Added DiffLines:

* IdyllicEnglishVillage: The game is set in the peaceful town of Yaughton (located in the county of Shropshire in the West Midlands). However, it's become a little more peaceful than usual as the entire population has inexplicably vanished, leaving the player to explore the abandoned town and uncover the story behind this mass disappearance. As such, the usual picturesque staples of the country town are here played for DaylightHorror as the [[ApocalypseHow apocalyptic circumstances]] of the story gradually become apparent.

* NomDeMom: A subtle one. Stephen and his uncle Frank are both Appletons, but Frank is his maternal uncle, and his mother is Wendy Boyles. Ordinarily, Frank and Stephen would have different surnames. But there's a rock at the Appleton farm where couples carved their names in youth - including Stephen and Lizzie, Frank and Mary, and W.A. and E.B. - most probably Wendy Appleton and an E. Boyles. Which means Stephen has purposefully taken his mother's maiden name, despite the fact that even she doesn't use it.

* HeadacheOfDoom: Headaches are among the earliest symptoms experienced by those affected by the Pattern, followed swiftly by nosebleeds, disorientation, and finally disintegration into light. This initially allows the government to claim that there's a flu epidemic in the region, justifying the quarantine of Yaughton - though later symptoms debunk this excuse. Eventually, the headaches grow so severe that Dr Wade initially suspects that he's suffering from a rapidly-expanding brain tumour, up until he notices the "liquid light" in his blood.
