History VideoGame / Industria

After getting knocked unconscious in a bumpy elevator ride and waking up in an abandoned underground facility, regaining her bearings Nora finds out she's somehow transported to an AlternateUniverse, Industria, seemingly devoid of life. Turns out Industria was zero point for Project ATLAS' activation 20 years ago, which somehow leads to the city's current, deserted state, and a mysterious digital voice is guiding her along the way. Also, the streets of Industria is revealed to be full of hostile robots who intends to eliminate all organic life-forms on sight.

* AIIsACrapshoot: Project ATLUS, which messes up royally and wipes out all life in the German city of Industria, filling it's population with robots and machines.
* AlternateUniverse: The city of Industria is definitely in a different universe from the one Walter and Nora come from. [[spoiler: It's implied Walter deliberately let ATLAS loose here to protect Nora and their universe from it, making this trope double as ExpendableAlternateUniverse]].
* BadassBookworm: You'd expect Nora, a scientist, researcher and generally a non-combatant to be quite helpless once she's stranded alone in Industria. But the moment she gets hold of a pick and firearms, she easily takes down one robot after another without too much effort.

* {{Cliffhanger}}: The game ends with [[spoiler: Nora managing to find Walt (or, rather, his comatose or dead body), only to end on a bizarre dream sequence with the whole "Atlas taking over the world" situation left unresolved)]].
* CyberCyclops: All the robots in Industria doesn't have any discernible facial features, the only organ they have being a single red eye.

* EverythingTryingToKillYou: If anything in Industria is capable of moving about, it ''will'' attack Nora on sight. Her only ally in-game is Brent, and even then he can only be heard.

* {{Hellevator}}: The elevator attached to ATLAS' core doesn't lead to hell, but it does lead to Industria - am empty, devoid world where ATLAS' robots have taken over all life-forms.

* MechaMooks: Owing to ATLAS malfunctioning in the past, Industria is now occupied entirely by it's robots, with every onscreen mook Nora destroys being mechanical.
* MindScrew: The ending becomes increasingly surreal and dream-like, with objects from your life in East Germany randomly turning up in the outskirts of Industria, [[spoiler: a disembodied Walter lecturing you as you float down a shaft of visions, and finally being on the theater stage from the dream sequences when the curtain falls.]]

* OneWordTitle: Also a LocationTitle, '''Industria''' is where the entire game is set.
* PowerfulPick: Nora's first pickup upon arrival in Industria and the sole melee weapon she can use. It takes down most robot enemies in just a handful of swings, too.
* RagnarokProofing: The firearms and ammunition Nora picks up throughout Industria is somehow still in working condition, despite being unused for 20 years.

* RobotWar: What supposedly happened in Industria years ago, though it's more of a GreatOffscreenWar with Nora arriving in time to realize the place is deserted.
* SeekingTheMissingFindingTheDead: Nora spends the whole game looking for Walter, who disappeared after crossing the dimensional portal to Industria some unspecified time ago only to discover the whole city is deserted. [[spoiler:After a lengthy search, she found Walter in the final scene, as a corpse (or a comatose body). But then Walter's voice is heard on a nearby radio]]...
* ShrineToSelf: Nora discovers how much influence Walter has to the entirety of the ATLAS project when coming across a building-sized statue of Walter in the middle of Industria.
* SniperRifle: Nora can obtain one while exploring Industria to snipe enemy robots from a distance. In a few stages it also doubles as a telescope.
* UnexpectedlyAbandoned: Industria, a city seemingly devoid of life, because the robots have taken over everything.

* TheVoice: Brent, a mysterious radio voice who contacts Nora shortly after her arrival in Industria and guides her where to go for every level. By the end of the game, [[spoiler:Nora is leaving Industria via train and Brent remains unseen - whether he's actually a person or a computer program remains an AmbiguousSituation. However, if you pay close attention, Brent can be seen as a wheelchair-bound older man watching you from a distance at certain points in the game]].
* WhamShot: Combined with WhamLine, but as Nora comes across a courtyard, Brett plays a recording of their king Rosendal, the combination of the voice and the statue in the courtyard reveals to both Brett and Nora that Walter is Rosendal.
* YearInsideHourOutside: From all indications, Nora entered the interdimensional portal only a few minutes after Walter, yet when she emerges, it's eventually revealed that she arrived in Industria 20 years after Walter did.

* FailedASpotCheck: Every once in a while, you can see gigantic, humanoid creatures walking around the far distance. Nora does not react to them in any way, so she might be unable to see them.

* ActionBomb: The spherical robot enemies' sole attack is to get close enough to Nora and detonate themselves. Their blast radius is ''huge'' and takes out quite a chunk of Nora's health, though if Nora guns them down they'll simply deactivate without detonating.

* IWarnedYou: Brent told Nora the "don't say I didn't warn you" variant when she insists on looking for Walter halfway into the game.
