You play as Youngho, a Korean freshman at Sehwa High. After falling asleep during a test, Youngho wakes up to find that night has fallen. He is alone in the school.

* AsianAndNerdy: Subverted in that ''all'' of the characters are Korean. Seho resembles the trope.

* ChekhovsArmy: ''Every'' named character in the prologue- the teacher, the protagonist's geeky friend, the weird loner, the school bully, his crush, the suicide victim- returns later in the storyline. [[spoiler:The teacher is a crazed killer, the geeky friend is a budding EvilOverlord, the weird loner explores ''hell'' in her spare time, the school bully is ''also'' a crazed killer, his crush is a phantom, and the suicide victim ended up on the wrong end of an ArtifactOfDoom.]]

* IHaveYouNowMyPretty: [[spoiler:Seho commanded the Shade to bring Mina to him. (The resulting...''thing'' was not Mina, much to Seho's disappointment.)]]
* MacGuffin: Each prisoner of Sehwa must find an item unique to them to escape. This means that other prisoners can provide only limited guidance [[spoiler:although Youngho is able to free Mina's reflection by finding her a medkit.]]

* MultipleEndings: The game has 5 endings, which depend on the player's choices.

* EvilTeacher: [[spoiler:[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Mr. "Mad Dog" Ma]] fits to this description to a tee.

It turns out that he is actually using the school bullies to enforce his own selfish agenda.

* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Referred to as 'shadows' (not ''[[Franchise/{{Persona}} that]]'' kind of Shadows, but pretty close), they are reflections of people in the real world. Youngho meets Mina's shadow, [[spoiler:which was brought into existence by the Shade]]. She/its true nature is ambiguous; though she's extremely pale and Seho believes she isn't the real Mina, the reflection feels emotions and physical pain. [[spoiler:If Youngho treats the shadow's injuries, she thanks him and disappears.]]

* ChekhovsGunman: In the beginning sequence, Youngho has the option of talking to Yaesol on his way to school. It yields nothing except a mildly amusing scene where he tries and fails to flirt with her.

* CynicalMentor: Yaesol actively explores the Coma- the dark side of humanity made manifest-and has seen a lot of people die (by [[DrivenToSuicide their own hands]] or another's). As a result, she's rather cavalier about both. But beneath all the snark, she teaches Youngho how to escape the Coma and genuinely tries to help him.
* DarkWorld: Referred to as '[[TitleDrop The Coma]]'. Youngho is trapped in the Coma of Sehwa High School.
