Added DiffLines:

* PressXToDie: While some Game Overs are either not easy to see coming, or at least can't really be blamed entirely on you, there are a handful of dialogue choices that are blatantly a bad idea:
** On the way to Iro's Fourth Date, your character will be stopped by Fumi and [[spoiler: Saji, Iro's dad, a police officer]], who makes his mistrust of you very clear. If you try to threaten him with Ruthlessness [[spoiler: or act flippant in his face about his desire to protect Iro]], Fumi will arrest you on the spot, netting you a "generic" Game Over.
** During Quill's Fourth Date, [[spoiler:you can pop a paper bag aprops of nothing, creating a sound resembling a gunshot]]. Doing so is the easiest way to get [[spoiler:Quill's "Tragic Death" Game Over]].
** Dorian, once he invites you to his mansion before Elle's Fifth Date, [[spoiler:will shoot you dead if you [[ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules refuse the money]] and then taunt him about him being unable to stop you]].


Added DiffLines:

* ViolationOfCommonSense: At the Hospital location, during specific days, you can find a bottle of pills discarded on the ground. It's possible to either leave them where they are, [[BoringButPractical simply give the bottle back to the ER's nurse]], or down all pills inside. Eating the pills is the only option that gives you anything (to be precise, a stat boost), though to be fair, [[LampshadeHanging the game does acknowledge it's not the smartest decision you've ever took]], and your character is described as suffering of stomach cramps regardless.
** Late in the game, during Quill's Fourth Date, [[spoiler:you are presented with a very scared Quill cowering in a corner, having a flashback episode]]. The rest of the game encourages you to never, ever [[spoiler: challange Quill's delusions of being a cat, something that in RealLife is considered a generally solid advice]], but if you try to avoid it at all costs, you'll eventually be forced (unless you have both some points in Ruthlessness and [[spoiler: want to get a game over]]) to do just that, by [[spoiler:pulling the cat ears off her head]]. This will actually make Quill snap out of it long enough to tell you more about how did she get in that state, though you will not unlock the secret needed for 100% Completion [[spoiler:unless you have a high enough Lucky stat, and pull her ears off as soon as the option is avaible]].

* UnwinnableByDesign: Will says so several times during his daily SMS tips: the game is designed around TrialAndErrorGameplay. It's easy to get yourself into a dead end you're unable yo get out of because of wrong decisions made several in-game days before. Make sure to keep several saves.

* AmbiguousGender: While some situations point to the MC being maybe male (Eli's awkward gender reveal conversation, the MCs stereotypically male behavior) the game actually never points it out: everyone refers to the MC with gender neutral pronouns, sex scenes never show the MCs body and the narration makes no mention of penetrative sex.

* EveryoneIsBi: Every dateable girl (and boy) plus Lotus, Dimitri, Alice and many others, happily mention their previous flings with both the same and the opposite sex. Even Elle, easily the most traditional girl of the cast, mentions having erotic dreams with Bonnibel and enjoying them.


Added DiffLines:

* GameOverMan: If officer Fumi drops by your house at nighttime, get ready to load a saved game. This is averted once, during Quill's route, where she visits as part of the plot - and it's sure to give you a fright.

Fixed miniscule error. The game is 31 days long, not 30. Also, Eli is a side character, and thus does not have to be dated to keep them alive. (Sorry for being pedantic)

Added DiffLines:

* InUniverseGameClock: Every event moves the in-game time of day ahead by one segment, and the game keeps track of how many days have passed [[TimedMission because there is a time limit before disaster befalls the girls]]. Sometimes, this can lead to scheduling conflicts, such as two girls both texting you to ask you on a date at the same time; if you haven't already built up enough of a rapport with whoever's getting snubbed, they might break up with you as a result.

* DarkerAndEdgier: While the game retains the series' trademark silliness and lighthearted dialogue, the overarching plot is much more serious. If the player character fails to keep the main girls happy, they will die in hilarious or horrifying ways. As the story progresses, the player can uncovered more and more of each girls' secrets, continually painting a clearer picture of [[spoiler: the tragic and traumatic events they faced in their past and how said events continue to haunt them in the present]].

* PowerUpFood: Downplayed. You can get a coffee from the queen bean Coffee House every day, which will increase one of your good karma stats by a single point. It makes sense that coffee can increase one's motivation, maybe not as much one's tech savviness.
