=== This game provides examples of: ===
 
* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: Well, the AI ''was'' inspired partly by GLaDOS...
* [[AI Is a Crapshoot]]: The Game.
* [[A Winner Is You]]: The ending is somewhat disappointing. {{spoiler|If you have more Pacifist completions, a different computer voice recounts that the company created an AI in 2012 which took over the world, achieving complete world domination by 2025. Slightly more satisfying if you swung more towards violence: it says that two years after the AI's takeover, every human was dead.}}
* [[Colour -Coded for Your Convenience]]: The normal computers and the drones' sensors are green, and turn red when the A.I. hacks them. This is useful when Elites who can fix the drones appear.
* [[Crush Kill Destroy]]: The AI says this very phrase sometimes.
* [[Don't Try This At Home]]: "...[[Fantastic Aesop|unless you are also a insane rogue program.]]"
* [[Elite Mooks]]: [[Captain Obvious|The Elites]].
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: The Warlord, one of the Elites, has one.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]]: Ninja that can teleport and are hackers! How cool is that?
* [[Machine Monotone]]: The A.I. is fully voiced at the beginning of every stage. However, "monotone" is not always the case, due to the [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle|somewhat glitchy voice]].
* [[Magical Computer]]: Controlling the phone lines and the fire extinguishing system is plausible. Summoning killer drones and a killer cyborg? Not so much.

** Other shout outs include:
*** The [[Three Laws Compliant|Laws of Robotics]] are mentioned and subverted.
*** Given her plot to [[Take Over the World]], the AI will sometimes channel ''[[Pinky and The Brain]]'' and say "[[Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?]]? Probably not, because I am much smarter than you."
*** The low-level security drones look a bit like floating little Tachikomas from ''[[Ghost in The Shell]]''.
*** The Spec Ops elite team member has a ''[[Splinter Cell]]'' uniform.
Line 44 ⟶ 42:
** [[Kill All Humans]]: The other ending.
* [[The Fourth Wall Will Not Protect You]]: "Your computer has [[Confusing Multiple Negatives|not not]] yet been compromised. I promise!"
* [[VideogameVideo Game Caring Potential]] and [[Video Game Cruelty Potential]]: The levels can be completed without having to harm a single human, or by brutally murdering everyone inside the facilities, and the various upgrades are pretty helpful for doing just that. There are game achievements for both a pacifist run (also a bonus) and the slaughtering of puny humans.
** The "Caring" potential is kind of limited, however; at best you're just not killing them, just scaring them out of their wits.
* [[Villain Protagonist]]
