[[caption-width-right:350:The game's title screen.[[note]]The creator's anyways. You can customise the look of your Dave when playing.[[/note]]]]

* AbandonedLaboratory: The central theme of the Doom Facility level from the Bear County world, a laboratory testing human dreams that served as [[VideoGame/DoomyInTheRoomy Elizabeth]]'s prison for quite a while.

* TheMall: The theme of the Fall Mall level, a two-floored shopping mall with glowing lights and several stores to duck into.

* SlippySlideyIceWorld: The Moonlit Mountains world has a theme of a dark, snowy environment. All four maps are either snowy forests or winter lodges.

* TheComputerIsALyingBastard: Ol' Grizzlelips's encyclopedia contains more than a few tidbits of incorrect information, such as saying Dave can't hide from Grubbler[[note]]You can only not hide during him finding you, but hiding is what you need to do once he has[[/note]] or that the way to avoid Lumi's wrath is to stay quiet[[note]]Noise attracts Lumi to your general location, but she still relies on line of sight to chase you[[/note]].

''Dave.EXE'' is a 2020 stealth action horror game by Creator/DaveMicrowavesGames. The plot revolves around Dave, depicted as a human with a microwave for a head, under the employ of Berry, a large pink bear, to save the universe. This is achieved by traveling through timelines and collecting soda, while avoiding monsters. The game's main antagonist is Edgy Dave, a black-and-red demonic version of Dave. It should be noted the game is still in development and being actively updated.

Don't be seen to avoid her wrath[[/note]].

* RecycledSoundtrack: Beans's nearby theme is a pitched down version of his chase theme, which itself is a remix of a Spontaneous Bootay's boss theme from ''VideoGame/SouthParkTheFracturedButWhole''.

* CollectorOfTheStrange: Besides the coloured Berry tokens, the main objective in every level is to collect cans of soda from vending machines.

* EvilVsEvil: Implied to have happened offscreen. Principal of the Thing and Baldi both care very much about the schoolhouse, yet it has been completely taken over by Edgy Dave when you arrive.

* GovernmentAgencyofFiction: One of the killers is a member of the YFA (You're Fucked Agency), a government branch of mercenaries that hunt down tax evaders.
* HeroAntagonist: The YFA (You're Fucked Agency) member is one of the game's killers, but they're the opposite of evil. The YFA is a branch of the police that goes after people who have committed tax evasion or fraud.
