The third game in KID's ''Infinity'' series of visual novels
The first is the story of Fuyukawa Kokoro, a psychiatric student traveling to the SPHIA (Specified Psychiatric Hospital for Isolation and Aegis) facility to interview a patient residing there. Following an accident in which the plane on which Kokoro was traveling crashed in the mountains, the survivors of the crash attempt to survive in the mountains with limited supplies until they can be rescued. The other survivors include Mayuzumi Lin, Yomogi Seiji, and Kusuda Yuni.
Line 14:
The second ongoing story follows Yukidoh Satoru, a resident of SPHIA, where he resides with Utsumi Kali, Inubushi Keiko, and Kusuda Yuni. Satoru's story revolves around several incidents which make it appear as though somebody is trying to kill him, as well as Satoru's investigations into the mysterious "personality transfer" phenomenon which causes his and Kokoro's minds to swap between the two of them...

This game is part of the ''Infinity'' series, so expect [[Mind Screw|spoilers]] while reading the tropes list.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Absurdly Youthful Mother]]: As revealed by the tips, {{spoiler|Utsumi, who going by the timeline would have had Junichi when she was fourteen}}.
** {{spoiler|1=One of the Drama CDs explains this by revealing that Junichi was an accident from the one time Yomogi and Utsumi had sex before they were married. Otherwise, the relationship was mostly sexless.}}
Line 34 ⟶ 33:
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Utsumi is half-Japanese, half-Indian.
* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Satoru and Kokoro fail to convince their companions of the personality transfer, although most of them do recognize that the two of them have multiple personalities.
* [[Class Reunion]]: Yuni [[Discussed Trope|mentions the cliché turnabout]] at the beginning in the plane.
* [[Continuity Nod]]:
** {{spoiler|The Tips reveal that Enomoto is working for a not-explicitly-named German/Japanese pharmaceutical company which has recently started [[Ever 17|funding an amusement park and researching biological weapons]]}}
Line 56 ⟶ 55:
* [[Drink Order]]: {{spoiler|Enomoto}} repeats a few different times that he very much prefers black coffee (and yes, this actually becomes important in the Apoptosis ending). Satoru mentions that he does as well.
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: {{spoiler|Kokoro in one ending; feeling responsible for Yuni and Yomogi's deaths, she takes the only way out.}}
* [[Dude, She's Like, in
* {{spoiler|[[Dummied Out]]: In the game's data, full sprite sheets for the real Hotori and Sayaka (with a lot more expressions than in her one scene) can be found, suggesting they might have had a bigger part in the story. Furthermore, "Extra Voices" much like the ones in Ever17 can be found in the data, but were never implemented.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Dying Dream]]: Several Bad Ends turn the whole game into one, as a result of a [[Time Paradox]] created by those endings.}}
Line 64 ⟶ 63:
* {{spoiler|[[Fetus Terrible]]}}: Subverted with {{spoiler|Yomogi and Utsumi's children -- they appear to be this due to their actions in Kokoro/Satoru's bodies, but the TIPS reveals that they aren't aware of what they're doing or that it's wrong.}}
* [[Fission Mailed]]: Satoru's good ending finishes with the same message given on all of the bad endings.
* [[Four
** The Cynic: Lin
** The Optimist: Kokoro
Line 84 ⟶ 83:
* [[Guide Dang It]]: There are over 30 endings, and most of them [[Downer Ending|aren't happy]].
** Many are also extremely difficult to access if you don't know what you're doing. to And god help you if you decide to try for 100% completion, which, due to a few events that occur at random, may be literally impossible without a guide.
* {{spoiler|[[Half-Identical Twins]]: Yomogi and Utsumi's twins. Surprising, considering how [[Ever 17|other]] [[
* [[Ho Yay]]: {{spoiler|Enomoto}} takes his coffee with HOYAY.
* [[Hyde Plays Jekyll]]
Line 135 ⟶ 134:
** {{spoiler|The TIPS reveal that this is a combination of the shock Hotori is experiencing from the aftermath of the plane crash and her naturally shy personality.}}
** {{spoiler|Hotori actually gets better by the end of Satoru's route, only to lose her speech ''again'' after getting caught in the avalanche.}}
* [[Spell My Name
** Not to mention Yuni, whose name was written in the original OP movie as Uni.
* [[Split Personality]]: Keiko Inubushi. Kokoro and Satoru use this as an explanation for their personality transfers (which isn't necessarily a lie, [[Jedi Truth|but isn't the entire truth]])
Line 148 ⟶ 147:
* [[Third-Act Stupidity]]: Once you recover from the [[Third-Act Misunderstanding]], if Kokoro guards the remaining rations, she finds after another switch that the she's somehow eaten the rations and thinks that Satoru ate them in an act of this. {{spoiler|Subverted. When you see that switch from Satoru's point of view, he's already found the rations to be gone and assumes that Kokoro ate them. Like most of the inexplicable occurences, this is actually to be blamed on one of Utsumi's twins (the male twin, specifically), who got into Kokoro's body before Satoru, and not knowing any better, gobbled them up}}.
* [[Timeline-Altering MacGuffin]]: The newspaper from July, 2011.
* [[Tomato in
** {{spoiler|Bad Ending #28 also reveals that the character we really thought was Satoru all along was actually Enomoto, and that the two switched bodies before 2012.}}
* [[Trauma-Induced Amnesia]]: Satoru, probably? This is part of the [[Mind Screw]].
Line 161 ⟶ 160:
* [[Wham! Episode]]: {{spoiler|"Apoptosis" [[Bad End]]. It's one long chain of [[The Reveal|reveals]], concluding with Satoru being killed by his own past self (which actually is not even ''his'' past self).}}
* [[Wham! Line]]: The last line of the game:
{{quote|
** In a similar vein, one of the last lines of "Apoptosis" [[Bad End]]:
{{quote|
* [[White Void Room]]: {{spoiler|The Hotarubi Mine transfer point room. Justified as it was specifically designed this way so that no one inside could tell where they were.}}
* [[Wild Mass Guessing]]: Practically required in order to understand the game.
