11	!!Tropes found in this game:
12	* TwentyMinutesIntoThePast: The game takes place on Halloween 2008, but was released in 2018.
13	* AntiClimax: The game builds up to the climatic meeting with Lady Death...[[spoiler:who trips and dies halfway down the hallway]].
14	* DeathByFallingOver: [[spoiler:Lady Death dies when they sprint at the player and suddenly stumble into a flower pot.]] It's notable that [[spoiler: you can knock the flower pot and table yourself, but Lady Death is still scripted to die. Which means she literally dies by falling over nothing.]]
15	* DoubleMeaningTitle: The first meaning is that Inspector James takes ''Trips'' in order to investigate Lady ''Death''. The second meaning makes it a PunBasedTitle.
16	* FirstPersonGhost: The investigator may very well be invisible; none of their body-parts appear on screen.
17	* JumpScare:
18	** The hallway is dark and quiet. Then, loud music starts playing as the lights flicker on, and Lady Death is shown standing at the very end. Then they sprint toward the player.
19	** [[spoiler: The secret ending features your character opening a door with the key they found at the entrance of the hotel. Just as they leave a bloodied hotel room, Lady Death disappears.]]
20	* MoodWhiplash: The game is quiet and builds up to the confrontation with Lady Death...and then [[spoiler:she comically trips and promptly dies, ending the game]]. Cue the somber piano music as the credits roll.
21	* NoTellMotel: The hotel is described as very cheap, and it's the location of Lady Death's most recent murder.
22	* PunBasedTitle: The joke is that [[spoiler:Lady Death dies by tripping. Thus, "Death Trips"]].
