List of tropes

• Off with His Head!: Interestingly shown in Galbraith’s nightmare, where doctor Baselard blows off the head of Schaeymoure’s wooden mannequin.
• Our Demons Are Different: Roughly speaking, there are no demons at all in the work, but one of Galbraith’s nightmares describes a creature born from kleister, which is very similar in description to Pinky from Doom 3.
• Once More, with Clarity: If you read act zero AFTER the main three, it turns out that the episode when Delia reads a fairy tale at apartment of Jo’s friend is repeated twice in the work, only if in the second act a brief synopsis is given, then in act zero it is told in detail about this.
• Obstructive Bureaucrat: Portland police see no point in investigating Delia’s murder. Galbraith only miraculously manages to obtain documents to fly to London to begin the pursuit of doctor Baselard.
