* AsLongAsThereIsEvil: [[spoiler:In their face-to-face meeting, The Grim is incredulous that the player character was able to persevere and defeat him by restoring hope to the Soul Void, but claims that he'll be back as soon as the player character feels those dark thoughts that let him pull them into the Soul Void.]]

* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: [[spoiler:The Grim was responsible for dragging the main character into the Soul Void, sensing their suicidal misery and believing that he'd gain untold power if he fed on the misery of both the dead and the living.

Soul Void is a 2019 Indie pixel RPG created by Kadabura. The unnamed player character wakes up in a black void land filled with deceased souls. These souls have fallen through the cracks on their way to the afterlife and ended up in the [[TitleDrop soul void]], a sort of purgatory that they can't escape. Some live mostly fine, but others go insane. The land grows more twisted and dangerous the further in the player travels, but the only way home is to confront what's waiting deep in the void and the secrets it holds.

!! This game provides examples of:
* AdventurerOutfit: The Seeker's outfit resembles the AdventureArchaeologist version of this, with his BadassLongcoat and FedoraOfAsskicking.
* ApocalypticLog: The player can find pieces of The Seeker's research scattered around the soul void, documenting his quest to find out why everyone is trapped.
* BadassLongcoat: The Seeker wears something resembling this.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: [[SilentProtagonist The player character]] was far stronger than [[spoiler:The Grim]] expected.
* TheBlank: The Mayor's face is empty except for a deep, black scar running down it.
* BodyHorror: The NPC designs and environments thrive on body parts where they don't belong, such as the women with arms growing out of their faces.
* BreatherEpisode: The Respite is this, coming in between the player character having horror hallucinations and The Emptiness, a place where the flowers no longer grow and the mutations have only grown worse.
* CreepyCave: The Blood Cave is one of the more unsettling areas of the map.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: The majority of the beings in the soul void have one of these. [[spoiler:Actually [[InvokedTrope invoked]] by The Grim. They intentionally pulled those with weak or troubled minds into the soul void because they have more misery to feed on.]]
* TheDarknessGazesBack: This is usually how The Grim appears.
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:The Mayor makes one with The Grim. If she forbids souls that traveled deep into the soul void from reentering town, then The Grim will leave the town alone.]] It doesn't stick.
* DrawAggro: The Seeker acts as a diversion to get the player off The Grim's radar.
* EmpathicEnvironment: Taken literally. The soul void reads the memories and feelings of the lost souls and adapts to them, but [[spoiler:negative feelings stick more and cause the landscape to warp into the inhabitants' personal nightmares.]]
* ForcedTransformation: This is what happens to souls that lose hope, turning them into [[WasOnceAMan mutated monsters.]] Some are more lucid than others.
* GentlemanAndAScholar: The Seeker is well-mannered and polite to all he meets, and is dedicating his research to helping the other citizens of the soul void.
* GhostlyGape: The Husk's eyes are black sockets.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: How The Husk feels.
* MeaningfulAppearance: The souls' corrupted appearances often reflect something about them, such as [[spoiler:The Leech, who felt guilty after feeding on the suffering of others alongside The Grim and became corrupted when she stopped.]]
* NightmareFace: The Grim has one of these due to his CheshireCatGrin and GlowingEyesOfDoom.
* OntologicalMystery: The player character has no idea where she is or what's going on when she wakes up in the soul void.
* OrWasItADream: When the player character returns to the world of the living, [[spoiler:she still has the locket that The Leech and The Waiting gave to her.]]
* SignatureHeadgear: The Seeker has his hat, which he's quite attached to.
* SilenceIsGolden: There are no music or sound effects in the game.
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Pretty much all the named characters follow this format. The Seeker, The Grim, The Waiting, etc. It's faster to list the characters with no "the" in their names.
* VillainsLoveEntertainment: One of The Grim's main motivations.
* TheVoiceless: The player character is this [[spoiler:until the confrontation with The Grim.]]
