[[labelnote:To be honest, that twitter-sized description doesn't tell you much]].: S&S is a GenreBusting, uniquely styled game that uses the mouse or touchscreen exclusively to explore a world full of music, magic, and twitter-sized narration. On your surreal 8-bit adventure you'll solve a variety of musical/environmental puzzles, fight super-rhythmic monsters, and shift back and forth between the real world and the world of dreams. An award-winning soundtrack by Jim Guthrie is fully embedded in the game; you're not just listening, you're interacting.[[/labelnote]]

* [[TheAllConcealingI The All Concealing We]]: The narrator always uses first-person plurals, which makes it somewhat difficult to tell who the narrator is, and even harder to find who s/he is addressing. The ending implies that the narrator is the Scythian, speaking about herself and the player. Never mind that while reading her own thoughts she catches herself speaking first-person singular and reverts back to plural.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: In order to get the Moon Key, you have to chase down [[spoiler:the Grizzled Boor in the dreamworld,]] corner him in a tree, and beat him into submission. Then you have the option of executing him while he is unarmed, beaten and gravely injured (you get the moon key either way). It comes across as a particularly Jerkass move considering the creature does nothing to threaten you(or anyone else), spends most of it's time doing a weird little dance, will actively run away from you when you get too close, and only draws a weapon when you corner and attack it. You can also [[spoiler:murder rabbits by making them explode]], which you derive absolutely no benefit from.

* AntiPoopSocking: The player is encouraged to take a break between [[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming sessions]], and obtaining the latter two Trigons [[spoiler:takes at least two weeks because they can only be found during the new and full moon. You're free to mess with your computer/phone's calendar, but the game will never allow you to achieve OneHundredPercentCompletion and, if on a computer, [[NoFairCheating you'll get a Steam achievement so all your friends can know you cheated]]. Though if you do a little more exploring, there is a faster way that's still legit.]].
