* LotusEaterMachine: The whole city was one for a while, with the curse suppressing the memories of the residents and compelling them to believe the city is some kind of utopia and to form a new life there. Some take the crash back to reality better than others, with Hawk suffering a PTSD attack, Justine breaking down into tears, and Hamza running into the crew of [[VisualNovel/ArcadeSpirits Arcade Spirits]] still under the effect of the curse and being stricken when they don't recognize him.
** Ironically, returning to reality is what actually drives many of the characters to investigate deeper to unravel the nature of the city.

** In a specific instance, Bruno actually notes that Hawk's pistol won't do a thing against Metal Seadramon, so Hawk breaks out the armour-piercing sniper rifle, to much better effect.

* PowerCreepPowerSeep: ZigZagged. The roleplay generally tries to keep everyone to a relative level, ensuring that no character could, for sure, win against every person they fought against. For balancing sake, most characters have their most overpowered abilities either removed or weakened to not make fights too unbalanced. That said, some characters still maintain their overall power, which make some more powerful than other characters (such as [[VideoGame/DevilMayCry Nero]]).

Set in the titular city of Paradise Falls, the premise is that the various player-characters have been inexplicably brought to the city and afflicted with a curse that suppresses their memories and compels them . Only for that curse to vanish suddenly. It is then down to the players to uncover where they are, and why they've been brought here.
