In the late 24th century (2390, to be precise), the Mugunghwa, a generation ship, was launched by the Korean government to found a colony in a planet far away from Earth. The ship never reached its destination, and was detected, adrift and lifeless in the immensity of space, more than two thousand years later. During the events of Analogue: A Hate Story, you were sent to the ship to recover the message logs of its computer, in hopes of finding what made the ship go derelict. After examining the computer logs and getting testimony from the two Artificial Intelligences in the ship's system, *Hyun-ae and *Mute, you managed to uncover the mystery behind the demise of the entire crew of the Mugunghwa.But why did the ship go off-course and disappear without warning to begin with? It is evident, from the nature of the final message logs in the computer, that the ship's society somehow regressed to a pseudo-feudal period sometime during its travel, but all information before that period was conveniently deleted, so the causes of this societal degeneration have been lost forever...Until now.Hate Plus is the sequel to Analogue: A Hate Story, the Visual Novel developed in Ren'Py by the Canadian author Christine Love. It started as plans for a Downloadable Content package for the original game, but ultimately became something even bigger than the original novel, to the point of turning into a full game on its own right rather than an Expansion Pack, with features like being affected by variables in your saved game of the original.The game was released on August 19th, 2013, after a bit of Development Hell. (Her apartment being destroyed in a fire did not help matters, either.)Not at all related to Love Plus. | |

Rape as Drama | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_12dd1d4c | comment |
Rape as Drama: Kim So-yi is molested by Han, her research assistant. Later, when So-yi and her husband get intimate, she guides her husband to do the same things that Han did to her. (He doesn't realize the implications, because she never told him about the original incident, but her behavior does strike him as odd.) It's clear that Han's actions led to some deep emotional scars for So-yi, even if she never realizes or admits it. | |

If you try to power through the cake sequence on Hyun-ae's route on Day 3, you will get a fourth-wall breaking lecture that Hyun-ae isn't to be treated like a flat eroge girl there for sex and easy-to-get-into love. See Addressing the Player. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: In the opening of her route, *Mute talks a good game of being able to deal with the knowledge of her past self and not worrying overmuch about her emotions, which is why Captain Emperor Ryu banned her from finding out. By the end of it, you're not playing with the same *Mute, primarily because of her having a nervous crackup when she realizes just how much of a pawn she was of Ryu and his wife. | |

Evil Versus Evil | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_1645005b | comment |
Evil Versus Evil: Old *Mute and her council's monarchic, anti-democratic, elitist rule that sought to quash any attempts at democracy by any means necessary as a way of maintaining status quo, but otherwise permissible of anything that didn't cause non-nobles to riot, and Ryu and Eun-a's nationalist, neo-Confucian, totalitarian, Luddite rule that strictly enforced outdated, misogynistic, archaic laws, social stations and castes, and customs that eventually turned the ship into a copy of the Joseon period, except even dumber. Gray-and-Grey Morality: What both sides saw themselves as. Old *Mute's society was seen as corrupt, materialistic, consumeristic, greedy, sexually depraved, and hedonistic. The conspirators' plans were seen as archaic, horrendously oppressive, anti-intellectual, bigoted, and a perversion of Confucian ideals. It's essentially modern-day Korea versus the Joseon Dynasty, but both thought they had the ship and its society's continued survival at heart. Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: Invoked by Hyun-ae in her route as a response to this. She'll ask you what you thought of the entire conflict. You can say "I hate everyone equally" in response. | |

| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
A deliberate example of Unreliable Narrator. The 'rebellion' was the dying throes of the legitimate political system trying to reassert control over a totalitarian despotism/functional autocracy. Chief Councillor "Emperor" Ryu wiped the computers, and *Mute, himself. | |

Unwinnable by Design | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: The achievement "Level Four Revive Materia", as it appears by all accounts to be completely impossible to save *Mute from killing herself, unless you're in harem route. This has been so far supported by, among other things, brute-forcing every possible log-reading combo, question-answer combo, and even, to an extent, messing around with the game files themselves. Even achievement-unlocking cheat programs don't work. See this thread for the majority of the debate. The name of the achievment is a reference to an Urban Legend of Zelda that the eponymous item could be used to save Aerith. | |

