* DarkIsEvil: The main antagonist that follows Gris and tries to devour her are a bunch of black butterflies, which turn into a black bird, then a black eel[[spoiler:, and finally a black version of Gris herself]]. Subverted if one interprets a key climactic scene of Gris being swallowed up by the darkness as her embracing the validity of her own sorrow.

** The gray level [[spoiler:represents Denial. The world is colorless save for gray, white, and black, showing how the death of Gris' mother robbed her of her desire to live and made her unable to enjoy the things she (and her mother) used to do. Gris herself spends the beginning of the level in an apathetic depression after her mother's statue crumbles away, which translates to walking listlessly and being unable to jump for a while.]]
** The red level [[spoiler:represents Anger. The world becomes a blood-red desert plagued by [[GustyGlade constant sandstorms]], and if Gris doesn't get to shelter in time, she'll be blown back by a distance until the sandstorm ends. This represents Gris' own anger towards her mother's death and how it makes her irrational. Fittingly, the level is where Gris gains the "[[GroundPound Block]]" ability, and if used to destroy various statues scattered acrosss the level, the player gets the achievement titled "Anger". The Block ability also makes Gris resistant to the sandstorms, referring to the process of overcoming one's anger.]]
** The green level [[spoiler:represents Bargaining. The world becomes a lush forest full of life, and Gris starts opening up enough to interact with others. At one point, Gris encounters and befriends an apple-loving spirit by feeding it apples, which the spirit repays by helping her in her quest. She also encounters and defeats the Darkness (taking the form of a giant black bird) when it attacks her. Sadly, her actions do not change that her mother still died -- players can gain the "Bargaining" achievement by having Gris sing to a statue of her mother, and only for her to still gasp weakly.]]
** The blue level [[spoiler:represents Depression. Gris ends up traveling to the underwater caverns where it gets darker the further down she swims. To get to the deepest, darkest parts of the level, she has to be guided by a giant turtle. Then she is attacked by the Darkness, which takes form here as a giant black eel that tries to eat her during her lowest emotional point. Towards the end of the level, it nearly succeeds, [[BigDamnHeroes only for Gris to be saved by the turtle she encountered earlier]].

The world appears as a palace-like world filled with lush plants and exotic birds, but it's not quite healed yet as many flowers are not fully bloomed. It also has a topsy-turvy environment, representing the process of learning that life has its metaphorical ups and downs.
