* BilingualBonus: "Sova" or "sleep" in Swedish, tells a story concerning a sleep-aid game of the same name. Most of the story is a testimonial by one user about the increasingly vivid and disturbing dreams that he is having about being chased by some sort of monster that wants to consume him. [[spoiler:The end of the story mentions four new games that the studio plans to release: Tillfredsställelse, Rensing, Graviditet, and Dödshjälp, or satisfaction, cleansing, pregnancy, and euthanasia.]] While it's not entirely clear what this means, taken together it paints a disturbing picture.



* DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:Jon Winter]] in "Save Alex Save Jon". An unusual case in that it seems to be motivated by a combination of [[spoiler:protecting his sister and creating content for his website.]]

* BambooTechnology:
** In ''The Naduex Machine'', Marcel Naduex created an advanced computer capable of discussing ethics using 1700s technology, with an input of ceramic tiles and an output of a voice on a wax cylinder.
** Downplayed in ''The Geist House''. While the titular game hasn't been fully realized, its author was both able to predict and utilize the existence of Wifi and Bluetooth-connected devices, and write their own coding language.
