Dummied Out | |
| Adventure: The Inside Job (Video Game) / int_1653843c | comment |
Dummied Out: An In-Universe element actually; game characters like to spend their free time in the dummied-out game rooms because the players won't disturb them there. | |

Obviously Evil | |
| Adventure: The Inside Job (Video Game) / int_7c0bfb83 | comment |
Obviously Evil: Jean-Eric LeMort in the third game was specifically designed to be as much of a stereotypical villain as possible. The fact that his first name sounds very similar to "Generic" is not accidental. | |

Fictional Disability | |
| Adventure: The Inside Job (Video Game) / int_b690b676 | comment |
Fictional Disability: In her cancelled game, Thalia was to have a rare disease which causes her to temporarily switch identities with the nearest living organism with a central nervous system. The disease actually appears in Welcome to the Genre, but Thalia manages to gain control of it, making it a Disability Superpower. | |

Show Within a Show | |
| Adventure: The Inside Job (Video Game) / int_c2393191 | comment |
Show Within a Show: Though most of the adventure games mentioned in the plot are real, the storyline also involves some that do not exist in real life: Thalia's boss Tlotzin is a character from an unreleased game about Aztec mythology. Her marine iguana friend and colleague Ichabod is from an unmade edutainment game Ichabod's Island Adventure. Another friend of Thalia, Suzy-Ann Alva, was to be the protagonist of a cancelled edutainment game for girls. In the third installment, Welcome to the Genre, her game finally gets made. Her another colleague Sidonius is from an unreleased fantasy adventure. There is also an episodic character Clem, from the unreleased "the most offensive adventure game ever", which would have been about his quest to marry a girl who is also his cousin. In the second installment All In The Game, Thalia actually gets to visit "the offensive game". | |

Bestiality Is Depraved: In the second installment All In The Game, Thalia gets to visit "the most offensive game ever", where she helps a farmer find his sheep. She ends up wondering what's so offensive about that game, and is given the answer: "You don't know the truth about him and his sheep". | |

Shout-Out | |
| Adventure: The Inside Job (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: A whole lot of them: The character of Thalia was inspired by Queen Valanice from King's Quest, and the scene where she catches a jackalope references a similar puzzle from King's Quest VII: The Princeless Bride where Valanice has to do the same. The light blue book in Thalia's room is actually The Eyre Affair, the first book in Thursday Next series. | |

Red Herring | |
| Adventure: The Inside Job (Video Game) / int_dbca2c99 | comment |
Red Herring: Sidonius, the antagonist of the first game, is initially blamed for the events of the third one. It turns out he's innocent this time, but the real bad guy, Jean-Eric LeMort, used Sidonius' device for his own evil plans. | |

Well-Intentioned Extremist | |
| Adventure: The Inside Job (Video Game) / int_fd4f8299 | comment |
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Sidonius in the first game. He steals items and characters from adventure games, hoping that the players would eventually notice that. The video game companies would therefore be forced to make new adventure games, leading to a renaissance of the genre. | |
