Saya no Uta/YMMV
- And the Fandom Rejoiced: This game will be released in the US. Many cheered.
- Complete Monster: Fuminori slowly becomes one due to Saya's influence.
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: Dr. Tanbo gets one of these when she shoots the frozen Saya while an axe is sticking out of her shoulder.
- Crowning Music of Awesome: "Shoes of Glass". Incidentally, that was from the same composer who did School Days...which tells you something right there.
- Fridge Brilliance: It was mentioned that the death of Fuminori's parents was so grisly, it was difficult to tell their corpses apart. With that in mind, could it be possible that Fuminori's distorted perspective was the result of somehow seeing his parents in that state during the accident?
- Hell Is That Noise: "Scare Shadow", plus pretty much any music or other sound heard through Fuminori's perspective.
- Memetic Mutation: Mentioning this game on some image boards will result in spam of "Turns out your octopus girlfriend is a big nag with curlers in her tentacles, huh?"
- Moral Event Horizon: Happens when Fuminori decides he's fine with eating human flesh.
- Nausea Fuel
- Nightmare Fuel: Seeing everything in Gorn-o-vision. An Eldritch Abomination seeking to convert humanity into its own kind. A formerly normal person slowly (or not) being Driven to Madness, cannibalism, murder, rape, and utter depravity by both of the above. A Fate Worse Than Death for at least one character, or even for every living human in one ending. There's definitely no shortage.
- Squick
- Paranoia Fuel: While the game exaggerates its effects, Agnosia is a real disorder that, due to brain injury or neurological trauma, can distort a person's senses and perception in many different ways. Eep.
- Tear Jerker: The whole damn game, really. The music contributes a great deal to this.
- The Woobie: Yoh is the most obvious example, although a case could be made for pretty much every character in the novel. Yes, even Saya.
- Yousuke. Has a loving wife and a daughter, and paints in his spare time. He's practically the ideal family man. All seems right and blissful with his life...until Saya comes in.
- YMMV on him in particular; the first thing he does when he sees Saya, is rape her. Considering that he was living a quiet, carefully mild life beforehand, and Fuminori was never violent before the Road Cone that takes him down the cannibal path, it wasn't just the brain alteration that made him a violent pederastic rapist. His young daughter wasn't quite that age yet.

- Crap Saccharine World: A possible inversion of this trope, because they simply say everyone turns into a abomination. But, they don't say what happens after that. More likely than not, the former humans will get used to their new bodies. So, instead of a horrible world that looks nice and cute on the outside, we get a wonderful world that looks ugly and disgusting on the outside.
