* BlackAndGrayMorality: The vaguely-positive characters are: a robot who (although with good intention) cables people into a LotusEaterMachine, a little girl who mocks the robot constantly, a little boy who wants to free the mind of people by violently ripping them out of the System, causing them to go mad, and a man having random fits of rage who chooses to go back into the System to keep everyone safe from himself. Mama is ''much'' worse.

* AfterTheEnd: Natch. Mama mentions a "global nuclear power war" as the cause of it all.
* AntiHero: Felix wants to free people from the System, but he's perfectly content with Skinny reconnecting them if they bother him too much.
* BigBad: Mama.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Giant spiders that steal your batteries.
* [[spoiler:BolivianArmyEnding: The game ends with Skinny entering Mama's lair to confront her. We never see how it goes.]]
* CrapsackWorld: The world is a desolate mishmash of ruined buildings, only populated by vicious mutant spiders, people cabled up to [[LotusEaterMachine The System,]] a few runaway children and of course, the omnipresent [[EvilMatriarch Mama.]]
* DeusEstMachina: Suggested with Mama. [[spoiler:Likely untrue, as Felix mentions her also having a System chair, implying she might also be human.]]

* [[spoiler:HeelFaceTurn: Skinny.]]
* ImAHumanitarian: Apparently, this is one of the effects stemming from withdrawal from the System. One of the "little-ones" threatens Skinny with eating him before getting reconnected to the System, and Blake mentions that he attempted to bite Felix's head off in a fit of rage.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Shirley gives Skinny a deriding nickname and reminds him constantly how creepy and scary he looks. Still, she relays a lot of useful information to him [[spoiler:and ultimately motivates him to perform a HeelFaceTurn]].
* JerkassWoobie: Almost everyone who has been disconnected from the System. The exceptions are those who have [[GoMadFromTheRevelation gone completely nuts,]] [[HeroicMime Skinny]] and Blake.
* MinimalistCast
* TheNicknamer: Shirley nicknames Skinny "Skinny Knees".
* NotHimself: Pick any of the "little-ones".
** This is also the reason Blake wants to go back into the System.
* WhamLine: Felix delivers one near the end.
