4	''[=LAst=] WEEK'' is a Thai horror game, created with RPG Maker XP by Creator/MaykoGames. It is about a girl named "Napa", who has had a recuring nightmare since childhood. She has decided to visit the ruined school that appears in her dream. But something inside is trying to drag her into the past... and it will never let her go.

6	This game has a prequel, ''[=LAst WEEK=]: Another Incident'', that takes place 10 years before and centers around "Ratri", a student of Vitheesart (A.K.A. the ruined school), who was chosen for a strange ritual of the school. Having forgotten what had happened before, now she is in a strange building that has no exit. Before everything is over she still carries the fading hope to move forward, to seek the path to survive, and to see her friends again...

9	----
10	!!''[=LAst WEEK=]'' and its prequel provide examples of:
11	* AbandonedArea: In the first game, the school is this, at it has been completely closed down and left to ruin by the present day.
12	* AlwaysNight: Almost every scene in ''[=LAst=] WEEK'' and its prequel are during nighttime, the notable exceptions are the [[spoiler: Good and True Endings in the first and second games, respectively.]]
13	* ApocalypticLog: Scattered across the school are letters from someone detailing the school's tragic history.
14	* BenevolentAI: Played Straight at first in ''Another Incident'' by A2, who helps Ratri by providing her information. [[spoiler:It's later played with by having him upgraded into A2 Ultimate, which provided him the ability to control the Calendar system but removed all 'unnecessary' data and functions, including his kind emotions and memory about Ratri. He now suggests that Ratri should accept her fate, since he calculated a 100% chance that she would die anyway, but see ScrewDestiny below.]]
15	* BitterSweetEnding:
16	** [[spoiler:'Good Ending : Sacrifice']] in ''[=LAst=] WEEK''. In this ending, [[spoiler:Napa chooses to sacrifice herself to save Ratri but doesn’t kill the school principal, so the ritual in Vitheesart can continue]].
17	** Also in [[spoiler:'Good Ending : Hope']] in ''Another Incident''. [[spoiler:If Ratri couldn't solve the final problem fast enough, her friend Pim will fade away thanks to Napa's arrival in the past, but the school principal was killed anyway.]]
18	* BreakHerHeartToSaveHer: Non-romantic variation--Pim valued her grades very highly and respects the Computer Instructor, but the Instructor broke their heart by dragging down her grade to try and save her from [[spoiler:being chosen for a ritual that sacrificed high-grade students]].
19	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: [[spoiler:The school principal]] was willing to [[spoiler:engage in HumanSacrifice]] just so he could keep his job as [[spoiler:the head of the best school in the district]].
20	* CypherLanguage: Used purposefully as a puzzle! In both games, you'll certainly encounter some "encrypted" codes, which are just Thai words typed without turning on a Thai input method (like l;ylfu (This is "สวัสดี" (Sawasdee), hello in Thai).
21	* DarknessEqualsDeath: Are your flashlight's and camera's batteries dead? Is your candle burnt out? [[GameOver You will be gone soon...]]
22	* DraggedIntoDrag: [[PlayedForDrama Darkly played]] with the unnamed boy's fate; he was cross-dressed into Rurkrean by force so [[spoiler:he could be sacrificed]].
23	* {{Determinator}}: According to WordOfGod, the Computer instructor repeated the loop to help Ratri 413 times. Are you [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Akemi Homura]]?
24	* EnterSolutionHere: In ''Another Incident'', there is the puzzle to get a code to unlock a door [[spoiler:to kill the school principal via the monster]], which is in binary code. You must use a ASCII Code table to translate it, assuming you're not a computer geek.
25	* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Everybody who Ratri meets in the Zero building doesn't die, but is worse off]]. The girls who are the sacrifices will get their life sucked out and [[spoiler:[[AndIMustScream will be stuck in the building forever]].]]
26	* FaceHeelTurn:
27	** One ending has Napa [[spoiler:trying to kill everyone]].
28	** Everyone in the Zero building, because of a DespairEventHorizon. Especially Mali and [[spoiler:Kate Willson]].
29	** BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil, or we should say [[spoiler:being killed by Reandee and [[AndIMustScream stuck there]] makes you evil, for ''Another Incident'''s cast]].
30	* HeroicRROD: In ''Another Incident'', your SprintMeter doubles as a LifeMeter; if you run too much, the exhaustion will kill you.
31	* ImprobableWeaponUser: In order to defend themselves from what they find in the school, Napa uses a shovel. In ''Another Incident'', Ratri finds and uses a metal pipe ([[spoiler:mostly against Reandee]]).
