* MeaningfulEcho: [[spoiler: Kana rejects Itaru by saying she can't be with a liar. After they meet again at the marriage interview, she affectionately calls him a liar.]]

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: This spin-off breaks off from the usual formula of the heroine eliminating one liar in every chapter from the cast of 10, by offering the player the ability to eliminate multiple liars in each chapter from the cast of 17 men. Some liars in the same chapter can be eliminated for different reasons. Also, she does not meet all of the men at once, but gradually throughout the story. It also does not feature a movie before a chapter begins or when selecting the liar, or any 3/4 view portraits of the characters.

The Japanese version also offers the ‘Mini Liar’ series, which function similarly to the main stories, but are shorter, having only 6 candidates instead of 10 or more, and do not offer multiple endings at the end of every chapter for each character. There are currently 3 Mini Liar stories available: Luxury Cruise, Lying Women, and High-Rise Mansion.

‘Lying Women’ features a male protagonist for the very first time, and is about a man who meets 6 women at the same matchmaking party the heroine of ‘Uncover the Truth’ attended, and has to find his ideal woman amongst them. The hero is a researcher and section chief of a large company that produces dairy products.