Poor Communication Kills: Oh Eun-a's "sister" Mi-seun is worried sick about the long periods of time Eun-a spends away from home and the time Eun-a is spending with Ryu. However, Eun-a's usage of big words and concepts that fly over Mi-seun's head, and Eun-a's way of explaining, which implies that Mi-seun is useless, intimidates Mi-seun, who writes long letters to her "big sister" that she never actually sends. Mi-seun eventually commits suicide, which causes Eun-a to lose it. | |

Permanent Elected Official | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_259fdfd0 | comment |
Permanent Elected Official: The rest of the Council members come and go, but *Mute will always be the Councillor for Security. It is implied several times that her position as security chief is hardcoded both in her AI personality and in the Mugunghwa core systems, which means that she can't resign until the ship arrives. It was supposed to be only a few centuries, but since the ship has damaged navigation systems and will likely never arrive anywhere she has been holding the position for ''sixteen hundred years'' instead. You can understand why Old *Mute is really, really tired. It is speculated that when she was alive, the navigation AI *Star had a similar permanent position as Councillor for Captaincy. | |

Depraved Bisexual: University President/Queen Councillor Oh Eun-a is one of the two original conspirators. How did she meet the other? She was at a university party, hoping for a one-night stand with a male after getting tired of seducing women. She later begins going psycho when she accidentally drives her "sister" to suicide by emotional neglect, staying long hours with Ryu plotting, and her maid testifies that Eun-a began treating her like her "sister," in-between spates of depressive episodes. | |

Lipstick Lesbian: Oh Eun-a was (if her torch-carrying for her dead lover, and the logs from said dead lover say anything) this before falling in love with the captain, ultra-feminine (to the point of wanting other women to return to their feminine ways). It's probably part gayngst (and part Love Makes You Evil, surprisingly) that makes her want society to return to the ultra-patriarchal Neo-Confucian ideal where women are dominated by men and "know their place". Heo Ae-Jeong seems to lament her inability to fulfill this trope, due to acting lovestruck and awkward in the presence of her girlfriend. Said girlfriend is a sweet, bubbly florist who loves flowers and cute things. | |

Hysterical Woman: *Mute was programmed to view women as ruled by their emotions; she uses this to justify her own outbursts and fallacies. Oh Eun-a also views women as emotional, flighty, and promiscuous, causing the downfall of society. She is, ironically, all of these things, and possibly the most powerful person on the ship for a while. | |

| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_342f0ffa | comment |
Discriminate and Switch: A variant: despite seemingly being a very loving husband, Kim So-yi's husband writes a log titled "Worthless as a wife". It turns out that he's using her exact words: she's just been fired and driven to a nervous breakdown by the new societal pressure to stay at home and be subservient to your man. He's deeply worried about this and finds her new behavior disconcerting. *Hyun-ae lampshades this if you're on her route by getting outraged at the title, but later realizing it wasn't what it meant. In the harem route, her initial outrage is closer to shock. | |

While Ae-Jeong coldly severs contact from Mae Jin-a by suddenly dumping her and claiming she never really loved her in the first place and that it was a mistake to continue their relationship, and Mae Jin-a gets married off after becoming very bitter towards Ae-Jeong, it's heavily implied Ae-Jeong managed to convince Ryu to shelter Jin-a with her by pretending that Jin-a is her little sister. On the other hand, Heo and Mimi apparently still see each other after Year Zero, as *Mute states that Heo kept sneaking off during guard duty to see a male. | |

You can skip to the next day by selecting your save file and pressing "S", but the author will call you a "jerkface". You can also do this by manipulating your system's date/time settings and save yourself the insult, but doing it incorrectly will trip one of Ren'Py's own game-stopping checks (eg. Accidentally loading a save file that's time stamped in the future will cause an engine crash). | |

Oh Eun-a was (if her torch-carrying for her dead lover, and the logs from said dead lover say anything) this before falling in love with the captain, ultra-feminine (to the point of wanting other women to return to their feminine ways). It's probably part gayngst (and part Love Makes You Evil, surprisingly) that makes her want society to return to the ultra-patriarchal Neo-Confucian ideal where women are dominated by men and "know their place". | |

Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Several examples. In *Hyun-ae's route, she gets frustrated by her inability to actually speak to you, and accuses you of treating her like just another girl in a dating sim. Which, of course, she is. At one point, she'll even ask you to bake a cake for her. In real life. No, actually get up from your chair and bake one. If you can't do that, at least buy one. | |

Fling a Light into the Future | |

Fling a Light into the Future: A variation: *Mute embeds a handful of log files into her base code before she is forcefully mindwiped, so that the "next" *Mute can read them and understand what happened to her and the ship. The version of *Mute present in Analogue never knew, as she never performed a diagnostic which would have revealed the files. Needless to say, she doesn't take it well. | |

Et Tu, Brute? | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_5037b961 | comment |
Et Tu, Brute?: An odd but still meaningful example from *Hyun-ae. Initially she views Oh Eun-a as a kindred spirit, as a woman who was married to an Emperor Ryu ... and then she learns that not only was it willing, but Eun-a actually orchestrated the wonky society that drove her to homicidal mania out of a never-ending parade of misery in the first place! Needless to say, she isn't happy. A more direct example would be *Mute's reaction to the same log where we learn that Oh Eun-a and Ryu masterminded the log erasure, given how she actually believed Oh Eun-a and Ryu were trustworthy, noble people. Initially she even tries to convince herself that Old *Mute is lying rather than believe her friend betrayed her and everyone else on the ship. Oh Eun-a feels betrayed by her father when she discovers he knew about a plot against her and Ryu and did nothing, conveniently forgetting that she hung him out to dry first by giving his Councillorship for Education to one of Ryu's puppets. | |

Everyone Is Bi: Subverted by (non-harem) *Mute, who never fully comes around to accepting or returning a female main character's love in any meaningful way, and thinks the whole relationship is absurd. She still, however, refers to herself as a wife, and is not unhappy with the predicament. New *Mute feels even more strongly that the relationship should stay platonic, though mostly because she barely knows you yet. | |

Puppet King: What both President Park, the "populist" agitator for democracy, and Chief Councillor Ryu (an apparently unambitious man) were supposed to be, to the rest of the Council. Park eventually takes the fall, while Ryu seizes power, gets rid of everyone else and declares himself Emperor. Towards the end, the councillors are clearly his puppets. *Mute, after her security wipe, is still technically Chief of Security, but she's really there to ensure Smith gets patrols to areas he wants patrolled. | |

Really 700 Years Old | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_5c5ac0e2 | comment |
Really 700 Years Old: When you start reading the old logs, *Mute discovers that Old *Mute was over 1600 years old, which seems unimaginably ancient to her. Kind of amusing, considering that current *Mute is no spring chicken either, since she's 900-something and looks around 14. Also defied by *Hyun-ae. As part of the Lunar New Year celebrations, you're supposed to eat a bowl of tteokguk in order to properly "gain" a year of life. *Hyun-ae hasn't had any in 622 years, and the (computer-generated) bowl she has on Day Two is only the 17th time she's ever had it, so she decides she's Really 17 Years Old! Also the subject of an amusing conversation in the harem route where *Mute and *Hyun-ae argue over who is more qualified to be "older sister". *Hyun-ae wins as *Mute can't remember her past incarnations and wasn't awake for the long period between the ship's downfall and the player's arrival. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: *Mute sometimes expresses this opinion if you romance her as a woman. She believes that a woman cannot be happy unless she is married to a man, so while she appreciates (and even reciprocates) your feelings, she sees herself as a poor substitute for a husband, and wants you to find true fulfillment. Oh Eun-a has shades of this in her letters to her now-deceased lover Mi-seun: | |