32	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kanya in ''Another Incident''. She always mocks our protagonist, but in the end [[spoiler:before she is gone (presumably dead), she comes to rescue Ratri from Tawan and tells her to keep going and doesn't listen to anyone, even herself.]]
33	* JumpScare: Better prepare your heart before playing, as you will get a scare before the GameOver when you meet Reandee or [[spoiler:Rukrean]], or if you run out of [[LifeMeter HP]]. As seen by how [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfh3o0bIx_6Qm3tKoMBK-Mgq1RGjOY4qW this Let's player]] plays ''[=LAst WEEK=]'' and ''[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfh3o0bIx_6RjzgFoCDWPXy9ISHaf9l25 Another Incident]]'', you will likely see it a lot.
34	* KarmicDeath: In both games' True Endings, [[spoiler:the school principal is killed by the very same monster that killed all previous sacrifices]]. This is also assumed to happen in ''Another Incident'''s Happy Ending.
35	* KillItWithFire: [[spoiler:''Another Incident'''s Burning Building Ending. After killing the monster, Ratri can decide to PayEvilUntoEvil by burning down the whole school, which kills her AND the school principal in the process.]]
36	* KilledMidSentence: The computer instructor [[spoiler:is killed thanks to the building demolishing, while telling Napa what date she needs to go... AND it happens to be the critical point to the ending you will gain!]]
37	* LockAndKeyPuzzle: Occurs frequently, such as a regular key and door, seeking a head for headless body statue by [[spoiler:killing the science teacher]], and, of course, searching for a metallic calendar to move to the next day.
38	* {{Mascot}}: Reandee and Rukrean for Vitheesart. Oh, and [[CreepyDoll they are]] [[GameOver the thing you NEED to avoid!]] Oh, and they can also [[spoiler:control anybody who wears them!]]
39	* MeaningfulName:
40	** Napa means "Sky", mostly used in meaning of "Day". Ratri means "Night". Nice contrast, as they're both protagonists!
41	** Reandee means "Good studying". [[spoiler:And in this game, this mascot is "good at studying" students' lives.]]
42	** Tawan means "the sun".
43	** Vitheesart means "the subject of the way" (it comes from two words, "วิถี", way in Thai and "ศาสตร์", subject in Thai)
44	** According to WordOfGod, [=LAst=] WEEK is written in this form instead of [=LAST WEEK=] because the creator wants to represent “the first” (as in, the first ranking school of Vitheesart) in form of that “st”.
45	* MistakenForMurderer: In the first game, Napa thinks that the guard is the murderer. [[spoiler:He isn't and ends up dead.]] And Mali thinks [[spoiler:Napa]] killed [[spoiler:him]], so [[spoiler:she kills Napa because he was her father]].
46	* MultipleEndings: A lot in both games.
47	** For the first game, we have:
48	*** [[GoldenEnding True Ending - Sacrifice]], where Napa [[spoiler:[[PayEvilUntoEvil sacrifices the school principal]].]]
49	*** Good Ending - Change, where Napa [[spoiler:decides to send herself as the [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifice]] instead of Ratri, [[BitterSweetEnding preventing the vengeful mass murdering by Ratri's father in the process]].]]
50	*** Normal Ending - Good Luck, where Napa GoMadFromTheRevelation [[spoiler:on the fact that she is the reincarnation of Pim and the computer teacher, [[DrivenToSuicide and then...]]]]
51	*** Bad Ending 1 - School Slaughter, where [[spoiler:Reandee kills her just after she travels back into the day where the mass murder in the school happen]]
52	*** Bad Ending 2 - Murderer, where Napa [[spoiler:[[FaceHeelTurn decides to kill everyone]] in the day of school slaughter]].
53	** For the second game, we have:
54	*** [[GoldenEnding True Ending - Tomorrow Together]], where [[spoiler:Ratri releases the curse just in time, allows it to use [[KarmicDeath the school principal as a final sacrifice]], and Pim doesn't disappear]].
55	*** [[NonIndicativeName Good Ending - Hope]], where Ratri [[spoiler:solves the puzzle too slow, causing Pim to disappear]]
56	*** Normal Ending - Sacrifice Girl, where [[spoiler:Ratri [[HeroicSacrifice sacrifices herself]], so the massacre can be avoided.]]
57	*** Correct End - Father's Revenge, in which [[spoiler:Pim tries to kill school principle, but Ratri shields him and dies instead, leading to Ratri's Dad coming to kill everyone and the original game's events. NiceJobBreakingItHero!]].
