Arc Symbol: The titular blue chairs, and the blue color in general, which appears whenever things get surreal.

Multiple Endings

Multiple Endings: When you meet Beatrice at the roof of her house, she asks you whether what's happening now is real. If you answer "yes", you join her in the other world (presumably the afterlife), and live together happily forevermore. If you answer "no", you wake up after the party, back in the normal world. Now you have a mystery to solve about what really happened to you. At the very beginning of the game, you can also decline to buy the drug from the mysterious man, which means you go on with your ordinary life.

Snow Means Death: The happiest ending, in which Dante presumably joins Beatrice in the afterlife, has them running through the snow.

World of Mysteries: The game in general gives off this vibe, especially the part with the maze in the supermarket freezer. Dante encounters multiple motionless people there, and each of these people has their own mysterious backstory:

Shout-Out: You can find multiple keys in the game, including an ornate blue key. This may be a reference to Mulholland Dr..

The Lost Lenore

comment
The Lost Lenore: It is heavily implied that Beatrice is dead. Let's see: Dante goes on a journey through a surreal alternate reality to find her. Upon arriving at her house, he sees that it's destroyed by fire. He climbs to the roof and finds Beatrice there; she stands on thin air without falling. And of course, there are Dante and Beatrice's names.

Together in Death
 Blue Chairs (Video Game) / int_f6624c30
comment
Together in Death: This is one possible interpretation of the happiest ending. Dante arrives at Beatrice's house to find it destroyed by fire. At the roof of the house's remains he finds Beatrice who stands on air without falling. If he chooses to join her, they float together to the ground and end up in a Paradise-like world where they can be happy forever.

Mushroom Samba: Dante's entire trip could be a drug-induced hallucination, as evidenced by one of the endings, in which he wakes up in the morning after the party. Or not.
