All Men Are Perverts | |
| Prom Dreams (Video Game) / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: Averted. While Kyle is indeed interested in his love interests and actively pursues them, his primary focus isn't on anything sexual. In addition, he'll refuse to enter the girl's locker room when the player checks the door and question Randy's intent when he makes an innuendo on prom night. | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Prom Dreams (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: The game has three overall. Bad Ending: If Kyle agrees to dance with Dolores, he'll end up trapped in her nightmare world, forced to play along with her twisted ideas of "romance". Normal Ending: If Kyle says that no one could ever love Dolores after what she's done (or says "That's not true", as she's likely heard countless times before), he'll be released from the nightmare world, but he's rendered paraplegic and forced to go through the same bullying and isolation Dolores went through. In addition, there's still hints that Dolores is simply biding her time to wreak more havoc. Good Ending: Kyle uses the Mother's Poem to remind Dolores of her mother's love. Dolores and her mother then release Kyle back to the real world, but the damage to it is already done: Neela, Maggie, Brooke, Dolores's aunt and Dolores herself are all still dead. After a brief stint in the hospital and being suspected of being the culprit, Kyle visits Dolores's grave a year later. He's still traumatized and has nightmares, but he's determined to get on with his life. Confirmed by the official walkthrough to be the canon ending. | |

Wicked Cultured | |
| Prom Dreams (Video Game) / int_1c6ded94 | comment |
Wicked Cultured: Dolores's puzzles (as well as the rest of the game) contain several references to classical music and literature. Justified in that they are mostly works that would typically be studied in an American high school English class, such as Shakespeare, Tennyson, and Poe. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death: All three of the girls you date get one. Maggie has her hands chopped off, then her arms before Claire finishes her off. Neela has her tongue cut out before being killed. Brooke is basically lobotomized before Claire kills her. | |

| Prom Dreams (Video Game) / int_2504772e | comment |
Walking Spoiler: Dolores, so much so that even her name is usually marked as a spoiler. While she does technically appear within the first 15 minutes of the game, her name and role in the story isn't revealed until much later, after Kyle already assumes that Claire is the one behind everything. | |

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing | |
| Prom Dreams (Video Game) / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Claire claims that all three of the girls are one, but it's really only Brooke who counts. She is the one who blackmailed Neela into lying (via threatening to tell the media about her father's mafia ties) and helped Maggie cheat her SAT scores to get a scholarship so she could blackmail her into making a social media post in Kyle's name, after all. | |

Offing the Offspring | |
| Prom Dreams (Video Game) / int_27ab0123 | comment |
Offing the Offspring: A book in the library in the Nightmare School reveals that after Dolores' great-grandfather, H. Jericho Roth, lost his infant son, his energy company's net worth skyrocketed and eventually became a multi-billion dollar giant. Dolores also states that it was a pact with Moloch that allowed him to achieve his wealth in the first place, further hinting at what really happened to the boy. | |

Parental Abandonment | |
| Prom Dreams (Video Game) / int_297ab1b9 | comment |
Parental Abandonment: Dolores's father couldn't handle raising a special needs child and left when they were still a toddler, and their mother died of cancer two years before the game began or so Dolores thought. In reality, she committed the same ritualistic suicide Dolores did so she could keep watch over her daughter. | |

| Prom Dreams (Video Game) / int_372bc105 | comment |
Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism: Despite a lot of dark themes and critique of anime harem cliches and aversion of Single-Issue Psychology, the game ends in a largely idealistic (if bittersweet) manner. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Prom Dreams (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The good ending, which is even called "The Bittersweet Dream". All three of Kyle's potential prom dates are dead, so all Kyle can do is put a stop to Dolores's bloodshed, and Kyle thinks he may never date again. However, he's finally dealt with his guilt over Serena, and he's promised to live life to the fullest, chasing his dreams and not falling into despair since he saw what despair did to Dolores. Kyle isn't able to save any of his loved ones, but he's promised to head towards a bright future. | |

Et Tu, Brute?: Dolores has this reaction when she finds out that Neela participated in the Prank Date. Of course, Neela was being blackmailed by Brooke and she did show remorse for lying to Dolores. But Dolores kills her anyway, believing they weren't friends and that Neela was a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing. | |

Demon Lords and Archdevils: The Demon King, Moloch, who in Biblical times solicited the Canaanites for child sacrifices, is the being who granted Dolores and her mother their powers and H. Jericho Roth his wealth. He is described as Neutral Evil and pragmatic in his deals with humans, giving them complete freedom over their powers so long as he receives his sacrifices as well as rewarding those who offer more sacrifices with more power. Aside from this background role, he does not have much direct influence over the story. | |