Trauma Conga Line | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_71e8a5c5 | comment |
Trauma Conga Line: Heo Seo-yeong loves an AI that may or may not reciprocate, but doesn't ever acknowledge it, her husband's murdered when he becomes too much of a nuisance to Oh Eun-a, and her whole society is getting whittled back to an oppressive, patriarchal dystopia. When she and Old *Mute finally attempt a coup, Old *Mute is essentially forced to back them down; when Seo-yeong hesitates, Old *Mute has to resort to emotional blackmail to stop her from killing President/Chief Councillor Ryu. Seo-yeong has to watch as Old *Mute gets her memories wiped, setting the stage for a complete reworking of all society. Seo-yeong is made into the scapegoat for a "failed rebellion," and worst of all, she's blamed for wiping Old *Mute; she is utterly despised by the new version of the AI she once loved. She's imprisoned for ten years before finally committing suicide, and it's unclear whether she actually took her own life or was simply eliminated by the government. She's remembered as a monster. | |

Boomerang Bigot: Oh Eun-a is homophobic and claims that it is everyone on the ship's "moral imperative" to reproduce—those who can't, especially homosexual couples, are hedonistic, over-emotional parasites. Except that she's bisexual, and it's very heavily implied that her "little sister" is actually a completely unrelated lover who she used to dote on. This comes back to bite her in the ass later; her "little sister" commits suicide partly because the world Eun-a is building will have no place for their love, making Eun-a's victory ring a little hollow as she spends her post-revolution days staring into space, depressed. | |

AIs | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_83441d66 | comment |
One of the background information you can read is from a very old AI about how after a couple hundred years, even A.I.s can't really learn anything new. An example is how an aritst after 300 years would be better than they were after 200 years. But the improvements wouldn't have warranted another 100 years of labor. They also talk about how after too long an AI gets bogged down in far too many memories and protocols and subroutines when it comes to their job. This hints at why Old *Mute wasn't' able to stop the Coup. She was too old and doing the job for far too long to react fast enough. | |

Posthumous Character: Everyone who appears in the log files has been dead for at least 600 years (except for the Pale Bride, on a technicality). Within the logs themselves, the very briefly mentioned *Star, the navigation AI who was killed in a rebellion only two hundred years after the launch of the Mugunghwa, thus explaining why the ship never got where it was supposed to go in the first place. | |

Justified Trope | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_90c018ac | comment |
Some characters (for example, Kim So-Yi's boss, the Research Chief) are never referred to with a proper name. More or less justified by the format: presumably they all have real names, but they're simply not used in the handful of text logs that we have access to, so they can only be referred to by what you know about them. | |

Never My Fault | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_973d220f | comment |
Never My Fault: Possibly a part of Oh Eun-a's motivation. She feels her "sister" deserves better but blames society rather than herself for it, and her eventual suicide. She appears convinced, perhaps due to low-self-esteem, that a Confucian society would have protected her better than she could. In the Harem route (which is generally more comedic than the "standard" routes), *Mute blames the translation problem entirely on *Hyun-ae. | |

Hit So Hard, the Calendar Felt It | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_980f7fac | comment |
Hit So Hard, the Calendar Felt It: Addressed by a log in Block 13, where it is revealed that it was caused by a rebellion that damaged the stability of the pre-Year Zero political system and caused a total hard drive wipe of the ship's computer, resetting *Mute and deleting her memories. A deliberate example of Unreliable Narrator. The 'rebellion' was the dying throes of the legitimate political system trying to reassert control over a totalitarian despotism/functional autocracy. Chief Councillor "Emperor" Ryu wiped the computers, and *Mute, himself. | |

Ladykiller in Love | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_99404851 | comment |
Ladykiller in Love: Ae-jeong, famous actress on the Mugunghwa, would take her fangirls to bed, dominating them as they adored her for her amusement. However, her latest target, seemingly a moeblob, catches her after screwing up a play, and manages to impress her with a witty comeback to her co-star. By "impress", we mean "make her fall madly in love with". | |

