** Arek vanishes sometime between communicating with Albert in Marcin's room and Albert reaching his office. Unlike Karolina, the game more or less forgets about him after Albert leaves his office.

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Twice! About 1/3rd of the way through the game, [[spoiler:Albert escapes the vault and makes it to the surface, where he goes from battling mutated vault survivors to fighting [[Film/MadMax the surface-dwelling post-apocalyptic armies of Lord Humongous]] Then, after escaping the cannibals and the fake city, he reaches the real surface, and spends the rest of the game fighting more mutants, ghosts, and the Saboteur]].

* IAteWHAT: When Albert meets the friendly surface dwellers, they offer him some food. [[spoiler:While he's gorging himself, he notices a hand hidden under a sheet of paper on the table and finds a mutilated corpse in the next room]].

%% FakeTown: [[spoiler:The entire city on the "surface" turns out to be an even larger underground vault, built as a testing ground.]]

* AdrenalineMakeover: [[spoiler: After a few hours on the surface, Albert ditches his vault uniform for a Film/MadMax-style outfit taken from the surface survivors.]]

* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: About 1/3rd of the way through the game, [[spoiler: Albert escapes the vault and makes it to the surface, where he goes from battling mutated vault survivors to fighting [[Film/MadMax the surface-dwelling post-apocalyptic armies of Lord Humongous]]]]. Mutants return to prominence in the last several chapters of the game, however.

** [[spoiler: Albert Himself at the end, awaiting a punishment unknown to him as the Colonel has already made it to Fist and is observing his interview with Fist's security.]]

* BoringButPractical: The humble Fire-fighter's Axe is one of the most reliable melee weapons in the game. A little slow but plenty of power, defence and reach.

* InformedAttribute: Albert's said to be a smart and a good therapist, but constantly says that the ''mutated, murderous humans'' menacing him are just people suffering "confinement syndrome", and he's [[JerkAss obnoxiously confrontational]].

* JerkAss: Albert Tokaj himself, having a sense of smug superiority that never quite leaves. It's to the point that somebody who is sure they're hearing children's voices in the tunnel won't admit it because it'd land him in therapy with Tokaj.

A sequel, ''Afterfall: Reconquest'', was released on UsefulNotes/{{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.

In early 2015, it was discovered that developer Nicolas Games had illegally used Unreal Engine assets to create ''Insanity''. The resultant backlash, which included a disastrous lawsuit, ultimately led to Nicolas Games declaring bankruptcy and both ''Insanity'' and ''Reconquest'' being pulled from distributors due to its illegal engine use.
