30 | !!Porpentine's work includes examples of: |
31 | %%* AcidTripDimension |

33 | * AuthorAppeal: Slime, lesbian and gay male relationships, BDSM, {{Shout Out}}s to older video games, and UsefulNotes/{{Zoroastrianism}}. |
34 | %%* BizarreAlienBiology |
35 | * BodyHorror: Porpentine delights in uncomfortable bodily imagery: ''With Those We Love Alive'' involves making an object with your blood, bone, or skin, in ''Cyberqueen'' the protagonist is mutilated and made into a cyborg type being by the ship. |
36 | * CrapsackWorld: It's rare that the world in a Porpentine game is portrayed positively. Everything is broken, polluted, and oppressed. |
37 | %%* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: |
38 | %%* CyberPunk |
39 | %%* {{Cyborg}} |
40 | * {{Dystopia}}: ''With Those We Love Alive'' takes place in a ruined, polluted world ruled with an iron fist by a hideous monster -- who you have the misfortune to be employed by as an artist. |
41 | * FantasticDrug: A mysterious green substance mixed with a material called melter makes the protagonist of ''With Those We Love Alive'' and Sedina have a drugged night involving hugging furniture, running through and becoming one with the grass, and seeing the inside of your 'weird psychic meat shit.' |
42 | %%* FeministFantasy |
43 | %%* GreyAndGrayMorality |
44 | * HiveQueen: Ichne in ''Vesp,'' of the "pheromone control" variety. |
45 | * ImprobablyFemaleCast: In their earlier work, you'd be hard-pressed to find a single character who is unambiguously a man. However, as if the 2020s, several of their major works have male protagonists. |
46 | * InteractiveFiction: Most of their games are made in Twine and are text-based adventures. |
47 | * TheKingslayer: Towards the end of ''With Those We Love Alive'', [[spoiler:Sedina tries to assassinate the empress.]] |
48 | * LoveTriangle: One features in ''Vesp'': Diopa Guyander has to decide between her therapist Chelica Setay and her provider Ichne Famescori. |
49 | * MegaCorp: You work for one in the game-within-a-game of ''Ultra Business Tycoon III''. |
50 | %%* MindScrew |
51 | * OrangeBlueContrast: Sets the mood for a few screens in ''Vesp''. Interestingly, the game leans more on their nature as complementary colors. Both are linked to what the game sees as GaiasLament: the orange comes from the smog in the sky, while the blue is due all the bug zapper lights. |
52 | * SlimeGirl: Porpentine's self-imagery. A slime kid also appears in ''With Those We Love Alive'' and the protagonist can spend time with her. |
53 | %%* SurrealHumour |
54 | * TranshumanTreachery: The main character of ''Vesp'' feels that humanity has little to offer her and desires to be a wasp. [[spoiler:She helps Ichne orchestrate a wasp gathering that consumes a section of the city for a while]]. |
55 | * UnwillingRoboticisation: Notably in ''Cyberqueen.'' |
56 | %%* WretchedHive |