Interface Spoiler | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_9cb3e22e | comment |
Interface Spoiler: Several examples. First, in-universe: of the 50-something text files that your AI finds embedded in her code, the very last one is titled "The Death of *Mute." Your AI(s) will almost immediately mention this, and note that it's obviously important but also makes them uneasy. Unfortunately, it's encrypted, so you have to wait until the end of Day Two to actually access it. Deliberately in the achievements, the description of one being "LOL SPOILERS *MUTE DIES". This might not seem like a spoiler at first, as you might assume it's referring to Old *Mute, who "died" nine hundred years ago and is thus Doomed by Canon. It's not. This makes the suicide of the *Mute you've been talking to all the more shocking. "Level Four Revive Materia"'s icon being largely the same as "The Death of Old *Mute", merely flipped and showing *Mute rather than Old *Mute, gives this away. "Deep Space Therapist" also subtly hints at New *Mute's existence, as it depicts *Mute in a suit but lacking Old *Mute's eyepatch. But cleverly inverted with the "Level Four Revive Materia" achievement, which you get by finishing the game with *Mute in a particular outfit. Seems simple, right? Especially since there's an achievement for completing the game with *Hyun-ae, and one for completing it with both girls, and one for completing it with *Mute twice, once as a man and once as a woman. There is absolutely no way to get that achievement—see Unwinnable by Design below. If you look at the achievement stats before playing, you'll notice that the achievements for completing the game with *Hyun-ae and for completing it with both girls have been completed by lots of people. This achievement has never been completed, ever. It isn't even coded into the game. Instead, there is a hidden achievement for finishing the game with New *Mute, who wears a different outfit that you can't change. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: *Mute talks about a similar rebellion that happened two centuries into the ship's launch, and ended just as bad. In it, a critical portion of the ship was permanently damaged (both an AI and the ship itself), and there was major social upheaval. Guess what happens at the end of the story. In the harem route, *Mute says she's seen crazy shit, like a queen who manipulated the emperor. It's more or less how Eun-a managed to hatch the conspiracy in the first place. In the file "The New Council", while Old *Mute is complaining about almost every member of the council being replaced, Heo Seo-yeong comments that she's shocked that even the Councillor for Education was replaced after failing the exams since he controlled the contents of it. As it turns out, the old council members were intentionally sabotaged to get them out of the way by the co-conspirator of the one remaining council member. At the end of *Mute Day 2, after asking you to power off for the day, *Mute signs off with a "Farewell" rather than a "goodbye". Because she's not planning on being there tomorrow. One of the background information you can read is from a very old AI about how after a couple hundred years, even A.I.s can't really learn anything new. An example is how an aritst after 300 years would be better than they were after 200 years. But the improvements wouldn't have warranted another 100 years of labor. They also talk about how after too long an AI gets bogged down in far too many memories and protocols and subroutines when it comes to their job. This hints at why Old *Mute wasn't' able to stop the Coup. She was too old and doing the job for far too long to react fast enough. | |

Dramatically Missing the Point | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_9e9203e1 | comment |
Dramatically Missing the Point: *Mute's reactions to some pre-Year Zero diary entries come off this way. In one log, Kim So-yi, a female scientist, is told that, despite her excellent work, she's receiving a pay cut. More women are quitting in order to have children, thanks to the new Motherhood Credit Act, and the department isn't bothering to spend money on someone who's likely to quit and have children. Naturally, So-yi sees this as insulting and dismissive of her work as a scientist. | |

Overly Long Gag | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_a188ac4b | comment |
Overly-Long Gag: All tracks on the OST are no longer than four minutes...except for "Cake!", the track that plays when eating cake with *Hyun-ae. For some reason, it's 21 minutes and 5 seconds long. As in, twenty-one minutes of actual music, not just a few minutes followed by a long period of silence. In harem route, you can convince *Hyun-ae to confess her love to *Mute. At first *Mute thinks *Hyun-ae is joking; when she realizes that *Hyun-ae is serious, her shocked scream spans at least three text boxes at max-width. | |

Deliberate Values Dissonance: As with Analogue: A Hate Story. At some points, there's multiple layers of dissonance: *Mute is horrified and disgusted at Old *Mute's rude and unladylike behavior—but Old *Mute is acting this way because she is, herself, horrified and disgusted at the retrograde and patriarchal notions she's hearing. It gets even more complicated when *Hyun-ae and *Mute are both commenting on a document, and debating the cause-and-effect of depravity and morality. | |

I Cannot Self-Terminate: Or, more accurately, I Cannot Allow Myself To Die Even If It Is The Better Outcome. When Old *Mute and Heo Seo-yeong try to take down Ryu once and for all, Ryu reveals that he's planted a bomb in the ship's computer core, which only he can disarm. Old *Mute explicitly wishes that she could allow herself to be "killed" if it meant that Ryu would lose his power (and his life), but as the security AI, she is hard-coded to take the option that ensures the security of the ship, and thus she's forced to surrender. Just to twist the knife, she finds out too late that it's not even a real bomb. | |

Theme and Variations: Old *Mute gets a slowed down remix version of one of *Mute songs from Analogue.

