!!''The Adventures of Zomboy'' provides examples of:
* AfterTheEnd: {{Implied|Trope}}. The story takes place after a huge outbreak exacerbated by ADV.
* AmnesiacHero: Zomboy's main quest is to get his memory back after he loses it. He spends the game searching for answers, retrieving all seven pieces of a map, and eventually reading his diary.
* FriendlyZombie: Zomboy is a kind and helpful zombie who helps various NPCs in his quest,
* HookingTheKeys: A variant. The girl is trapped outside of the bus in which she and her father have
* NamelessNarrative: With the exception of Dr. Seaver, virtually no one is given a name in this game. Zomboy's real name is never revealed despite his quest to retrieve his memories.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The zombies are people [[ArtificialZombie resurrected by the ADV vaccine]], capable of movement and very limited reasoning, becoming aggressive like your normal flesh-eating zombie. But it's also implied that when they eat brains in cans, which increases their brainpower, they can become friendlier like Zomboy, albeit at the cost of their memories. However, they can still revert back to their instincts at times, such as when Zomboy bites a drunk man at the dumpster to get a map piece.
