* EverythingsCuterWithKittens: One of the items (obtained by beating the roulette game) is a cat that boosts every skill but offense.
* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: the game's setup lets you choose your character's name, starting item and difficulty via their diary.
* GreaterNeedThanMine: Sometimes a trade caravan shows up, but on seeing your supplies insists on giving you free food.
* HoldTheLine: What the survivors do every night against the hordes of zombies surrounding them. Several of the endings have massive hordes show up every night until the objective is completed.
* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels
* IntrepidMerchant: Gustav the trader comes around every week to sell items for food, buy items for food, or propose the services of his BandOfBrothels.
* KillItWithFire: Jury-rigged flamethrowers are quite useful for clearing blocks of zombies.
* MemeticBadass: InUniverse. Characters reaching level 10 in a skill are treated as such, like soldiers able to kill zombies with a glance.
* MoreDakka: Machine guns and assault rifles provide the highest offense bonus.
* MultipleEndings: Five of them. [[spoiler: Curing zombieism, creating a new nation, fixing a helicopter, defeating the Last Judgement gang, and everyone converting to the Church of the Chosen Ones.]]
* NameOfCain: the Last Judgement is headed by a Father Kane.
* NewGamePlus: The good endings have you choose five people to go to a new city to rebuild. You can choose the difficulty and the items your envoys are equipped with.
* OmnidisciplinaryScientist: Laboratory upgrades range from zombie biology to electricity and electronics to agronomy. The items that increase science skill are equally disparate, from medkits to chemistry kits to science textbooks.
* RandomlyGeneratedLevels: Cities are completely randomized, though you always start with a police station, housing and a farm.
** Character names and appearances in the second game are similarly randomized; it's possible to end up with, for example, a man in a business suit and a keffiyeh by the name of Satoshi Gomez.
* ReinventingtheWheel: You lose all your scientific upgrades after starting a NewGamePlus.
* RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain: Several reports note this is the only way to deal with the zombies.
* ScavengerWorld: Before you get enough farms to produce more food than you eat, your food and equipment must be scavenged from zombie-infested city blocks.
* ScrewTheWarWerePartying: A bizarre variation: if the Church of the Chosen Ones is allowed to proliferate, they will shut down the city every two or three days to celebrate someone joining the Chosen Ones teeming outside their walls, when they aren't joining them of their own free will.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: If happiness or food levels are too low, some survivors will leave and try their luck elsewhere.
* ShoutOut: Survivors report success with lines like "[[PulpFiction Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead.]]", "[[DieHard Yipee-ka-yay]]" or "[[EvilDead Groovy]]". One mentions DawnOfTheDead by name.
* UnitsNotToScale: Suburbs, motels, apartment blocks and trailer parks can all only provide housing for two people.
* ViolationOfCommonSense: the BadEnding requires you to allow a book claiming "zombies are our friends" to proliferate and allow the author to commandeer a church to preach their beliefs.
** One of the good endings requires you to [[spoiler:allow an obvious MadScientist inside your fort, give him a lab, ignore the screams coming from the lab, and continue his work even after it explodes. Turns out his cure for zombieism actually works.]]
* VoodooShark: The hordes that show up when trying to get and ending. While it's vaguely plausible that they see people working on a helicopter and work out that they're trying to escape, or see groups of soldiers leaving to attack the Last Judgement and strike while they're gone, how exactly do they know the survivors are working on a zombie cure or are ''drafting new legislation?''
* YouHaveResearchedBreathing: In the first game, survivors can only fit into one category, though they can change at a school. In the second, they can increase their skills as they do relevant missions, and training at a school increases that skill.
* ZombieInfectee: A possible fate for the survivors, and are put down in plain view of the other survivors unless you researched the antivenom.