Incest Subtext: Sort of: it's implied that lesbian lovers on the Mugunghwa sometimes claimed to be sisters as a way to stay close to each other and not attract attention. Commented on by *Mute in day 3 of her route if you go through some of the logs related to Ae-jeong and Jin-a again. This is a plot point with Oh Eun-a. She and her "sister" were extremely close, to the point *Hyun-ae doubts they're actually sisters. Eun-a's sister committing suicide slides Eun-a into a deep depression, to the point where she even treats a maid exactly as if she were her dead sister. | |

Translation Software: Used straight in the sense that all the documents were "originally" written in Korean (either Hangul or Hanmun) but are "displayed" in English, but also amusingly subverted in a larger sense: when your AI(s) attempt to install a more up-to-date Korean-English language pack, it somehow breaks their software and makes them incapable of understanding your input. So the whole reason you can't talk to them directly is because of the Translation Software. | |

Horrible Judge of Character: *Mute trusts Oh Eun-a implicitly after her reactivation in an amnesiac state. If you've read anything about Oh Eun-a at all under the spoilers, you know how bad an idea this was (this turns into one of the many reasons *Mute commits suicide). Justified, as *Mute was more or less a newborn at that stage, and didn't know any better. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Many of the achievements. --48 HOURS REMAIN--, complete with Old *Mute's face as the moon. "Level Four Revive Materia". Appropriately, this achievement named after an Urban Legend of Zelda is impossible to get. "See you, Space Investigator." "Don't create a TIME PARADOX!", with *Hyun-ae posing as the Colonel. Relationship Status: It's complicated. *Hyun-Ae: "In the end...the future refused to improve..." The current expert in AI psychology (formerly robopsychology) in an email you get teaches at the Susan Calvin Institute. *Mute's defiant "just watch me" echoes a line famously spoken by former Canadian PM Pierre Trudeau during a time of political strife. The game's name itself is a reference to Love Plus. Old *Mute has a definite inspiration from Old Snake from Metal Gear Solid 4, also a badass elderly sequel version of a character who is cynical and associated with smoking. | |

Seppuku | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_c78d3e08 | comment |
Seppuku: Using This Very Wiki's definition of "Seppuku," the suicide of Heo Seo-yeong qualifies except that she probably didn't actually kill herself. The honor-bound deaths of Oh Eun-a's lover and *Mute, whose suicide note recounts her failings and admits that she is "freeing" a romantically-inclined Investigator probably also qualify. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Eun-a manipulated the regression of her entire society, and ordered the death of at least one person who opposed her, in addition to planning for the deaths of many more if necessary, but when you read her logs and understand she did it all for love ... well, she's still a monster, but at least you know why. | |

Self-Deprecation | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: Mixed in with Take That! is if you complete the Harem route and ask *Hyun-ae to talk about what's happened so far. One of the choices makes her break the fourth wall and note that the harem route and the player's cheating nullified everything that's happened, with no real consequences! Asking her to talk about hate talks about how the game is far superior to Digital: A Love Story. | |

Heteronormative Crusader: *Mute, but she was programmed to feel that way, although she seems to enjoy Heo and Mimi's logs. New *Mute doesn't seem to have any hangups when it comes to same-sex relationships, but she also doesn't have *Mute's secret weakness for cute boy-boy romances, nor her love of gossip. | |

Lovable Rogue: Mimi, Heo Seung-bok's gay lover. He's a shameless gambler and manipulator ... who's also quite the gentleman, hustling cards and marks to pay for college classes, and he fully reciprocates Seung-bok's feelings. But he's also shown to have Hidden Depths: after Mimi is forced to marry a woman due to societal and familial pressure, he writes a deeply apologetic and heartfelt letter to Seung-bok, and it's obvious his love was sincere. | |

