* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Clover ends up dead thanks to Andre rather than his disease; he died happy thanks to believing that his infant sister survived the disease, but it was only because of a lie created by Andre and Vincent regarding how all time stopped on the Island and having someone who shared the same name trick him into thinking it was his sister grown up...the fact still remains that Clover's village and Dysis will forever be shook and emotionally scarred by his death, and whether or not the plan was ethical isn't really discussed. There are still many questions that are never truly answered and are left in ambiguity, and ultimately it's implied Andre feels regret about going through with his plan and will take this secret to his grave...[[TheStinger after the credits]], Vincent is shown to have gained a new perspective of life and makes the island a sort of monument to Clover]].

* MissionControl: Nikolai serves as this for Dysis [[spoiler:until Andre steals her communicator]], [[spoiler:which Nikolai knew would happen given he's Andre's right-hand man]].

* HardTruthAesop: Life can brutally unfair; sometimes the worst things like terminal illness can happen to the best people, and all you can do is cherish your time with them and make sure they're as happy as they can be before it's their time.

* AllForNothing: Defied; [[spoiler: After Vincent learned that the monoliths pretty much revealed that it was just a message that immortality was impossible, he knew it would crush Clover so went out of his way to call Andre to help defy this. Andre destroyed certain monoliths and create portals between certain monoliths to rewrite the message so that it implied that anyone who stayed on the island lived forever, and then devised a plan for Vincent to go through with after to make sure Clover died happy believing in it]].

* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:Clover's journey was essentially this as his sister was already dead by the time he got there, and so was Dysis' since the nature of her mission was all fabricated by Andre]].

'''''Evan's Remains''''' is a somber mystery-thriller Main/EnvironmentalNarrativeGame developed by [[https://itch.io/profile/maitan69 Matías Schmied]] that contains puzzles that the player can either complete or skip altogether in favor of progressing with the story.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Dysis has no idea as to why Evan fled or what's going on. [[spoiler:Justified in that Andre wanted this to be the case so that her connection with Clover was genuine]].

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Clover ends up dead thanks to Andre rather than his disease; he died happy thanks to believing that his infant sister survived the disease, but it was only because of a lie created by Andre and Vincent regarding how all time stopped on the Island and having someone who shared the same name trick him into thinking it was his sister grown up, believing he failed his younger sister...the fact still remains that Clover's village and Dysis will forever be shook by his death, and whether or not it was ethical isn't really discussed.

* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Dysis has no idea as to why Evan fled or what's going on.

* PsychoSidekick: Downplayed; [[spoiler: At best, Andre is morally questionable and Vincent isn't squeaky-clean given how Andre suffered for him; Andre sends off Clover with a happy ending albeit through a poisoned water supply, ''but whether it was really because he genuinely cared or he just wanted to toy around with people to get back at Vincent is unknown''. He also seems to show a blatant disregard for ethics based on his methods, which bothered Vincent to no end]].

* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: Downplayed; For most of the game you play as Dysis, who's sent to search for "Evan" on behalf of a company named Up-Bring...[[spoiler:but after Clover dies you spend the remainder of the game playing as Vincent, the face behind Up-Bring's mascot "Evan Goldstein", who at that point had only been seen in various flashbacks during different points of the game and learning about who "Evan" and Up-Bring really are as well as the truth behind why Dysis was sent to the Island in the first place. Literally nothing changes except the perspective and the timeline of events]].
