11eyes

Five years ago, Kakeru Satsuki's older sister committed suicide. Since then, his right eye has become a shade of gold, and he wears an eyepatch to cover it. The only person he's friends with is his childhood friend Yuka and classmates Kaori and Tadashi. But inside, he has no interest in anything. While walking home with Yuka one day, the world suddenly changes. The sky becomes red, the moon becomes black and Eldritch Abominations called Laruva roam the street. This is just the beginning of what is about to unfold.

A unique feature of the game is the Cross Vision mode, which allows the player to see events that have already happened from a different character's perspective. This is necessary, since Kakeru's narrative alone can't capture the whole story.

11eyes -Sin, damnation and the atonement girl- is a Visual Novel released by Lass in early 2008. In early 2009, a second story was created, titled 11eyes -The Story of Another side-. The second story has an almost entirely new cast, and promotes minor characters like Shiori and Kaori to main character status. These two stories were grouped together into an Updated Rerelease for the Xbox 360 titled 11eyes CrossOver.

The series also has a Gaiden Game, 11eyes -Resona Forma-.

The game is a indirect sequel to 3days, an earlier novel. Several characters between the games are related.

An anime adaptation, covering Sin, damnation and the atonement girl's story, aired in the fall of 2009 and is now playing on the Anime Network.

Can also be viewed legally at Crunchyroll here.

Tropes in 11eyes include:

 * Action Girl: Yukiko, Kusakabe, Kukuri
 * All the Myriad Ways

 * Anti Magic: Yuka's late blooming ability. Problem is, it cancels out her friends' powers too. She decides to call it "Hands of Glory". Though she doesn't actually know what that means...
 * A Man Is Not a Virgin: Or a woman, if some of Misuzu's dialogue is anything to go by.
 * Artificial Human:
 * Bath Suicide: Kukuri's death.
 * Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Major revolutions in history, like the two World Wars, the French and Russian Revolutions, etc, were caused by Liselotte Werckmeister. Liselotte was even an acquaintance of Hitler.

 * Bleached Underpants: Applies to CrossOver and the anime (mostly).
 * Body Horror: When Misuzu uses her strongest blade, her right arm turns black, swells up and sprouts spikes.

 * Broken Bird: Practically all of the main female characters. Some are worse than others, but they all have a tragic backstory.
 * Bromantic Foil: Tadashi. He never gets involved in the plot in any meaningful way, and is the Butt Monkey of the story. In Story of Another side, that changes a bit.

 * Cat Smile: Yukiko displays one occasionally, usually when groping the other girls.
 * Child Soldiers: Yukiko
 * Clingy Jealous Girl: Yuka.

 * Club President: Yukiko creates the Modern Society Studies Club and ends up roping every one of the chosen ones into it.
 * Conveniently an Orphan: Everyone, to a degree, though Misuzu's mother is still alive and Yuka is living with a nice adopted mother and father. Takahisa is a Self Made Orphan. Life was not kind to the six chosen ones.
 * Continuity Nod: Misuzu is descended from Ryuuichi Kusukabe, a character who first appeared in 3days. Yukiko makes a reference to Tsukiko, her older sister, who also appeared in 3days.
 * Crouching Moron Hidden Badass: Yukiko seems like a ditz most of the time,
 * Crystal Prison
 * Cursed With Awesome: Kakeru and his eye's ability to see future events. It plays a big role in stopping the Big Bad in episode 12.
 * Cute Mute: Kukuri.
 * In a less cute way - Lisette in the introduction, when her throat was torn and she was trying to scream.
 * Damsel in Distress: Yuka.
 * Subverted with
 * Dark Action Girl: Pretty much all the female Dark Knights.
 * Dark Chick: Superbia