The Chessmaster | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_d62dd556 | comment |
The Chessmaster: Ryu Hyeon-su and Oh Eun-a. Over seven years, they have the other council members enact dozens of subtle changes to the Mugunghwa's legal policies that, eventually, give Ryu the ability to pass whatever legislation he wants, at whim. By the time Old *Mute realizes what he's done (and that she was tricked into signing off on the whole mess), she's too late to stop it. Ryu also knew she'd attempt a coup in response, and stops it easily. He uses this as an excuse to crown himself Emperor Taejo and have the logs wiped clean, thus setting the stage for the events of Analogue: A Hate Story. | |

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep" | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_d7b34c31 | comment |
Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Some characters (for example, Kim So-Yi's boss, the Research Chief) are never referred to with a proper name. More or less justified by the format: presumably they all have real names, but they're simply not used in the handful of text logs that we have access to, so they can only be referred to by what you know about them. Additionally, the player him/herself, as you have no way of telling *Hyun-ae and/or *Mute your "real" name. They just refer to you as Investigator, or variations thereof depending on your chosen gender and marital status ("Miss Investigator," "Mr. Investigator," etc). | |

Animesque: In-universe: it's revealed why *Mute looks so anime-looking is because her original creator was a huge otaku. (Old *Mute changed herself to be more realistic.) The android bodies you order for *Hyun-ae (and *Mute in the harem route) also have large eyes and are based on old cartoons. | |

Waiting Puzzle: Of a sort. When *Hyun-ae asks you to bake her a cake, she asks you to get up and check whether you've got the right ingredients. If you answer too quickly (regardless of what your answer is), she accuses you of just trying to skip actually doing what she asks. Then, when you're supposed to be baking the cake, you need to wait an appropriate amount of time for it to finish, too, or else she'll do the same. See Addressing the Player, above. | |

Jerkass: Every council member. *Mute openly talked back and more or less would loudly not care about anything that didn't affect the ship security. Kim was a classic case of an elitist scientist who thought he was smarter than anyone (and wasn't afraid to show it off in sessions), and that anything not hard science was worthless. Lee and Yang were blowhards. Smith was apathetic. And all of them were more concerned with maintaining their wealth than ensuring the "peasants" were actually free. | |

One-Steve Limit | |
| Hate Plus (Visual Novel) / int_ee7a60e9 | comment |
One-Steve Limit: Averted, annoyingly. The various councillors on the ship are only known by their title and family name (and occasionally their department, such as "Justice" or "Culture"). After the Meritocracy Act passes, several councillors are replaced, but often by members of the same family, who thus have the same family name. So there are two Councillor Ohs, two Councillor Yangs, two Councillor Jos ... it can be a bit confusing, and since most of the councillors don't have portraits, sometimes the only way to tell is whether the date of the log is pre- or post-Meritocracy. A deliberate, comedic, in-universe example: Heo Seung-bok visits his lover Mimi, who's spending time with ... Heo Seung-bok. Who looks exactly like the other Heo Seung-bok. And who also loves Mimi, and is also a security officer (but higher-ranking), and even orders the same things off the menu at a restaurant. Turns out Mimi's just messing with Seung-bok's head. The whole incident was a set-up by Mimi, and a deliberate reference to the classic Chinese novel Dream of the Red Chamber, which also features a character meeting his "mirror". | |

People's Republic of Tyranny | |

People's Republic of Tyranny: Many of the laws passed by the Mugunghwa Council have pleasant-sounding names that pave the way for sinister policies. The most representative is probably the last bill passed by the Council, that allows Ryu to concurrently be President and Chief Councilor, and therefore turns the ship into a dictatorship. It is euphemistically named the Unity Act and is justified by giving people more equality and political rights. | |

See Addressing the Player. If you get really harsh on *Mute in day three of the Harem route, where *Mute is about to kill herself, such as bringing up her failure in the last game to save anyone and calling her out on her sexism, *Hyun-ae will say she needs support, not a tongue-lashing. | |
