!! This game provides examples of:
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Sidonius]] in the first game; see also WellIntentionedExtremist.
* DummiedOut: An InUniverse element actually; game characters like to spend their free time in the dummied-out game rooms because the players won't disturb them there.
* FictionalDisability: In her cancelled game, Thalia was to have a rare disease which causes her to temporarily switch identities with the nearest living organism with a central nervous system. The disease actually appears in ''Welcome to the Genre'', but Thalia manages to gain control of it, making it a DisabilitySuperpower.
** Also, Sidonius is allergic to low-res EGA.
* ObviouslyEvil: [[spoiler:Jean-Eric [=LeMort=]]] in the third game was specifically designed to be as much of a stereotypical villain as possible. [[MeaningfulName The fact that his first name sounds very similar to "Generic" is not accidental]].
* RedHerring: [[spoiler: Sidonius, the antagonist of the first game, is initially blamed for the events of the third one. It turns out he's innocent this time, but the real bad guy, Jean-Eric [=LeMort=], used Sidonius' device for his own evil plans.]]
* ShoutOut: A whole lot of them:
** The character of Thalia was inspired by Queen Valanice from ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'', and the scene where she catches a jackalope references a similar puzzle from ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVIIThePrincelessBride'' where Valanice has to do the same.
** The light blue book in Thalia's room is actually ''The Eyre Affair'', the first book in Thursday Next series.
* ShowWithinAShow: Though most of the adventure games mentioned in the plot are real, the storyline also involves some of them that do not exist in real life:
** Thalia's boss Tlotzin is a character from an unreleased game about Aztec mythology.
** Her lizard friend and colleague Ichabod is from an unmade edutainment game ''Ichabod's Island Adventure''.
** Another friend of Thalia, Suzy-Ann Alva, was to be the protagonist of a cancelled edutainment game for girls. [[spoiler: In the third installment, ''Welcome to the Genre'', her game finally gets made.]]
** Her another colleague Sidonius is from an unreleased fantasy adventure.
** There is also [[HalfWittedHillbilly an episodic character Clem]], from the unreleased "the most offensive adventure game ever", which would have been about his quest [[KissingCousins to marry a girl who is also his cousin]]. In the second installment ''All In The Game'', Thalia actually gets to visit "the offensive game".
* SpacePolice: Thalia James was to be a space police officer in her own unreleased game. In ''this'' game, she is also a police officer, but of a different sort.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: Sidonius in the first game. He steals items and characters from adventure games, hoping that the players would eventually notice that. The video game companies would therefore be forced to make new adventure games, leading to a renaissance of the genre.]]
* WholePlotReference: To Creator/JasperFforde's Literature/ThursdayNext series. Basically it's the same story, just with adventure games instead of books.
