Tropes:
- Big Brother Instinct: Orion becomes a big brother to Max while the two are trapped in the demon dimension.
- Color Motif: Colors are used to represent different dimensions (blue for Max's dimension, red for the demon dimension). Also, each of the characters are associated with a different color:
- Blue for Max.
- Gold for Orion.
- Pink for Alice.
- Neon green for Richard.
- Purple for The World Ender.
- Eldritch Abomination: Features an inky demon-like monster who speaks only in cryptographs.
- Mental World: The spooky forest Max finds himself in at the beginning of the story ends up being a tampered version of his mindscape.
- Red/Green Contrast: Max's color ends up becoming red in the sequel, contrasting with Richard's green. As Max tries to stop Richard and fails, the red in his outfits starts to turn grey, being drowned out by the green.
