* TheAlcoholic: Detective Bluth has been driven into alcoholism by his daughter's death. He has never visited her grave since then, claiming that absinthe provides enough of a closure already. At one point, he also ruefully reflects that he has no one left who is worth quitting for, and those who tell him to quit to save himself do not know that he is the last person who would be worth saving. However, that is also deflection to cope with the fact his wife left him explicitly because she could no longer handle his drinking.

It's unclear when exactly it diverged from our world, but it had to be no later than the start of 17th century, since 1749 featured the so-called "Steam Wars", which were an actual conflict.

Once Detective Bluth finally makes it to the top of the tower, though, all he needs to do shut the machine down is to jump onto a big green button that's right in front of him, with the professor utterly powerless to stop him. There's no explanation as to why he built such an obvious vulnerability, especially given that he was unable to use it himself due to the way it was positioned.]]
* BloodlessCarnage: There is no blood around, and even if Bluth happens to fall onto a bed of huge spikes, or gets hit by a huge buzzsaw, his body simply goes limp, but is otherwise unblemished.
* BookEnds: The game begins with Detective Bluth falling off a cliff, while he is narrating that this is just a dream, albeit one he has had for the last 6 months. [[spoiler:In the bad ending, he jumps off the tower for real, rather than go back to his absinthe addiction.]]

There is also the associated sub-story beneath it, "Storms Pummel Pearl Islands". The other stories are "Brilliant Exploits of General Averill" and "Woman Learns to Read!", which warranted a front page for some reason.
