* ArcWords: Inherits many from Danganronpa, such as "Hope", "despair", "talent", "killing", "traitor", and "Ultimate".

* WhamEpisode: Chapter 4 ends with a video message that turns the story up on it's head: [[spoiler: Monobert is not the real Herbert, but just a robot copy. The real Herbert is trapped inside in his underground base thanks to the force fields, and has been communicating secretly with Klutzy to help the surviving penguins escape. Monobert is revealed to be programmed to make up information that would make sense, meaning he could be lying about everything, and that he can't respond to things he doesn't expect to happen. So, Klutzy made a plan to do something completely unexpected to send out the video message and something else... [[HeroicSacrifice which is by killing himself.]]]]
* WhamLine: [[spoiler: Chapter 5 has some serious ones when the heroes the EPF hideout. They discover some case files that claim everything that happened after Mission 11 in the original game did... and it's apparently 2017 instead of 2012 like they all remember.]]

* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Herbert's transformation into Monobert has also seen him go from a gruff antisocial loner with a {{MoralityPet}} who wants to evict the penguins and build a tropical paradise, to a sadistic murderous psychopath who won't even spare his former sidekick Klutzy. [[spoiler: That's not really the case, though...]]

* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Every Chapter's murders is different, and every punishment is tailored to the perpetrator.

* RecurringElement: Inherits many of these from Danganronpa

* MythologyGag: When Dot takes over as POV character, she has a traditional [[ahoge IdiotHair]] from bed head, like the original Danganronpa protagonists had in their series.

* ADayInTheLimelight: In Chapter 4, Agent suffers a HeroicBSOD at the start of the murder investigation, leaving Dot to take over.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Than Club Penguin, though it portrays the light-hearted nature of the series inbetween grisly murders, at least early on.

* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:In Chapter 4, Klutzy kills himself because of despair.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone refers to Agent as Agent. [[spoiler:Even Agent themself doesn't remember what their true name is.]]
