* TheLoad: There's a risk of girls who frequently drink or smoke becoming liabilities if you can't nail the sequence for setting up your errand girl(s). They get stressed at a slower rate as long as you keep the cigs and booze coming, but if their supply is interrupted they get rapidly stressed and are stuck in a vicious cycle of needing the Day Spa until you correct the shortage.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Some of the girls, including Nikki from the [[VideoGame/HuniePop last game]], will have strange hair colors such as green, pink, peach, purple, white and even ''rainbow''. Zoey, and fittingly Sarah, are the queens of this.

* DrugsAreGood: Audrey's coke addiction is stated to be "awesome". Cocaine can also be bought for your girls to speed up their actions. Weed can be used to minimize a girl's stress.

* ItemCaddy: A very common strategy is to have one girl serve as a dedicated gopher, doing nothing but making runs to the stores and occasionally the adult shop. On teams with a lot of heavily addicted characters, this role becomes absolutely essential. There's even a special item for it - the Shopping Basket, which doubles the amount of booze and cigs that the user brings back from the stores. When tallying up your end score, the game even acknowledges who you designated as your "Errand Girl". On rock hard difficulty it becomes necessary to have two errand girls to cover consumables, and preferably a third to handle recruiting and the item store.

* TheMillstone: Any girl who ends up getting AIDS can't do ''any'' tasks, not even make trips to the Corner or Liquor stores, without having the Steroids item used on them, which only lasts for three in-game days. Other incurable [=STDs=] carry nasty penalties, but won't render your girls unable to do the most menial tasks - at that point, you're better off shelving her.

* OneCurseLimit: The [=STD=] system in this game works this way. There are 5 different [=STDs=] that the girls can acquire while being escorts, but each girl can only have one [=STD=] at a time because you can't send her to escort anymore until her current one is cured.

* TakeThatUs: The trailer for ''[=HunieCam=] Studio'' says it is brought to you by ''"basement dwelling virgins"'', and that it's a game ''"absolutely nobody asked for"''.

** A girl who has both high talent and high style can do her own photo shoots to gain the greatest possible number of fans, and earn more money from each fan when they do cam shows. The problem is that a girl's wage doubles each time you raise either talent or style by one point, so that whereas a girl with 1 talent and 1 style earns $1/hr, a girl with 5 talent and 5 style earns $256/hr. High wages can negate the benefit of the money she brings in, so it makes more sense to have style-heavy girls who focus on photo shoots and talent-heavy girls who focus on cam shows. At least in normal mode you can take a style-dominant girl who's built up a large fanbase and max her talent later on in order to turn her into a money earner, and you can consider hiring a girl with high base stats like Renee or Marlena from the modeling agency in the later game when you've accumulated the fanbase and items to support them. In hard mode there's no such wiggle room because the starting wage is $3/hr, which means a 5-5 girl costs ''$768/hr!'' And sure, you can cut that in half with a piggy bank, but by the late game you need all available slots for fetish items to increase fan count. All that makes even Lola, Candace, and Brooke kind of tricky to work with in hard mode, while making Renee and especially Marlena practically out of the question.

* LuckBasedMission: It's up to chance which three girls you can choose from in any one trip to the modeling agency, or which six items you can choose from in any one trip to the adult shop. In hard mode it can really throw you off if you can't get the girl your build works best with right out the gate. If your early game strategy involves using girls who drink or smoke, you'll be in trouble if you aren't lucky enough to get the Shopping basket from your first or second trip.

* CommonplaceRare: You only have a small chance of finding a single condom on any trip to the adult store, despite the fact that in real life they're usually sold in packs of 10+.

* AchievementMockery: The game awards the player an achievement for contracting all six [=STDs=] on a single save file. While this is technically a matter of luck, [=STDs=] can be prevented with the correct items, meaning that catching so many of them would be the result of extremely poor decision-making.

* CigaretteOfAnxiety[=/=]INeedAFreakingDrink: Cigarettes and drinks are used to reduce the amount of stress a smoking and/or drinking girl suffers from making her activities, allowing her to work for more time before having to hit the spa. Running out causes the girls with those requirements to skyrocket in stress. There are equippable items that take away their requirement, though, but this has the tradeoff of them being able to cater to fewer fetishes.

