10	!!Tropes that appear in this work:
11
12	* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Willie was DeadAllAlong, and the classroom is basically his own personal purgatory, subconsciously created from [[IronicHell his regret of never letting Liza know his feelings, and the fear of being rejected by her.]]]] Willie confesses to Julie that he's not exactly sure about what he expects from declaring his feelings to Liza, [[IJustWantMyBelovedToBeHappy he still wishes to see her happy all the same]]. Come Ending 20, and [[spoiler:Julie does exactly that, leaving the cake that Willie bought moments before his death at Liza's desk, as a last gesture.]]
13	* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:The final ending reveals that everything Willie goes through is a result of his being dead and reliving his past failures. Julie, by extension, is [[{{Shinigami}} "something like a demon"]] that [[AudienceSurrogate decided to watch the events unfold since circa the second loop, out of curiosity]].]]
14	* DisguisedHorrorStory: The game is pretty innocent for a while, until the player finds a knife, and [[spoiler:Liza becomes a wraith-like creature]] in the "Mutated Room". And then one of the possible endings that can only happen immediately after that involves [[spoiler:Willie himself losing his temper and ''stabbing Liza dead''!]]
15	* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler:Several bad endings hint out the events of ''VideoGame/TransparentBlack'', such as the knife in the drawer and Demonic!Liza]].
16	* GuideDangIt: Being able to access the "Mutated Room" and get the final few endings, as the player must complete multiple unrelated steps in the short amount of time they have-- and this only gives a one in three shot, so players who do it correctly unknowingly may still never find out how to actually access the "Mutated Room".
17	* GroundhogDayLoop: The game keeps on repeating, with Willie trying every single day to win Liza's heart. This is a result of [[spoiler:Willie's being dead]].
18	* IncompatibleOrientation: Ending 9 has [[spoiler:Liza confessing to Willie that she likes girls when he confesses his feelings for her. Downplayed, since she's actually Julie in disguise.]]
19	* IsometricProjection: The game takes on an isometric perspective.
20	* LoveMartyr: [[spoiler: Willie died on his way to confess his love to Liza, who didn't even know who he was. When she learns of it later, she doesn't seem to care about his sacrifice.]]
21	* MultipleEndings: Twenty, to be exact; and many require finding a number of other endings before they can be unlocked.
22	* RevealingContinuityLapse: During each repetition, minor things change around the room, such as the sudden appearance of a new character named Julie, the title screen characters becoming silhouettes, and the discovery of a knife, showing things slowly becoming stranger and darker.
23	* SanitySlippage: Willie goes through one after enough endings had passed and the player gains access to the "Mutated Room". In this special ending, [[spoiler:Liza turns into a demon and attempts to kill Willie]]. Back in the real world, Willie then gets flashbacks about the event, freaks out, and [[spoiler:stabs Liza.]]
24	* SchoolSettingSimulation: The game takes place in a single school classroom for the entire duration of the game. You play as Willie, who is stuck in a GroundhogDayLoop of trying to confess his love for Liza, just before they leave class. As such, waiting too long to talk to her and allowing her to leave the school triggers at least [[MultipleEndings two endings.]]
