7	!!This fic contains examples of the following:
8	* AdaptationalAngstUpgrade: The entire future 1-A class, some of the future 1-B class, and Mei from UA will be suffering from the trauma of being sent into horror games where they can die repeatedly.
9	* AdultsAreUseless: Played with. The adults are doing the best they can in the face of an unprecedented act of Villainy where thousands of children are kidnapped and forced to go through horrible things where anyone can watch them, but without any means of actually helping them, this causes the adults to ''feel'' useless about themselves.
10	* BreakingTheFourthWall: In-Universe. Ruvic realizes that Izuku isn't the detective and calls him out on it.
11	* BroughtDownToNormal: Being brought into the game world has temporarily taken away the kids' ability to use their quirks.
12	* CaughtOnTape: Several digitalized disappearances were caught on camera. Tsuyu disappeared while right next to Habuko in a shop, Mei disappeared in a workshop and described how she felt like she was being transported, and Izuku panics while talking on a web video chat.
13	* ContentWarnings: Chapter 4 has a trigger warning for ''"Acts of extreme violence, description of injuries and death in this chapter."''
14	* ExplainExplainOhCrap: The reporters who receive footage of what is happening quickly realize that they're basically watching Red Rooms.
15	* IronicHell: Tensei thinks Tenya is trapped in Outlast because he would be forced to do something that is simply anathema to not just Tenya, but any Iida, sneaking and hiding in shadows when they were born and bred for speed and Tenya specifically tends to be overt, brash and outspoken.
16	%%** Katsuki can't fight and yell his way through his problems.
17	%%** Momo has to ration what she has and can't instantly make a solution.
18	%%** Ochako is in space like she always wanted, but is being hunted by monsters.
19	%%** Mineta is surrounded by hot girls, but they're yanderes with reality warping powers.
20	* MassiveMultiplayerCrossover: With many different Horror Games. Izuku is in ''VideoGame/TheEvilWithin''. Katsuki is in ''Franchise/SilentHill''. Iida is in ''{{VideoGame/Outlast}}''. Momo is in ''Franchise/ResidentEvil''. Ochako is in ''VideoGame/DeadSpace''. Mineta is in ''VideoGame/DokiDokiLiteratureClub''. Shoto is in ''VideoGame/FatalFrame''. Kendo is in ''VideoGame/DarkSouls''.
21	* TheManyDeathsOfYou: Each time a trapped kid dies in a game, it is not final and their death counter goes up by one. Even veteran Heroes are nauseous at the idea that they're going to keep seeing the kids die until they either escape or the death becomes permanent.
22	* MissingChild: The parents of 5000 kids have to handle the fact that their kids are trapped in horror video games with the possibility of dying repeatedly. The reactions seen so far include Inko, Denki's mother, Tensei, Endeavour (mostly shows rage, but we haven't seen his inner thoughts), and Asui's Parents.
23	* MyGreatestFailure: All Might believes All for One is behind the kidnapping of five-thousand children in a single night, not believing anyone else is capable of such a feat, which causes him a lot of guilt in not making ''absolutely sure'' his arch-nemesis is dead.
24	* OhCrap: The kids upon realizing how bad of a situation they're trapped in.
25	** Izuku when faced with Ruvic's supernatural powers and trapped in the basement with a sadistic butcher that he has to outmaneuver. A second one when Ruvic reveals he knows he isn't the detective, followed by hearing a chainsaw behind him.
26	** Momo when she sees Joseph Frost die and can't use her quirk to the point she has to get dragged off by the others to survive.
27	** Shouto as he is exploring the mansion gets a terrible feeling that something's wrong.
28	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Joseph Oda is this for Izuku in the game by quickly believing some of his claims about not being Sebastian and giving him advice on what to do.
29	* SkewedPriorities: Mineta is in a weird situation where there a bunch of hot girls, and he decides to just go along with it enthusiastically.
30	* TemptingFate: Mineta thinks he died and went to heaven at the start of his game, Doki Doki Literature Club. What he doesn't know is that the main villain of that game is a terrifying RealityWarper.
31	* TimedMission: There is a countdown for each trapped child on how long they have to free themselves before they are terminated. What actually happens when time runs out is not clear, but it clearly isn't good.
32	* ThatWasNotADream: Ochako after getting thrown around in a spaceship crash and being unable to use her quirk quickly realizes this is not just a nightmare.
33	* TraumaButton: Everything Shouto is going through in his death game brings up horrible memories of Endeavour losing Touya.
