Freeze-Frame Bonus: When Anna's "Work Sucks" vlog, the text on the printed paper is: " I am screaming in text right now why shouldn't I fire". Ashley seems to be unusually close to Anna, physically. Foreshadowing: Look closely at Anna's photos with Ashley. But instead of the game over it leads you to expect, you're greeted with a new login screen, and your first contact with Aulner. Fission Mailed: The phone data reset is pretty much unavoidable, even if you answer all the security questions. Failure Is the Only Option: You can't save James Aulner no matter what, but James can help you save Anna. It is only after you sacrifice Taylor that the Simulacra clarifies that it meant Anna's physical body will be returned, and that her consciousness/soul will still been absorbed into its influence. Exact Words: If you choose to save Anna over Taylor, then the Simulacra will tell you that "the being known as Anna will be returned". She tells you that if she had known beforehand Greg was seeing another girl, she wouldnt have gotten involved with him. Everyone Has Standards: Yolanda was upset to learn that Greg had a girlfriend while he was seeing her. 
If you manage to hook Ashley up with Anna, get Greg to turn himself into the police, and get Murv fired, the Simulacra recognizes your ability to manipulate the world around you and spares both Anna and Taylor.
Earn Your Happy Ending: The good ending requires you to lie indiscriminately in order to get the characters to act in opposition to their normal selves. There are other downer endings for other individual plot threads too, such as Ashley fining out that Anna is missing, Yolanda's career being ruined, and you being investigated by the Police instead of Greg. Downer Ending: The ending where both Anna and Taylor are lost to the Simulacra. Though there's still room to argue that he was potentially verbally abusive, or at least manipulative. He is a jerk, but he's too cowardly to physically attack someone. This raises the question of whether he abused Anna, and whether he's in some way involved in her disappearance. Domestic Abuse: Greg is abrasive, clearly has anger issues and paranoia, and is currently in the process of breaking up with Anna because he nearly got another woman pregnant. Cosmic Horror Reveal: The culprit behind Anna's disappearance turns out to be an Eldritch Abomination residing in the Internet. Occasionally, the choices you select in conversations will be overridden by the Simulacra. When someone calls you, you can answer, but can't speak. This comes back later when Anna tells the player that they are texting via James's phone - tipping the player off that this is not the real Anna. Call-Back: In the middle of the game, the player learns that James Aulner left his phone at his workplace prior to his disappearance. Also a similar noise recorded by James' co-worker. 
Brown Note: The strange noise that Greg records in Anna's apartment. Bland-Name Product: Jabbr (Twitter), Spark (Tinder), Vloggr (a cross between Vine and Blogger), Kappafeed (Buzzfeed), and Surfer (Safari). Bittersweet Ending: Even if you get the Golden Ending and save both Anna and Taylor, the Simulacra is still out there, and will presumably continue to "delete" people. Big Bad: The one responsible for Annas disappearance is the titular Simulacra, a digital abomination residing in the Internet which is killing and absorbing people into itself. The Simulacra itself says this during its chat with the Player. Arc Words: "I am her as she is me." Both Anna and Taylor (though it turns into "I am it.") say this. All for Nothing: If you choose to have the Simulacra save Taylor over Anna, Taylor must kill Anna to save his own life, rendering everything you did useless. Adult Fear: Anna has been missing for days, and no one knows about it until the player finds the phone.
