the real Sou Hiyori,]] which helps prove that [[spoiler: while still technically human, he has replaced much of his body with doll parts, allowing for the spinning head.]]
* ExplosiveLeash: All of the participants are wearing collars, and Sue Miley teases the group by making it appear that she's setting one off, only to claim that they won't explode. [[spoiler:They're just capable of heating up enough to ''burn through your neck'' until you succumb. ''Much'' better. Reko's fake is also equipped with an explosive collar in Chapter 2 Part 1.]]

** Kanna grapples with the makings of a GuiltComplex over this due to her inability to prevent her sister from getting killed by their First Test.

** Deconstructed with Sara and Keiji, respectively a charismatic but emotionally traumatized teenager and a charming but quietly calculating police officer. Sara is quietly aware that Keiji refuses to put his trust in Sara but tries to manipulate her into putting her trust in him, and there are multiple instances throughout the game where he demonstrates this unapologetically. She also notes from the beginning of the game that when they first meet, Keiji has absolutely no reason to trust her over anyone else in the group, especially given her age and the situation they're in, but it doesn't take him long to start subtly pushing the cast towards trusting Sara to be the unofficial group leader. In addition, he eventually shows that when it comes down to it, he will prioritize the safety of himself and Sara over everyone else. All of this, combined with Keiji clearly keeping a lot of secrets from everyone else, gets some raised eyebrows from some of the other characters.

* ADayInTheLimelight: Currently the game is only this for Mishima and Kai, but it will eventually become this for all of the other selectable characters (other than Sara).

* DemotedToExtra: All the Floor 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. [[spoiler: Midori thus far has only been offhandedly mentioned by the Sunnies if you're doing their events.]]

* RetGone: Anyone who dies on the Isle of Memories is immediately erased from existence. [[spoiler: The survivors eventually notice a bag of personal belongings that none of them can identify, causing them to realize that they likely had another companion who met this fate.]]

* DemotedToExtra: All the Floor 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.
* 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 due to the nature of the whole DeathGame thing.

** The Tested Ones: Escape with Miley on Day 30 with all survivors alive. [[spoiler: On the mainland, Mishima will suddenly notice that he is being watched, revealing that he's actually an AI. The people monitoring him decide to defer to someone who appears to be Sara, who tells them to delete everything and start over.]]
** Existence in Tragedy: Escape with Miley on Day 30 with some but not all of the survivors dead. [[spoiler: Mishima will immediately rush home, but his senses cut out right as he makes it there.]]
** Solitary Escape: Escape with Miley on Day 30 with no one but Mishima alive. [[spoiler: Mishima will be happy to be home at first, but gradually realizes that he once had allies and can no longer remember what happened to them.]]

** Island's Collapse: Stay on the island until Day 40. [[spoiler: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The island collapses]], but right before it does, Mishima finds a diary from the creator of the island, who claims that someone else has taken it over and is using it for their own purposes.]]
** Sunnies Endings: Succeed at all of the Sunnies events and stay on the island until Day 40. [[spoiler: As the island begins collapsing, the protagonist rushes to the Sunnies' hut and finds them all safe. Afterwards, the protagonist will help the Sunnies' rebuild their hut and then stay with them from then on.]] Each protagonist's story has a different version of this ending, with an extended "Reunion" variant if certain characters significant to the protagonist have also survived to this point.[[note]]As of the current version of the game, Nao is the key character for Mishima and Sara is the key character for Kai.[[/note]]

* TomatoInTheMirror: [[spoiler: In the ending where everyone escapes the island with Miley, Mishima notices the windows and realizes that he's being watched. It's lampshaded by the people watching him, one of whom states that AIs becoming self-aware is more common than one might think.]]

** During one portion of the second Main Game, when it looks like the group has decided on someone to vote for, Nao becomes very insistent on continuing the discussion before they cast their votes, even though it's pointed out to her that she's a candidate for the final vote herself and could end up getting selected. [[spoiler: It's partly because she trying to figure out who it was that traded her the Sacrifice card, and partly because having said Sacrifice card means that she's going to die if the group doesn't vote for her.]]

