In the very beginning of the game, when Misfortune is leaving her home to follow Mr. Foreshadowing: Four notable ones for The Reveal that Misfortune was Dead All Along:. It's appropriately enough called the "Fuckedilus Dis Shittius", and is described as having a rude and confrontational personality. Flipping the Bird: In addition to Misfortune's anecdote about showing one to the monster in her closet, this world has a species of literal flipping birds that possess a wing structure which flips off people when they fly by. In particular, Morgo is suggested to exist somewhere deep within "The Beyond," an uncharted area of the Ultra-reality that exists between Misfortune's world and ours. Eldritch Location: The Ultra-Reality, which appears in this game both as a reference to Fran Bow, and is implied to be where the entire game takes place. This is partially due to her young age, and partially due to her own innate weirdness. Dissonant Serenity: Much like in Fran Bow before her, Misfortune's reactions to some of the deeply disturbing things she sees around her tend to be mildly perturbed at worst, rather than the genuine horror that one would consider to be a "normal" response. Should you pick the latter, he will do so, and as he touches her face, she goes beet red and she mentions in a awestruck voice that his paws are so soft. Crush Blush: When Misfortune trips and falls in front of Benjamin, there is a choice to let him pick you up or pretend to be dead. She also welcomes Misfortune when she enters the Fifth Reality with Benjamin. When she finally meets Misfortune, she speaks to her in a kind voice and refers to her as Lady a Misfortune. She has a grim reaper-like design, but she sends Benjamin to help Misfortune. He pulls her into a comforting hug, which somewhat calms her down. But then Benjamin, whom Misfortune thought was lost, comes up to her, making her feel a little relieved and happy to see him.
Cooldown Hug: Near the end, when Misfortune looks upon her own dead body and realizes that she is actually dead, she starts crying uncontrollably.Voice does it a few times when he wishes to share information with the player about the game - although, if he's not careful, Misfortune can often hear him. Voice: Die? No! Nobody said anything about anyone dying today. Voice realizes that Misfortune heard his narration:
Black Comedy: There is a plethora of terrifying and disturbing things about the story, especially all the references to death and bodily functions, but Misfortune's childish innocence and serenely dissonant reactions turn all of it into something horrifically hilarious. In the last shot of the game, she takes off her mask and smiles through her tears. It's a little bit sweeter in the Good Ending where you put glitter on everything you can: Misfortune's mother at least receives the happiness that Misfortune wished to give her. But this means she has to leave her old life behind (with her mother in tears over her death) and multiple other children, including her friend Hiro, have already been lost. Misfortune comes to terms with the fact that she's dead and escapes Morgo, and she's able to cross over to a "somewhere else" that, despite spooky appearances, seems much nicer. Bittersweet Ending: The Somewhere Else ending.
Big Damn Heroes: Benjamin saving Misfortune from Morgo's realm. Artsy Beret: Misfortune is a creative child who is introduced doing arts and crafts, and so she also wears a pink beret, even indoors. Interesting that visually the Squid isn't that different from Kamalas (and they both resemble a wendigo). Here, a Squid joins the fun - the Squid being a parasite from the Beyond, weird realm with, for now, incomprehensible laws. Angels Demons And Squid: In Fran Bow, Angels (Valokas from the realm of light) opposed Demons (Kamalas from the realm of darkness).
