Tropes applying to this game:
- Animesque: This game, despite having characters with Western names and cultures, has the art style of a Japanese anime.
- Anime Hair: Some male characters have unrealistic spiky hair.
- Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Cody is the Blonde, Zane, Ace and Emerson are the Brunette, Devin and Lexie are the Redhead.
- Freaky Fashion, Mild Mind: The Sistehcap member, including their former guitarist Devin, all wear pretty tacky and stereotypical punk clothes. However, all of them are nice people, albeit with some quirks thrown in.
- Hello, [Insert Name Here]: You can easily change Lexie's name.
- Homoerotic Subtext: The
Ho Yay between Emerson and Devin did not go unnoticed by the fans, to the point that Pacthesis herself created a boy love comic starring them as the official couple. - Official Couple: The Emerson/Devin comic above suggests a possibility that the end-game couple are Lexie/Ace and Emerson/Devin.
- Pretty Boy: All the male characters are pretty. However, Emerson is the only one whose beauty is noticed and stressed upon In-Universe.
- The Smurfette Principle: Lexie is the only female member of the band, and out of all the girls appearing in the game, she's the only one with plot relevance.
