Here's the [http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/games/nds/ghost_trick_phantom_detective_18194.html English demo] if anybody's interested (click the "Demo" button near the top).
Line 107:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Sissel, Jowd, and the Pigeon Man.
** Also Bailey's partner.
* [[Dead to Begin With]]: The game starts with Sissel, the player character, stating that he died recently. He doesn't go to the afterlife though: he can and will stick around the world of the living to investigate the circumstances of his death. Ray, the first character Sissel meets, is dead too, and is currently possessing a desk lamp. He will be the one who teaches Sissel the powers of the dead that will help him uncover the truth about himself.
* [[Death From Above]]: Wrecking balls, crates, chickens, statues, vaults, [[Up to Eleven|meteors]], footballs...
** [[Zig-Zagging Trope|ZigZagged]]: {{spoiler|Yomiel}} is struck by a fragment of the {{spoiler|Temsik meteor, "killing" him, but then putting his body in a state between life and death}}. The subversion is in that to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]], {{spoiler|Yomiel}} has to be saved from {{spoiler|the meteor shard}}, and when it's deflected towards Detective Jowd, it shoots through his leg. Then it's [[Double Subverted]] when Sissel is shown to have been hit by {{spoiler|the fragment, making him a ''literal'' Schrodinger's cat}}.
Line 144:
**** And Lynne {{spoiler|when she shot Sissel and Yomiel}}.
***** And Jowd in the event ten years ago {{spoiler|(until he's injured by the Temsik fragment in the new timeline)}}.
* [[Foil]]
* [[The Foreign Subtitle]]: International versions appended "Phantom Detective" to the game's title.
* [[Foreshadowing]]:
Line 338:
** {{spoiler|They only had themselves to blame for that though}}.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: To the ''[[Ace Attorney]]'' series. No pun intended.
* [[Split-Screen Phone Call]]: Used when overhearing phone conversations. It's implied in-game that the protagonist, who has the ability to travel through phone lines, actually can see both ends of the conversation at once.
* [[Start of Darkness]]: {{spoiler|Yomiel was accused of espionage, of which he was innocent, but a young Inspector Cabanela pressured him into escaping with the handgun he accidentally left behind. Jowd chased him down into Temsik Park, where he took Lynne hostage and was suddenly struck in the back by a fragment of the Temsik meteor. Then he remembers his identity and tries to meet his wife Sissel, who had unfortunately committed suicide just before Yomiel could get to her, and he lacked the power to rewind time and save her life. This made him [[Go Mad From the Isolation]] and make him want to take revenge on everyone involved in the Temsik Park incident, save for a certain black cat}}...
* [[Stealth-Based Mission]]: Several towards the end, to avoid gaining {{spoiler|Yomiel's}} attention with your ghost tricks. {{spoiler|Subverted, since despite what happens if you fail, he actually knew you were there all along, but didn't really want to stop you}}.
