!! ''Sequester'' contains the following tropes:
* AlienGeometries: Each section of the dream world is essentially a hollow cube, and each screen represents a face of that cube. The results soon get really screwy, especially since you can still see all of those other faces in the background, in their geometrically correct location.
** When a face is rotated, its pools of water are rotated along with it, so you'll enter completely vertical waterlines.
* ArcWords: The starting point of each level past a few early ones will always bear a single quote from your sister's life inscribed in the background, whether said by her or by someone else, like her mother.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Your sister is finally free to move on, as it wasn't just her memories that kept her in that purgatory, but also your character's blind love for her and unwillingness to let her move on, which went so far that he stopped speaking once he found out about her death.]]
* BlackBugRoom: Rooms 4-1 to 5:1 represent various stages of this. Your sister outright responds to 4-3 with "I don't want to remember this! I buried it!" in a panicked voice.
** Subverted again in 5:2, as she finally says "There's nowhere else to go! Did I do it? Like, dump off all my baggage?". In the next level, she reacts with "It feels like my life got tangled up with someone else's".

->''Mom and Dad planned a surprise birthday party for me, but...I never turned up. They always used to chew me out for being late for things. I would find it kind of funny if I wasn't dead.''
** On the next few screens:
-> ''My boyfriend was supposed to get me to the party right? But we hit traffic. Literally. I died instantly. He cracked a rib. That was just like him, you know? So insensitive.''
** ''I kind of remember how my last gasp tasted. Like...Blood and breath mints.''
** ''I have been here for a year since the accident. So why are you here? Are you dead too? I doubt it, since you look as pretty as ever. Are you visiting?''
* ConvectionSchmonvection: There are lava pits in some levels, which kill instantly on contact, but don't affect you, nor anything else at a distance.
* DeathIsCheap: In the actual game, dying to the spikes or other hazards simply respawns you in your bed at the start of each room, which is at most 3 screens from where you died. It'll reset the puzzles too, of course, but this may occasionally be to your benefit.
* DeathIsTheOnlyOption: Not really death, since it's all a dream for your character, but [[spoiler: You have to plunge into the lava at the end of 5:6, as this "death" in the Dream world is the only thing that'll let her go to the afterlife.]]

* FlashOfPain: The brother will flash red whenever he hits the spikes or something else that kills him, and then the entire screen is immediately wiped with red as the room is reset.
* HardLight: Many levels have barriers of such light on
* HeroicMime: The protagonist. [[spoiler: It is actually part of the plot, as he literally lost speech after the death of his sister.]]
* IdleAnimation: Since the game "awakens" the little brother into the dream world, his idle animation is yawning, complete with a sound. This can happen even if you simply left him still to listen to what his sister is saying.
* IronicEcho: 4:3 has two arc quotes, and both are an echo of the preceding ones. [[spoiler: First, "Kiss your father goodbye, honey" in a CallBack to "Put Apples in the ground and say goodbye" in the previous . The second, "Mummy, but we don't touch dead things" is your sister repeating what your mother said when she found her embracing the dead rabbit.]]
* LavaPit: Present and lethal. See ConvectionSchmonvection above. However, they are relatively rare and not much of a hazard. Not until 5:6, when [[spoiler: you have to fall into one to progress into the Epilogue.]]
* MacroZone: Levels 4:4 and 5:2-5:4 are much larger than the levels before and after; they still take up the same part of the screen, but the protagonist is far smaller, and there are far more steps to go through. Those levels typically few of the conventional obstacles like spikes and ghosts, and are instead dominated by the large diagonals in their design, which block off the obvious paths, and force really creative movement.
* MentalWorld: The majority of the levels are those of your sister. By 5:2, however, she reacts with "There's nowhere else to go! Did I do it? Like, dump off all my baggage?" Then, it turns out that [[spoiler: it crosses into the mental world of her brother/your protagonist, as he subconsciously doesn't want to leave her.]]
* MissingDad: Level 4:3 reveals that [[spoiler: your sister's father died early in her childhood, and that you are actually her stepbrother.]]
* NoNameGiven: Since the dead sister is the narrator, she only ever calls the protagonist her little brother, and thus you never find out his name. She also has no reason to name herself to her brother, and so this trope applies to her as well. [[spoiler: until level 5:6, which has "FAITH" in the background, soon after the "you're my sister" message, implying that's what her name was.]]
