* ThrowTheDogABone: Marty is the titular loser of ''VideoGame/LoserReborn'', having lost his family and only friend to a car accident. In this game, he befriends Sally and manages to save the world from Gla'aki's cult. Subverted by the stinger, which shows that he's still not in the clear due to [[spoiler:getting involved in another paranormal case.]]
* TookALevelInBadass: Double subverted. Marty lacks the power he had from ''VideoGame/LoserReborn'' and is just an ordinary human now, but he's also more willing to confront reality thanks to his best friend's encouragement, allowing him to fight the undead with mundane weaponry.
* TookALevelInKindness: In ''VideoGame/LoserReborn'', Marty was willing to use headpatting to effectively brainwash women into joining his party. In this game, he treats Sally as a genuine friend rather than an object. It helps that he's going through a [[TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople zombie apocalypse]] rather than a wish-fulfillment reincarnation plot this time.

* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Marty gets discouraged over Sally's compact breaking due to his dependency on the lucky object, resulting in him believing he can't fulfill his self-appointed role as Sally's hero. Brucie bluntly tells him that there's no point in worrying over having the ideal heroic origin story and to just do what he thinks is right in this situation. This reinvigorates Marty to continue fighting zombies to save Sally.

* {{Retcon}}: Although this game is supposed to continue from Ending 2 of ''VideoGame/LoserReborn'', it changes certain details. In the previous game, Marty obtains a gun from a dead cop in the hospital lobby, has no allies with him, and has to face Gla'aki and her zombies. In this game, Marty obtains a gun in one of the upper floors, enters the lobby with Sally, and has to fight living cultists in addition to Gla'aki and her zombies.

* BackStab: Miasma zombies and vampires are powerful when attacked from the front or side, but weaker when attacked from behind. Unfortunately, back attacks cannot be used against the ones summoned during the FinalBoss fight.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Marty bonds with Sally because she constantly brought lucky clovers to his comatose body, despite them being complete strangers to each other.

* DifficultyLevels: Normal mode uses standard 6-sided die, but hard mode only allows a maximum value of 3 for each die, making it harder to get good outcomes on checks.
* TheDragon: The Grandmistress is the leader of the cult and is loyal to Gla'aki. [[spoiler:When Marty and Brucie free Sally from her clutches, the Grandmistress offers her own body to act as Gla'aki's vessel.]]
* GoodCounterpart: Sally ends up being the DamselInDistress of this game like Lucy was in ''Case 01''.

* KnightTemplar: The Grandmistress believes humanity would be happier and more peaceful as undead, and therefore feels justified in placing the world under the thrall of Gla'aki.
* LuckManipulationMechanic: The game has various events where the player must roll die to get a value, which is then used to determine the outcome of the event. Equipping better gear will add additional die to these events, making it easier to reach higher value thresholds. Lucy's items can also be used to spend LP to increase the die values, effectively increasing the range of good values.
