Video Games and Fate | |
| Fleuret Blanc (Visual Novel) / int_217f19b8 | comment |
Video Games and Fate: A video game is an interesting choice of medium for discussing the Central Theme of materialism, since most games condition players to collect everything. The gameplay elements play up this cognitive dissonance for all it's worth. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Fleuret Blanc (Visual Novel) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Giving orders to King Vasha, which is the key to the Lounge. It's in plain sight and definitely implies something has to happen there, but it's so silly and weird that most players will probably forget it by the time of the payoff, or at least assume it's for something much more minor. The placard Roland gives you at the beginning seems pointless at first, but it's actually a smoking gun for the judges' true plans, and what led to the lockdown and Kant's imprisonment. Averted with the hacked application wizard, which is hinted to be an important mystery throughout the story and many optional events, but is ultimately a minor subplot unrelated to the main story. | |

Gratuitous Foreign Language: French. Justified as the game is set in France and many of the characters are bilingual. This is lampshaded by Le Neuvieme — to him, English is the gratuitous foreign language. Many of the game's music tracks have French titles as well. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
| Fleuret Blanc (Visual Novel) / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: The first two techniques Roland gives you, Salute and Trompement, are also among the most useful. Salute extends a bout (and gives you all-important style points) while Trompement shortens it (and produces a guaranteed win if the opponent has less than 3 Hit Points left). Together they give you an unrivaled amount of control over the flow of battle and can really throw a wrench into some members' strategies. | |

Central Theme | |
| Fleuret Blanc (Visual Novel) / int_5ce7dbb9 | comment |
Central Theme: Materialism and collection; the role of objects in our lives and the meanings we attribute to them. Relating to others seems to be a secondary theme. Much of the gameplay revolves around getting to know the other members and understanding their experiences; all of them are much more than they first seem. | |

Something They Would Never Say: Or rather, literally can't say. Junior tries to deflect blame for the anonymous text messages by pinning it on Le Neuvieme — but the messages are in English, and Le Neuvieme only speaks French. This allows Florentine to figure out the real culprit. | |

Trickster Game | |
| Fleuret Blanc (Visual Novel) / int_5e1de66e | comment |
Trickster Game: The Central Theme is materialism and obsession — two things that video games, by their nature, tend to encourage. This makes for a very interesting choice of medium, and the dissonance is played up for all it's worth. The mechanics encourage you to reduce your co-workers to Relationship Values and hoard their prized possessions — which don't even have any meaning to you! — all while characters wax philosophical about the meaning of objects in our lives and if we can really gain happiness just through having enough possessions. One of the characters is an avid gamer obsessed with virtual achievements and the like. Gaining an item results in a cheerful Item Get! jingle, while losing one results in a sad trombone noise, even when it's part of a scripted sequence. This makes many players have a kneejerk negative reaction to losing items, even when it makes perfect sense and is the smarter option. The gold placard is a particular Troll in this regard; it's only ever added to the inventory in cutscenes, because Florentine always discards it again by the end of the scene. You never keep it permanently, even though it looks like a legitimate item. The game also dramatically tallies up Scoring Points at the end of every day over a background that says "Everything is collectible"; these points do absolutely nothing. While there is never any explicit betrayal of the player on the level of some other examples here, the game is carefully crafted to make the player uncomfortable and reevaluate their behavior. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
| Fleuret Blanc (Visual Novel) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Completing the confrontation associated with a character will let you see their part of the "Where Are They Now?" Epilogue. Normally, this makes sense, as the subplot and confrontation typically revolves around learning more about them and turning their life in a new direction. However, Masque's confrontation has almost nothing to do with him personally, as it's only the first half of Le Neuvieme's subplot, so it's possible to see his epilogue without understanding any of its significance. When fighting Kant, his stock of quips have the same confident, cocky tone as the other members', despite the fact that he's a terrified, traumatized wreck at that point. | |

