Date Warp (Visual Novel)	comment	A Ren'Py-based Visual Novel released in English by Hanako Games in 2010. Take a sprinkling of Otome Game, a dash of Speculative Fiction, a lot of sneaky references to a certain movie - and serve over a bed of plot twists that make it hard to describe anything much about the story without giving too much away.Our heroine is Janet, who is on her first date with a boy named Bradley. A storm leads them off their path, and their car breaks down. They find a mansion and ask to stay until the storm passes. The following morning, when they try to leave, they find a forcefield keeping them inside. You can find the game here.

The highest the rest of the guys go is 'like'. Word of God states that the reason for this is that Janet isn't in the mansion long enough to establish such a deep relationship with them.

Date Warp (Visual Novel) / int_297ab1b9	comment	Parental Abandonment: A rare justified example! Rafael's parents abandoned him...but only so he could have better access to health care than his parents were capable of providing. In fact, when Janet criticizes Rafael's parents' abandonment, Rafael responds in bitterness, but unlike usual examples of this trope the bitterness is in their defense, saying he's sorry they weren't perfect.

Date Warp (Visual Novel) / int_3126c34a	type	Insufferable Genius
Date Warp (Visual Novel) / int_3126c34a	comment	Insufferable Genius: Janet used to be one of these, and it came very close to screwing her over. In the backstory we learn at the start of the game, Janet's classmates previously bullied her because of her Genius. Because of that, Janet wouldn't join any extracurricular activities with the girls, which is understandable. The "Insufferable" part came into play because Janet ended up not joining any extracurricular activities with anyone, and she forgot that the college she was applying to strongly prefers girls with lots of social experience on their applications, so Janet almost didn't make it into college as a result.

Date Warp (Visual Novel) / int_586db75d	type	My Girl Is Not a Slut
Date Warp (Visual Novel) / int_586db75d	comment	My Girl Is Not a Slut: Subverted. If Janet reveals what she read in Bianca's diary, Nathaniel will reveal that he and Bianca had already talked about it, and he doesn't care because he loves her. Played straight in the original release in that if Janet spends the night with Linds, you not only get his bad ending but what is probably the worst ending in the game. Word of God is that the writer didn't intend for this to be seen as an indictment against having sex. It's just that sleeping with Linds makes Janet too distracted with romantic drama to focus on what's happening. This is altered in the silver/Steam release so that a choice afterwards can allow you to still get the good ending.

Date Warp (Visual Novel) / int_60547993	comment	I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: In one of the endings, as soon as Janet finds out about Nathaniel and Bianca she decides to give up pursuing him and instead focuses on helping to cure her. In this particular ending, it only partially works: she wakes up in Bianca's body and Nathaniel is overjoyed at getting his lover back, but since it's Janet in Bianca's body and the real Bianca is gone... This leaves us hanging on the implied Morton's Fork: does she tell him the truth and crush his heart, or does she live out a lie and crush her own?

Date Warp (Visual Novel) / int_a939a527	comment	Red Eyes, Take Warning: Mostly averted with Bradley. Although he seems like he plays this trope straight at first because upon entering the mansion, he threatens everyone with a gun since he thinks they all did something to his sister. The aversion occurs because after he's neutralized, he never does anything else wrong and that gun pays off in one of the endings.

He and Bianca had already talked about this and decided to move on like adults, not like a child like Janet who sneaks around and snoops into private diaries. This is a strong enough What the Hell Hero that it plants you firmly along the path to Nathaniel's bad ending.
