* BerserkButton: Several, which will make your death more likely if they are pressed. Insulting his religion, badmouthing his mother, wearing perfume, and insulting his age. He also hates anyone who goes against his religion in any way, as a result, he despises fornicators, blasphemers, and all members of the LGBT community.

Added DiffLines:

* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: He is the least creepy/threatening looking of the strangers. In the "Meet The Strangers" trailer, he is the only one who neither scowls, gives a creepy look, or twitches. Because he's one of the strangers though, he's almost certainly a bad guy.

Added DiffLines:

* AxCrazy: His animation in the "Meet The Strangers" trailer shows his right cheek twitching repeatedly, implying that he's violently insane. None of the other strangers did this, so he may very well be the least sane of them all.


Added DiffLines:

* ScaryBlackMan: He does not look very friendly at all in his "Meet The Strangers" trailer animation.

* AxCrazy

to:

* AxCrazyAxCrazy: He might be trying to hide it with his polite exterior, but he is very violent, being a serial child rapist/torturer/murderer. He is also deluded, believing that God will protect someone like him, and that, because it's in his nature to do what he does, God will not judge him for it. His craziness and violentness is fully brought out in his killing animation.


Added DiffLines:

* AffablyEvil/ FauxAffablyEvil: One or the other. He's called "The Gentleman", and his animation in the "Meet The Strangers" trailer shows him holding his arm out in a welcoming gesture. Whether or not he is genuinely polite is to be seen.

Added DiffLines:

* HateSink: Besides his creepily polite exterior, The Father is a SerialKiller, PedophilePriest, SerialRapist, has practiced ColdBloodedTorture on countless innocent little children, and a genocidal homophobe despite being a homosexual.

Added DiffLines:

[[folder:Elora]]
The player character, a beautiful and timid young woman whose car broke down in the middle of the night on her way to a job interview, forcing her to hitchhike.
----
*BrainyBrunette: Elora has brown hair, and is described as a bookish girl who got a 4.0 average in school, attended an Ivy League college, and was on her way to an important interview for her dream job before her car broke down.
*FeaturelessProtagonist: A very bizarre case. She has a set appearance, and despite WordOfGod describing her as a timid bookworm, all of her dialogue choices are optional and the player can't hear her voice, so she can either fulfill her canonical personality, or be a mindlessly belligerent, childish {{Jerkass}}.
*{{Jerkass}}: While canonically Elora is a quiet, bookish girl, some of the responses you can give the Strangers are hilariously offensive.
*ImmobilePlayerCharacter: Completely justified, as Elora is in a car for the majority of the game (you can still free-roam the highway once you're out, however).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Father]]
Donald Earl [=McArthur=], a creepy PedophilePriest who suspects Elora of being a "heathen", and constantly preaches her Bible-related topics whilst trying to subtly gut her.
----
*TheCameo: His website can be found on the Deep Web in ''WelcomeToTheGame''.
*FreudianExcuse: The Father was abandoned as a baby by his young mother and raised by priests, some of whom abused him sexually. It's stated he didn't even realize child molestation was wrong until he was well into adulthood, and it's likely this is the cause of his "itch" to molest children himself.
*PedophilePriest: The basis of his character.
*SerialKiller / SerialRapist: Admits to raping and murdering countless little children.
*SinisterMinister: While he is primarily a PedophilePriest, that won't stop him from babbling on about his religion to you as he drives.
*TheSociopath: It'd be hard to be a SerialKiller and SerialRapist of children and NOT be a sociopath.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Dungeon Master]]
Carol, an upcoming Stranger.
----
*BasementDweller: Clearly designed with this trope in mind.
*NiceHat: To cement his status as a neckbeard, he's hilariously topped with a cliche fedora.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Nympho]]
Lydia, an upcoming Stranger.
----
*PsychoLesbian: Judging by her nickname "The Nympho" and her mindset being "Lust", it's clear she would have unsavory things in store for Elora.
*ReallyGetsAround: Nymphomaniacs tend to do so.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Gentleman]]
Charles, an upcoming Stranger.
----
*SharpDressedMan: Outfitted with a snazzy black suit.
*TallDarkAndHandsome: His main trait.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Shidu]]
----
*OutlivingOnesOffspring: The sole thing known about this Stranger, thanks to their name.
