''Thirty Flights of Loving'' is the the sequel/SpiritualSuccessor to ''GravityBone'', and now comes bundled with it. While rather short, it still remains notable for it's focus on abstract storytelling over it's predecessor, removing the vast majority of ''Gravity Bone's'' gameplay mechanics in favor of simplicity. You start off playing as an unknown man, who is planning some sort of heist with co-conspirators Anita and Winston. And then [[MindScrew things]] [[WidgetSeries get]] [[AnachronicOrder weird]].

!!Tropes:
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Anita and Winston's special skills, being Demolitions, Mechanic, Sharpshooter, Confectioner, and Forger, Safe Cracker, Pilot, Best Man respectively.
* BadAss: Winston, who despite being wounded, fights his way out of the airport with your help and a luggage cart.
* BlackAndGreyMorality: Debatable, considering that the government seems to be none too idyllic either.
* BulletCam: Used several times by Winston's shots to [[MundaneMadeAwesome hilarious effect]], as he misses on both occasions.
* CreativeClosingCredits: Presented through a museum exhibit presenting the game.
* {{Dystopia}}: The newspaper headlines and the non-alcoholic drinks at the bar seem to hint at this.
* GainaxEnding: But of course. [[spoiler: After a car crash, the credits shown as a museum exhibit, and a demonstration of the Bernoulli principle, the game ends with you riding on the back of Anita's bike again.]]
* InformedAbility: Anita is supposedly a [[StuffBlowingUp demolitions expert]], a [[ColdSniper sharpshooter]], and a [[WrenchWench mechanic]]. She never does any of these onscreen.
** Winston also never cracks any safes or forges any letters onscreen either. At least he actually does fly the plane.
* FirstPersonShooter: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted.]] You can pick up all the guns you want, [[GameplayAndStorySegregation but you never use any of them]].
** However, the game does control like one, in a similar fashion to its [[GravityBone predecessor]].
* LetsPlay: A particularly [[CrowningMomentOfFunny hilarious]] one by [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUchLf1F3GU EatMyDiction1]].
* MindScrew: And how!
* TitleDrop: About a quarter way into the game [[spoiler: in the scene where a wounded Anita is pointing a gun at you]], and is even based off a classic movie title card.
* TheFaceless: The protagonist. We never even learn his name.
