* AlternateRealityGame: During the hiatus between Seasons 1 and 2, messages encrypted under a Caesar Cipher were suddenly dropped at the end of various DMP-related videos, starting with their [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_X-dLZ03-Q Halloween Special]]. The messages seem to correspond to the motives and wishes of the various characters that eventually led them to go with the Murder God. More appeared during the mid-season hiatus of Season 2, and during the hiatus between Seasons 2 and 3, Morse code and spectrograms were introduced as forms of encoding. Then, between Seasons 3 and 4, codes also appeared in [[UpToEleven ciphered German, ciphered French, and hexadecimal]].

* AudienceParticipation: Donating bits[[note]]A way of donating money to streamers on Twitch.tv. Each bit is worth one US cent.[[/note]] during the streams will slowly fill up a meter. Once the meter is full, the Bit Wheel is spun, which will enact a variety of effects onto the players. The effects range from adding new roles to [[EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs turning people into velociraptors]], or even [[spoiler:giving the Murder God a conscience]]. Audience members who donate [[UpToEleven absurdly large numbers of bits at once]], enough to fill the meter several times over, get to directly suggest scenarios and/or choose Bit Wheel effects to activate. In season 2, one can offer an improvisation prompt.

* SplitPersonality: It is revealed in Episode 10 of Season 1 that [[spoiler: Grace has a split personality that appears to house her emotions and crank them UpToEleven.]]

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Each scenario follows the general formula of the party game [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_%28party_game%29 Mafia]], also known as Werewolf, with some minor variations. Season 2 Episode 3 Scenario 2, however, functions instead like a dice-rolling Tabletop Game. This has since become another staple gameplay style (instead of just Mafia) in order to change things up.
** [[spoiler: Season 2, Episode 14. The episode does not begin with the usual cast introduction and is not split into Scenarios, nor does it use either of the established gameplay styles. Instead, the episode consists of each of the Awakened (sans Christine) being placed in their own lotus-eater world, featuring a better, perfect version of their lives, and they then have to break themselves out of it, whether on their own or with the help of the others. The episode contains no character status boards; its visuals consist entirely of illustrations.]]

* EvolvingCredits: The season 3 opening does this. It starts only showing the awakened that were currently awakened for Season 3 and updated with the new awakened after they join the awakened side.

* WhamEpisode: Just about every season finale and mid-season finale could qualify, as well as many other episodes, but by far the most prominent is Season 4 Episode 6. [[spoiler:With the help of the just-revived Yugo, the Awakened form the Longinus Blade, the artifact they were seeking. After they each go through a personal trial, Stephen betrays the Awakened, stabbing the Murder God through her chest, and reveals himself to be working with Guy Le Cutaux and Mr. [=GcMillicutty=] to take the power of the Void for the latter. However, Murder God then reveals that almost everything that happened over the previous episodes, including Yugo's revival and the Awakened manipulating the void through their own stories, was [[AllAccordingToPlan all part of her plan]] to gain the power she needs to stop the Black Stars. However ''again'', the four members of the Cutt-lective then reveal who and what they really are, as a figure calling himself the Chaos God emerges from Dr. [=McGillicutty's=] chest, detailing how he placed the four in the void both to entertain himself and to help him get the power he desired, and how his last obstacle--the Black Stars--was removed by Murder God sealing them out in [=S4E1=]. In their ensuing "conversation", he reveals her chosen name--Cassilda--and at its end proceeds to rip the Void out of her chest and take control of the Void for himself.]]

More appeared during the mid-season hiatus of Season 2 and during the hiatus between Season 2 and Season 3. The latter also introduced morse code and spectrograms as forms of encoding.

* VillainousBreakdown: Although the Murder God has small tantrums when things do not go her way that could qualify, especially when any character truly awakens, there is one that really takes the cake. In [[spoiler: Episode 14 of Season 2, when the Awakened have broken out of their Lotus-Eater worlds and stand before her, she questions each one why they would want to leave, insisting to each of them in turn that it would be so much better than their current situation, becoming more and more desperate. After they all have rejected her implorations, she goes on a rant reminiscent of the beginning of the one from the first season's finale, which then quickly turns into her sobbing, wondering why no one ever wants to stay with her. %%It should be noted that, when the Awakened were in their lotus-eater dreamscapes, their illustrations had minimal color, if any, but once they broke out, color returned to them. When the Murder God has this breakdown, she slowly loses her color instead.%%]]
