!!This game provides examples of:
* AIIsACrapshoot: A.V.A who goes a bit odd towards the end.
* ArtificialGravity: Inside the module the gravity is kept constant despite the changing gravity of the planet.
* BrainUploading: One of the satellites the player can find will mention uploading your brain to a new body (and how to avoid the splitting headache).
* TheCakeIsALie: Each mission we're awoken for our final mission before retirement after completion we're promised to be rescued.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: The game opens with one from the Corps of Discovery in a bit of old footage.
* CreepyMonotone: A.V.A starts out like this, firstly praising our performance and talking about our family. But in later missions the facade drops.
* RobotBuddy: A.V.A your constant companion actually has a bit of a character arc. Going from corporate shrill, to low key hostility, to frustration and finally acceptance.
* ShoutOut:
** The image of a skull in a helmet on an alien world is very much like the cover of Creator/StanislawLem's 1964 novel ''The Invincible''.
** A.V.A sings Daisy Bell in a clear ''Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey''
*UnexplainedRecovery: At the end of each mission we pass out and wake up back in the module.
* WeWillUseManualLaborInTheFuture: At one point A.V.A says the company could have sent three robots up of the same weight of the Major and they would have got the job done by now, mocking the much touted value of the frontal lobe.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: One rotation sees the Major attempting to reassemble his shuttle to get off the planet, only to discover it's now several hundred, if not thousands, of years old.
