Line 88:
* [[Guide Dang It]]: Every. Single. Puzzle. Except the one where you put together the sign out in front, which no one bothered to do, since you could read it anyway. But wait, you have to do every puzzle to get [[100% Completion]]? [[Guide Dang It]]!
* [[Hate Sink]]: [[Dark Action Girl|Sofia Callaghan]] from the Wii sequel is [[Flat Character|nothing more]] than a [[It's All About Me|selfish]], [[Manipulative Bastard|manipulative]] woman willing to commit atrocious deeds for [[Only in It For the Money|money]]. Made even clearer in ''[[Video Game Remake|Recollection]]'', {{spoiler|where the [[Big Bad]] is [[Adaptational Heroism|retooled]] into a [[Anti-Villain|much more sympathetic]] character}}.
* [[Heel Realization]]: {{spoiler|Ryan Gray/Fitzgerald}} in ''[[Video Game Remake|Recollection]]'', after learning {{spoiler|Sayoko refused to be brought back if that meant sacrificing her own daughter.}}
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: Sayoko Robbins. {{spoiler|Both her real and memory self in ''[[Video Game Remake|Recollection]]''.}}
* [[Hot Mom]]/[[Hot Dad]]
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: Naturally. Usually justified in that the stuff she carries is of reasonable size, but it does make for an odd moment in the second game when she pulls Ryan's suitcase out of nowhere to return it to him.
* [[I Can't Reach It]]: So there's a trunk up on a shelf too high to reach. So how about you pick up the baseball hidden in the corner and ''throw it at the large piece of luggage''!
* [[Ill Girl|Ill Boy]]: D had a heart condition when he was alive, which was the reason he and his father went to the Edward mansion. {{spoiler|His heart condition set in while running from his uncle, losing his balance and dying by falling off a cliff
* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: D referring to himself and Ashley as "kindred spirits". Ashley lampshades how lame that was.
* [[Infant Immortality]]: '''[[Averted Trope|Hell no]]'''. The series has at least one case of a child dying, with D in the first game and {{spoiler|Matthew's little sister Kelly}} in the second. ''[[Video Game Remake|Recollection]]'' adds {{spoiler|the original Ryan Fitzgerald}} into the mix.
Line 108 ⟶ 110:
* [[Lock and Key Puzzle]]: There are a few standard locked doors to deal with.
* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]: Elizabeth.
* [[Love Makes You Evil]]: A common theme is that people will do things from questionable to flat-out evil for the people they love.
** In the original game, {{spoiler|Bill was all but stated to have been in love with Sayoko, which Ryan exploited to get him to murder her.}}
** The tragedy of Blood Edward Island was caused by {{spoiler|Thomas trying to kill his brother Henry for the inheritance because he needed to support his sick son.}}
** ''[[Video Game Remake|Recollection]]'' has {{spoiler|[[Living Memory|Ryan Gray/Fitzgerald]]'s motivation being bringing Sayoko back to life [[Because You Were Nice to Me|since she was the only one who understood him]].}}
** Also from ''[[Video Game Remake|Recollection]]'', {{spoiler|Judd Fitzgerald's experiments with ANOTHER were all done to heal his son Ryan from the trauma of losing his mother, and later on bring him back to life.}}
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: {{spoiler|Ryan Grey}}.
* [[Master of Unlocking]]: The TAS gives Ashley the ability to open any electronic lock.
Line 124 ⟶ 131:
* [[Not What It Looks Like]]: A downplayed, but incredibly tragic version. {{spoiler|After witnessing his father's death at his uncle's hands, Daniel saw Henry as an [[Evil Uncle]] who wanted to kill him as well and ran away from him. In reality, Henry only murdered Thomas in self-defense and wanted to explain himself to Daniel and calm him down. [[Tear Jerker|It didn't end well for both of them]].}}
* [[Obviously Evil]]: {{spoiler|Ryan Grey}} in the Wii version.
* [[Offing the Offspring]]: ''[[Video Game Remake|Recollection]]'' has a completely unintentional example with {{spoiler|Judd Fitzgerald trying to cure his incredibly traumatized son Ryan by putting him into the ANOTHER prototype.}}
* [[One-Letter Name]]: D because he can't remember his real name, only the one-letter nickname. {{spoiler|His real name is revealed to be Daniel Edward}}.
* [[One Degree of Separation]]: Sayoko met with quite a few people during her time at Lake Juliet.
Line 150 ⟶ 158:
* [[Screw Politeness, I'm a Senior!]]: Ms. Graham, who's a pretty grouchy person at first. She gets better as Ashley gets to know her.
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: Ashley attempts this at the start of the second game, but she blew most of her money before the start of the game and ends up unable to pay for the bus fare.
* [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]]: {{spoiler|Thomas Edward's motivation for having his grandfather's inheritance is to take care of his son since he had a severe heart condition that could kill him if not treated. Him trying to kill his own brother set a chain of events that led to said son dying from said heart condition anyway (on top of falling off a cliff).}}
* [[Shell-Shocked Veteran]]: {{spoiler|Both Henry and Thomas Edward as a result of [[World War II]], which eventually caused the tragedies of Blood Edward Island}}.
* [[Ship Tease]]:
* [[Shout-Out]]: In ''Another Code R'', Ashley can examine a stepladder in the boathouse. She then thinks to herself, [[Ace Attorney|"It's a ladder. No, wait, that's called a stepladder. What's the difference anyway?"]]
** A rather easy-to-miss example in ''Another Code R'': [[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|"It's dangerous to go alone."]]
Line 177 ⟶ 186:
* [[Unexpected Inheritance]]: The DAS and TAS.
* [[Unfinished Business]]: D and, in the sequel, {{spoiler|Kelly}}.
* [[Unwitting Instigator of Doom]]: The root cause of the Edward family's downfall? None other than {{spoiler|D/Daniel Edward himself, either by his heart condition when he was alive or by scaring Bill (the Edward's last descendant) in the present,
** The whole ANOTHER project in ''[[Video Game Remake|Recollection]]'' happened because of {{spoiler|Ryan Gray/Fitzgerald being horrendously traumatized by his mother's death, making his father try to get him to recover by putting him in the ANOTHER prototype [[Offing the Offspring|with disastrous results]].}}
* [[Video Wills]]: {{spoiler|Sayoko left a message for Ashley in the TAS explaining some of what she did}}.
* [[Villain Exit Stage Left]]: {{spoiler|Sofia manages to get away scott-free at the end of the game, though Ashley does manage to inform Rex about what she was up to}}. Averted in ''[[Video Game Remake|Recollection]]'', when it's mentioned {{spoiler|she got arrested.}}
