{{quote|''"I'm not really sure where 'here' is, to tell you the truth ."''|The Boy}}
The game stars a [[There's No B in Movie|B-movie-loving]] [[A Boy and His X|boy and his dog]], who stumble upon an abandoned mansion in the middle of [[Everytown, America|Podunk, USA]]. After a mishap with a mysterious-looking device, the boy and his canine companion get transported to [[Another Dimension]], and find out that four other people have been trapped inside for decades, the disastrous result of the Evermore experiment 30 years ago. His goal becomes to explore this strange new world, learn the history of the Evermore project, and find a way to get everyone back to Earth. While the story isn't nearly as involved as it might sound, the game isn't without its highlights, the aforementioned soundtrack being one of them, the subversions of some path-of-least-resistance video game economic tropes being another.

* [[Abandoned Laboratory]]/[[Big Fancy House]]: Ruffleberg's derelict mansion.
* [[
* [[Absurdly Spacious Sewer]]: There are several of these, and each is a maze that must be successfully navigated to proceed.
* [[Adipose Rex]]: A female variant: Queen Bluegarden, whose derrière is the size of a Buick.
Line 191 ⟶ 192:
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: Elizabeth's reaction to your dog, regardless of what you've named him.
* [[Year Outside, Hour Inside]]: Prof. Ruffleberg's initial experiment with Evermore took place in 1965. Thirty years later, when the hero finds them, they're not any older, and even comment in the ending that life will be much different now. This may be more of a case of [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]] as everyone is well aware of exactly how much time has passed since the experiment, but none of them have aged a day. This makes them want to return home all the more.
▲* [[You Must Be This Tall to Enter]]: Comes in three varieties. First, the weeds that your starting bone weapon can't cut down until you get the Spider Claw. Second, the switches in a dungeon have to be hit from a distance, and your spear is too light to do the job, so you have to find the heavier Bronze Spear. And then there's stone barriers and blocked doorways that your current Axe is too weak to demolish, so you have to find an upgrade.
