* DarkerAndEdgier: Plenty of gruesome deaths, creepy spirits, and {{Jump Scare}}s separate it from the usual NIS affair, even compared to ''[[VideoGame/HotaruNoNikkiTheFireflyDiary htoL#NiQ]]''. As if to solidify this, barely a minute into the game, you watch something die. ''In a tutorial, no less.''

Added DiffLines:

* DiegeticSound: The game lacks a soundtrack, presumably so you are able to listen better to the moans of the spirits and determine if they're close or not. The only time a music track ever plays is during the credits.

* FirstEpisodeSpoiler: The game's tutorial looks normal enough, guiding you through the game's controls [[spoiler:until it gets your dog killed]]. Most promotional material has thankfully done a good job keeping this a secret.
