[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17YzW3676KA Greenvale]. An [[Uncanny Village|unassuming small American town]] with all the necessities--a gunsmith, a gas station, a diner, two pubs--and little out of place. Certainly not the kind of place you'd expect to find the mutilated body of a young girl, stripped and bound to a tree as if crucified, left to be found by two young boys. The inexplicable appearance of monstrous humanoids which bleed purple and have a compulsion for bending over backwards and jamming their arms down one's throat is a little odd, too.

* [[Genre Busting]]: One of the reasons this game isn't [[Trope Overdosed]] despite its popularity is the fact that it's so difficult to completely classify in a few words.

* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|Giant Evil Doberman From Nowhere]]: Appears to rise from the ground whenever York is exploring the town late at night.

* [[Girly Run]]: Thomas.

* [[Glasgow Grin]]: The enemies in the nightmare world sport them.

* [[In-Universe Game Clock]]: Time progresses at nearly a real-time rate (25 seconds to every minute). It fast-forwards if you smoke cigarettes or sleep, though doing so will cause your hunger meter to decrease greatly.

* [[Infinite Flashlight]]: Without the flashlight, even!

* [[Insistent Terminology]]: The men of the Morgan family seem to identify mainly by their middle name, since not only is York rarely called Francis, his father Brian Xander Morgan is mostly known as Xander (and even calls his son by his middle name).

* [[Insufferable Genius]]: York isn't shy about letting rural cops George and Emily know he's a much better detective than them. He lightens up on it a little later on though.

** Subverted with the turkey, cereal, and strawberry jam "Sinner's Sandwich": York initially thinks it's supposed to be awful so as to be a form of penance for the eater's past sins, but after he tries one, he finds it to be so delicious that he immediately changes his order to it.

*** [[Truth in Television]] too, if you use a cereal like Cheerios, that sandwich is actually really good.

* [[Let's Play]]: Two done in [[Giant Bomb]]'s Endurance Runs running concurrent to each other, an abandoned one from [[The Spoony Experiment]], and one by [[Something Awful]] member [[Supergreatfriend]].

* [[Limited Wardrobe]]:

* [[Man in White]]: Michael Tillotson. {{spoiler|Also Mr. Stewart in York's dreams}}.

* [[Meaningful Echo]]: General Lysander, who runs the junkyard, keeps going on and on about the importance of speed and having a fast car. Harry Stewart, the only other person the same age as him in town, keeps saying that haste makes waste. "Some people think speed is the only thing that matters. They rely on speed, and are satisfied with what speed brings, but they miss sight of the important details."

* [[Mercy Kill]]:

** {{spoiler|Zach's mother}} begged {{spoiler|his father}} to kill her before the sapling planted in her sprouted.
