I Work Alone: Elliot adopted this mindset after their partner was (presumably) killed in action. Unfortunately for them, the agency they work for forces them to partner up with a new agent, since the job requires more than one person.

Graying Morality
 The Phantom Agent (Visual Novel) / int_6a2486cd
comment
Graying Morality: In the beginning, the story seems to have Black-and-White Morality, with GAIA on one side and The Architect on the other. But Chapter 13 reveals that The Architect was once a normal family man who lost his family and was wrongfully fired by his Corrupt Corporate Executive boss, and Chapter 14 reveals that GAIA isn't as spotless as it seems, and Rowan had good, albeit misguided, motivations for joining The Architect.

Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds
 The Phantom Agent (Visual Novel) / int_7ec94d53
comment
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Despite The Architect being a diabolical international terrorist, it's hard not to feel bad for him when his backstory is revealed in Chapter 13. Before he became The Architect, he was Johann Skovgaard, an engineer in the largest European manufacturing plant of the pharmaceutical company of one of his victims. Several years ago, his wife and unborn child died after drinking water contaminated by a chemical spill, which the company had ignored. When the company couldn't hide it anymore, they blamed him for the spill, and he lost his job and reputation. Since then, he has been seeking revenge on the world for his wife's death.

First-Episode Twist
 The Phantom Agent (Visual Novel) / int_83fb6177
comment
First-Episode Twist: Elliot's partner of five years (in more ways than one), Rowan Salazar, is (presumably) killed in an explosion, just when it looks like they are in the clear. Considering that Rowan was featured in the sneak peeks leading up to the book's release, it's safe to say that few people saw this coming.

Bait-and-Switch: PB initially led players to believe that Rowan will be a love interest, complete with them being featured in a sneak peek and the ability to customize their gender, when in reality they are The Dragon and Agent Gray is the only love interest. But then again, the reason Rowan's gender can be customized is that they are Elliot's former partner before the latter meets Gray.

Character Customization: Of course. The main character's name, body type, gender pronouns, and appearance can be customized (the default name is Elliot Jones). Both of the main character's partners (Rowan Salazar and Agent Gray) can be customized as male or female.

Really Gets Around: Elliot Jones openly flirts with people regardless of gender and can potentially hook up with two different people by the end of Chapter 6 (one of whom is married), as well as potentially flirting with Agent Gray (who mentions this trope verbatim multiple times) every chance they get.
