History VideoGame / MitadakeHigh

The game also features a [[Manga/DeathNote Death Note mode]], an [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Umineko mode]], a [[Literature/{{Shiki}} Shiki mode]], a [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka mode]], a [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Tsukihime mode]], and an upcoming [[Anime/PsychoPass Psycho-Pass mode]]. Additionally, users can create their own custom modes using "Mystery Script", a language created for such a purpose which also functions with the map maker, allowing for much more intricate custom maps than before.

* ABloodyMess: Bottles of ketchup can be used to make puddles of fake blood. Some people might dump loads of it onto the floor and make footprints from it just to confuse and freak other players out into thinking it is blood.
* AGodAmI:
** Primarily occurs whenever Kira can form a cult in Death Note mode.
** Also Judgement Mode mostly consist of this.

* AloneWithThePsycho: Tends to happen when LetsSplitUpGang occurs.
* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Happens often in Zombie Mode when a student hasn't found a cure after having a dangerous confrontation with a zombie. This happens many many times in Misuterii's Shiki Mode.
* AwesomeButImpractical: Alondite. Sure, it can attack from two spaces, but it doesn't even do as much damage as an axe, burns fatigue like nobody's business, and takes up a lot of inventory room. Newbies who rely on it too much have a tendency to get batted down, robbed, and killed. Not to mention the fact it pretty heavy to carry making it almost impossible to run while holding it.
** Also, there is the server setting that has each in-game hour last an actual RealLife hour. You can probably tell that it doesn't ever get used.

** Just remember Mitadake High default map is based off a Japanese high school in Japan, where it is pretty much very common for students to bring knives from home to use during lunch since in Japan students eat lunch in the classroom (which makes it more not accurate with the default map since it has a cafeteria).

* {{BFG}}: The 7th Holy Scripture from Tsukihime sometimes spawns in-game. It is not technically a ''gun'', mind you, but it's awesome nonetheless.
* {{BFS}}: [[Franchise/FireEmblem Alondite]], a weapon that can be found, can be one of the more effective melee weapons if you fight intelligently since it can hit from two squares away -- though it's weaker than the axe and drains energy insanely quickly, so if you don't kill the opponent within the first few blows, you're in a lot of trouble.

* BodySurf: The killer has a lot of fun in Doppleganger Mode.

* CastFromLifespan: In new Manga/DeathNote Mode the Shinigami/God Of Death can do this with Kira for the sum of Kira losing half of his/her game time. For example, if the in-game time is 10 (8 hours left), you'll die when there's 4 hours left.
* {{Catgirl}}s: Strictly speaking, the game contains no sprites like this, but it's easy to RP as one if the server allows you to.
* ChessmasterSidekick: For Kira's side, the game is won or lost by the Shinigami Eyes. A competent Eyes can usually meet up with Kira easily, barring the usual bad luck, stupid random attacks, or a MagnificentBastard among the other students, while an idiot will get themselves killed or keep quiet the whole game. A good Kira ''can'' win without meeting the Eyes, but it's not easy.

* CriticalExistenceFailure: You're fine as long as you still have a sliver of HP.
* CrazySurvivalist: It's not uncommon to walk into a random room, or especially the basement, and find a barricade, with one of these inside.

* EasterEgg: Nanatsu Yoru and the 7th Holy Scripture from Tsukihime may randomly spawn.

* GambitPileup: If you're playing a game with several intelligent, witty players with well-thought-out plans, expect this to happen a lot. ''Especially'' in Death Note mode. Obviously averted in Nanaya Mode.

* GlassCannon: The Alondite read above at AwesomeButImpractical.

* HeroicComedicSociopath: Startlingly common.
* HighSchool: Unless you are playing on a custom map which isn't one.

* IKnowYouKnowIKnow: Experienced players tend to do this with PDA Numbers in Death Note mode: being able to instantly contact your allies is fantastic, but there's the danger that one of them is Kira and could ID you through the school's database (assuming the host hasn't disabled computers due to abuse). If you can grab a PDA off a corpse, you're all set.

* IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: Sometimes players will try to trap the killer rather than kill him in order to avoid this. A good killer can use this to convince them to kill each other. Occasionally taken literally in Death Note mode - if someone kills Kira, the killer will (usually) pick up the Death Note and assume his role.

* LethalJokeItem: Wooden weapons. Even after the update that made them BreakableWeapons. (It now takes a lot more technique to use wooden weapons than it used to, but they're still wonderful for punishing heavily-armed newbies.)

* MagicalEyes: One player always spawns with the Shinigami Eyes in Death Note mode, and players have a (bizarrely high) chance of spawning with them in Normal Mode, as well as a chance of spawning with the [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Mystic Eyes of Death Perception]]. Or both at once. It's happened.

* MindRape: Could happen in any mode, but Misuterii's Umineko Mode almost relies entirely on this.
* TheMole: In a good-sized game, someone besides Eyes will be helping Kira. Unless they're not. [[MindScrew But if they're good,]] [[ParanoiaFuel you can never tell if they're one or the other.]] Often, [[WildCard they themselves haven't decided who they're really working for until the crunch comes]], [[TheStarscream and many will prepare for either outcome]].
* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning / ThanatosGambit: This can easily occur in Death Note mode if Kira is a sadistic prick or simply cannot worm his way out of the oncoming storm. As Kira, take your Death Note, hide it somewhere the Eyes will find it, fake your own death, and hide. The Eyes will gladly kill off the other players for you, only to find that you've written their name in the back of the book for 5:00 AM. Savvy tropers will note that this is a fair recreation of the actual plot of Manga/DeathNote.

* NinjaLooting: If you can justify it, an art form and a masterstroke RP. If not, you will be yelled at, insulted, and despised. Either way, a valid game tactic.
** Particularly if, as the Eyes, you loot a KO'd Kira.

** People who get the role of Kira have a tendency to rush to the office, check the student records, and write every name into the note, defeating the purpose of [[NeedleInAStackOfNeedles having several dozen extra names]]. Now the host has the option to disable computers completely.

** There are posters up all over the walls promoting Tsukihime, Melty Blood, Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann, [[Franchise/CodeGeass Orange-kun's]] [[spoiler: fully upgraded form]] and the like.
** The blatantly-titled Death Note game mode.

** Some of the arsenal in the game include [[VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry a billhooked cleaver, a steel baseball bat, a taser]], the Manga/DeathNote, [[Franchise/FireEmblem Alondite]], and the [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} 7th Holy Scripture]].

* TenLittleMurderVictims
* TheChessmaster: Kira pretty much needs to be one of these in order to win.
* TheHunterBecomesTheHunted: The students can always hunt down the killer, if they are better armed of course.

** Due in part to Wiki/ThisVeryWiki listing them as {{Game Breaker}}s, it became [[ComplacentGamingSyndrome the default combat strategy]] for a while to get a bokken or a wooden bat as quickly as possible. Now [[BreakableWeapons they break and become useless after a number of hits]].

* MoralDissonance: A good way to catch Kira is to pretend to be the Eyes, and vice-versa. This usually leads to all but you and your prey dead, followed quickly by your prey's death.

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Nanaya Mode. No [=RPing=] this round, just KillEmAll, unless the host defies the trope by managing to get everyone under control before the round starts. When this happens, you often get a well roleplayed and interesting game. (Of course, it's still something completely different.)

* SchoolgirlLesbians: All the time - there are players who refuse to [=RP=] any other way. [[PsychoLesbian Sometimes]] the characters are sane.

** There's also an item called a [[VideoGame/{{Touhou}} Mystia Coin, that lets you see in the dark.]]

* DummiedOut: Although Pyrce added Black Haired Girl, Pink Haired Boy is not coded to be given to anybody despite having an icon in both versions. Misuterii does have Pink Haired Boy and Black Haired Girl, though.

