* BigBad: Dr. Zaine Grimm, CEO of Paragon Inc. While the player never meets him face to face, he's often mentioned in recordings, notes and newspaper articles [[spoiler:and is revealed to have masterminded everything that led to the events of the game; kidnapping of tourists to be used as test subjects for simulation of his capitalist utopia, bio-engineering that created the deadly living mascots of Burger Farm, and dropping the nuke on Durri-Jongo island.]]

* MythologyGag: Early demos of the game had a drivable car that the player could use to get to work and around the city, much like the original ''Burger Barn'' game. Later removed during said demo releases for various reasons, references to it remain in some ingame documents, with references made for its ability to smash the Burger Farm's windows (an antic common in several YouTuber playthroughs of the demo)

* BurgerFool: PlayedForHorror. You're a poor wagie slaving in a run-down fast-food restaurant haunted by [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]]... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and the hourly wage sucks]].

* WeaksauceWeakness: [[spoiler:The assets are {{Eldritch Abominations}}s that have massive kill counts of scientists and trained soldiers, but a few of these assets can be beaten by a hypnotized fast food employee cooking and feeding them fast food. Special mentions to Asset Peter, who is fed three rotten burgers, which blows a massive hole in his stomach]].

In the game the player has just been hired as the night-shift manager at Happy's Humble Burger Farm, a fast-food restaurant in the middle of a haunted wood. The player must work to take orders, prepare and cook the food, and then serve it. If the player messes up too much the creatures that haunt the woods will enter the restaurant and begin to haunt it, and the player must find a way to drive the creatures away. At the end of their shift every day, the player must also find a way to leave the restaurant and get home safely.

COWS: ALL YOUR BURGER ARE BELONG TO US.\\

* BurgerFool: Played for Horror. You're a poor wagie slaving in a run-down fast-food restaurant haunted by {{EldritchAbomination}}s... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and the hourly wage sucks]].

[[VideoGame/{{Pokemon}} Petey used patty bomb...it's super effective!]]\\

* BurgerFool: Played for Horror. You're a poor wagie slaving in a run-down fast-food restaurant haunted by EldritchAbominations... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and the hourly wage sucks]].

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodSandwich: Cranked UpToEleven in this game. Just consider ALL that food you have to cook and ALL those beverages you have to pour while working at Happy's. [[spoiler:It's all being purchased by a mob of automatons who aren't even human enough to actually consume any of it.]]

* ActionBomb: Mannequins will slowly lurch towards you and explode if they get close enough. They will knock away any ingredients you have cooking at a prep station or grill.

* BerserkButton: Happy thinks of herself as the boss of the restaurant, and unfortunately for the player, [[BadBoss she's a pretty abusive one]] who gets extremely angry if employees don't take their job seriously. Be late for work and she'll drag you there, and screw up during a shift will have her chase you with murderous intent.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The protagonist regains his memories as IntrepidReporter Ryder and escapes, ready to tell the world what Obscura Biotech has been doing, but Happy has also escaped and is likely to menace the world.]]
* CerebusSyndrome: The in-universe Happy-cartoon started off as just a regular Saturday-morning kids' show, bringing the population a bit of much needed levity after the Scythean War. Until series creator Tex decided to end the series by having the main antagonist gruesomely butcher Happy and her friends, seemingly following the wishes of his son Chuck who was set to take over the series after his retirement. Chuck then proceeded to make his own reboot of the show as dark and experimental as possible, with the target audience being teens and adults rather than children, and yet it might still be a hit with children that see the deeper meaning.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Even the amoral Obscura researchers knew that trying to contain the mascot monsters was a bad idea. Unfortunately, they couldn't exactly refuse as the order to contain them came from Dr. Grimm himself.]]
* EvilInc: Paragon Inc., or more precisely Obscura Biotech, falls straight into this trope; some of the posters and notes found through the game reveal that their end goal is to create a corporate monopoly where "free thought" becomes "taxed thought", world governments would answer directly to them, and working class is conditioned into complacency and obedience towards their corporate masters. [[spoiler:And then there's the fact they were kidnapping tourists to be used in experiments to create previously mentioned "capitalist utopia" by implanting compliance chips into their heads (which would eventually errode their mental faculties, as visible by the condition of the protagonist's coworker), dabbled in horrific biological experiments in order to create beings called "Assets" (a fusion of organism and the Burger Farm mascots)...even their own staff wasn't safe. One of the tapes found in the game reveals that any staff members killed by one of these "Assets" had all records of their employment at Obscura wiped clean as if they never existed, and not even their families were informed of their demise. The staff was also heavily regulated and monitored, being forbidden from discussing certain topics or even consuming specific media.]]

* TorsoWithAView: [[spoiler:After you're done feeding asset Pete, three rotten burgers his stomach suddenly blows up revealing a massive hole you can walk through to see a room behind him]].
* WeaksauceWeakness: [[spoiler:The assets are {{Eldritch Abominations}}s that have massive kill counts of scientists and trained soldiers, but a few of these assets can be beaten by a hypnotized fast food employee cooking and feeding them fast food. Special mentions to Pete who is fed three rotten burgers and suddenly that blows a massive hole in his stomach]].

[[VideoGame/Portal The burger is a lie.]]\\

[[VideoGame/ResidentEvil You were almost a Happy sandwich!]]

* TorsoWithAView: [[spoiler:After your done feeding asset Pete, three rotten burgers his stomach suddenly blows up revealing a massive hole you can walk through to see a room behind him]].

[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim I used to be a chef like you, until I took a burger to the knee.]]

* WeaksauceWeakness: [[spoiler:The assets are abominations that have massive kill counts of scientists and trained soldiers, but a fast food employee cooking and feeding them three rotten hamburgers is enough to put them out of commission.]]

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Dr. Grimm started out as this, looking into simulation research and behavioral conditioning in order to keep another war from breaking out on Scythe. Key word is ''started out''. His intentions became more sinister and less benevolent after partnering with Obscura Biotech.

* AdmiringTheAbomination: [[spoiler:Dr. Grimm became fascinated with the monstrous mascots and ordered his researchers to contain and study them. Predictably, the death toll skyrocketed until Dr. Grimm finally realized that the task he ordered was impossible to achieve and had them all sealed away.]]

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: As stated above, Dr. Grimm as the CEO of Paragon Inc. falls straight into this. He has set his sights on turning the entire world into an ultra-capitalist, borderline fascist "utopia" where people are conditioned through AugmentedReality to become obedient consumers, and world governments would answer to him.

* WeaksauceWeakness: [[spoiler:The assets are abominations that have massive kill counts of scientists and trained soldiers, but a fast food employee cooking and feeding them three rotten hamburgers is enough to put them out of commission.]]

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Toe, protagonist's next-door neighbor and co-worker is this with a dash of {{Manchild}}. He runs to and from work with his arms in front as if he's driving a car, cannot form even simple words beyond mumbling, and his apartment is full of Burger Farm collectibles and big cardboard cutouts of BF mascots. [[spoiler:If you listen to the tape in his apartment, it's revealed that he wasn't always like this. Vic explains that Obscura Biotech's compliance chip that was surgically implanted in him was the culprit, as it causes degradation of an individual's mental faculties over time.]]
