History VideoGame / DoubleCross

* BareYourMidriff: "Rogue" Zahra, unlike her protagonist counterpart, has her stomach exposed.

** [[spoiler: Deconstructed over the course of the game. The fact that preventing interference with[[CrapsackWorld the less lucky parts of the multiverse]] has allowed a huge amount of preventable suffering to continue is repeatedly mentioned, and revenge for being left to suffer when RIFT could have easily helped is Suspect X's primary motivation. In the end, this rule is loosened if not removed, with RIFT reformed to allow humanitarian intervention in the worst parts of the multiverse.]]

* TheReptilians: Reptarria is a dimension where the dinosaurs never went extinct, though a recent cataclysm has devastated the lands.

* WalkTheEarth: More like "Walk the Earths," but [[spoiler: Rogue Zahra states that she plans to do this during the ending, after politely declining Zahra's offer to become a RIFT agent.]]

* VoiceWithAnInternetConnection: Skip Hollister, Zahra's handler.

* BurnTheWitch: Director Sorgina DeLabourde very narrowly escaped this fate in her backstory. She accidentally entered a portal to a backwards Earth (think the Salem Witch Trials) that thought she was a witch (she resembles a vampire/demon) and tried to burn her at the stake, and was saved by a RIFT agent. This is why she's a massive stickler for the rules.

* LadyOfWar: Helena, RIFT's prison warden. Decked to the gills with various weapons, and always calls Zahra "Lady Zahra"

** Ripjaw submits a request to RIFT to transfer the remaining Reptarrians to other habitable yet uninhabited worlds, as while he's a violent warlord and weapons dealer he does seem to want the best for Reptarria. Director DeLabourde turns his request down, to his anger.

* EvilTwin: A doppelganger of Zahra from another dimension repeatedly pops up to antagonize her, though she claims to be unconnected to Suspect X. [[spoiler:It turns out her world was destroyed by Suspect X as a test of their RIFT-destroying superweapon, and was too similar to RIFT's world for them to try to help, leading her to hate both the agency and Suspect X.]]

* Foreshadowing: There are plenty of hints about Suspect X's identity and other things to come. [[spoiler:Rouge Zahra's plan to infiltrate RIFT is also hinted at during the third meeting with her]] just like the events of the Stinger if you listen to what the BigBad is saying during his rant in the final battle.

Zahra Sinclair is an agent of R.I.F.T., an organization that keeps peace throughout the multiverse. A recent attack on headquarters thrusts players into a thrilling new case where they must use their R.I.F.T. developed gear to sling, swing, fight and investigate across distinct dimensions, gathering clues to bring themselves one step closer to finding the identity of the attacker and save every variation of the universe.

* AlienNonInterferenceClause: Due to a risk of instability, R.I.F.T. does not allow interactions with Earths too similar to their own.

* DrivingQuestion: Who is Suspect X, the masked mastermind that bypassed R.I.F.T.'s security and stole dangerous material? [[spoiler:It's Dash Sterling, working with a doppelganger that suffered similar loss.]]
* EvilTwin: A doppelganger of Zahra from another dimension repeatedly pops up to antagonize her, though she claims to be unconnected to Suspect X. [[spoiler:It turns out her world was destroyed by Suspect X as a test of their R.I.F.T.-destroying superweapon, and was too similar to R.I.F.T.'s world for them to try to help, leading her to hate both the agency and Suspect X.]]
* FunWithAcronyms: R.I.F.T., which stands for "Regulators of Interdimensional Frontiers and Technology".
* GrapplingHookPistol: Zahra is using a future tech version of one to traverse various obstacles and reach otherwise impossible spots.

* HubWorld: R.I.F.T. HQ, from which Zahra can search for clues in parallel worlds Gootopia, the Funderdome, and Reptarria.

* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Dash Sterling's wife & son both died from an illness that could have been cured with medicine from a very similar dimension, [[AlienNonInterferenceClause had R.I.F.T. allowed it]].]]
* TheMole: It's suspected that Suspect X is this, as R.I.F.T.'s security is top-notch. [[spoiler:Dr. Freya Gronnalva is not Suspect X, but is working with them.]]
* RedHerring: Initially, all the evidence points to [[spoiler:Skip]], but they turn out to be innocent.

* TheStinger: [[spoiler:Turns out there are a ''lot'' more than two Dash Sterlings working to take down R.I.F.T...]]
* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler:Zahra admits that, while Suspect X's revenge is taking it too far, R.I.F.T.'s AlienNonInterferenceClause has caused more danger than prevented. Even the administration admits it.]]

* OneHitWonder: While you have a health bar, you can turn it off with the Glass Canon upgrade. Defeating the final boss with it is even an archievement. [[spoiler: You can still use the upgrade that gives you a regenerating shield on top of that to take at least one or two hits.]]

* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Dash Sterling's wife & son both died from an illness that could have been cured with medicine from a very similar dimension, [[AlienNonInterferenceClause had R.I.F.T. allowed it]].

* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Dash Sterling's wife & son both died from an illness that could have been cured with medicine from a very similar dimension, [[AlienNonInterferenceClause had R.I.F.T. allowed it]].]]