* BoringButPractical: Forkkie's server rules. [[TakeThat "It's like I can SEE fun, but I can't reach it!"]]
** Most server rules in general are either this, or completely ineffective at preventing idiots from being idiots.

* TheMole: In a good-sized game, someone besides Eyes will be helping Kira.
** ReverseMole: Unless they're not.

Provides example of:

An updated version known as [[http://www.byond.com/games/MasterBraska/PyrceHigh Pyrce High]] was created by Masterbraska in late 2011. The remake featured several new modes such as Zombie mode, Witch mode, Doppelganger mode and several others. At some point, a character maker was added to the game, allowing users to select their hairstyle and name, but this was poorly received as the color mixer meant all the hair colors were neon-bright and players would play as the same character every round.
In the end, the game broke up due to internal drama with the staff and the userbase jumped ship to Misuterii High, which had just opened for alpha testing

* ABloodyMess: Bottles of ketchup can be used to make puddles of fake blood.

* AwesomeButImpractical: Alondite. Sure, it can attack from two spaces, but it doesn't even do as much damage as an axe, burns fatigue like nobody's business, and takes up a lot of inventory room. Newbies who rely on it too much have a tendency to get batted down, robbed, and killed.

* AxesAtSchool: Knives can be found in students' desks, implying the more common way this trope plays out. Other weapons are found where they should be, at least on the default map - bats in the bat bin rooms, metal pipes in the basement, [[BreadEggsMilkSquick tasers in the teachers' desks]] et cetera.

* CastFromLifespan: In new Manga/DeathNote Mode the shinigami/God Of Death can do this with Kira for the sum of Kira losing half of his/her game time. For example, if the ingame time is 10 (8 hours left), you'll die when there's 4 hours left.

* GenreSavvy: You need to be this for your gambit to be on top.

Web-based multiplayer light-role-playing murder-mystery game that runs through the {{BYOND}} [[http://www.byond.com/?page=Start client]]. The game is similar to standard drama fare "Knives In The Dark": one player is the Killer (hereafter referred to in male terms) and must attempt to bury the unfortunates trapped with him before dawn. Alternative game modes include [[Manga/DeathNote Death Note]] mode, in which one character ('Kira') spawns with a Death Note and another has the Shinigami Eyes, forcing the two to work together in order to kill everyone else; and [[VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}} Nanaya Mode]], an out-and-out free-for-all. The reason for it being Mitadake "High" is because the default map takes place in a high school; an external map editor allows hosts to create additional maps to play on.

* ObviousRulePatch: People who get the role of Kira have a tendency to rush to the office, check the student records, and write every name into the note, defeating the purpose of [[NeedleInAStackOfNeedles having several dozen extra names]]. Now the host has the option to disable computers completely.

* {{Badass}}: The majority of the characters.
** BadassAdorable: If someone's playing an obvious {{Kawaiiko}} and using complete sentences, chances are they're both a very good roleplayer ''and'' a very good player. Attack at your own risk.
** BadassNormal: Everyone, except from those with Death Notes, Shinigami Eyes or Mystic Eyes.
** Some players in Pyrce High can take out large groups of players by themselves. With the knife. Given ping below a certain level of course.

* BewareTheNiceOnes: The killer may be AffablyEvil, and the perfectly normal student who only picked a weapon up to defend him/herself may be {{Badass}}.

** Unless, of course, you're just that {{Badass}} and can [[OneManArmy kill everyone yourself.]]

* OneManArmy: Most of the time, the killer must try to manipulate the other players into killing each other. But not always. There have been examples of some clever masters of the combat system defeating as many as six enemies. [[{{Badass}} At the same time.]] In extreme cases, two of these may meet and keep on fighting for the whole round.

** There are posters up all over the walls promoting Tsukihime, Melty Blood, Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann, [[CodeGeass Orange-kun's]] [[spoiler: fully upgraded form]] and the like.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: The Killer must become this in order to win. Some players may need to become this as well to survive.
