Tropes used in Survivor: The Living Dead include:

• Bare Your Midriff: The female zombies.
• Chainsaw Good
• Driven to Suicide: The owner of the house can be found in a locked room, with his brains blown out next to a shotgun.
• Kill It with Fire
• Molotov Cocktail: One of the DIY weapons available in the game.
• Plunder: Guns can be obtained from certain zombies and the dead homeowner.
• Our Zombies Are Different: Most are fairly typical, although there is a rare variety that gives off clouds of poisonous gas.
• Shout-Out: The game is a self-confessed Romero homage. In particular, the opening cutscene is based directly on the first scene of Night of the Living Dead.
• Your Head Asplode: The effect of using a shotgun on a zombie at close range. One variety of zombie also reacts this way to the fire poker.
• Zombie Apocalypse
• Zombie Infectee: as well as a standard health metre, Amber has an infection metre which gradually raises after she has first been bitten.
