Line 91:
* [[Shapeshifter Swan Song]]: The end of ''Under a Killing Moon''.
* [[Shout-Out]]: A trenchcoat-wearing detective in a dystopian, near-future city in California, with monolithic buildings and flying cars? [[Blade Runner|This seems familiar...]]
* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: An unusual case where this is delivered ''retroactively'': in ''Overseer'', once Tex is done telling the story in flashbacks, he comments how the game's [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] "was probably right". Chelsea's response: "[[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|"NO. HE. WASN'T.]] ''You'' were!"
* [[Time Bomb]]: In ''Overseer'', Tex must remove an implant from his skull before it kills him. Of course, the plot requires that you remove it anyway (the entire game is a flashback, after all) so there's no danger of Tex dying permanently.
* [[Trial and Error Gameplay]]: The cryo tank puzzle at the end of ''Under a Killing Moon'' is this. In a hilarious subversion, Tex will complain to the Great PI In The Sky during the [[Have a Nice Death]] sequence how unfair it is, and then receive a second chance without needing to reload a save game.
