Tropes

 * Darker and Edgier:
 * The Kaylia games are shown to be quite darker than the usual Ferryman games, due to TBD.
 * Ferryman and Kaylia vs. The Snapperclaws is, if not, the darkest Ferryman installment to date due to TBD.
 * Does Not Like Spam:
 * It is revealed that Kaylia does not like any chocolates.
 * Interspecies Friendship: Ferryman and Lake are pretty close friends despite him being a skeletial creature while Lake is a human.
 * Same can be said for Ferryman and Kaylia.
 * Skirts, Dresses and Gowns:
 * Reese Raini loves to wear skirts, especially her signature ankle denim skirt. However, she does tend to wear pants while exercising or sleeping.

 * Tsundere: Kaylia, despite mainly being badass and kinda harsh, shows her sweet side at times.
 * What Do You Mean, It's For Kids?:
 * Ferryman and Kaylia vs. The Snapperclaws is the saddest, and also the darkest Ferryman entry to date. [so dark that we make it PG-13?]
 * While it is confirmed that Ferryman is actually created for kids and family, the first four games were rated T due to the use of skeletons and some intense action.

YMMV

 * Ensemble Dark Horse:

 * [since it was originally LucasArts prior to the Disney acquistance, Star Wars]
 * [Buzz on Maggie, since Polsky created the first Ferryman show]

 * Fans of this and Poppin' Face Paints adore each others' series, since Elisha created both of them.
 * [Myth of the Monkey King?]
 * [Ivie Scott, at later extent]
 * [Me and Sparky]
 * No-Yay Shipping:
 * [Lake x Blake due to it being incest, and Lake is confirmed to be a lesbian]
 * [Lake x Ferryman, due to it being considered zoocest and the fact Ferryman is a skeleton]
