TERAH: New Way is a Urban Fantasy video game by Project LETO that places players in the shoes of Gloria Cornix, a young woman suddenly sucked into a plot to reset the world because somebody in the Celestial Bureaucracy filed the paperwork. Joined by a Ragtag Bunch of Misfits, Gloria must decide where her alliances lie.Gloria teams up with her clumsy and completely incompetent angel mentor, Ksa Peterson, a librarian named Aaron who can talk to Time himself (Time's usually drunk, though!), Malachi, who can do anything he believes in, BLU, who can make things happen if she feels enough emotion about them, and Calyx, who... uh, who... eats things?They fight such evils as Humanities Majors, CEO s of large supermarket chains, Dr. President of North Dakota, and teenagers in giant robots.The game features a unique emotion system that determines interactions with NPCs and influences combat.
This work provides examples of:
- Just Following Orders: Peterson's defense for destroying the world.
- Vast Bureaucracy: The Celestial Bureaucracy.
- Super Loser: Ksa Peterson. He may be an angel, but everyone treats him like a doofus.

- Celestial Bureaucracy: The (aptly named) Celestial Bureaucracy is a shining example of this trope.
- Mundane Afterlife: Coolsville tends to be this.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: BLU tends to embody this trope.
- Talk to Everyone: At many points, the only way to progress with the story is to do this.
- Permanently Missable Content: As the game relies heavily on your manipulation of characters' emotions, there tends to be a lot of this.
- Monsters Anonymous: The Coffee House serves as a meeting place for reformed Monsters.
- Secret Government Warehouse: The Complexus.
- The Masquerade: Trigger users have to keep their existence (relatively) secret.
- "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: The Counseling Ending.
