Added DiffLines:

* EldritchLocation: The town of Uncanny Valley seems to be this. The backgrounds are AI-generated and give the setting a bizarre, dreamy look, and its inhabitants consist at least partially of [[VisualNovel/JohnDoe strange men with creepy smiles]] and [[spoiler: sentient houses.]]
** [[spoiler: Maison turns out to actually ''be'' this, as he's actually a sentient house that functions as a living organism that "hunts" by inviting people inside.]]

* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Maison doesn't seem necessarily ''evil'', or at least not malicious, instead [[spoiler: being motivated by hunger.]] He seems genuinely pleased with your company when you go along with his plan, [[spoiler: and tries to digest you slower to savor your company.]]

* AerithAndBob: The player character is named You, and the real estate agent is named [[MyNaymeIs Maison Talos.]]
* AffablyEvil: Maison is perfectly polite to you, and, even if he's incredibly pushy and persistent, he never physically forces you to tour his house and instead excuses himself when you outright reject him. [[spoiler: However, once you get inside, you're essentially doomed to die.]]

* DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler: John Doe was the main character of the last game, but appears briefly near the end of the "Doe Eyed" ending looking longingly at the main character, which seems to imply that this is the true ending.]]
* [[spoiler: EatenAlive: What happens if you go into the house. Maison turns out to actually ''be'' the house, and once you walk in, he essentially has you trapped in his stomach, which results in you being digested.]]
* HumanoidAbomination: Maison appears as a human man, but has a constant upbeat demeanor and insistence on taking you to his house. [[spoiler: Turns out his "human" part is merely a bait, and his actual body is the house itself.]]
* MeaningfulName: [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment Maison's first name means "House" in French, and Talos means "House" in Finnish.]] Not only does he present himself to you as a realtor, [[spoiler: he literally ''is'' a house.]]
