History VideoGame / Kuukiyomi

* AffectionateParody: ''3'' has the [[BlandNameProduct "Virtuber"]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLo82oU2bdU Z-ko]] (Z.Z. in the English version), who greets her audience with [[WebAnimation/KizunaAi "Hai domo!"]]. The situation comes into play when technical difficulties reveal that Z.Z. is, in fact, a [[GuyInRealLife wrinkly middle-aged man]], a common speculation directed at the "cute anime girl" type of VirtualYoutuber.

* ''Uranai Bakyu~n! Kuukiyomi Edition'', a DolledUpInstallment based on ''Uranai Bakyu~n'' made by the same developer. Watch the trailer [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG2BYpI1IWI here]].

* SoundtrackDissonance: At least in the original cellphone and smartphone versions, the Literature/SnowWhite situation from ''Kuukiyomi 2'' has an ominous rap music plays during story narrations/cutscene, until the current situation where you controls Snow White to move her head side to side or wake up, while being kissed by the prince.

* StealthPrequel: [[spoiler:''Kuukiyomi 3: Consider It More and More!!'' turns out to take place before ''Kuukiyomi: Consider It''. [[BookEnds In the 100th situation]], the player controls the son of the player character (who has become a mother) so unknown train passengers, who happen to be a father and a daughter, can sit down together. Their son and daughter are heavily implied to be younger versions of the player protagonist and his girlfriend C-Ko (or C.C. in the global version), respectively, from the first game.]]

* GuideDangIt: The game never explains anything about specific scenarios (apart from the messages for each scenario in the chapter mode). Some of the goals are far from obvious, and you only get a rating every five questions, making it difficult to determine whether you got any particular question "correct".

** In the 40th situation of ''Kuukiyomi 2: Consider It More! -New Era-'', there's [[Literature/TheAdventuresOfPinocchio Pinocchio]]. You must lengthen or shorten his nose when he tells either BlatantLies, truth or vague lies (read:lies that [[AnachronismStew don't appear in the his era]]).

* LawyerFriendlyCameo: The Big Bro and the little girl duo, who are nameless and live in poverty. They look exactly like Seita and Setsuko from ''Anime/GraveOfTheFireflies''. These two are in some situations to judge the morality of your player character.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: Question 88 in ''3''. In the original Japanese, the situation involves the player blocking a Pachinko signage and turning it into "chinko"[[note]]Japanese slang for "penis"[[/note]] should they did not move aside (on the other hand, blocking the letter "Chi" the signage becomes "Panko", which means breadcrumb in Japanese). In the translated version, the background is changed to a door of an open shop. Also doubles as LostInTranslation.

* DeliberatelyMonochrome: [[SubvertedTrope ...except for the red characters that you control.]]

** In the 45th situation of Kuukiyomi 2: Consider It More!, the player character is one of the people who are involved in a ribbon-cutting ceremony. You must cut the ribbon when the announcer says "Begin". [[spoiler:However, you have to make sure the announcer is actually saying "Begin". Because sometimes the announcer says "Being" or "Benign" to trick the player.]]

** In the 48th situation of ''Kuukiyomi 2: Consider It More!'', the player character has to drop the confetti ball when ''all'' people who are involved in the ribbon cutting ceremony have cut the ribbon.

* RibbonCuttingCeremony: In the 45th situation of Kuukiyomi 2: Consider It More!, the player character is one of the people who are involved in a ribbon-cutting ceremony. You must cut the ribbon when the announcer says "Begin". [[spoiler:However, you have to make sure the announcer is actually saying "Begin". Because sometimes the announcer says "Being" or "Benign" to trick the player.]]

You must cut the ribbon when the announcer says "Begin". However, you have to make sure the announcer is actually saying "Begin". Because sometimes the announcer says "Being" or "Benign" to trick the player.

* ''Kuukiyomi DS'', released as UsefulNotes/DSiWare in 2009.

* InventionalWisdom: In the 69th situation of ''Kuukiyomi 3: Consider It More and More!!'', the player character is in the toilet and there are three buttons available (from right to left): big flush, little flush and "?". The third one creates a "hee..." sound when pushed. Seriously, that button is unnecessary.

* ShoutOut: ...to ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'', ''Franchise/StarWars'', ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'', ''Franchise/SuperSentai'', ''Series/{{Ultraman}}'', and maybe ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}''. One of the situations looks similar to ''VideoGame/TenSecondRun'', another game by the same company.

* DyingConfessionOfLove: Situation 99

* HonestAxe: Situation 91 in ''3'' [[spoiler:but your axe is embedded in the goddess's head]].

* NeverTrustATrailer: This trope is averted if you know Japanese but played straight if you do not. The situations played in the played have 'you' talk with someone else on an elevator while blocking someone's way, 'you' sitting down while others are standing up and clapping, and 'you' taking too much room in the bus while a couple looks on (though 'you' eventually move out of the way, letting the couple sit). If you do not know Japanese, you may think that this game is supposed to teach you manners. In reality, the game is supposed to teach you how to react according to the situation. Some of the situations are actually unrealistic.

* UnresolvedSexualTension: 'You' risk this if you fail a few situations.

** Virtual Youtuber [[https://youtube.com/channel/UC3iwL9Yz8LcKkJsnLPevOTQ Nora Cat]]'s has been accidentally revealed by a technical glitch once. [[https://youtu.be/DIFbgtiQnZY Her true identity]] resembles [[https://youtu.be/ZOfBmPm6CyY an ordinary man]]. 3 years later, G-Mode, a Japanese game company releases ''[[VideoGame/{{Kuukiyomi}} Kuukiyomi 3: Consider It More and More!!]]'' in March 2021, in which [[https://youtu.be/k6-_nc8pFVY the 73th situation/level]] is a moment when fictional Virtual Youtuber Z.Z. accidentally reveals her true identity as a bald middle aged man, thanks to a certain technical glitch.

* ToastOfTardiness: In the sixth situation of ''Kuukiyomi 3: Consider It More and More!!'', the player character, who is still a high school girl, runs with toast in her mouth because she'll be late for school. The player character must either dodge or hit one of the passing boys.
