22	* EarnYourHappyEnding: Implied to be what Mr. Simple's experiment on Rick is for, throughout the series.
23	* FilmNoir
24	* GainaxEnding: The fifth game's ending comes out of nowhere. [[spoiler: Solving the last puzzle results in the box activating, then Rick finds Lily back at the Cafe where she left him, soon followed by a happy marriage and Christmas together. But then Rick's final monologue reads, "We lived happily ever after...[[{{Cliffhanger}} For a while.]]", capped off with a transmission from Mr. Simple reading, "Hope you enjoy my little gift."]]
25	* GoBackToTheSource: In episode 5, [[spoiler: Rick decides not to go back into the lab of puzzle rooms to find Lily, but instead intends to travel back to the point in time before she left Rick. Then the box activates with puzzles of its own inside.]]
26	* GratuitousGerman: A sign in episode 4 reads "Nein Ausgang", which Rick translates as "No Way Out", when, in fact, it translates as "No, Exit" (particle and noun, respectively). "No way out" in proper German would be "Kein Ausgang" instead.
27	* GrayRainOfDepression: The entire series takes place during a depressing rainstorm, and by the 5th game, it turns into snow.
28	* HardboiledDetective: Rick certainly looks the part, what with trenchcoat and fedora, but his occupation never really gets named in any of the games..
29	%% * HellHotel: A one-room hotel hiding a massive research laboratory.
30	* TheLostLenore: Lily to Rick.
31	%% * MadScientist:
32	%% * MindScrew:
33	%% * PowerOfLove: Apparently, it helps to activate the box.
34	* NothingIsScarier: The last episode plays one of Hania Zdunek's songs only once, followed by a continuous loop of low, ominous piano notes that take up the rest of the game.
35	* PuzzleGame: Especially the later episodes consist mostly of empty rooms where Rick has to solve a puzzle to unlock the door leading to the next empty room with a puzzle.
36	%% * PrivateEyeMonologue: Throughout the entire series.
37	* [[spoiler:ParallelUniverse: The box is controlled using "nova digits", which Rick discovers, by episode 4, are coordinates to parallel universes. One scientist had [[CouldntFindAPen scrawled "WRONG NUMBERS" on a wall]] when the alternate Ricks appeared.]]
38	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: "Nothing answers a complicated question quite like simple money".
39	* [[spoiler:TimeTravel: According to the scientist, Rick has, in the future, used the box to travel back in time and ram a car into the building where his past self was still solving puzzles.]]
40	* WhatAreRecords: Inverted. In chapter 3, Rick thinks a computer in one room is a "futuristic typewriter".
41	* YouAreNumberSix: The Rick you play as is number 237, and another one from the future identifies as number 297.
