10	!!''Okaeri'' contains examples of:
11	* DownerEnding: [[spoiler:The player character takes her own life after finding her mother's body (she having also committed suicide). The only thing the player can do is walk through the woods towards a previously set-up noose]].
12	* DrivenToSuicide: After opening the case, the girl can find [[spoiler:her mother]] in the laundry room hanging from a noose. [[spoiler:The girl then hangs herself in the woods at the end of the game]].
13	* EnterSolutionHere: There's a case in the house that has a lock that requires a code to open. [[spoiler:Inside is a debt slip.]]
14	* InfiniteFlashlight: The flashlight the girl finds has no indicator onscreen that tells you how much battery life is left.
15	* OneWordTitle: Okaeri, naturally. It's the shortened version of okaerinasai, roughly meaning "welcome home".
16	* POVCam: The game is played from the perspective of a Japanese girl in middle school.
17	* PsychologicalHorror: Stated to be one on the UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} page. The game lacks chase sequences or the like, with the horror aspect instead being largely derived from the player character uncovering an AwfulTruth.
18	* StrugglingSingleMother: The protagonist's mother, who works hard to support herself and her daughter; the player character mentions she's been unwell lately. [[spoiler:The player discovers the poor woman's financial situation has gotten so bad she committed suicide]].
19	* TearsOfBlood: The dead woman in the living room has blood coming out of her eyes.
20	* TimeSkip: After the girl finds a paper in the bathroom, it cuts to black, and then to the girl in the forest with subtitles that read "4 hours later".
