5	The visual novel can be accessed via Platform/{{Steam}} and itch.io.

7	----
8	[[PlayerCharacter You]] (aka Yuki) are an ordinary high school student who befriends four cute girls and joins a club together to make friends and avoid responsibilities.
9
10	The club members are:
11	* '''K-T''': [[{{Chuunibyou}} A small chuuni]]. She thinks and acts like an android, and is the only member of the games club at the start of the visual novel.
12	* '''Tifa''': [[{{GirlNextDoor}} A literal girl next door]]. Like you, she enjoys gaming and avoiding social contact. Considering all the fanservice involving her, [[AuthorAppeal the developer has an obvious bias]].
13	* '''Stacey''': [[RichBitch A rich, beautiful]] and [[AlphaBitch popular]] [[StudentCouncilPresident Student Council President]]. Who loves all the admiration that comes with the title, but not the duties that come with it.
14	* And the elusive '''Alex''', [[CoolBigSis Stacey's]] [[TheDragon assistant and best friend.]] She keeps up appearances but is known for having a [[BadLiar silver tongue.]]
15
16	----
17	!! This game provides examples of:
18
19	* AccidentalPervert: The player walks into a room where Tifa's is changing on no less than three occasions.
20	* ACupAngst: Alex keeps many of her emotional secrets, so Stacey enjoys teasing her, calling her the chairman of the 'itty bitty titty committee'.
21	* AlphaBitch: For all of ten seconds. She gives up the act the moment she doesn't need to keep up appearances.
22	* AlternateCharacterReading: K-T's name. When written/read looks like a machine designation, but when spoken aloud is 'Katie'.
23	* BeachEpisode: Every main route ends in a visit to a beach resort.
24	* BigLittleSister: Despite being treated like the youngest, K-T is actually a dependable older sister to her younger brother.
25	* TheBigGirl: Alex and Tifa tower over the other girls.
26	* BlandNameProduct: References to popular video games are made frequently, albeit with a few letters jumbled around.
27	* BustContrastDuo: Tifa vs Stacey. But since Alex is so flat, one could argue Stacey vs Alex also counts.
28	* CantHoldHerLiquor: Stacey becomes reckless when drunk, leading to shenanigans.
29	* ChickMagnet: Despite being a reclusive gamer with no social contact, the girls in the club just can't seem to get enough of him.
30	* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Tifa x Yuki. Although she only starts to make a move when there's a rivalry.
31	* {{Chuunibyou}}: K-T through and through. She acts like a robot, you'd be forgiven for believing her if she didn't sometimes forget.
32	* ClubPresident: K-T (by default) as she's the only member of the games club.
33	* CloudCuckooLander: K-T to a T. But the longer you spend talking with her, the more the chuuni facade erodes.
34	* CoolBigSis: Alex is mature and dependable, or at least, that's what she wants you to think.
35	* CosplayOtakuGirl: Tifa has multiple outfits and is eager to show them off to impress Yuki specifically.
36	* DatingSim: Each of the game's routes ends in a romantic date. In K-T's case, the entire route is a succession of dates.
37	* DefeatMeansFriendship: Defeating the Big Bad (Stacey) and her Dragon (Alex) instantly ends hostilities.
38	* EmbarrassingHobby: One of many things Alex wants to keep secret, her penchant for [[{{Toku}} super sentai.]]
39	* {{Fanservice}}: Excessive, yet somehow still gets away with a PEGI 12 rating.
40	* FeaturelessProtagonist: Yuki, the namable protagonist is never shown. But according to Stacey, he is 'cute'.
41	* FeminineWomenCanCook: Tifa seems to be the only one capable of preparing a meal.
42	* {{Flanderization}}: Alex's cool, elusive demeanor is in tatters by the time 'I Dated A Robot' came out, reduced to a punchbag.
43	* HaremGenre: Four gorgeous girls and no one else you have to share them with.
44	* HighSchool: The game's setting appears to be Japanese high school.
45	* IdiotHair: K-T's signature cowlick is a clear indication of her strangeness.
46	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Stacey never loses her wicked streak, but she deeply cares for her friends.
47	* JustFriends: Tifa x Yuki. The two are shown to flirt in each other's company but nothing more.
48	* LoveConfession: The last line of any route.
49	* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: While the entire story never ventures into the extraordinary, the game cartridge in Trick and Treat has questionably magical properties.
50	* NerdGlasses: K-T has huge thick-rimmed glasses that dominate her face.
51	* TheNicknamer: Stacey gives each other character [[InsultOfEndearment patronising, yet endearing nicknames.]]
52	* ObliviousToLove: Much to Tifa's frustration. The game's reviews even mention how the player character is especially dense.
53	* OlderThanTheyLook: They're all 18 years old. Even the diminutive K-T.
54	* OrWasItADream: [[spoiler:Momo the ghost's laugh]] can be heard without bitcrushing at the end of Trick or Treat, and her navbox temporarily switches from pixel-based to regular.
55	* ReferenceOverdosed: Quotes and references to both popular and obscure video games, anime, movies are abundant and not restricted to any one character.
56	* RoseHairedSweetie: No matter what happens, Tifa always remains cordial and sweet. She even has the correct hair and eye colour.
57	* ProductPlacement: Promotional material for the author's other works appears at the convention.
58	* SchoolClubsAreSeriousBusiness: The conflict for the opening chapter features inter-club politics.
59	* ShelteredAristocrat: Stacey has never tasted commoner food or taken public transport, and [[IvoryTower she's not about to let that change.]]
60	* ShoutOut:
61	** Tifa's [[{{ShoutOut/PewDiePie}} epic gamer chair.]]
62	** K-T's [[{{Characters/CoffinPrincessChaika}} "Shocking truth!".]]
63	** K-T's [[{{Franchise/Gundam}} cardboard Gundam.]]
64	** K-T [[VisualNovel/SteinsGate microwaving a banana.]]
65	* {{Sleepyhead}}: Adorable scene where you have to wake K-T with repeated button prompts.
66	* StudentCouncilPresident: Stacey, although she's eager to rid herself of the title.
67	* TechnicolorEyes: While everyone's eyes are especially colourful, Alex's purple eyes are practically glowing.
68	* ThisIsReality: When Tifa finds a spooky haunted gaming cartridge, they play it off as something that only happens in fiction, despite being fiction.
69	* TwoDVisualsThreeDEffects: The game's 100+ incredibly diverse backgrounds in various lighting conditions would have cost a fortune if painted manually, so stock 3D assets are used to do the heavy lifting.