** Ending 1: The first "real," labeled ending, [[spoiler:Massacre]], comes at the end of chapter 2-2 [[spoiler:should Sara choose to vote for Nao and escape with her rather than killing her as the sacrifice. Everyone else dies, and the two escape together, implicitly living out the rest of their lives together with this guilt.]]

* FiveSecondForeshadowing:

** Sunnies Endings: Succeed at all of the Sunnies events and stay on the island until Day 40. Each protagonist's story has a different version of this ending, with an additional "Reunion" variant if certain characters significant to the protagonist have also survived to this point.[[note]]As of the current version of the game, Nao is the key character for Mishima and Sara is the key character for Kai.[[/note]]

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 and Kai to be selected as playable characters, 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.

Both Your Turn To Die and Your Turn To Shine can be found [[https://vgperson.com/games/yourturntodie.htm here]], where they can be downloaded or played on a browser for free.

For games that can be aptly compared to ''Your Turn To Die'' in tone, setting and storytelling, compare to ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' and ''VisualNovel/ZeroEscape''.

'''SPOILER WARNING: The spin-off game Your Time To Shine contains spoilers up to Chapter 3-1 B of the main game. Spoilers for the main game will be unmarked in the Your Time To Shine folder.'''

** Chapter 3-1B makes one in that it assumes [[spoiler: Hayasaka and Anzu were saved.]] Meaning that if one was worried that a mistake carried throughout their save file and cut out some opportunities for them, they can easily avoid it entirely.

** The Keymaster - If the keymaster is voted to die, [[TotalPartyKill then everyone else will also die with them]]. This will happen even if there's a tie for first, as the keymaster role takes priority.
** The Sage - Knows who the keymaster is through divination, but can't lie about the results. [[spoiler:They can also use divination outside of the Main Game itself.]]
** The Sacrifice - Whoever is selected to die, the sacrifice will also die with them. However, if the sacrifice is chosen or there's a tie for first (excluding the Keymaster), then they'll be allowed to escape the game with one person of their choosing at the cost of everyone else. They also get two votes during the game itself.

** In Chapter 3-1, the minigames and/or the banquet lead to [[spoiler:the Dummies getting picked off one by one. In the end, one of Mai, Hayasaka, or Kurumada can remain intact but dormant alongside a Doll of the recently deceased Q-Taro.]]

* FailureToSaveMurder: Kanna grapples with the makings of a GuiltComplex over this due to her inability to prevent her sister from getting killed by their First Test. Later on, [[spoiler:poor Sara]] struggles with similar sentiments, though in a different way. [[spoiler:Joe's pain was only prolonged by her attempts to save him, while she couldn't bring herself to overcome Nao's begging for life to kill her instantly and ease hers.]]
* FaintInShock: Right before participating in the Main Game in chapter one part two, Sara comments that there is the sound of somebody fainting in a different room. Given the circumstances, this would likely be either [[spoiler:Joe or Kai, who have at this point learned that the cards they received, the Sacrifice and Sage respectively, are likely to result in their deaths.]]
* {{Fanservice}}: Surprisingly, for a game like this. Chapter 2-1 includes [[spoiler:a scene of Sara, Reko, Nao, and Kanna all bathing together]].

** In 3-1, [[spoiler: while the party is searching the library, Gin will find a firecracker. Choosing to use it sets the entire library ablaze and the party along with it.]]

** [[spoiler: The Hades Incident involved the higher-ups of multiple crime rings engaging in a killing game in order to unify under one criminal leader. It collapsed soon after, as it turns out having a Death Game on top of the numerous losses from slaughtering each other didn't leave much in the way of members.]]
** [[spoiler: Despite Nao doing her absolute best to FaceDeathWithDignity, she freaks out and panics all the way to her death soon after, which is the natural reaction anyone would have when their CruelAndUnusualDeath is made up of being crushed slowly by a metal vice.]]
