* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: This game loves this trope! As you progress, your [[Hammerspace]] slowly but surely becomes a wardrobe. Though at least, clothes also provide some protection in battles.

** Played straight with ''real'' kittens.

** Subverted with ''Leebles'': they are not cats, though sometimes they also [[Rule of Cute|play that role]].

* [[Dressing As the Enemy]]: Achaius, Aero, Dominic and Andy {{spoiler|disguise as Ciro soldiers in Debonet}}.

* [[Everything Talks]]: Besides animals, wooden signs also talk sometimes... and who knows what other stuff?

* [[Fictionary]]: The Ciroan language. [[Word of God]] says there are syllabic similarities to both Latin and Japanese. Moreover, the Ciroan songs on the [http://laurashigihara.bandcamp.com/album/melolune-original-soundtrack-part-1 Melolune OST] ("''Melolune''" and "''Carya de Mio''") do have meanings. But this is all we know: actual meanings of specific words, phrases, lyrics are not revealed.

* [[Invisible to Normals]]: Melolunes.

* [[It Got Worse]]: Though some Leebles express their worries about the increasing number of Ciro soldiers camping near the village, it's not really a problem as long as the soldiers are neutral. But it turns out {{spoiler|they intend to destroy Leeble Village}}.

* [[Kick the Dog]]: A Ciro soldier {{spoiler|attacks a Leeble}}. Besides that it demonstrates the cruelty of Ciro soldiers, it starts up the story.

* [[Leitmotif]]: And how! [[Background Magic Field|The core theme of the game is music]].

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: Most characters have names, and many of them are recurring characters, so the trope is earned.

* [[Mooks]]: Ciro soldiers. They are nameless and are free to be slaughtered without any moral consideration. No one will ever shed a single teardrop for them, or [[Fanon|think of their orphaned kids they left behind]].

* [[Multi Platform]]: Averted completely. Would you like to enjoy Melolune on any non-Windows systems? You can't! And no, it won't work with [http://www.winehq.org/ Wine]!

* [[No Name Given]]: "''Big sister.''" Despite the creator was caring a lot to name the vast majority of the characters (even minor ones), this pretty girl is still left without a name.

** Can you imagine that Achaius' family really didn't name her? Probably she does have a name, it's just not revealed.

* [[Our Zombies Are Different]]: Flesh-eating zombies in the swamp... and high-class zombies. Ahh, and there is one who really [[Plants vs. Zombies (Video Game)|loves plants]].

* [[Premiseville]]: The Leeble Village.
