Tropes featured in Stone:

  • Bittersweet Ending: Stone and Alex are done for good. But Stone learns from the whole ordeal, and ends the game trying to be a more decent person.
  • Cool People Rebel Against Authority: Stone is a laid back, Hawaiian shirt sporting PI. And conversely does not get along with full on cops. Especially Devil.
  • The Cuckoolander Was Right: It has nothing to do with the plot, but the character of Les mentions how the cops are using drones to spy on people. Later, friend of Stone and police officer Devil mentions that they have drones, but this is skimmed over so Stone can find Alex.
  • Domestic Abuser: Stone was clearly not the best boyfriend to Alex. It eventually drives him to leave him.
  • Dream Sequence: In between chapters, while Stone is sleeping between days investigating, he's having some pretty weird dreams filled with clues on where to go to find Alex.
  • Flash Back: A few of the levels are flashbacks to events leading up to Alex disappearing.
  • Land Downunder: Takes place in Australia and all of the characters (Sans the British Foxes) are anthropomorphic Australian animals.
  • Pronoun Trouble: The game doesn't refer to Alex's gender until after you finally see him in a flashback.
  • Straight Gay: Stone is a schlubby, hard drinking, mans man kind of guy. With a boyfriend.
  • The Stoner: The titular character smokes weed.
