- Achievement System: The game's Steam achievements cover everything from seeing the game's various endings to throwing yourself out of a window to your death, or literally naming your character "Achievement Hunting".
- Alternate Universe: Stella gives the protagonist a lecture about parallel universes on the Second Day of the game, and it becomes more relevant in the game's hidden third ending.
- Arc Number: The number 119 is repeated constantly throughout the game:
- It's printed on Stella's hoodie.
- It's the age of the world's oldest edible ham.
- It's the price of pickles on the menu of Uncle Mugen's café.
- It's the number for emergency services in Japan.
- The cash amounts on the Wheel of Woe are all multiples of 119.
- The Great Betrayal occurred 119 years ago.

- Arc Words: "At my last high school... I was unpopular... I was ignored... and I always walked home by myself" is repeated several times throughout the story.
- Art Shift: Being a no-budget indie title, the game mixes stock assets with artwork done by multiple people, resulting in wildly clashing styles.
- Japanese School Club: The Murder Club is one of these, although it isn't "officially recognised" by the school's faculty. For some reason.
- School Clubs Are Serious Business: The main character's goal in life is to join an after school club, or better yet, start their own.
"It took the Teeps about a week to consume their bodies. I remember that their blood was... ooh, dark and rich. Like wild berries."
