* MindScrew: Entirely unintentional with Ciencin's comics. Even if you can figure out the annoyingly confusing, nonsensical, and PlotHole filled story, you probably won't be able to figure out what's happening due to the bizarre and terribly colored art.

* YouAreTheDemons: [[spoiler: Kenneth. His lineage is key to the Order's plan. His father fell in love with a demon that pretended to be a human. But she was literally a NobleDemon, "of a higher order than these '''animals'''". It's possible that she was actually one of Silent Hill's gods]].

* ADogNamedCat: Kenneth is revealed to have a dog named "Bear".

* SleepingWithTheBosssWife: A backstory of ''Sinner's Reward'' shows that Jack had slept with Jill, the wife of the mob boss who hired Jack, before the two of them decided to ditch said mob boss and start their lives anew. It also overlaps with PlotIncitingInfidelity, as said mob boss was unaware of the love affair between Jack and Jill until they left together.

* PlotInducingInfidelity: Jack and Jill's love affair serves to kick-start the plot of ''Sinner's Reward'', as the mob boss, who hired Jack and is Jill's husband, was unaware of said love affair until Jack and Jill ran away together, leading to him deciding to have them brought back to him, which results in all of them ending up in Silent Hill.

* YourCheatingHeart: Jill, wife of the mob boss who hired Jack, became attracted to Jack upon meeting him (and the feeling is mutual). She and Jack leaving together, and the mob boss' decision to have them brought back to him, drove the plot to ''Sinner's Reward''.

* NothingPersonal: Jack insists that the murders done by him as such, as he's a hit man for hire. [[spoiler:Sara]] doesn't buy it, insisting that ItsPersonal for her.

* EvilAlbino: Whately, the Order representative.

* NamesTheSame: Dahlia. She couldn't be any different from the game's Dahlia though.

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Jack's father, a professional hit man himself, pressured Jack to have the same profession as he.

* LeaveNoWitnesses: The backstory of ''Sinner's Reward''. [[spoiler: A mob boss Sara's father offended put a hit on Sara's father. Jack, the hit man said mob boss enlisted to eliminate Sara's father, carried out the murder of Sara's father, before killing Sara's mother as well (since she was right next to her husband). On the way out, Jack encountered Sara and, not wishing to run the risk of having Sara incriminating him as a witness, murdered her as well before fleeing the scene.]] Sara is understandably '''angry''' once the truth is made clear.
