* EverythingIs3DPrintedInTheFuture:
** The [[MegaCorp Nakamura]] space station is equipped with 3D printers that can be used by the PlayerCharacter to [[ResurrectiveImmortality reprint herself]] if/when the chassis housing her VirtualGhost form is destroyed. Each 3D printer also functions as a SavePoint, with the printers also functioning as a WarpWhistle system by printing a new body at the target destination.
** The shops around the station that sell consumable items, upgrades and weapons to Ghost also qualify, with Ghost only having to collect enough energy cubes to power the printing unit for a given consumable item, upgrade or weapon.

* DevelopersForesight: At the screen where you "[[HelloInsertHere choose a name for your game]]," you are told to "choose wisely, as it can't be changed later." If you put in "[[ExactWords Wisely]]", the game [[SarcasmMode sarcastically laughs]]. If you type in "Changed Later", the game emphasizes that it can't be changed later and prompts you to type another name. And if you follow that up with "Another Name", the game just says "I'm getting sick of you," and [[RageQuit shuts down]]. You get an {{achievement|Mockery}} for this.

Added DiffLines:

* SelfDeprecation: The trailer for the game makes you think it's for the game since it involves a RobotWar, but it involves Jacker and Boogan watching a trailer for an in-universe roguelike. Jacker complains that it involves a [[HeroicBuild muscular white guy]], but upvotes it because it's from [[ButHeSoundsHandsome an indie studio]].

Added DiffLines:

* BoringButPractical: The Plant Skin that can be acquired by collecting all Hidden Souls in the Greenhouses "only" gives Ghost a passive 2HP/second regen effect, but this can be more useful than the skins acquired later.


Added DiffLines:

** In the Chunker sector, Jacker wants to cause [[Franchise/StarWars "A disturbance in the Force"]] to answer the question whether or not Ghost is a Naka.


Added DiffLines:

* StatingTheSimpleSolution: When Jacker says that the equipment Boogan needs to cause the "disturbance in the Force" in the Chunker sector may not even exist on the station, Boogan simply replies that he has blueprints he can send to one of Nakamura's 3D printers.

Added DiffLines:

* TractorBeam: The boss of the [[spoiler:Jacker rescue]] uses these. At first, it only throws barrels, but as its HP get depleted, it picks up a metal beam to shield itself from the front. As its HP get even lower, it rips a steam tank from the floor and starts to throw it around as well - which is a OneHitKill for the robot you're forced to control for the fight if it hits.

Added DiffLines:

* GuideDangIt: At times, what has to be done to release the Hidden Souls in a room can be quite puzzling. Some rooms have requirements like "Survive the alarm" or "Destroy all enemies", which the player is likely to be triggering anyway. However, other rooms have reqirements like "Crouch for 5 seconds" or putting either Ghost or her VirtualGhost in some random location that's unlikely to be found without trying everything.

Added DiffLines:

* HeKnowsTooMuch: Right before the FinalBattle, Viktor tells Ghost she has seen too much to be allowed to continue living.


Added DiffLines:

* IsThisThingStillOn: During the tutorial, Jacker uses voice distortion to try and make it seem like Ghost is working for a large, established company like usual - until he forgets to close the comm channel one time and Ghost hears everything. However, this is downplayed, as Ghost had already been told by Viktor beforehand that this time, she was working for, in her words, "Two nerds with money".

He is strictly against the Biped being deployed in the Labs, only grudgingly agreeing to it being posted at the entrance, and, [[spoiler:during the FinalBattle, activating the shield protecting Ghost's brain, denying the order to deactivate it as the General is not his superior, and destroying the first wave of robots with a load of bombs.]]

** The [[spoiler:Jacker rescue]] is skippable without penalty and offers frequent checkpoints. Additionally, Ghost can't be destroyed [[spoiler:as her chassis is back on the Nakamura station]], so there's no risk of losing energy cubes.



* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Jacker and Boogan are the first clients to treat Ghost like a person rather than an asset. They communicate with her throughout the mission, show concern for her wellbeing, and generally make her feel like part of the team. As such, when Ghost’s boss Viktor kidnaps Jacker toward the end of the game, Ghost immediately enacts a plan to rescue him.
