Added DiffLines:
* BarBrawl: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], which is surprising considering how cliché the game's setting is. Jack does get into a confrontation with Semeri in the back of the bar though.
* DiabolusExMachina: [[spoiler:Jack is kidnapped by aliens right when he finds a promising lead on Amanda]]. WordOfGod admitted that [[InvokedTrope this was done deliberately]] to break the game's cliché plot and to shift to an entirely different genre.

Added DiffLines:
* GenreShift: Starts as a bleak FilmNoir. [[spoiler:Ends as a strange sci-fi involving extraterrestrials.]]
Added DiffLines:
* PrecisionFStrike: Semeri, who tells Jack to "fuck off" after he keeps disturbing him while he's working on his van.
Added DiffLines:
* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:Neither Jack nor the players ever find out what happened to Amanda. At best, one can assume that she was probably abducted by the aliens too]].

!!Tropes found in the game:
* TheAlcoholic:
** The drunken moose in the Pink Flamingo.
** Jack Forester as well, who shamelessly drinks bourbon on the job (or whenever his last drink wears off).
* [[spoiler:AlienAbduction: See GainaxEnding below]].
* DrowningMySorrows: Prior to the game, Jack Forester constantly got drunk after the death of his partner.
* FilmNoir
* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler:Jack finally finds Amanda's cabin, only to be abducted by what appear to be aliens. The game ends with him losing consciousness as he rises into the air]].
* LeftHanging: [[spoiler:The game ends with Jack apparently being abducted by aliens, and we have no idea if Amanda and her boyfriend Trevor were abducted as well or still on the run]]. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], however, as [[WordOfGod Affinity Play]] admitted that the ending had to be rushed to meet the Adventure Jam deadline, and because he was busy working on his other game, ''VideoGame/MaxGreene''.
* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: The music that plays in Semeri's van, which was so loud that Jack was unable to talk to the man.
* MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: The entire game is nothing but a classic, cliché tale about a private eye trying to find a missing woman. [[spoiler:Then aliens kidnap him, with not even the slightest hint of their presence anywhere in the game's setting. Then it all ends]].
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: The second Jack arrives at the cabin and sees [[spoiler:the furniture ''floating'', he grabs his gun and sprints outside]].
* WorldOfFunnyAnimals: All of the characters appear to be clothed moose.
