* BitchInSheepsClothing: It's implied that Serena and maybe even the narrator himself were this, being genuinely loving at first before showing their true colors. At the very least they both seem to have ended up being caught in a toxic relationship that may have devolved into outright DomesticAbuse as their resentment for the other grew.

* HappilyMarried: This seems to be the case for the couple at the beginning of the game. As more details come to light over the course of the story it seems like their actual relationship was a bit more complicated and unpleasant that it initially appeared.

* SpookyPainting: The cabin has some pretty disturbing artwork on the walls seemingly for the sole purpose of adding to the dark and moody atmosphere.
* SpookyPhotographs: The photograph of the protagonist and Serena on the table slowly changes over the course of the game to reflect the new information the player has unlocked about the protagonist's past.

* FryingPanOfDoom: The protagonist remarks that Serena once chucked a heavy frying pan at him during a fight and could have easily killed him with it. Given the bloodstain on the table and the corpse found in the closet at the end of the game... [[DeadAllAlong she actually might have killed him this way.]]
Added DiffLines:
* LethalChef: Apparently Serena wasn't that great a cook. Anything she made that wasn't overly spicy or completely bland tended to end up burnt.
Added DiffLines:
* RedHerring: At one point the player comes across a spare keyring in one of the drawers that definitely seems like it will eventually play a role in unlocking something. While it does prompt a few unique lines from the protagonist it ultimately goes unused as both the chest and lockbox can be opened without it and the player never gets the chance to actually leave the cabin at any point in the game.
