* SpiritualAdaptation: Of ''VideoGame/{{Ico}}'' as the main mechanic involves two children HoldingHands -- one of them being pale skinned -- and building a bond of trust with one another. The main differences is that it's the princess who has to guide the prince out and that instead of ''escaping'' the evil queen, they are trying to find the witch.

* CumbersomeClaws: What starts the whole plot. When the Prince manages to catch a quick glance of the Wolf, she frantically covers his eyes with her clawed hands and blinds him in the process. The rest of the game involves her seeking to reverse this mistake.

* BizarreTasteInFood: The Liar Princess, being a Wolf that hunts for her food all her life in the forest, gives the Prince raw meat, thinking he would enjoy it and is completely caught off guard when he spits it out instead. The Prince has to explain to her that humans actually eat meat after cooking it over the fire, because eating it raw will make them sick.

a few things were wong, such as saying the prince was locked up in a dungeon rather than a tower as well as the Morphic Resonance section needing a bit more detail.

* HoldingHands: How the Princess leads the Prince around, though their beaming smiles while doing it makes it clear it's not just purely practical.


Added DiffLines:

* WasItAllALie: The Prince feels bitter and betrayed when he finds out the Wolf's deceptions and angrily calls her a liar. It's only when she braves her fear of fire to save him that he realizes she only lied about the facts, never about her feelings for him.

* CallingASmeerpARabbit: All of the monsters in the forest have very normal names, and very little in common with said names. Sure, the Wolf is a large furry predator, the Goats are wooly and have horns, the Moles have poor eyesight and live in holes, the Racoons have black and white fur, and so on... but beyond those basic traits, anything and everything is fair game.

* CheatedAngle: Subverted. The Wolf's design is clearly designed to evoke this, as part of the "childish picture book" design theme of the game, but it's not actually the case: she really has two eyes and two ears on each side of her head.

* RecycledPremise: A man falls in love after hearing beautiful music, not knowing the singer's true form.
