  • Angst? What Angst?: The boy in Benny's scenario, who never mentions his mother again after learning of her tragic death.
    • Also Ellen is snarky as hell despite having suffered through 109 years of torture.
  • It's Hard, So It Sucks!: Many gamers argue that this is one of the toughest puzzle games ever created to this day. Admittedly, just playing the game on a simple playthrough without trying to attain the Golden Ending is still very difficult due to how everything you need to do just to get through a level is so well hidden, doing the wrong thing instantly ends your character's story, and it's hard to keep track of your Karma Meter if you're too concentrated on exploring the areas. See Guide Dang It! in the main section for more explanation.
  • Memetic Mutation: AM's opening speech, as well as "GORRISTER!".
  • No Problem With Licensed Games: Aside from various Guide Dang It! situations, the video game adaptation is generally well-received. It helps that one of the head writers, and the voice of AM, was the book's author (allowing for some really good Adaptation Expansion).
  • Stoic Woobie: Gorrister is so emotionally broken due to all the hardships he's endured over his 109 years of physical and mental torture and can't even express anything other than his stoic demeanor.
