* HardTruthAesop: Some people aren't well-suited to be parents simply because they're doomed to repeat their own parents' mistakes. Riley had a difficult relationship with her father, who never got over her mother's departure. [[spoiler:She's also two months pregnant with a son named Rex, and she dreads that she'll mess things up with him the same way her dad did with her. At the end of the game, Alex reveals to her that things indeed end poorly with Rex no matter what she does. The best Riley can do is remain stuck between dimensions to prevent Rex from ever being born, perpetually repeating a happy would-be moment with him in his childhood.]]

However, toward the end of the game, Alex reveals that she’s remorseful for her actions and that the Sunken are the real enemies. She even tries to stop Olivia from helping them]].

** When you encounter Violet at the transmitter site past the caves, [[spoiler:she gets possessed by the Sunken and begins recursively acting out a past argument with her mother.

* FreudianExcuse: The reason why Olivia is so desperate to open the portals and free the Sunken is because [[spoiler:she lost her parents in a plane crash a few years ago, and she believes that the portals allow her a chance to either bring them back or at least remain with them forever]].
* GrowingUpSucks: Nick the sailor is regretful about the adventurous life he yearned in his youth, but never got to live.

* MysteryCult: Parentage has this reputation; they're ultra-secretive and their rituals and customs seem strange to outsiders, giving them a local reputation as a bunch of kooks who dance naked in the forest. As it turns out, [[spoiler:they're not much more than a harmless group of hippy-dippies obsessed with astrology and yoga. Interestingly, their practices were much more violent in the past but mellowed out over the centuries.]]

When questioned, he simply says that he doesn't have much to live for and that he doesn't like his life enough to stick around for it. A very melancholy epilogue follows if you let him go.]]
