The just-released official second installment, ''Anaksha: Dark Angel'', has Anaksha, known to the media as the "Virgo Killer," in perhaps her most epic adventure yet as she is framed for the murder of an innocent teenager and must find a way to clear her name in addition to finding a kidnapped orphan and putting a stop to a deadly drug epidemic sweeping Santa Lina.

----

* [[All There in the Manual]]: There are large game manuals with descriptions of characters and places on Anaksha's official site. Also, Anaksha has a Twitter account.

* [[Author Avatar]]: In "A New Threat" there is a British Indian hanging out in a nightclub. He is a programmer who wants to create his own game website. His name is Arif.

* {{spoiler|[[Blondes Are Evil]]: Rose.}}

* [[Big Bad]]: Vincent St. Claire. His drug dealing was foreshadowed as far back as mission 4, and it's his actions that start Anaksha on her quest.

* [[Black and Grey Morality]]: The police are useless, and the only one who has the power to challenge the monsters is a vigilante assassin with mental issues.

* [[Chain of Deals]]: The general format of the Mini-Adventures. Anaksha even [[Lampshade|lampshades]] it at the beginning of ''A New Threat'':

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The lighter Slug sells to Jack is {{spoiler|a literal example of this trope.}}

* [[Cold Sniper]]: The main character.

* [[Crapsack World]]: Santa Lina starts out as this, but after Anaksha takes down the serial killer in Mission 9, and Vincent St. Claire in the final level, things finally start to get better.

* [[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Anaksha, and the whole city, earn this after Anaksha takes down St. Claire (who happens to be one of the most powerful crime bosses in the whole city.)

* [[Film Noir]]

* [[Girls Love Stuffed Animals]]: In Anaksha's case, stuffed monkeys, as revealed in the Mini-Adventures.

* [[Gorn]]: Many of Anaksha's killings, especially [[Your Head Asplode|later on]], fall under this. And that's not even speaking of what the [[Serial Killer]] she takes down likes to do to his victims.

** In "Quick Stop," Tracy rats out Melissa, her co-worker, to their boss, about letting Anaksha use their store's bathroom which is reserved for employees only -- technically "following the rules," but most likely done out of spite and still a [[Jerkass]] thing to do under the circumstances, particularly since Melissa has two pre-school age kids to support and the boss puts her into the bind of having to write an apology letter to keep her job, which could get her fired anyway with no grounds for a lawsuit.

* [[Karmic Death]]: {{spoiler|What happens to the man who intended to kill Jack.}}

* [[Meaningful Name]]: Anaksha's company is named 'Zaranna." This is a combination of "Zara" (Anaksha's friend whose death sent her on the vigilante's road) and "Anna" (short for "Anaksha").

* [[Mentor]]: Anaksha has one in Edward, her adoptive grandfather, whom she calls "BabaJi," and who taught her how to use the sniper rifle.

* [[Mission Control]]: Anaksha gains one of these in D, a computer expert and granddaughter of a guy who Edward fought alongside during the war.

* [[Panty Thief]]: Anaksha gets to take one (of a genuinely dangerous kind) down.

* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: As a vigilante assassin, this kind of thing is par for the course for Anaksha.

* [[Potty Emergency]]: Anaksha is in the middle of one at the start of ''Quick Stop''.

* [[Pretty Little Headshots]]: AVERTED. When Anaksha snipes somebody off, it is not pretty. Especially when she gets her hands on Edward's new "Hellhound" ammo, which can [[Your Head Asplode|make people's heads a splode]].

* [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil]]: And child rape even ''more'' so.

* [[Religion of Evil]]: "Children of Pyramid Cube" look like this. Also, in "Dark Angel" four of Anaksha's targets are the followers of the cult which requires drinking animal and human blood.

* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: Anaksha first targets abusive husbands, child rapists and other assorted scumbags, but after St. Claire resurfaces, she spends the entire 3rd act disrupting his operations before finally taking him down in the final mission.

* [[Serial Killer]]: One of the targets, Edward Riley, is a cannibalistic serial killer. He's murdered, skinned and eaten at least forty people, all of them hookers. He is the first target who you get to give a true [[Your Head Asplode]] treatment to, and it couldn't happen to a more deserving piece of work.

* [[A Simple Plan]]: All Anaksha wants to do in ''Quick Stop'' is go to the bathroom and call D. While getting the former is relatively simple, getting the latter proves to be the harder task, particularly since her cellphone is dead and the pay phone has been vandalized.

* [[Slashed Throat]]: How several of Anaksha's targets have murdered people.

* [[Straight Edge]]: Anaksha doesn't smoke, doesn't drink and doesn't do drugs. She's also not too fond of porn in general, and the only ink on her is the Virgo symbol on her left shoulder.

* [[Vigilante Man|Vigilante Woman]]: Anaksha.

* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: The reason Vincent St. Claire tries to obliterate his school is because Anaksha has seriously damaged his operations, and made it harder for him to conceal them. The bogus email he sent to the police and the media in the name of the Virgo Killer flat out shows that Anaksha "made his blood boil."
