Gambling Ruins Lives: Medhani is revealed to have a massive gambling problem in Chapter 10. Her habits caused her to fall into debt with some loan sharks to the point that they resorted to violence to get her to pay up. Nick paid off her gambling debts, but only on the condition that Medhani not repeat the same mistake. Unfortunately, old habits die hard, and she didn't learn her lesson. On the weekend of the murder mystery party, Medhani planned to ask Nick for a loan (without telling him what it was for), and the reveal that Nick was going to give away his entire fortune (thereby denying Medhani her financial respite) is what makes her a prime suspect in Nick's murder until she bit the dust herself.

Fell Asleep Driving: Crystal's "miracle cream" Revivify caused several people to do this, since it has enough muscle relaxant in it that it functions as a sedative (something that Crystal neglected to mention), and she's currently facing a lawsuit over it.

Defrosting Ice King: Jun is a lot more guarded and reserved than Dante and Farah. Though Finn can get relationship points with him from the beginning, his romance route is a much slower burn.

comment
The Friend Nobody Likes: Steve. After Nick is killed, it's gradually revealed he was the only person who liked Steve while everyone else barely tolerates him at best, or hates him at worst. In particular, Jun, who is usually calm and collected, finds Steve intolerable enough than he's one of the only people who can truly rile him up. Given he's a self-centered and greedy criminal who spouts off some sexist dialogue, it's not hard to see why.

Queer Establishing Moment: Farah is revealed to be queer in The Deadliest Gambit; she, Nick, Jun, and Dante are discussing dates they went on, and Farah mentions going out with a duchess. Chapter 4 of The Deadliest Game explicitly reveals that she's bisexual. During a premium scene with Dante in Chapter 7, he mentions being bisexual while discussing his upcoming movie with Finn and how the queer representation in it is important to him.

Red Herring: Most of Chapter 10 revolves around Finn and their allies thinking Medhani is the one that killed Nick, only for the chapter to end with Medhani being murdered as well, in a way that emulates one of Finn's manuscripts.

comment
Hate Sink: Although it's currently not known if he's the killer, Steve is so far the most detestable of the suspects. He has no qualms over stealing from Nick, someone who considered Steve his friend, after he had been murdered and selling his ideas to his competitors. Jun also reveals that Steve has conned several people out of their money, including a single father who was trying to put his child through college. Several lines of dialogue in Chapter 10 also heavily imply that Steve is a misogynist. Crystal is just as bad, if not worse than Steve. She hawks a skincare product that she knows is dangerous, not caring that people could have died from using her products. She has also bribed Journalists to keep the resulting lawsuit out of the news, caring more about her reputation than other peoples' safety.