58	*** Bad Ending 1 - Burning Building, where [[spoiler:after killing the monster, Ratri can decide to PayEvilUntoEvil by burning down the whole school to avenge the four sacrifices, which kills her AND the school principal in the process.]]
59	*** Bad Ending 2 - Desperate Future, where [[spoiler:Ratri listens to A2's prediction and [[DespairEventHorizon falls into despair]], stuck in the Zero building forever...]]
60	* NoBodyLeftBehind: In ''Another Incident'', there's [[spoiler:Pim]]'s death in the Good Ending, and Ratri's deaths in [[spoiler:Correct End - Father's Revenge]], Bad Ending 1 - Burning Building, and Bad Ending 2 - Desperate Future, none of which leave a corpse.
61	* NonindicativeName: The Good ending in Another Incident; [[spoiler:the school principal was killed, the ritual was stopped for good, but Pim is gone.]]
62	* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: Averted! [[spoiler:In ''[=LAst=] WEEK: Another Incident'', Laila is killed by the monster and tells Ratri to leave her. This is also averted further in regard of the calendar system, as only the person who changes the calendar will go to the next day, leaving everyone else there behind.]]
63	* OurTimeTravelIsDifferent: Not quite a "Time machine", the Calendar system is more like a "Time controller" system. It's a complex mystic calendar system, that has metallic calendar plates that have dates written on it to go to a certain day. Though this is mostly used for travelling to another day, it can be used as a real TimeMachine to [[spoiler:go back into the past, exactly what the Computer instructor and Napa do in the True/Normal end routes]].
64	* PlotCoupon : The metallic calendar plates--you need these to activate the Calendar system and move to the next day. [[ChekhovsGun They're also used later]] [[spoiler:to go back in time]].
65	* ThePerfectionist: [[spoiler:The school's principal]] has this as the motivation behind their actions, as [[spoiler:in his past, the school was nearly closed because it wasn't perfect enough, thanks to the education's low quality and having only a few students]].
66	* PoweredByAForsakenChild: How does Vitheesart's school stay as the number one school? [[spoiler:HumanSacrifice, by sending a Grade 4 (Thai equivalent of Grade A) girl to be consumed by a monster in a ritual that occurs every ten years that 7 is last digit with some side effect of time distortion.]]
67	* {{Reincarnation}}: In the prequel ''Another Incident'', [[YouCantFightFate no matter what the player does]] to [[spoiler:change the timeline]], [[spoiler:Pim]] will die anyway, since [[spoiler:Napa]] is [[spoiler:Pim]]’s reincarnation.
68	* SadisticTeacher: With the exception of the Computer instructor, every teacher at Vitheesart supports the ongoing [[spoiler:HumanSacrifice]], which is of course detrimental to the students' well-beings. [[spoiler:After the timeline changes to fix everything, the teachers become less sadistic.]]
69	* ScrewDestiny:
70	** In ''Another Incident''. [[spoiler:After its upgrade, A2 says to Ratri that she will die no matter what. You can let her say that, even if their fate is to be dead, she'd prefer to die trying rather than waiting for it. This will cause his program to recalculate and allows the emergency door to be opened.]]
71	** This can also be averted later in the same game. [[spoiler:If you tell Pim about the A2 prediction, after they walk out of the Zero building and find the school principal, Pim will try to kill him but instead kill Ratri, and then Ratri's dad's massacre will occur...]]
72	* ShoutOut: There are a lot of scenes identical to ones from ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'', especially the date change scene.
73	* SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong: [[spoiler:Napa [[TimeTravelTenseTrouble fixed/fixes]] everything by using the Calendar system to travel into the past. If you do it right, she will stop the ritual by killing the school principal. This removes Ratri's dad's event, prevents/prevented a lot of girls from being trapped, and even prevented the school from being closed!]]
74	* ThemeNaming: When written in English, the name of four sacrificial girls(Kanya, Laila, Tawan, Ratri) has five letters with two syllables.
75	* TimedMission: In ''Another Incident'', the final puzzle will require you to enter a code to [[spoiler:open the door that contains the monster]] in a limited amount of time before [[spoiler:Pim fades away]].
76	* ViewerFriendlyInterface: A2, a computer with BenevolentAI that the player interacts with, uses a large font that takes up most of the screen.
77	* YouCantFightFate: No matter what your ending is, [[spoiler:Pim]] will die anyway, either by [[spoiler:Ratri's PapaWolf, vanishing thanks to Napa's arrival, or by a normal accident]], because [[spoiler:she has to reincarnate into Napa]].