The Big Bad Shuffle | |
| Prom Dreams (Video Game) / int_77eeb348 | comment |
The Big Bad Shuffle: The game even having a Big Bad could itself be considered a spoiler, since it's not what you'd expect from a dating sim. However, players will likely suspect Claire is up to something... but no, she's just The Dragon. Then, "Randy" reveals his true nature, making him seem like the true mastermind... but as he points out, he's just a messenger of HER. You might think that HER refers to Annie Horowitz, who's murder case is a part of the backstory... but nope, she seems to be completely uninvolved with the story. Then Kyle's ex-girlfriend Serena starts haunting him, making her seem like the culprit... but ultimately, all three of the actual candidates turn out to be creations of Dolores, a bullied girl in a wheelchair who seeks vengeance for all the wrongs inflicted upon her. And even she got her powers thanks to Demon King Moloch. | |

There Are No Therapists: Played with. There is a student counselor, Dr. Bradshaw, but you don't really interact with him much. He offers to hear Kyle out whenever he talks to him, but his words on Day 3 of the third loop make it clear that he's painfully aware that he can't save every student he tries to help. Given that this Bradshaw is a mirror version created by Dolores, it's likely a reflection of how he tried to help Dolores improve her relationships with the people around her. | |

I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me: Dolores was positively puzzled when Neela told her that Kyle wanted to take her to prom. When she found out it was a Prank Date however.... | |

Leitmotif | |
| Prom Dreams (Video Game) / int_9f6fb586 | comment |
Leitmotif: Several, throughout the game: Neela, Maggie, and Brooke have themes (Sugar and Spice, Most Valuable Player, and Elegant Ambition, respectively) that play during their introduction and date scenes. The Main Theme reprises when Kyle asks his chosen date to prom. It also returns in the song Now More Than Ever when Kyle and the surviving girl make their plans against Claire in Loop 3. Claire has her own motif, which returns as My Mistress' Will when she kills the three girls and later on as A Role Ended when she reveals her origins to Kyle. Dolores' theme, A Dying Dream, also has three versions, including a darker remix, Queen of Broken Hearts, and a slower version, which notably plays when the girl in the bathroom stall kills herself. Eleanor's theme, A Mother's Tears, can be heard in the tracks Prayer and Remembrance. The song's backing chords can also be heard in the Epilogue. St. Giles Academy itself has its own theme, which plays in different forms on the first, second, and third days. Variations of the track Magicae Sanguinis can be heard during cutscenes related to Dolores' curse (as Shadow of a Curse) and in the halls of the school during the final loop (as Prom Nightmare). | |

The Dog Was the Mastermind: Of all the characters the player could have guessed, the Big Bad turns out to be... Claire's friend Dolores, the girl in the wheelchair who you can go through almost the whole game without noticing or even realizing she exists. | |

Was It All a Lie?: Kyle asks this regarding Brooke after learning of her plot against Dolores - and how she effectively used him as a pawn in said plot. According to the journal in the developer's room, Brooke was somewhat charmed by him, but he was still primarily a means to an end. | |

"Groundhog Day" Loop: You go through three of these before you build up to the final confrontation with the Big Bad. The only ones who remember anything are Kyle and the girls he didn't date, and even then, it takes a while for them to realize it's not just deja vu. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Prom Dreams (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The Developer's Room has a few on the characters. While working on the game, the developer realized that Kyle bears a close resemblance to Kouta of Elfen Lied. They also deny that he has any relation to Harry Mason, but admits that the homage was intentional. The game itself contains two other Silent Hill references: first, a group of gossiping girls talks about a "James" who invites a "Mary" to prom. Second, the player can check the bathroom wall immediately after cleaning the graffiti for a message reading "There was a dick drawing here. It's gone now." Both of these reference the second game in the franchise. Talking to Maggie on the second day of the third loop will result in a shout out to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Maggie compares the time loop she and Kyle are currently experiencing to a game she watched her brother play as a kid, where the world would reset itself after three days. | |

Balanced Harem: Kyle gets an equal amount of interaction with all three girls by the end of the game. Justified in that they are all stuck in a time loop, and Kyle is essentially being forced into choosing different girls each loop when his previous choice disappears. | |

Disguised Horror Story | |
| Prom Dreams (Video Game) / int_f6f24e4b | comment |
Disguised Horror Story: Content warning at the beginning of the game notwithstanding, the game begins as a fairly typical harem dating sim, complete with upbeat music, comedic scenes, and many of the genre's standard tropes. In fact, the player can win their chosen love interest's heart and make it to prom night without experiencing a single horrific element, only for said love interest to be killed suddenly and brutally, without any way for the player to avoid it. From there, the game "resets" itself several times, sans the girl killed in each previous loop, with the atmosphere becoming more horrific as the dating sim plot gives way to a supernatural murder mystery. | |
