* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Ted. Most of the game is him coming to terms with, and making up for, the fact that he accidentally killed himself and Bo.]]



* DeathOfAChild: [[spoiler:Bo died at the age of three, before the story even began. Worse, the accident that killed her was Ted's fault.]]



* DrowningMySorrows: [[spoiler:It's implied that Ted became an alcoholic after his wife passed away]].



* EvilIsPetty: Pinstripe sure does spend a lot of time and energy taunting Ted and insulting him every chance he gets. [[spoiler:Justified, since Pinstripe is heavily implied to be the manifestation of Ted's own inner demons.]]



* InfantImmortality: [[spoiler:Averted. Bo died at the age of three, before the story even began.]]


Added DiffLines:

* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler:Although Ted is clearly a better choice than Pinstripe, and genuinely remorseful about his mistakes, Pinstripe is not wrong when he calls Ted out for being a poor parent. Ted loves Bo deeply, but his alcoholism got them both killed. Most of Ted's arc is owning up to this and forgiving himself.]]


Added DiffLines:

* RedemptionQuest: [[spoiler:The entire game is revealed to be one for Ted. His journey helps him atone for the fact that his drunk driving killed himself and his daughter.]]


Added DiffLines:

* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:The story ends with Ted entering Heaven with his wife and child.]]


Added DiffLines:

* VideoGameCaringPotential: You can be a sweet, friendly guy to everyone you meet. There's even an achievement for it.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: On the other hand, you can also be a big jerk for no reason. Again, there's an achievement for this.
