* AdultFear: [[spoiler: Your child running away from home, as well as then watching you blindly crash into another person and seeing the both of you die.]]
* AwfulTruth: [[spoiler: Cat's parents, her unborn twin brothers, and a blind person and their dog that Cat befriended, were all killed as an indirect result of her running away.]]
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Cat learns the truth of her past, and is in doing so forced to relive it, but also manages to forgive herself for what happened and move on.]]
* CallBack: Cat tells the stray cat she encounters [[spoiler: exactly what Adult Cat tells Young Cat in the beginning of the game.]]
** [[spoiler: Cat tells the blind character who acts as your save point that they must hold still in order to take a clear photo. When they take another photograph, they repeat the phrase "Hold st...still." They're not talking to the protagonist, they're reminding themselves!]]
* CharacterTitle: Zig-zagged; [[spoiler: the title refers to the protagonist, whose name is Cat, running away from home and crossing the street right before her parents crashed their car. It also refers to a literal cat, which the blind person Cat encounters is looking for, and who is the reason Cat crosses the street at all.]]
* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:The car that nearly hits the protagonist and Cat in the beginning.]]
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: There is a great deal of dead fetus imagery in the first portion of the game, [[spoiler: because Cat's twin brothers died along with their mother before they were born.]]
* DyeHard: [[spoiler: Adult Cat seems to have dyed and cut her hair.]]
* EldritchLocation: The house.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: [[spoiler: The car that drives by in the beginning and almost hits Cat and the protagonist in the beginning is the car that Cat's parents were driving when they were killed.]]
* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler: Cat's parents. Zig-zagged in that this comes from the perspective of a child, and Cat's mother was expecting twins, likely causing the father to spend more time at work and the mother to spend more time preparing for their birth.]]
* TheRunaway: Cat.
* TheStinger: [[spoiler: Cat runs down the street, passing figures from the house as she goes, only to encounter the burning car of her parents.]]
