6!!Discovery contains examples of the following tropes:
7* AGodAmI: The priests will begin to do this at some point in the story.
8* ApocalypseHow: [[ApocalypseHow/ClassX4 ClassX-4]]. Pressing Z, the final command, results in all of reality disappearing in an instant.
9* BoltOfDivineRetribution: The player must use lightning to strike out the lights in cities (to scare and punish mankind) at some point in the game.
10* CreationMyth: The first parts of the story play out this way.
11* DownerEnding: The story ends with the protagonist deciding to wipe out all of existence and eventually killing itself out of the resulting loneliness.
12* ElementalPowers: The protagonist has the ability to summon lightning, fire, and has the ability to create hurricanes, snowstorms, and rainstorms.
13* EnergyBeing: The protagonist is described as a "bright point of light" at the beginning.
14* GodInHumanForm: In a later part of the game, the protagonist incarnates as a human to see the world from a grounded perspective.
15* TheNameless: The protagonist of the game has no name.
16* OneWordTitle: Presumably about how the player is discovering 26 different powers of control over the world as they play.
17* ThePowerOfCreation: Most powers involve making things (animals, houses, trees, stones, and even reality itself) out of thin air.
18* RealityWarper: The Player Character.
19* SandboxMode: After finishing the story you unlock freeform mode, which lets you use all the powers freely and has no narration.
20* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Sort of a given with the kill, hurricane, thunder and fire powers.
