▲A [[Visual Novel]] created by Flying Shine in 2003. ''CROSS†CHANNEL'' is an [[Eroge|H-game]] for PC with a [[Bleached Underpants|clean version]] available for [[Play Station 2]] and [[Play Station Portable]] called ''CROSS†CHANNEL ～To all people～'', and a [[Updated Rerelease|newer version]] with added CGs and scenarios for the [[Xbox 360]] called ''CROSS†CHANNEL [[In memory of all people]]''. A translation for both the clean and H version is available from [http://amaterasu.tindabox.net/index.php?page=downloads Amaterasu Translations].
▲Self proclaimed "Love Aristocrat" Taichi Kurosu attends a school called Gunjou Institute with his fellow members of the Broadcasting Club. Gunjou is a place for people who, based on an adaption exam, have an abnormally high adaptation coefficient. This means that the government has deemed them unlikely to be able to adapt into society. Taichi himself has an adaption coefficient of over 80, which is thought to be impossible.
After a slow falling out between members, Taichi attempts to bring the fractured Broadcasting Club back together by getting them to go on a camping trip together. This trip serves to only fracture the relationships between members even more, ending up a disaster. But as the members make their way back to town, they discover that every living thing has somehow disappeared from the world, leaving only them behind. Taichi tries to convince the others to help rebuild the broadcasting antenna so as to contact other survivors.
Strangely enough, the characters were the basis for the highly popular flash game ''[[
{{tropelist}}
* [[All Men Are Perverts]]: The few male characters we do see are rather perverted to some degree.
* [[All There in the Manual]] : The bonus scenario Tower of Friends, which (sort of) answers some of the most puzzling questions of the main game via a quick [[Mind Screw]] full of [[Nightmare Fuel]].
Line 23 ⟶ 21:
* [[Axes At School]]: Kiri has the crossbow she pulls out of her [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]. Unfortunately, there's nobody else but the cast in the whole city.
* [[Batman Gambit]]
* [[
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]
* [[Bleached Underpants]]
** If you compare the old and new trailers, you can see that they even edited out the [[Panty Shot|Panty Shots]].
* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: Somewhat literally when Taichi explains what's in his handmade popsicles. Misato is ''[[Scary Shiny Glasses|not]]'' pleased. <ref>[[The Gadfly|He was joking]], of course.</ref>
Line 42 ⟶ 41:
* [[Conflict Ball]]: Kiri has a death grip on one for the majority of the game. {{spoiler|She does have a reason, but her actions are still not helping the situation everyone is in.}}
* [[Deconstruction]] : Isn't it interesting how all these tsunderes, cuckoolanders, emotionless girls and whatnot are all living together in a community for ''those who cannot function properly in society?''
** [[Golden Ending]]: deconstructed as pointed out by Youko {{spoiler|the hundreds or thousands of times Taichi has repeated the game has resulted in countless [[Bad Ending|bad endings]] for Taichi and there IS no super happy ending out there. And ultimately she is proven right in the game's [[Bittersweet Ending]], where everyone but Taichi gets sent back to the real world, Taichi remains in self-imposed exile, and its left questionable if a few people who he sends back will ever fully recover and become functional members of society (Touko & Youko in particular.)}}
* [[Dartboard of Hate]]: Except replace "darts" with "[[The Archer|crossbow]]" and "dartboard" with {{spoiler|a doll of Taichi}}.
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: Taichi suffers some pretty major [[Sanity Slippage]] throughout the whole game, but he comes closest to this in {{spoiler|Youko's route}}. After his realization, he finally decides to truly become [[The Atoner]] and {{spoiler|return everyone to the original world.}}
Line 52 ⟶ 51:
* [[Ear Cleaning]]: In Miki's route. Unfortunately, Miki is ''terrible'' with this.
* [[Elevator School]]: Gunjou is one without the university.
▲* [[Every One Remembers the Stripper]]: Or more specifically, everyone remembers the [http://kotaku.com/5754680/the-xbox-360-game-bundled-with-a-vibrating-wand special edition vibrator].
* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]] : {{spoiler|Tower of Friends.}}
* [[Four Loves]]: Considering the [[The Power of Love|theme of the game]], it appears often.
Line 108 ⟶ 106:
** Thankfully, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVNZ4rcScUQ the new trailer] is a lot more indicative of the mood.
* {{spoiler|[[Trapped in Another World]]}}
* [[Updated Rerelease]]: ''CROSS†CHANNEL
* [[Utsuge]]: Especially in the final weeks.
* [[Wham! Line]]: At least for Kiri: {{spoiler|"[[Broken Pedestal|Your Nii-san was a horrible, filthy rapist]]."}}
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Youko nearly pulls off one in the final week, figuring out what Taichi is up to she aids him without question in sending everyone else back to the real world. Then when only the two of them remain she torches all the saved records from the hokora then captures and plans to kill his "saved" self and live forever in a perpetual loop with him as a phenomena, with his reset self none the wiser to what has happened and incapable of learning the truth. Only a brutal last minute [[Hannibal Lecture]] by Taichi allows him to turn the tables and force her to leave instead.}}
* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: Largely averted, as everyone and their dog notices Taichi's pure white hair and remarks upon it as strange. It's also a kind of a plot point.
