* PortTown: Sashimi Bay. An island populated by snail-people who used to base their economy around whaling before they were forced to quit by environmentalists.

* {{Putto}}: Cherubs are fat, repulsive little angels that demons can purchase at the grocery store and are used as pets, beasts of burden, props, weapons and snacks.

[[{{Satan}} The CEO]] of [[{{Hell}} Sin Inc's]] birthday is coming soon and for his birthday, he desires a pie. A pie made of some of the most foul and unappetizing ingredients in the known universe. The guy being assigned to make the pie would have to search for the ingredients and if the boss doesn't like it, expect that guy's head to be caved in, their horns ripped off and a severe pay cut.

!!This game contains examples of:

* BigRedDevil: Any demon who's not impish like Nate can generally be expected to be this.

* MythologyGag: One of the costumes you can buy from the vendor in Flavor Peaks is based off of Ed the Zombie, the PlayerCharacter from the Sluggerfly game ''VideoGame/BenAndEd''.
* NakedApron: The chef’s character design is that of a crudely dressed demon who wears nothing but an apron and a chef’s hat with the game emphasizing his nudity by showing Chef’s butt first before properly introducing him.

** One of the costumes you can unlock in the third room in Greed is based on the title character from ''VideoGame/PumpkinJack''.

* ToiletHumour: The game has a ''lot'' of fecalphilia in it. There are demons who buy feces at the supermarket, and a species of feces-eating humanoid blob people called munchers.

* AnimalWrongsGroup: The commune that moved into Sashimi Bay were the ones responsible for the snail-people's ceasing their whaling industry. While [[StrawmanHasAPoint they might have a point]] given the amount of BlackComedyAnimalCruelty we see them put a whale under, their solution to protecting the environment from perceived threats is [[BombThrowingAnarchists throwing bombs around]].

* BribingYourWayToVictory: Dr. Jell's Clinic is a long and dangerous level, but there's a single door early on that can skip all the obstacles and dump you right in front of the final room. You just have to pay the guard 10,000 Gems to walk through the VIP door (for context, you ''might'' have that much if you've spent nothing and have been religiously grabbing Gems).

* BribingYourWayToVictory: Dr. Jell's Clinic is a long and dangerous level, but there's a single door early on that can skip the whole level. You just have to pay the guard 10,000 Gems to walk through the VIP door (for context, you ''might'' have that much if you've spent nothing and have been religiously grabbing Gems).

* NakedApron: The chef’s character design is that of a crudely dressed demon who wears nothing but an apron and a chef’s hat with the game emphasizing his nudity by showing Chef’s butt first before properly introducing him

* SnipeHunt: [[spoiler: Satan doesn't actually care about the Hell Pie and his birthday isn't coming up. He just pranked Nate and the Chef, mocking Nate for being fooled into a pointless adventure chasing ingredients]].

* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: The inside of the whale's body is infested with "ghoulies." Don't ask how the human corpses got their or how they came back to life. The game doesn't tell you.

** Tertiary: Gems. They are everywhere and can be used to buy costumes. If Nate dies, he drops a handful of them.

* SnipeHunt: [[spoiler: Satan doesn't actually care about the Hell Pie and his birthday isn't coming up. He just pranked Nate and the Chef and mocks Nate for being fooled into a pointless adventure chasing ingredients]].

* BiggerOnTheInside: Nugget lampshades that the inside of the whale -- appropriately called [[WombLevel Inside Out -- is much larger than the whale itself.
* BlackComedyAnimalCruelty: The snail-people of Sashimi Bay have converted the ''still-living'' body of a beached whale (beached on top of a mountain no less) into a sushi restaurant. The snail-people are seen carving up its flesh for meat, and at several points giant harpoons spear through its body. By the time Nate blows the poor thing up, it seems like a MercyKill.

* InstantTasteAddiction: It's implied that, despite the poor quality, the food in Flavor Peaks is made to be addictive. This would make a lot of sense, as the sin of gluttony is more concerned with quantity over quality.

* PuttingOnTheReich: The Turd Reich are a race of sentient turds that launch a genocide against the munchers as an invading force with black gestapo hats for uniforms.

* ShaggyDogStory: [[spoiler:After you find all of the ingredients, battle the titular pie and throw Satan his birthday party, he reveals that it actually wasn't his birthday. It was just a mean prank and calls you an idiot for falling for it.]]

* StrawLoser: "Bad Taste" is the 8th sin and Nate is mocked incessantly for it, demons either acting like it isn't a "real" sin or mocking Nate for his aspirations of joining [[SevenDeadlySins the Seven]].

* EverythingsDeaderWithZombies: The inside of the whale's body is infested with "ghoulies." Don't ask how human corpses come back to life, the game doesn't tell you.

The guy being assigned to make the pie would have to search for the ingredients and if the boss doesn't like it, expect that guy's head to be caved in if there is so much as one thing wrong with it.
