History VideoGame / AfterfallInsanity

* DrivenToSuicide: Marcin after discovering the identity of the saboteur... or so it seems.
* EverybodysDeadDave: [[spoiler: The contamination quickly spreads to the rest of the vault; almost everyone is turned into an insane maniac except Albert, Karolina, and the Colonel and some of his men. The Colonel outright blames Albert for wiping out most of what's left of the human race. On the plus side, it turns out there is at least one other vault out there, "Fist", and the surface is also occupied by survivors as well (albeit not particularly hospitable ones).]]

* {{MST}}: Done by the [[WebVideo/{{Retsupurae}}]] duo.

* AssholeVictim: Remember those two guards who were supposed to help Albert with investigating the contamination? You left them behind and then you have a chance of hearing them dying. It would be easier to feel sorry for them if they hadn't brought it on themselves[[spoiler: - especially the one who got tranquilized by Albert for killing one of the "crazies"]].

* ClearMyName: Albert ends up taking the blame for the sabotage that results in the vault's devastation; however, he quickly goes from "clear my name" to "kill every authority figure in the vault to save my ass" ([[spoiler: an early hint that he's secretly a much darker individual than it initially appears)]].

* TheDreaded: Albert is a mild example (either that, or, an acknowledged {{Jerkass}}). One of the notes scattered around the shelter mentions that the author will not dare to tell anyone he heard children in the tunnels... because that would land him in therapy with Tokaj.

* LeftHanging: The game hints that something much larger is going on ([[spoiler: what with the mysterious research notes about "combat testing" the vault inhabitants, and the revelation that the city on the "surface" is actually a testing ground built inside an even larger vault]]), but never fully explains it.

* NerdActionHero: Albert is supposedly a psychotherapist and a pharmacologist, so you'd expect him to be either a ScienceHero or, at most, a BadassBookworm. Instead, his more "brainy" skills end up mostly as an InformedAbility, while he spends most of his time beating the crap out of crazies, mutants and shelter gurads without breaking a sweat. This includes taking down elite "hussar" guards - using improvised melee weapons against their assault rifles.

* BlandProductName: Pall Fall cigarettes.

* ObviousBeta[=/=]ObviousRulePatch: The game had quite a few technical issues and problems with the combat system, which were ironed out in the Extended Edition release.

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The Colonel looks like a clone of Józef Piłsudski, the authoritarian Polish [[JustTheFirstCitizen head of state]] during the Interbellum.

An "Extended Edition" of the game was released in mid 2012 for Xbox Live, and released on Steam as part of their greenlit games project in early December 2012. The Extended Edition features more areas and a vastly improved combat system, although the plot itself is not expanded upon.

A sequel, ''Afterfall: Reconquest'', was released on {{Steam}} under the Early Access program in 2014. ''Reconquest'' is more action-oriented than ''Insanity'', and is planned to be released in an episodic format.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Albert's love interest, Karolina, successfully escapes the vault and eventually runs into Albert on the surface, but the two are separated and she never shows up again.

* TomatoInTheMirror: Although Albert never manages to fully realize it, [[spoiler: it turns out that ''he'' was the villain responsible for destroying "Glory"; the saboteur was a ''FightClub''-style hallucination[=/=]split-personality he created inside his head that was indulging in his own darkest impulses, namely his resentment of the confined vault lifestyle as well as the absolute authority of the Colonel.]]

* XMeetsY: The game essentially has the gameplay and story elements of ''VideoGame/DeadSpace'' taking place in a ''[[{{Videogame/Fallout3}} Fallout 3]]''-type setting.

* MultiMookMelee: An arcade-like "survival mode" is available as a free DLC for the game on Steam, which consists of fighting waves of various enemies in an arena.

* NietzscheWannabe: The saboteur and his reasons for starting the outbreak definitely have this vibe.

* Foreshadowing: At the beginning of the game, Albert gets chewed out by the Colonel for being shiftless, chronically late, and with an overall bad work attitude. At first it just seems like an unreasonable, totalitarian authority figure picking on our overworked, underappreciated hero. This is reinforced later when the Colonel accuses Albert of sabotaging the vault, and Albert concludes that the Colonel is trying to frame him. [[spoiler: It turns out Albert really ''is'' an angry little man who hates and resents his life in the vault and the absolute authority of the Colonel, and manifested these suppressed emotions as a murderous split-personality that sabotaged and destroyed the vault.]]

''Afterfall: Insanity'' is a third-person, [[AlwaysOverTheShoulder over-the-shoulder]] Polish action-SurvivalHorror game released in 2011. It has been described as "the Polish ''DeadSpace'' meets ''[[{{Videogame/Fallout3}} Fallout 3]]''".

* MushroomSamba: Like in ''DeadSpace'', our hero is not entirely alright upstairs, and experiences disturbing hallucinations throughout the game.

* XMeetsY: The game essentially has the gameplay and story elements of ''DeadSpace'' taking place in a ''[[{{Videogame/Fallout3}} Fallout 3]]''-type setting.

An "Extended Edition" of the game was released in 2012, and greenlit for release on Steam, most likely some time in early 2013. The Extended Edition features more areas and a vastly improved combat system, although the plot itself is not expanded upon.

* DayHurtsDaryAdjustedEyes: When Albert finally reaches the [[spoiler: real]] surface, the sunlight is so blinding that you have to avoid direct sunlight or else the screen will completely white out. The sunlight also seems to cause Albert's insanity to going into complete overdrive, as he starts hallucinating being attacked by ghostly skeletal angels for most of the rest of the game.
