* DarkWorld: The nightmare world sections. Whether or not they take place in "reality" or are some sort of illusion or hallucination is left murky for quite a while.

* TheDogWasTheMastermind: [[spoiler: Forrest Kaysen, the giddy tree salesman, is actually some sort of otherworldy demonic entity that's been literally planting seeds of chaos through Greenvale. Also, this is done literally with Kaysen's dog, who has been relaying orders to his "owner" from the Red World, a kind of alternate, hellish dimension. ''Seriously.'']]

* AlienSky: The town sports one whenever enemies are about.

* TheDogWasTheMastermind: Done a grand total of [[spoiler: ''4'']] times. [[spoiler: First there's Thomas, the unassuming, effeminate policeman, then George Woodman the Sheriff, then Forrest Kaysen, the giddy tree salesman, and then done literally with Kaysen's dog, who has been relaying orders to him from the Red World, a kind of alternate, hellish dimension. ''Seriously.'']]

* BigBad: [[spoiler: George Woodman, the man responsible for Greenvale's murders]].

* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:There's actually a chain of those, going around like this: Forrest Kaysen <- Willie <- The Red Tree. The military is also involved somewhere in-between.]]

* BigBad: [[spoiler: Forrest Kaysen]].
** BiggerBad: [[spoiler:Willie, who relays to Kaysen the orders of the game's biggest bad, the Red Tree]].

* RoleReprisal: [[spoiler: Jeff Kramer]] reprises his role as [[spoiler: York and Zach/Old Zach]] in the Directors Cut.

* {{Bookends}}: George introduces himself to York at the beginning of the game with the words "Welcome to Greenvale". [[spoiler: In George's final scene late in the game, York confronts him after exposing him as the killer and he greets York with the words "WELCOME TO GREENVALE! AGENT FRANCIS YORK MORGAN!"]]

* MisaimedRealism: Your car can actually run out of gas and you have to fill it back up, yet during certain missions and checkpoint races, your car becomes invincible and has unlimited fuel, which makes you wonder why the developers bothered implementing such a pointless mechanic. It's possibly an excuse for more sidequests when it comes down to it.

* FailedASpotCheck: You can visit [[spoiler: the back of the graveyard]] all you like, but York somehow never notices the there are red seeds strewn all about the place until the plot tells him to go there.
