Line 16:
* [[Bandaged Face]]
* [[Bottomless Magazines]]: 1213's gun ''never'' runs out of bullets, while the same applies for the security guards.
* {{spoiler|[[But What About the Astronauts?]]}}: The horrible truth learned just in time for the player to realize just how badly every last source of hope has been destroyed.
* [[Conspicuously Selective Perception]]: Guards will only shoot at you while you're on the same level as them, completely forgetting about you as soon as you drop out of their limited vision. Zombies only move in similar circumstances.
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: In a sense, Westbury.
** Otherwise subverted by Westbury's {{spoiler|''downright hatred'' of these sorts of people and how they go about doing things - this is the entire basis of his [[Motive Rant]]. When Petrovitch asks Westbury "Do you know how much that costs?!?" when 1213 destroys the final boss, Westbury ''snaps'', and shoots the poor guy in the head. Westbury ''despises'' bureaucrats. In fact, in the Special Edition commentary, Yahtzee makes a point that this [[Precision F

* [[Mission Control Is Off Its Meds]]: Westbury, Westbury, Westbury.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: By generally shooting everything that moves, 1213's considered a threat by the crew of the facility, which is a damned shame, considering what his purpose is...
** Not to mention {{spoiler|releasing the zombies from the first chapter to spread throughout the remainder of the facility when he blasts his way through the quarantine}}. Oops.
* [[Nobody Poops]]: Shower blocks exist, barracks exist, there's even a small mess room and an entire ''food court'', but not one toilet.
Line 39:
* [[Ontological Mystery]]: Stop me if you've heard this one: you awake in a room with no memory. Through exploration, you learn a backstory of horror, and ultimately fight to liberate yourself from your condition of ignorance.
** Yahtzee happily [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this in the special edition commentary.
* [[Precision F
* [[Puzzle Boss]]: The final boss.
* [[Redemption Equals Death]]: {{spoiler|Westbury's last orders saves 1213's life, even though his attempt at reconciling is in the middle of [[Jerkass]] territory.}}
