* AndNowForSomeoneCompletelyDifferent: From time to time, the player's point of view shifts from Yosafire to various other members of the cast.cast.
* AnotherStoryForAnotherTime: Characters often allude to the war between the angels and demons, but we never hear all the details about it.

* AuthorAvatar: The bizarre Mogeko cat avatar appears throughout the game as merchants, healers, some of the flame demons, and bonus givers.
* BeachEpisode: The bonus video "Yosafire On The Beach".
* BigDamnHeroes: Grora is introduced this way when she saves the girls from a swarm of bats. The girls are saved from the flaming bats again later by [[spoiler: Lowrie and Greif.]] Also towards the end, [[spoiler: Etihw does this.]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Yosafire introduces herself and most of the other characters directly to the reader. Froze will ask who is she talking to while Yosafire introduces her.
* ChekhovsGun: Earlier in the game, Yosafire and Froze have to look for Froze's pocketwatch. [[spoiler: The same pocketwatch would end up saving Froze from being fatally stabbed by Emalf.]]
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: None of the village girls have parents and they all (aside from Dialo and Chelan and the Preserves sisters) live on their own. [[spoiler: Justified in that they are the reincarnations of the angels and demons who died in the great war as silhouetted in [[https://31.media.tumblr.com/04fe234ba6d0f9b5f2cc4fc0797c205f/tumblr_inline_n0bzh4SrV91qgji20.png this CG]].]]
* DressedToKill: The FacelessMooks of the Flame World wear these. Yosaf and the gang follow their example for disguises.
* FemaleAngelMaleDemon: Etihw leads the angels whereas Kcalb rules over the demons.
* FinishingMove: Yosafire, Froze, Macarona, and Rawberry will learn their final Magic attack at Level 30.
* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Yosafire (sanguine), Froze (melancholic), Rawberry (choleric), Macarona (phlegmatic).
* [[GoddamnedBats Goddamned Flaming Bats]]: You have the option of not fighting them, but they will be a nuisance as you walk through the narrows paths on the maps. Aside from the bats, there are other kinds of flame demons and animals like crows, lambs, and rabbits.
* HellInvadesHeaven: In a way. The gray garden has demons living alongside angels in peace until the Flame World full of more violent demons decided to invade.
* HopelessBossFight: Two instances of this. The first is when Yosafire first meets Rieta on the beach. The second is [[spoiler: the first boss fight with Ivlis, who had stolen Kcalb's power]]. In both instances, the boss will be invulnerable to damage and the only way to advance is to keep attacking them until the battle automatically ends.
* LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone: Yosafire does this when she sees Etihw and Kcalb alone together.
* LostFoodGrievance: Basically the story of Garden Gray The. Etihw eats the chocolate cake Kcalb was looking forward to, and in a fit of rage, Kcalb runs away from the castle.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: One where [[spoiler: Macarona unleashes her fury on Emalf]] and another after [[spoiler: the boss battle with Poemi and Emalf back in the village where they actually turn into bloody piles of meat.]]
* NotWhatItLooksLike: At the end when Yosafire goes to the garden to check on Kcalb and sees him and Etihw having a moment, she thinks she's walking in on an "adult" moment, apologizes, and runs away, much to Kcalb's embarrassment and Etihw's amusement.
* OfficialCouple: Kcalb and Etihw.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent / OurDemonsAreDifferent: There are various worlds of angels and demons and the gray garden world is a rare one where angels and demons co-exist peacefully. Passing Demon implies that the angels from her world are much more violent than the ones in the gray garden.
* PaperThinDisguise: When the girls need to avoid getting seen by Emalf and the flame demons, Yosafire comes up with using the suits and sunglasses the demons wear to hide their face and wings. Much to Froze's surprise, the disguises actually work.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Etihw and Kcalb. Wodahs, Grora, and the cats could count too as they fought in the Great War. While Etihw is older than Kcalb, the latter's the one who gets the old jokes thrown at him.
* RomanticTwoGirlFriendship: Yosafire and Froze are the strongest example of this, and it doesn't help that Yosafire talks about how she and Froze are friends sworn in love and how she's going to be Froze's girlfriend. Macarona/Rawberry and Dialo/Chelan also qualify, with the latter pair being the only ones who live together.
* SaveYourDeity: The girls to Kcalb.
* TemptingFate: [[spoiler: Even after the last boss fight, the Flame Demons persist in taking down Yosafire and the girls, and a weakened Kcalb, Wodhas, and Grora. They mock that it would take a god to stop them.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Etihw:''': You rang?]]
* ThemeNaming: Kcalb and Etihw (black and white). Wodahs and Kcalb may also fit (shadow and black). Also the Preserves sisters (Raspberry and Strawberry) [[spoiler: along with their ancestor, [[http://blog-imgs-59-origin.fc2.com/o/k/e/okegomo/967.png Cranber(ry)]].]]
* TheCameo: One of Mogeko's many characters, DJ [[http://okegom.web.fc2.com/character/0008.html Met]], appears in the Bonus Room as a radio DJ interviewing Yosafire.
* TheGlomp: Yosafire does this to Kcalb towards the end after saving him from falling to his death and assures that despite his past, people now still think he's kind and accept him.
* TheStinger: After the credits, [[spoiler: Yosafire is seen leaving the garden when she hears something fall from the sky behind her. Curious, she excitedly turns back to go see what it is and the game ends.]]
* TheUnpronounceable: A few of the [[SdrawkcabName Sdrawkcab Names]] are tricky to pronounce, but from vgperson's [[http://vgperson.tumblr.com/post/75278562933/the-gray-garden-translation-notes-and-juicy-tidbits Gray Garden notes]] (spoiler warning):
** Etihw: "et-tee-ooh"
** Kcalb: "ku-calb"
** Wodahs: "woe-dahz"
* WhyWontYouDie: Yosafire and her friends get very frustrated by how the demons they defeat keep coming back, especially in regards to Emalf where they compare him to a cockroach. [[spoiler: Even literally turning Emalf and Poemi into raw meat doesn't stop them!]]
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenI'mAngry: Specific examples being Macarona, Etihw, and Kcalb.