* ExperienceBooster: The Stripper Heels and the Fashion Magazine halve the time it takes to increase a girl's Talent or Style, respectively.
* EyeCatch: To compensate for the lack of visual in-game fanservice, the loading screen has images of the girls in various fanservice-y moments.

* ItemCaddy: A very common strategy is to have one girl serve as a dedicated gopher, doing nothing but making runs to the stores and occasionally the sex shop. On teams with a lot of heavily addicted characters, this role becomes absolutely essential. There's even a special item for it - the Shopping Basket, which doubles the amount of booze and cigs that the user brings back from the stores. When getting the score, the game even acknowledges who you designated as your "Errand Girl".

* TheLoad: Any of the girls who frequently smoke or drink, initially. Sure, both those activities lower the girls' stress, but it also means ''constant'' trips to the Corner and Liquor stores unless you fit them with a wine jug and/or nicotine patch.

* MultinationalTeam: Aside of the already diverse cast from ''[=HuniePop=]'', there's a Russian woman, a Brazilian woman and a girl from the Pacific.

* OneCurseLimit: The [=STD=] system in this game works this way. There are 5 different [=STDs=] that the girls can acquire while being escorts, but each girl can only have one [=STD=] at a time, and cannot get a different one until her current one is cured (if possible).

* YourSizeMayVary: Many of the girls look considerably more buxom in their images than in their sprites.

* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Aside the two default fetishes a girl satisfies, there's optional fetishes you can boost her up with. You know, the usuals: sex toys, an AnimalEaredHeadband for the furries, a ball gag for those into bondage, a gallon of water for those that have a pee fetish, and a [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers chocolate cake for the people]] [[{{Squick}} that like cake farting]].

* STDImmunity: {{Averted|Trope}}. The girls can get ''different'' [=STDs=] at the Sleazy Motel working as escorts. Some can be cured by antibiotics, while others are incurable. They cause different penalties to the stats, but if a character gets AIDS then they can't do ''anything'' anymore (without steroids).

'''''[=HunieCam=] Studio''''' is a Western [[SimulationGame Business Sim]] in the same way that ''[[VideoGame/HuniePop HuniePop]]'' is a DatingSim. Created by the same developer, Ryan Koons, it casts the player in the role of being a "Camgirl Tycoon" in charge of their own website and employees, with the mission of making as many fans as possible in twenty-one days. A number of those potential employees are characters from the original ''[[VideoGame/HuniePop HuniePop]]''.

* ShoutOut: One website/community in the Promos tab is named [[Website/DeviantART DegenerateART]]. Another, catering to the Tattoo fetish, is named Homicide Girls, alluding to the real-life pin-up website Suicide Girls. There's also an Asian fetish site called Sakura Spirits, likely a reference to the Sakura line of adult visual novels.

-->'''[=HuniePotDev:=]''' "[Nudity] just doesn’t go with the art style. Trust me, we tried it, it’s… weird."

-->'''[=HuniePotDev:=]''' "The continuity in Hunie games is like Zelda. In 20 years we'll make up a timeline trying to piece it all together."

* CallBack: There are several to ''[=HuniePop=]''

-->'''[=HuniePotDev:=]''' "Ideally we can make each project something totally unique. We're not interested in being a sequel-ware company."

There are equippable items that take away their requirement, though, but this has the tradeoff of them being able to cater to fewer fetishes.

* MoneyForNothing: Zig-zagged. While money is needed to buy upgrades (that get increasingly more expensive) and to pay your girls (that with every level up start to charge higher the hour), your final success or failure depends on how many fans you've racked up by your deadline. So money is important, but it's important for getting fans more effectively.

* AnimalEaredHeadband: You can buy them in the Adult Shop and give one to the girls to appeal to the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom.

** The handheld that Nikki is playing in her CG is very obviously a Nintendo 3DS, and there are two controllers on the shelf in the background that are extremely reminiscent of Wii remotes (they're thin and rectangular, and have wrist-straps).

** Some of the returning girls' [=CGs=] are similar to their photos in ''[=HuniePop=]]'':

* BleachedUnderpants: Despite a way more risque premise than the first game, it has no explicit pornographic content.

* ShoutOut: One website/community in the Promos tab is named [[Website/DeviantART DegenerateART]]. Another, catering to the Tattoo fetish, is named Homicide Girls, alluding to the real-life pin-up website Suicide Girls.
