Katherine, the protagonist, is the star of the puppet theater, drawing in crowds of adoring fans. But time catches up with her and when she's worn, she's cast into the basement and replaced by a new singer. But unlike the other puppets who gets disposed, Katherine's ego is strong. She breaks the strings that once controlled her and refashions them into a makeshift weapon. Her goal is simple: regain her place in the spotlights.

* EnfantTerrible: The humongous monstrosity that serves as the game's one boss is, in fact, a puppet baby. He has a baby-like face, a pacifier hanging from his neck, a diaper-like construction below his waist, and a stuffed bunny head on his shoulder (though fairly speaking he also has a gramophone on his back). It would also explain why the substitute is horrified when he gets injured...

* ClockTower: The final puzzle before the boss room is a large clock; not so much a tower, but Katherine still has to reach an opening into it that is located higher than she can jump.
* TheDogBitesBack: The premise of the game, with Katherine being the dog. She used to be the star of the theater, but was unceremoniously dumped and replaced when age got to her. Expectedly, she doesn't take kindly to it. Unexpectedly, she has the means to get back up and bite.
* HumanResources: It is the one thing in the entire game that gives Katherine pause, if only for a moment. Just before leaving the abyss, a part below the theater even more abandoned than the basement, she enters the furnace, where the remains of her discarded wooden coworkers are used to fuel the theater. This shocks her, but ultimately she lets it be to return to the stage the theater affords her.

* KnowsTheRopes: Katherine's sole weapon is thread and needles. The thread is made from her old strings and the needles she collected in teh basement.the basement. For the most part, she wields it as a tool to manipulate the environment. This is accomplished by throwing one needle to an object to be manipulated and another to an anchor point (or vice versa, or both; the game only does not allow two anchor points to be selected for one set of needles). The two needles are connected by the thread, which Katherine can make pull tight. The more threads (up to four) and the longer the threads, the more power behind the pull. When it comes to combat, Katherine uses the same strategy to pull body parts off or out of her opponents.

Her SlasherSmile is her own addition.

* TheDiva: Katherine and her substitute are both this and with only one stage that means one of them has to go. Preferably dead or completely broken.
* KilledMidSentence: Not killed yet, but the substitute ends up taunting and insulting Katherine. To shut her up, Katherine gets one needle on her and one on the ceiling, ripping her from the stage.

However, it does mean she spends the boss fight "hanging around", able to do little more than shout threats to Katherine and instructions to her minion.
