=== This series presents the following tropes: ===
* [[
** [[Guide Dang It]]: If you want to attain the 100% Completion Rate, you'll pretty much '''need''' a strategy guide with a detailed flow chart.
** [[Last Lousy Point]]
Line 38:
* [[Classic Cheat Code]]: The [[Nintendo Hard|very-hard-to-pull-off]] "Right, O, Left, X, Up, O, Down, X" code to input ''in less than one second'' during the animated "[[Production I.G]]" screen. Enables the Completion Rate Display, which helps ''a ton'' in tracking those [[Last Lousy Point|Last Lousy Points]].
* [[Content Warnings]]: Featured on the factory seal of ''Double Cast'' and ''Sampaguita'': "This game contains violent scenes and depiction of gore".
* [[Genre Shift]]: Although all games share a love story plot, the importance of it and the overall genre of the stories vary from game to game.
** ''Double Cast'' is a [[Horror Visual Novels|suspense/horror story]] with romance elements à la ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]'';
** ''Kisetsu o Dakishimete'' is a [[Slice of Life]] [[Love Triangle]] story with [[Fantasy Visual Novels|fantastic elements]];
** ''Sampaguita'' is an action/romance story;
Line 45:
* [[Flower Motif]]: The first four games, save for ''Double Cast'', have a symbolic flower: [[Cherry Blossoms]] for ''Kisetsu o Dakishimete'', and the titular ''Sampaguita'' ([[wikipedia:Jasminum sambac|national flower]] of [[Philippines|the Philippines]], which has a meaning of "a promise of eternal love between two people") and ''Yukiwari no Hana'' (or [[wikipedia:Anemone hepatica|Anemone hepatica]], a flower of Northern Japan announcing Spring when it blooms). Their meanings are crucial to the storyline of their respective games.
* [[Hello, Insert Name Here]]: Only available in ''Sampaguita'' and ''Yukiwari no Hana''. The [[Featureless Protagonist|Featureless Protagonists]] in ''Double Cast'' and ''Kisetsu o Dakishimete'' aren't named at all; while the protagonists of ''Scandal'' and ''Blood: The Last Vampire'' aren't player avatars and have their own names, Saki Kitazawa and Saya Otonashi respectively.
* [[Identity Amnesia]] / [[Quest for Identity]]: The recurring theme of the first four ''Yarudora'' games. The cause and reason of the amnesia varies from game to game, and are a crucial plot point for each of them.
* [[Featureless Protagonist]]: All of the first four games let the player incarnate an [[Ordinary High School Student|Ordinary University Student]] whose face is hidden or barely seen. He's also a variant of [[Heroic Mime]] (in which he does talk, but doesn't have a voice actor unlike the other characters) until the 3rd game, ''Sampaguita''.
* [[Mercy Mode]]: If you get two Bad Endings or more without having obtained a Normal or Good Ending beforehand, the Hint Marker feature will be unlocked, pointing you out the good choices in branching options so you can reach a Normal or a Good Ending. The feature disappears once you get a Normal or Good Ending.
