This video game provides examples of the following tropes:
- Adaptational Personality Change: Dear god, Jaxter. While in Here For Sweethearts he was a serious hall monitor, here he's an adult and a serial killer.
- Big Eater: Fia adores eating, especially candy. In fact, the game happens because she wants to eat sweets before going to bed. Over the course of the game, she eats, in addition to a variety of other sweets, a whole plate of cookies, a whole box of chocolates, and an entire pie and gives no indication of feeling sick afterwards. Keep in mind that she's also only a toddler and should not have the stomach capacity to eat so much.
- The Cameo: Fia's uncle is an aged up Jaxter, from Here For Sweethearts.
- Chekhov's Gunman: Fia's uncle Jaxter is briefly mentioned when you talk to Fia's mother in the beginning. The True Ending reveals that he was the bloodied figure Fia saw outside.
- Children Are Innocent: Fia is this in spades. The true ending puts this in a darker light as she fails to understand that her uncle Jaxter is a murderer.
- Content Warning: There's one warning of the game containing blood.
- Disappeared Dad: Fia's father is implied to have died prior to the game.
- Multiple Endings: There are three:
- At the very beginning, you can go to bed immediately, and Fia will simply sleeps, thinking "sweets can wait till tomorrow".
- In the Normal ending, Fia sneaks out and eats a number of candy (anything from 0 to 10) then goes back home and sleeps. The next morning, her mother greet her and gives her a cookie for breakfast.
- In the true ending, Fia eats all 11 candies, then goes back home. The next morning, her mother asks her if she had any nice dreams. Fia will answer that she did, and that her uncle Jaxter was there. The final shot reveals that the silhouetted figure covered in blood was Jaxter.
- Never Say "Die": Fia's mother doesn't outright tell her that her dad is dead, instead he's gone somewhere neither of them can reach.
- Nothing Is Scarier: We don't know who Uncle Jaxter killed, why he killed them, and what is going to happen to Fia and her mother when he comes home, if he even does.
- Posthumous Character: Fia's dad.
- Sweet Tooth: Fia absolutely loves treats and candy.
- Surprisingly Creepy Moment: The game is fairly chill and saccharine for most of it, with Fia merely going around town to eat sweets and no indication of anything being particularly wrong. And then Fia sees someone walking out of an alleyway with and axe and covered with blood. Made worse when it turns out that that someone is her uncle, who lives with her and her mother.
- Tomato Surprise: Fia witnesses someone coming out of the alleyway with a weapon and covered in blood. It's only revealed to us in the true ending that she recognized the person: her uncle Jaxter.
- Unknown Character: We never find out who exactly Jaxter killed and what the motive was..
- Unnamed Parent: Both of Fia's parents.
- Wham Line: In the true ending:Fia: Uncle! Uncle Jaxter was there!
- Wham Shot:
