* BadBadActing: [[spoiler:The auditions for Pierre's game in the second castle tape]].

* [[spoiler: {{Expy}}: Some of the audio tapes you can listen to are by a man named Pierre, who sounds and acts a lot like [[Film/TheRoom Tommy Wiseau]], down to the ambiguously French accent and being a little too passionate about game concepts. He's implied to be the game's creator, and is one of the reasons a lot of the staff have quit.]]

** [[spoiler: This is a RunningGag- throughout the game, you'll see posters on the walls for other game presumably made by the same person who created the game you're trying to play.]]
* SatireParodyPastiche: Seems to be a satire of the fact that Triple-A video games are pushing to become more "cinematic", and what would happen if they were run like actual movies. Also a parody of uber-artistic indie games, the nitty gritty of game development, and catering to the player. Like anything related to The Stanley Parable it covers a lot of topics.
* ShoutOut: The alarm system you deal with looks just like the one seen in [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Team Fortress 2's]] Meet The Spy video.

An EnvironmentalNarrativeGame released in 2015 by Crows Crows Crows, an independent studio founded by William Pugh of ''VideoGame/TheStanleyParable'' fame ([[BlatantLies not that that'll be significant to this game]]), ''Dr Langeskov, The Tiger and the Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist'' is a nail-biting, pulse-pounding action game where the player takes on the role of a master thief on the hunt for a cursed emerald... all the while trying not to get eaten by the tiger. Mustn't forget the tiger.

[[labelnote:Click once you've finished the game]]Ok, we've beaten about the bush for long enough. The game is actually a first-person narrative experience where the player takes on the role of someone who was ''meant'' to be playing the game, but wound up stuck behind the scenes of the game while someone else plays it. As a result, you end up getting guided through said scenery by one of the staff behind the game, with questionable degrees of competency on his part.[[/labelnote]]

* ArcNumber: [[spoiler: 1868 6263 2469 5948. Nobody has been able to figure out theire significance, but they seem to tie in with the above mentioned ARG.]]

* SatireParodyPastiche: Seems to be a satire of the fact that Triple-A video games are pushing to become more "cinematic", and what would happen if they were run like actual movies. Also a parody of uber-artistic indie games.

* WritersStrike: The reason you have to do a lot of the grunt work in the game is because of one of these, with reasons stated for leaving including an office being turned into a shrubbery department.

* ContinueYourMissonDammit: THE GAME. The Staff Member is relentlessly passive-agressive about you doing what he wants you to do and will nervously keep stammering that you need to do it.

* AlternateRealityGame: Going onto the CrowsCrowsCrows website reveals some form of puzzle linked to a series of police reports about thefts of various objects. Cursed objects. Such as the Terribly Cursed Emerald in the title.

* WhatDoesThisButtonDo: The switch marked "Lasers" serves as this, [[spoiler:and ends up doing something disheartening off-camera to the actual player of the game. The staff member chews you out later if you push it, but he lets it go.]]

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Taken to a logical extreme in that it's [[spoiler:another player you're screwing with by pushing the inconspicuous button marked "lasers". The staff member chews you out for this later.]]
