* FictionalCurrency: Boarding on WirdCurrency, as Robert's accidental haggling at the start of the first game reveals the existence of numerous denominations, all with strange names using the letters in Asposia, with the length of the name indicating value.

* ManipulativeBastard: Conroy, though ObviouslyEvil, [[spoiler: Made people believe he was the lesser of two evils when compared to the Basilians - his creations mind you - in order to rule over everyone, including and especially towards Robert, who he kept under his thumb in order to keep the air flowing out of the wind fountain. even when he's dead, he influenced one particular individual into becoming his biggest zealot long after he died, creating a cause that worships him.]]

* MeaningfulMame: Fosfosses are named after phosphorus, a chemical element that also glows. As for a certain other character, see SdrawkcabName.

It follows the story of Robert, a member of a race called the Asposians, who live within a HollowWorld known -likewise - as Asposia. Living with a callous Wind Monk named Conroy, Robert possesses a flute-like nose unlike any other that Conroy loves to hear play, and is the reason he hides Robert from the world within his fort-like home. Until, that is, Robert accidentally fall down the garbage shoot, and comes out in the slums of Asposia. while trying to get a trinket back from a Pigeon named Peck, Robert runs into his owner, Laura, a rebel against Conroy, and his shady dealings involving the wind gods, the Basilians. From there Robert embarks on an adventure to figure out where he's from and find the truth behind his increasingly menacing guardian.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Once per game. In the first Robert leads some guards off their pre-set path of footprints by stamping some false ones that lead off a ledge and into a chasm, to which he tries to convince himself they're still alive before devolving into this trope. In the second, a paranoid passenger for a train Robert needs to ride needs to be made ineligible by making the amount of juice he has to much for travel [[spoiler: turns out the guy was a ProperlyParanoid flute nose also trying to get to the safest area of Asposia, and gets found out and arrested. needless to say Roberts not pleased once he sees this.]]

In the sequel, set 3 years after the last game, [[spoiler: Robert has been stuck as a statue thanks to the remnants of the now dead Conroy's world conquering scheme, but in his absence his real royal family, who all are flute noses are being subjected to a witch hunt by the Conroyalists, led by nasty man named Emil, who believe Conroy was a hero who died fighting the flute noses as a hero. Since Robert believes himself unfit to be the new king, and has now revitalized issues involving Conroy's voice hounding his mind, he sets out to find a rumored Last Wind Monk to lead, since the previous three are indisposed of for various reasons.]] Unlike the previous game, Peck and Laura are also playable throughout the adventure to help Robert solve puzzles and progress.

* ShellShockedVeteran: Played with a little bit with Robert regarding Conroy, in the first game, he doesn't really have many issues about his time spent with the wind monk, at least psychologically (he constantly makes reference to the mistreatment and is furious with Conroy once he learns the whole truth, but he doesn't exactly have involuntary reactions or anything) [[spoiler: in the sequel however, once he's un-petrified at the start of the story and reminded of that time, he has a moment of reflection where he remembers a particularly scathing set of comments from Conroy regarding a drawing from his childhood, it breaks him, and Conroy's voice begins to haunt his mind.]]
