And Then There Were None: Difference between revisions

 

The "U.N. Owen" of this story provides inspiration for, but is not directly related to, the popular song ''[[Touhou|U.N. Owen Was Her?]]''.

 

* [[Acquitted Too Late]]: The [[Trope Namer]]; Judge Wargrave remarks that only the dead are above suspicion. {{spoiler|However, it's more of an [[Invoked Trope]] here than a straight example; once the "death proves innocence" idea is set in the party's minds, the killer fakes their own death to throw suspicion off themselves.}}

* [[Asshole Victim]]: ''None'' of the victims is exactly an innocent, though a few [[Sympathetic Murderer|are sympathetic to varying degrees.]]

* [[Wouldn't Hit a Girl]]: Played straight with Philip Lombard and Vera Claythorne {{spoiler|with disastrous results, as she shoots him to death.}}

 

* [[Bladder of Steel]]: If you want to listen to the culprit's entire [[Motive Rant]] at the end of the game, you'd ''better'' make a quick trip to the bathroom first.

* [[The Butler Did It]]: Invoked in the game by Blore when you ask him who he thinks did it. {{spoiler|It's still averted, however.}}
