* RealitySubtext: Covington Wofford looks to be in a very fragile state of mind thanks to the death of his twin brother Hamilton, and Quinlan has to occasionally guide him through the conversation to keep him from getting confused. At the time of production, Burgess Meredith was actually suffering from Alzheimer's Disease and in other productions from around this time (like ''Film/GrumpierOldMen''), he needed to be coached through his scenes.

* ActingForTwo: Oscar nominee Creator/BurgessMeredith pulls double duty playing twin brothers.
* AllStarCast: It's rather astonishing how many A-list actors this FMV game managed to attract. Creator/ChristopherWalken, Creator/BurgessMeredith, Karen Allen, and Creator/JohnRhysDavies all get top billing. Creator/PaulGiamatti is also in this, but this was back when he was an unknown NYC actor.

* MoneyDearBoy: The most probable motivation behind the actors in this game. Particularly sad in Burgess Meredith's case, since this was his last role before he died.

* ActorAllusion:
** Possibly unintentional, but when Magnotta says Quinlin is on thin ice and "when it cracks, ain't nobody gonna hear you scream", it's hard not to think of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLhFIwkbtJI this.]]
** Not only that, but at one point, Magnotta mentions that anything he gives Quinlan should be considered "Series/PenniesFromHeaven".

* FakeBrit: The fake Cockney accents from Falconetti's recording of their last session in Whitechapel are particularly painful. Best shown in the mangled pronounciation of "Spitalfields" (Spit-al-fields) as ''Spy-del-fields''.
