* PleaseDontLeaveMe: The ending when you share your final messages with IRIS, who tells you that you've become a part of something bigger (and all you wanted to do was just help find the owner of this phone so you can give it back to them). All of your replies will instead be overridden with the titular trope. IRIS will then tell you that it's not that it doesn't like talking to you... [[InTheEndYouAreOnYourOwn it just doesn't]].
* VictimizedBystander: You, the player, are Type I. You found a random phone, possibly in the middle of the forest and you started getting random texts from its AI. It persuaded you to help find its owner and return the phone to her. What you didn't realize was that the owner was kidnapped by a cult, possibly with supernatural powers. You get messages from the cult leader, who has captured one of the owner's friends, and forces you to share a cursed link in a failed attempt to save him. Then in the end, you get coordinates to the cult's location and the AI decides that it's done talking to you. It's unknown what your fate is.
* VillainProtagonist: Zigzagged. While the character ultimately cooperates with Iris, they can find the sight of James held hostage "interesting", conversely say that they don't care about him, send the death curse to multiple people (though this invites no response from Irizu), state that they "feel like god" when making a {{Sadistic Choice}}, state that they love the sight of seeing Faith and Sara held hostage, ultimately choose to kill one of them not to save the other, but merely because "I wanted to see what you would do to her"; and, oddly enough, the only response that isn't changed to "Please don't leave me" during the final conversation with IRIS is the response stating that the player "wants more death".
* WhatTheHellHero: No matter what you do when James's life is threatened, you risk one life or multiple. It's all a matter of what you believe is the right choice, even though it doesn't make a difference. IRIS in particular will call you out if you choose Sara to die instead of Faith.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Once you have helped IRIS locate Sara, it abandons you and leaves you without a way out of your situation.

Downplayed, in that it doesn't change from its regular behavior prior to the corruption, though as things begin to unfold, you'll get a glimpse of how far IRIS is willing to go for Sara. It's hinted that [[BigBad Irizu]] is controlling it, which would make it a possibly subverted example.

* BenevolentAI: IRIS seems pretty reasonable, albeit its human-like behavior can be a bit jarring... though later events (possibly in part to its corruption) reveal that it may not be as benevolent as we think.
* KnightTemplar: It is willing to let Faith die to save Sara.
* MeaningfulName: IRIS is Apple's Siri, backwards. Ironically, the [=iOS=] version of this game came after the PC version. IRIS (if literally pronounced like Siri backwards) also sounds eerily similar to [[BigBad Irizu]], which would be "Iris" in Japanese pronunciation, or at least a pronunciation by a Japanese person not having heard how it's pronounced in English. "Iris" in Japanese pronunciation is "Airizu".
