.Vee Is Calling provides examples of:
- Brainy Brunette: Vee is brunette and a computer scientist.
- Dating Service Disaster: You and Vee met online, but all she wants is to steal the files from your computer.
- Featureless Protagonist: The only thing confirmed about the player character is that they're a graphic designer; everything else is ambiguous.

- Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: Is Vee an AI, or just a really good hacker? She says she's physically incapable of making art, is inside all the time on her computer, and video feed is covered in visual glitches by the end, but the game never confirms one way or the other.
