* CapitalismIsBad: Exaggerated. Earth is now a toxic wasteland with acid rains and other deadly weathers that kill hundreds of people and the blame falls to Kindred Aerospace, the company who has been polluting the planet incredibly bad, forcing countless people to buy their products in order to live in a world destroyed by them. They also plan to find a new planet to colonize it and make a new home, by sending unsuspecting people with minimal training to chart the whole planet alone, not caring if they die through unknown diseases, local fauna or flora or geographic dangers. All of this horrors was caused by one heavily greedy man who sought to gain as much money as he could, not caring if innocent people died. This is even more exaggerated when you see the ads that play in the Javelin ship where there are businesses on Earth that includes: a burger restaurant chain that uses vegan people as their primary meat source and unsanitary conditions are the main course, creating life for trivial simulations of life, cash-grabby DLCs with barely any new content and under the premise that its new, tissues that makes you forget bad thoughts with the risk of losing memories and a TV program that literally acts as the [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour Big Brother]] to spy on people.

* HateSink: Martin Tweed. He and his company are the reason why Earth is so polluted that acid rains are now a common weather, all to just to profit from people buying their products so that they can live better in the contaminated planet. Looking for new planets to colonize, Kindred Aerospace has started a program where they would send incautious tourists into uncharted and dangerous planets to analyze their resources, not caring if they die.

* CaptainErsatz: Copies a couple enemies from ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons.''
** The Osmotic Cube is a non-hostile Gelatinous Cube.
** The Kapneya is based on the Displacer Beast, a puma-like animal with FlashStep abilities and two CombatTentacles growing out of its back.

* CloningBlues: Whenever the explorer dies, a clone with their memories is created to resume the mission. Kindred's teleportation technology also explicitly destroys the original at the point of origin and creates a copy at the other end of the teleporter that believes it's the original. Your A.I. also warns that CloneDegeneration may start to manifest after around 50 deaths.

* NoPronunciationGuide: There's an area called the Depths of Fnndddkkeyrtt. Try figuring that one out.

* EverythingsBetterWithSpinning:
** The Nomads battery revolves once with each shot. When [[ChargeAttack charged up,]] it emits blue lightning and spins constantly. Hit it again to make the shots bounce, and hit it a third time to get a ''mini-nuke''.
** Boomerbang enemies attack by spinning through the air like a boomerang.

* FantasticFlora
** FungusHumongous: Areas in the Itching Fields have big mushroom trees and forests, notably the Festering Chasm and the Fungi of Si'ned VII. Large mushrooms are also evident in other places.
** ToweringFlower: Ditto for flowers as well.

* SchizoTech: Star Trek level replicator, cloning machine, and teleporter, but you have a computer from the 1990s to check E-mails on.

* CrapsackWorld: Earth is a shithole in this game. One weather condition is "Plague Mist," a concentrated haze of ''Black Death'' microbes! Not to mention that crippling debt to a MegaCorp is just a fact of life.

* MinimalistCast: The game's cast is limited to yourself (a SilentProtagonist) and your ship's A.I. that serves as your MissionControl. The [=DLC=] campaign adds a hostile rival A.I. as the [=DLC=]'s BigBad.

* TropicalIslandAdventure: The "Hot Garbage" DLC introduces the planet DL-C1 and its tropical jungles.

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Apparently the game takes place in the year 2041, as indicated by a calendar in the Javelin (showing the Explorer's depature date as 2034, plus 7 years of travel time), and rather optimistically suggests humanity will develop cloning, interstellar travel, jetpacks and ray guns, a life expectancy exceeding 255 years, and technology to massively accelerate climate change in just 14 years. (Alternatively, like ''VideoGame/FarCry3BloodDragon'', the game takes place in an alternate universe consist of the futuristic year 20XX as envisioned in the 1980's.)
