* FesteringFungus: The Black Snow seems to be a [[AddedAlliterativeAppeal predatory, parasitic, pathogenic and possibly paranormal]] species of fungus that flourishes in dark environments of any sort but is repelled by any visible light. There are two variants of the fungus: stationary masses spread throughout the station, which are extremely harmful to the touch but easily avoided, and a more mobile, aggressive swarm of spores taking the form of a ghost-like cloud of black, wispy vapors.

* BerserkBoardBarricade: You'll come across a few boarded over doors meant to keep the Black Snow contained. In one case, you'll find a researcher who boarded themselves ''in their own room'' to keep the Black Snow out.

* UnseenEvil: ''Someone'' massacred the sled dogs, and it seems unlikely to be the Black Snow, given that whoever did it used both a harpoon gun and some sort of decapitation tool. You might think the dog handler did it as a MercyKill, but there are no weapons near his body and the method seems way too brutal. Other discrepancies you run across include your team leader seemingly dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound despite no gun being near his body. This all culmulates in you discovering the comms tower has been bobbytrapped with C4 by an unknown party.

* RunOrDie: This is the only option you have against the Black Snow, but this only a temporary solution because it's actually ''faster'' than you. Light is the only effective way to stave it off.

* DownerBeginning: The entire researchers are all dead and Matsuda's team is killed off mere hours into their assignment, leaving him to face the horrors of the station alone. This is the game's ''starting point''.

* DeadlyGas: Maybe. The more mobile, aggressive variant of the Black Snow takes the appearance of black, wispy vapors that quickly traverse the darkness and are extremely harmful to the touch, but its exact nature is unknown.



* ShoutOut: The dog kennel is a perfect recreation of the one from ''Film/TheThing1982''. Given that said movie was one of the major influences...

* ShoutOut: The dog kennel is game isn't shy about being a perfect recreation love letter to John Carpenter's ''Film/TheThing1982'', using the isolation and oppressive atmosphere of the one from ''Film/TheThing1982''. Given that said movie was one of cold as big nods to the major influences...film. There's even a bloody dog kennel!
