* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: In the intro log, we learn the twist that this season was filmed in full in advance rather than just on a week's time delay like the others, so Team Temerity's hopes of rescuing the inmates before anyone dies are doomed from the start. The fact that the jail will be overthrown and turned into a DeadlyGame is also this, due to the series it's part of.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: If by "main character" you mean "entire cast." Round 2 had only one unrepentant culprit and half the sympathetic ones didn't even intend to, and everyone was at nearly endgame-level bonds almost right away. Round 3, in fitting with its "murder" gimmick to contrast R2's "love," had all intentional murders and even the sympathetic ones weren't exactly repentant, and most of the survivors didn't even fully trust each other at endgame, let alone throughout the round.