 * Kakeru now has X-Ray Vision that can see through clothing: regardless of gender.
 * When Yukiko removes her glasses, she acts like she's on an aphrodisiac, including kissing Yuka.
 * Takahisa now has water powers. He can shoot a tiny stream of water from his finger.
 * Misuzu summons vibrators.
 * The Larva are now Ridiculously Cute Critters.
 * Kururi can speak, but nobody wants her to. Everything she says is bleeped, everything she draws is pixellated.
 * The Black Knights are now the Pink Knights, an all-pink Sentai team (with roll call) who die because of their own dramatic explosion.
 * Liselotte is now Avaritia's dominatrix.
 * Then it becomes a Hot Springs Episode, revealing that Yuka's Anti Magic has turned into The Nudifier. It also turns Kakeru and Takahisa into girls.
 * Dead Little Sister: Older sister, but the effect is much the same.
 * Death By Origin Story: Kukuri.
 * Deus Sex Machina: Misuzu also explains that it's a way to transfer power among the Kusakabe, and Kakeru does have some Kusakabe blood in him.
 * Dissonant Serenity: In the anime, Yuka becomes increasingly calm as the tension rises.
 * Doppelganger: Kukuri Tachibana looks exactly like (and has the same name as) Kakeru's sister Kukuri. In the Xbox 360 version, a real doppelganger is a sub-boss.
 * Downer Ending:
 * Driven to Suicide: Kakeru's sister in the very beginning.
 * Early Bird Cameo: Early on in the anime, you can see at least one instance of a pillar of flame lighting up in the background while Kakeru/Yuka are in the Red Night area. Takahisa can also be seen in the school and in the Red Night area, but we're not introduced to him properly until about episode 4.
 * Earn Your Happy Ending:
 * Eldritch Location
 * Enemy Mine:
 * Epic Flail: Kukuri's guardian angel, Abraxas, weilds some wicked maces. Abraxas is also a case of Chained By Fashion.
 * Evil Tower of Ominousness: Landmark Tower in the real world is replaced by six pillars where the Black Knights reside.
 * Expy - Kakeru Satsuki bears more than a passing semblance to Minato Arisato from Persona 3. And someone capitalized on the fact that Misuzu resembles Mitsuru, and came up with this. (Warning Danbooru link)
 * Eyepatch of Power: To cover Kakeru's Mismatched Eyes.
 * Eyes of Gold: Known specifically as the Eye of Aeon. It allows Kakeru to see the future. The real value of the eye is that it allows the user to assimilate previous users' experience, memories and above all, to see different possibilities of the future and realize the one that the user desires.
 * Fan Service With a Smile: There's the entire ongoing subplot to get everyone who's not Yukiko into the outfits of Cyberiada, the cafe where Kakeru and Yukiko work. It ends up succeeding.
 * Fan Web Comic: Pixiv user Zouazarashi drew fancomics featuring the Black Knights around the time of the game's debut, and is now drawing them for the anime's website. The Black Knights act a lot goofier in these than they do normally.
 * First Name Basis: Yuka worries about this between Kakeru and Misuzu in the anime, noting a change in dynamics between them.
 * Genki Girl: Yukiko Hirohara
 * Gory Discretion Shot: Played straight for many of the characters that get killed.
 * Gotta Kill Them All: The Black Knights appear to have this goal for the heroes.
 * Gratuitous Hungarian: In the anime version; the most noticeable location being the episode subtitles. There's also a bit of Gratuitous Italian in episode four when Tadashi is trying to get close to Shiori and failing horribly.
 * The episode subtitles are getting worse after each episode. The opening narration though is really good, thanks to being voiced by a hungarian, András Faragó. Which begs the question why no one asked for his opinion on the translations.
 * Healing Factor: Yukiko shrugs off some pretty serious damage during the course of events. That she was a child soldier who had this ability exploited really reveals what she's gone through.
 * Healing Hands: Another of Kukuri's powers. She even equates it to an RPG.
 * Heel Face Turn:
 * Heroic BSOD: Misuzu, after
 * Heroic Sacrifice:
 * Hot for Student: Saiko-sensei, the school nurse, though she smokes, drinks and is frequently sniffing around for virgins. Kakeru wonders how she became the nurse in the first place.
 * Hot Chick With a Sword: Misuzu Kusakabe. Five different swords, in fact.
 * Humans Are Bastards: Liselotte's motivation for wanting to Kill Em All.
 * I Cannot Self Terminate:
 * Lisette
 * Impaled With Extreme Prejudice: Yukiko does this a couple of times, has it happen to her as well, and later
 * Instant Runes: Acedia, Yuka, Misuzu,
 * I Know You Are in There Somewhere Fight: Kakeru to Liselotte in her final Cross Vision view. "Lisette Weltall!" "No, I'm Liselotte Werckmeister--" "Lisette Weltall! Listen to me!"
 * I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: In episode 11, after learning Yuka may still be alive, Kakeru vows to find her. Then Misuzu mentions this trope in her mind.
 * I Will Protect Her: Kakeru's motivation for learning how to fight and protect Yuka.
 * Interesting, Yuka gender-flips this trope when invoking it on Kakeru later in the anime.
 * Jerk With a Heart of Gold: Takahisa acts cold towards most people, but he does save them occasionally in the other world.
 * Karma Houdini: Incoming apocalypse be damned, how can someone get away with brutally murdering three of the most sympathetic characters, one of whom was completely innocent. Well,  managed to pull it off somehow.
 * Despite becoming overly clingy, putting a razor blade in another of the cast's tea and willingly unleashing the Big Bad,  somehow gets out of punishment without one single character calling   out.
 * Kill Em All: The bad ending. It rivals End but is revealed to only be a possible scenario.
 * Light Is Not Good:
 * Little Miss Badass: Yukiko, when she takes her glasses off.
 * Little Miss Snarker: Shiori Momono, a returnee from Italy. Frequently wishes death on Tadashi. Then again, so does Kaori, but in a much more physically violent manner.
 * Lovecraftian Superpower: The strongest of Misuzu's blades has some elements of this, including being powered by her own life force, that proves why she doesn't use it very often.
 * Love You and Everybody: Done by Kakeru.
 * Magitek: Syu, the protagonist of CrossOver's new story, makes use of this, as he's been seen casting Instant Runes from his cell phone.
 * Merged Reality
 * Mood Whiplash: "Kakeru-kun, I've made you lunch and FREAKY MASK BLOBS!!"
 * Multiple Endings:
 * My Sister Is Off Limits: In Yukiko's after story, Ema's thanking Kakeru for all the help in getting the school festival ready. Takahisa becomes furious.
 * Nice Hat: Kukuri wears one.
 * Nice Job Breaking It Hero:
 * Nice Job Fixing It Villain:
 * Not What It Looks Like: In episode six of the anime, Yuka walks in on Kakeru and Misuzu in what looks to be a compromising position. Some Intimate Healing was involved after the Eye of Aeon was used for the first time.
 * Official Couple: Unless her route is chosen, Yukiko and Takahisa end up together.
 * Ominous Latin Chanting: The OP ("Lunatic Tears...") has ominous chanting of the Seven Deadly Sins. Until it's revealed that these are, in fact, the names of the Black Knights. Theme Naming runs among them. Ominous Chanting is present in CrossOver's OP ("Endless Tears...") and the anime's OP ("Arrival of Tears") as well.
 * One Man Army: Verard. Though he has some help for the second one.
 * On the Next Episode of Catchphrase: "Is there an answer at the end of the nightmare?"

