* EvilInc: Typhon is a big mining conglomerate that operates close to Haven Springs and is the closest thing the game has to a definitive BigBad. [[spoiler:As Deputy Pike points out, they also have plenty of lawyers, politicians, and shady resources to silence Alex if she tries to keep investigating.]]

* HollywoodNewEngland: When Steph asks Alex where she should go when she leaves town, one of the available options is Salem, Massachusetts. Alex will then joke that Steph would blend in well with the "Massholes" that live there (if she doesn't [[SalemIsWitchCountry join a coven]], that is).
-->'''Alex:''' What if you infiltrate a bunch of Massachusetts bros? Hang out in a dank bar til 2, shouting "Go Sox!" at the TV.\\
'''Steph:''' You know what? Yeah. That sounds wicked rad. Get real tough and edgy, really integrate into the whole scene.\\
'''Alex:''' You start challenging dudes twice your size to drinking contests. You never lose, obviously.

* SalemIsWitchCountry: Salem, MA is one of Steph's choices for a new place to live when she leaves town; she deems the place "the Halloween capital of the world", and she and Alex joke about her joining a coven.
-->'''Alex:''' You join a coven.\\
'''Steph:''' A lesbian coven.\\
'''Alex:''' Is there any other kind? You hang out in graveyards and perform rituals to speak to the dead.\\
'''Steph:''' None of which ever work, but that's okay, cuz I get a load of old tombstone rubbings to decorate my apartment with.

*** It's worth noting that this is slightly contradicted in the novel ''Literature/LifeIsStrangeStephsStory'', which has George and Lita's break-up taking place when Steph is around 12 years old. (The book hints that they remained AmicableExes, which is presumably why they were still sending joint greetings cards years later, if indeed this isn't simply a ContinuitySnarl.)

* {{Deconstruction}}: Alex is this of the shy foster kid stereotype. She does have her moments of snark and warmth, but she's also heavily traumatized by her time in foster care around so many volatile emotions, which has led to her appropriately rejecting her 'curse' rather than seeing it in a positive light.

* MistakenForDog: One of the [[BlandNameProduct MyBook]]-threads you can read was from a poster that posted a picture of a large cat they had found in their garbage can and asked if someone had lost it. The poster was quickly informed that it was actually a mountain lion cub that should absolutely not be interacted with. The poster then sheepishly asked what one should do if it "happened" to be on their bed.
