Tempting Fate: In one of the bonus room scenes, Keith teases Sophie about believing in fairies, and jokes about the chances of one of her fairy friends punishing him. The Sand Man is watching the whole exchange. Cue a sudden bout of insomnia for the detective.

All There in the Manual: According to the character bios unlocked after completing the game, the reason why Paul and Marion (whom were originally going to go on the trip with David and Shirley instead of Sophie and Richard) didn't end up going was because David challenged Paul to a chili dog contest and Paul ended up getting gastritis as a result.

Multiple Endings
 The Boogie Man (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Multiple Endings: There are five, based on who you are able to save and whether or not you activate all the necessary events. Bad End 1: The Boogie's Fine Tonight. Sophie and David are both dead. Keith finds Helena's dead body and realizes that he, accidentally, caused her death and kills the Boogie Man in a fit of rage. After being interrogated by the police, he heads outside, but tells the Boogie Man to come out — which he does. The Boogie Man reveals himself to be Keith, who proceeds to commit suicide. Bad End 2: The White Room. Sophie is dead, but David is alive. The stairs in the hallway are collapsing and Keith pushes David out of the way, but falls himself. He cannot find any of the others and, according to the police, no witnesses are around. Keith heads into his son's room and begins to hallucinate Tod being there, asking when Helena will come back. Keith joins his son, both waiting for Helena to return… Bad End 3: Precious Box. Sophie lives, but David dies. Keith defeats the Boogie Man and throws him off a balcony, killing him. Keith and Helena go through with their divorce, but meet up for a nice dinner to talk a week later. At night, Keith kills Helena and lays her on the bed, lamenting that he wasn't able to protect either her or Tod. Keith goes into the bathroom to commit suicide. Bad End 4: Happy Dream. Sophie and David are both alive, but none of the Happy End events have been triggered. Keith defeats the Boogie Man, but gets killed in the process. Helena sits at a window, having dreamt that Keith was alive, only for reality to pull her back — with Shirley and David there to support her. While the two get into an argument, Helena throws herself out of the window. Happy End: Come Rain, Come Shine. Sophie and David are both alive and all the Happy End events must be done. Keith mocks the Boogie Man and defeats him, revealing him to have been Brendon all along. Brendon injures Keith, just as the others arrive. Brendon is restrained and taken into custody, and the others give testimony to the events. Keith and Helena head to Tod's grave and Keith vows to get therapy, to better himself and asks Helena for her support, which she gladly gives.

Ambiguous Situation
 The Boogie Man (Video Game) / int_1f6983f7
comment
Ambiguous Situation: At one point, Keith splits up for a while from David to investigate a dark area. Then, during this lone journey, David accidentally appears behind him and keeps following like a party member normally would. Then, when Keith finally reunites with the real David, there are two Davids, yet neither Keith nor the real David seem to notice this during the cutscene. That other David eventually disappears after said cutscene and is never mentioned. It might be an indication that Keith's mind isn't completely right throughout the game.

"Scooby-Doo" Hoax
 The Boogie Man (Video Game) / int_4b9a8e96
comment
"Scooby-Doo" Hoax: The seemingly-normal tour at Livingstone Castle is quickly hijacked by the titular Boogie Man, the creature from myth himself, who traps the tourists and their guide in a Deadly Game, challenging Detective Keith Baring to venture through the castle and save them from his many death traps. He also shows off intimate knowledge of the characters and claims that he has been watching humans through the closet for ages, and thus knows everything about their lives. He also appears to have teleportation abilities. But Keith himself is convinced the Boogie Man does not exist and this guy is simply a man in a costume playing tricks. He's half-right; although the Boogie Man does exist, this one is a human imposter — the owner of the castle, Brendon Dumont. He was able to gather knowledge about the characters through simple-but-extensive research. His supposed teleportation was really him going through secret passages thanks to his extensive knowledge of the castle. It's still darker than most examples, since the perpetrator may not be a supernatural monster, but he is a sadistic mass-murderer who desires Fame Through Infamy, rather than simply frightening locals.

Death Trap: One of the Boogie Man's preferred methods of playing with Keith: sticking a hostage or two in one of these and giving him a chance to try and rescue them. Complete with a few Red Herrings meant to distract from the real solution long enough for something unfortunate to occur...

Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: David stops Keith as he's about to enter the room where Sophie was cornered by the pack of dogs and asks if he's really going in there. When Keith asks if he's scared, David replies that when he was a kid, "a wild dog" chased him for about an hour, so now he's afraid of dogs. He won't go in the room, so Keith has to go alone.

Sacrificial Lamb: To prove that he's serious, the Boogie Man kills Brenden in front of Keith and then lets Stevie bleed to death before Keith can save him to demonstrate how the "game" functions. The former is an averted case, as Brandon's death turns out to have been faked and the body used was a very convincing doll.

Room Full of Crazy: The Boogie Man likes to write on the walls and floors. However, the best ending implies that most, if not all, of these writings were Keith's delusions, as neither David nor Shirley remember seeing anything like that.

And Now for Someone Completely Different: At certain points in the game, the player briefly controls Sophie and David. Sophie's scenario is crucial to the story, as it portrays the Boogie Man completely different to what Keith has seen. It's also confirmed in the Happy End that this Boogie Man is different than the one she encountered in The Sandman (2014).

Mood Whiplash: Very noticeable in Bad End 4. Right after Keith's death, the scene switches to Helena waking up in bed with a very alive Keith. Only for it to whip back as Keith tells her to wake up again, revealing that his death did happen. Then it goes softer again with Shirley having a heart-to-heart with Helena, before getting into a petty argument with David — and a fourth whiplash as Helena throws herself out the window.

Irony: Due to the events of The Crooked Man, it is revealed that Keith distrusts David and believes him to be a madman. Which is pretty interesting, considering that David already made peace with his shortcomings in the first game, while Keith is slowly becoming mad himself.

Shout-Out

Shout-Out: Early on, Brendon mentions that he likes to watch Law & Order. A little later, David compares Keith to RoboCop. Richard mentions an argument he had with his late wife over whether to see it or Platoon in a theater. One of the puzzles makes one to Silence of the Lambs with the line "Have the lambs stopped screaming yet, detective?". When talking about Shirley to David, the Boogie Man sets a bloody box down in front of him. The trailer features these lines. See if you recognize them.

Red Herring

Red Herring: Many of them. When trying to save Lance from the buzzsaw, you'll find a console behind iron shelves. The writing "BOGIE" on the console and the writing on the wall about it in the room before may hint at a 5-digit password to stop the buzzsaw. You need to break the door with the axe in the buzzsaw room for keys to unlock his restraints. Later in the game, in one room, you'll find a chessboard with arranged pieces. Outside the room, there are much bigger pieces and a locked gate. You would think that you need to arrange them like in the room before? Actually, you have to move the pieces out of the board to be like "before the battle" as one note mentions. You can notice that some of the pieces in the room are placed between the squares and there are additional pieces on the board. Some of the items and puzzles seem to be out of the way and unnecessary to advance. Subverted, because they are used to unlock special events, which are essential for the good ending.

Grief-Induced Split: Keith and Helena suffer the loss of their five-year-old son Tod before the events of the game. Helena moves to divorce Keith, feeling that he hasn't been able to accept their son's death because he's spent so much time taking care of her.