 * Red Sky Take Warning
 * Ruritania: The nation of Drasuvania, which figures into the backstories of Verard and Yukiko.

 * Scaled Up: For the final battle, Avaritia turns into a giant black dragon.
 * Scars Are Forever: Invidia
 * School Festival: Putting on one is a major subplot in Yukiko and Takahisa's after stories in Resona Forma.
 * School Nurse: Saiko-sensei. Though with her smoking and chasing after students, she's not very good at the job.
 * Screw Destiny
 * Seven Deadly Sins: A very prominent motif in the story.
 * Shipper On Deck: Saeko, the nurse, seems a bit too interested in trying to hook up Kakeru and Yuka, and later gets mad at Takihasa when he didn't come home. Until she thinks that the reason why was because he spent the night with Yukiko, then seems okay with it, much to his dismay.
 * Shout Out - There is a room full of shout outs in the visual novel. Here's the image.
 * Shut UP Hannibal
 * Sibling Yin-Yang: Takahisa and Ema
 * Simultaneous Arcs: Essentially what Cross Vision does.
 * Sleep Cute: After the first Red Night, Kakeru decides to stay at Yuka's house. She holds his hand as they sleep beside each other. Aww...

 * Talking With Signs: Kukuri Tachibana.
 * Tears of Blood: Kakeru, usually when weird supernatural stuff starts happening.

 * Unlucky Childhood Friend: Yuka and Kakeru, Tadashi and Kaori.
 * Unstoppable Rage:
 * Weird Moon: The moon is black, three times larger than normal, and once Kakeru and Yuka leave the strange otherworld, still visible.
 * Wham Episode: Episode 9. Things are not the same anymore for the main characters after that.
 * What the Hell Hero: Interesting trope for this series.
 * When All You Have Is a Hammer: Takahisa's method of fighting is with fire, since that's all he has in the Red Night area.
 * Whip Sword: Invidia. It resembles a human spine.