Schrödinger's Gun | |
| Fleuret Blanc (Visual Novel) / int_76c72a08 | comment |
Schrödinger's Gun: There is one branch point (Tuesday afternoon) where both options have to merge afterwards, thus forcing both to be consistent with the overall storyline despite involving very different events. The result of this is that the two branches apparently occur in two slightly different universes, where prior events were different. If Florentine attends the meeting, the stated reason for Kant's dismissal is that Roland kept his prized possession for over a week, which is corroborated by Roland giving you said prized possession after the meeting. However, if she follows Kant, it will turn out that he has his prized possession on him, contradicting the historical events stated in the other branch. Subverted in one conclusion. When Florentine confronts Aunty about the nature of FOIL, she will say something different depending on the personality traits you picked in the initial questionnaire. Aunty will confirm either, but both are lies, and the true purpose of FOIL remains constant regardless of Florentine's assertion. | |

The Alcoholic | |
| Fleuret Blanc (Visual Novel) / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: Odon. He tries to be secretive about it, but you can usually find him hanging around the bar, and other characters will confirm that he has a major drinking problem. This is unusual, as he's a laid-back monk who frequently preaches the importance of freeing oneself from material possessions and influences. It's one of the hints that his past is more complex than it appears: he used to be a delinquent drug addict, and though he tried to turn his life around, he's been through a lot, and can't kick his alcohol dependence. | |

Perspective Flip | |
| Fleuret Blanc (Visual Novel) / int_8a9eb844 | comment |
Perspective Flip / Twice-Told Tale: Most of Squeaker's stories are warped versions of fairy tales, often told from a different perspective or a different angle. A particular example of this: gaining an item results in a cheerful Item Get! jingle, while losing one results in a dispiriting sound effect, even when it's part of a scripted sequence. This makes many players have a kneejerk negative reaction to losing items, even when it makes perfect sense and is in fact the smarter option. | |

Production Foreshadowing: Squeaker's tale about a stone that confers the power to kill someone with a word will sound eerily familiar to anyone who has played Merlandese's later game Last Word.

Samus Is a Girl | |
| Fleuret Blanc (Visual Novel) / int_a18d407b | comment |
Samus Is a Girl: "Junior", the Chateau's mechanic, only interacts with Florentine through a remote speaker for most of the story. Both the name and profession are coded male and so Florentine assumes she is male, leading to shock when Augustine shows up in person. Deconstructed a little. Her father wanted a son, not a daughter, and named her "Junior" before she was even born in the hopes she would continue the family line. When he discovered his offspring was a girl, he was livid. The resulting neglect and disappointment likely skewed her psychological development and perception of gender roles in an unhealthy way, and may have influenced her decision to enter such a male-coded field in the first place. However, this is also Reconstruction in that her father learned to love her anyway. | |

Scoring Points: Used as an instance of What the Hell, Player?.

Red Herring: Anastasia's bus accident is suspicious as all get-out and Florentine spends most of the story assuming it has a connection to the central mystery, a paranoia that only gets more justified when she finds evidence that FOIL kills its former members. In the ending, however, the event is revealed to have been a legitimate coincidence, with no relation to the conspiracy. There's also one in-universe for another character: Kant assumed the judges were gunning for him because he hacked their computer, when in actuality they never figured this out and were motivated by something else he thought was irrelevant. | |

If Grams' food was unhealthy, he should be the last person to display any symptoms. Of course, he's faking it, and he poisoned the food himself to make Grams look irresponsible, in the hopes that she would be removed from cooking duty. | |

You're supposed to beat him at his own game by racking up style points with Salute (Grams will help you out there), but as this is the player's first real foray into the combat system and most players will be used to a strategy of "hit it until it dies", most players don't grasp this in time. The developer also describes Le Neuvieme, the next boss, as "the bane of [his] existence", likely for similar reasons — he's even more style-focused than Roland, and his dodging patterns are even more unpredictable. Weirdly inverted by Masque, the next boss. You may have thought Le Neuvieme was preparing you for a difficult style-off, but Masque is actually not a style fighter, making him refreshingly straightforward and predictable. | |

Running Gag: Grams mispronouncing Florentine's name in increasingly creative ways. It's implied she may be doing it on purpose; if she makes eggs for Florentine's special luncheon, she claims that she was suddenly inspired to make eggs Florentine that day and doesn't know where she could have gotten the idea. | |
