* TwoDunIt: The Whistling Man trying to kill people during the game is noted to have escaped [[LockedRoomMystery a room locked from the outside]], and attacking very frequently despite distances between each potential victim, which is explained as being [[spoiler: due to the Whistling Man being two people, Marie Campbell and her son, Henry Barrow.]]

** Finally, [[spoiler:after Henry traps you in the soundbooth, you get a call from Marie]]. If you have failed to save every single person in the game at this point, [[spoiler:Forrest, Peggy, and Teddy will all die]]. Furthermore, if you guess [[spoiler:Marie]]'s location incorrectly, [[spoiler:Teddy will blurt out the correct answer and cause Marie to kill him on the spot. Then, if you can't find Marie's card on Peggy's desk to prove that she cared about Marie, Peggy will die, with Forrest following suit]].

** [[spoiler:All of the Whistling Man's attempted victims, with the exception of Eugene Stine, Roller Ricky, and Peggy, were guilty of this twenty years prior, being directly involved in a prank that ended up getting their friend George Barrow killed. Teddy Gallows Jr. in particular had a lot to lose if word got out that he was guilty of manslaughter, which lead to his father bribing or blackmailing the entire town into covering up the real circumstances behind George's death in order to keep his son's future in politics secure.]]

Added DiffLines:

** Regardless of whether or not you save Dr. Virginia Sullivan, she'll still fearfully utter, [[spoiler: "Clive, I didn't talk!"]] This gets Forrest and Peggy thinking about the implications. On that note, much later in the game, they will always follow up on [[spoiler: Clive's origins by investigating the basement]].
** Whether or not the player saves all, some, or none of Carrie's friends, [[spoiler: she will always be the surviving FinalGirl of her group. The Whistling Man will spare her, and if you manage to get Carrie trapped in the car wreck, even free her before leaving]].
** Whether or not the player managed to [[spoiler: call Chuck Brody at his gas station to save him, the place will still detonate into flames. Crucially, this always gets rid of Gallow's Creek's only ambulance, which directly comes into play regarding Casey Moore and Jason Parker's situation]].
** Whether or not the player managed to save [[spoiler: Jason Parker's life, what he knows about George's girlfriend will still be relay to Forrest and Peggy, before the phone line's cut off at the big name reveal. If he dies, it would be told by Casey.]]

*** There are a number of details that [[spoiler:spell out her true intentions in the last call she makes. First, she mentions she's locked out of her apartment by the Starling Security 4000 System. However, according to documentation next to the security system's manual, that system hasn't been installed into the apartments yet. Second, a train audibly passes by and a dog is heard barking. On the town map, there's no place for a train to pass by near the apartments... but a train ''does'' pass by Roller Ricky's place, and his dog Max loves to bark at the trains. Thirdly, her "neighbor" starts blasting music of Ricky's own taste. Fourthly, if one comes across the Wood Side Apartment advertisement at [=KFAM's=] receptionist area, the premise specifically prohibits pets. Yet, Dawn treats pet ownership in the area as an annoying, but normal occurrence.]]

* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:If you play your cards carefully enough and in a very specific way, Scott, one of the teens in Carrie's entourage, might be the only person- among those that you are capable of saving, anyway- that ends up dying on Whistling Night ''after'' escaping the Whistling Man's clutches, and it'll be implied that it wasn't even because either of them managed to find him again (as his death doesn't prevent you from getting the GoldenEnding); Jeanie's friendship quiz assigns him as "the most likely to get into a car crash", and Scott is only marked dead if you assign him as the getaway driver, suggesting that he crashed the van in such a way that got himself, but nobody else, killed.]]

* InSpiteOfANail: Certain story events will happen regardless of the player's success or failure, though their context or execution will be changed or lost:
** Leslie Harper, the player's first caller, will always slip away from her encounter with The Whistling Man. She's crucial in kickstarting the plot: getting help from the neighboring town of Henderson and transferring 911 duties to Forrest and Peggy. [[spoiler: This isn't guaranteed for Deputy Sara Martinez, whose life is on the line.]]
** Even if the player successfully saves Maurice [[spoiler: and traps The Whistling Man in the Archive Room, the killer still manages to mysteriously escape much later. This becomes important later to explain their "supernatural" teleporting - there are two of them. Naturally, The Whistling Man killing Maurice never raises this question.]]

* {{Foil}}: [[spoiler: Carrie and Marie Campbell. On Whistling Night, both women were pranked by their high school friends and schoolmates into thinking The Whistling Man was after them. Upon learning the truth, they were naturally peeved off, but things turned tragic when one of their closest friends was killed by the prank's unforeseen consequences. Where they differ is how they rationalize what to do next. Marie's quest to avenge her deceased boyfriend George leads her down a dark self-righteous path, willing to kill everyone related to the event years later. By contrast, Carrie opts to save her remaining friends from the real modern-day Whistling Man, even selflessly leaving herself behind and bracing for the worse.]]
