----

The game has sixteen unique endings, where the Wanderer can die horribly, save everyone, or fall somewhere in between.

* GoWaitOutside: Several optional scenes involve the Wanderer being sent outside [[spoiler: while the Artist paints or the Dancer makes up with her ex-girlfriend.]]

* InfinityPlusOneSword: You can literally collect items called The Best Sword, The Best Armour, etc, in the Labyrinth.

* OptionalPartyMember: A character can easily be missed at the very beginning of the game if you don't do certain things in the right order.
* SealedEvilInACan: Anxe's end goal is to release [[spoiler: The Power of Apocalypse, which if left uncontained can destoy the whole of Esoteria.]]

* ShiningCity: Deserted now, but the Panoptic realm of Etheria was this in its heyday [[spoiler: and, depending on the ending the player chooses, can be repopulated and returned to its full glory.]]

* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: There are a number of characters that can join the Wanderer’s party, but the first three you meet, and the ones you are most likely to fight alongside at one point or another, follow this hair colour scheme: [[spoiler: the blonde Dancer, brunette Escort, and redhead Free.]]

It follows The Wanderer, an androgynous blank slate character, as they explore the surreal world of Esoteria to find their home island while being hunted by a relentless and inescapable Killer. The people of Esoteria, similarly nameless and hunted, help or hinder the Wanderer on their journey through the Layers of the world.

* CrueltyIsTheOnlyOption: The Queens of the Bottom Layer are physical incarnations of progress-blocking crystal barriers. To complete the game, they have to be killed. They have varying reactions to this, ranging from refusal to apathy.

* InsurmountableWaistHeightFence: The world of Esoteria works...a little differently than Earth. Obstacles that should be easily circumvented are [[LampshadeHanging recognized in-game]] to be insurmountable despite all logic, due to the strange physics of a strange place.

* WhatTheHellHero: Depending on the player's choices, The Wanderer can get[[Understatement kind of mean]], and gets called out on it.

* GoWaitOutside: Several optional scenes involve the Wanderer being sent outside [[while the Artist paints or the Dancer makes up with her ex-girlfriend.]]

* BigBad: Anxe, the Killer, is indeed a very big bad.

* ChickMagnet: The Wanderer gets ... a ''lot'' of attention from the female characters.

* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Both literal and figurative; the players' actions can lead to several characters permanently dying in-story, and one of the moves the Wanderer can learn is Embridge, which... literally drops a bridge on someone, for massive damage.

* AFGNCAAP: The Wanderer, but they do find more of an identity as the game moves along.
