* MeaningfulName: The name of Doc and Beans' company is Oubliette Studios. An oubliette a type of medieval dungeon with its only door in the ceiling. Aside from suiting Beans' NightmareFetishist tastes, the name foreshadows that the studio will be where her and Doc's creative and romantic partnership wastes away and eventually dies.

* DownerEnding: Doc and Beans have broken up, Oubliette Studios has dissolved, Dark Quiet Death has been largely forgotten except for an obnoxious furry mascot character introduced after the franchise had sold out to become more marketable, and the graffiti left behind by Doc and Beans in the office space now occupied by MQ seems to be an ominous omen for Ian and Poppy's own partnership.

In the mid-1990's, two patrons in a video game store bicker, banter, and eventually bond. Doc (real name Michael) is a game developer with enough experience to be somewhat cynical, and Beans (real name never given) is an outsider with morbid sensibilities and a disdain for the generic titles flooding the market. The two eventually marry, found their own studio, and produce ''Dark Quiet Death'', a unique game which becomes a minor hit. But success brings new challenges when demands from investors force them to decide how much to compromise their creative vision.
