* AntiHero: Aki's a good person, but isn't so much reformed as it is that ''not'' being a criminal makes life easier, and she's certainly willing to fall back on her con artist ways when necessary. Gurski describes her life as a moral grey.
* BornUnlucky: Kangai's character bio describes him as seeming naturally unlucky, given that he's constantly coming across dead bodies.



* CommonalityConnection:
** Kangai and Li Mei bond over having a kansei that allows them to experience others' emotions, and the struggles of how it's distorted their own views (Li Mei with how she personally feels about things, and Kangai with whether or not he fears death).
** Kangai and Aki are both older siblings who understand what it's like to want to [[BigBrotherInstinct protect their younger sibling at all costs]].



* ExtremeDoormat: Kangai can accuse Naoki of being one for Aki, though according to Naoki, he does argue with her--Kangai'll see for himself if he sticks around long enough.



* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:Chance, with hints of TheChessmaster as well.]]

to:

* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:Chance, Aki is a benevolent example, who typically uses a combination of her charm and kansei to help solve cases. [[spoiler:Chance is a darker version, with hints of TheChessmaster as well.]]



* OncePerEpisode: Kangai has a tendency to get accused of crimes he didn't commit. In ''Jisei'', Miss Bergstrom accuses him of being the murderer; in ''Kansei'', lying to Sophia will have her briefly accuse him of being the murderer (again); in ''Yousei'', Jupiter, David, and Nathan believe him to be the thief who stole their research.



* SecretSecretKeeper: Gurski is described in his bio as knowing more than he lets on, and it shows. [[spoiler:He knew all along who Kangai was, and just didn't bring it up until the second game. One ending in ''Yousei'' reveals that he knows the real reason why the twins' mother died, and they do ''not'' take it well.]]
* TrueCompanions: Aki, Naoki, and Li Mei view themselves as family, and they gladly welcome Kangai into it. Naoki is even appalled when he thinks that Kangai doesn't plan on staying with them, despite having only known him for less than a week. On his part, Kangai doesn't have concrete plans for the future, but admits to himself that it might be nice to finally have a place to call home.
* UncannyValley: In-universe, Kangai initially feels that Li Mei comes across as ''off'', due to her EmotionlessGirl impression.



* AssholeVictim: It's telling that every time you ask someone if anyone had reason to kill the victim, every single one of them responds with yes--he was definitely not a popular man.



* [[spoiler:TheDogBitesBack: Kevin kills Auten for manipulating him and his family: Auten ''deliberately'' drove their family business into debt so that he could force Kevin to work for him, unpaid, for an indefinite amount of time.]]

* [[spoiler:TheDogBitesBack: Kevin TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Kevin kills Auten for manipulating him and his family: Auten ''deliberately'' drove their family business into debt so that he could force Kevin to work for him, unpaid, for an indefinite amount of time.]]



* [[spoiler:SympatheticMurderer: Kevin only killed Auten because the latter was manipulating him and his family with a LeonineContract. He seems like he would have been a nice guy otherwise.]]

to:

* [[spoiler:SympatheticMurderer: Kevin SympatheticMurderer: [[spoiler:Kevin only killed Auten because the latter was manipulating him and his family with a LeonineContract. He seems like he would have been a nice guy otherwise.]]



* AssholeVictim: Averted, compared to the previous games. When asked, other characters express that the victim was a great person with no reason to be hated. Sure enough, whereas the other murders were [[spoiler:generally some form of revenge against the victim]], the motivation for this one is decidedly more selfish.



* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:Aaron's tendency to snap photos]] ends up providing a crucial clue to solving the case.



* ContinuityNod: [[spoiler: Remember that moment in ''Jisei'' where it's mentioned that Chance once threw hot coffee on her ex-boyfriend for flaunting his new girlfriend in front of her? Apparently, that ex was David, and the new girl was Jupiter. And they weren't really bragging at all, Chance just exaggerated the whole event.]]
* [[spoiler: DiesWideOpen: Nathan's body is found this way in the Killer Lost Ending. It's quite creepy...]]

* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:When Chance suggests that the murderer may be someone not currently within the coffee shop, the player has the option to either agree with her or else suggest that her claim is a bit iffy. If the latter option is chosen, Chance will offer to make the protagonist another coffee. When he drinks it, he realizes it's been poisoned, and as he's dying, she informs him that he knows too much.]]

* HeKnowsTooMuch: [[spoiler:When [[spoiler:Two options are needed for this path. First option is when talking with Detective Gurski he suggests that Chance may be involved,the player has the option to either disagree Chance's involvement or agree. Second option is when Chance suggests that the murderer may be someone not currently within the coffee shop, the player has the option to either disagree Chance's involvement or agree, and agree with her or else suggest that her claim is a bit iffy. iffy respectively. If the latter option is chosen, chosen for both, Chance will offer to make the protagonist another coffee.

[[CursedWithAwesome (Un)fortunately]], our loner protagonist has an ability that allows him to "read" the death of any body he touches. He learns from this ability that the woman was ''not'' stabbed, at least not at first, and that she was apparently suffocated. However, while he's using his ability, a woman walks in, sees him touching the body, and makes the unfortunate assumption that ''he'' is the killer, interrupting the reading before he can fully determine the true cause of death. Now he must [[ClearMyName clear his name]] ([[NoNameGiven no pun intended]]) and find out who the ''real'' killer and their motivation behind the grisly murder.
