Meanwhile, the player character is their pilot who spends the whole game observing Moon and Tyson while never interacting with them, instead fighting giant alien monsters and malfunctioning robots on his / her own.

* AIIsACrapshoot: The stage where you search through burning wreckage have you unexpectedly attacked by robots from the debris, having survived the crash and activating to destroy everything in sight. A self-activating ChickenWalker serves as a reasonably difficult MiniBoss, and later you're swarmed by flying {{attack drone}}s.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: Most of the larger monsters have a blatant, glowing organ which is where you'll need to target to cause damage, including the Giant Spider boss. Just [[FeedItABomb feed it via Rocket Launcher]].
* BabiesEverAfter: Grant and Eva assumed they're well on their way back to earth after their brief Jupiter assignment. They didn't expect to be dragged into a wormhole and be stranded on an alien planet [[spoiler:3 billion years away from earth, where they'll inevitably spend a decade on and eventually have a child]]...
* BattleAmongstTheFlames: There's a stage where you're searching for parts in the flaming wreckage of a crashed spaceship, still alight, when giant insects starts appearing. The heat doesn't really affect gameplay, being in a space suit - the difficulty comes from poor visibility thanks to burning flames.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: If the hostile alien lifeforms aren't giant arachnids, they're some sort of oversized insects.
* BookEnds: The game begins with it's characters getting dragged into a wormhole that displaces them to the alien planet, and ends with them [[spoiler:entering another wormhole to leave]].
* ChickenWalker: A malfunctioning one serves as a MiniBoss when you explore the wreckage. And then [[spoiler:other alien colonists decides to drop their own walking mecha into the planet]]...
* ComingInHot: In the opening prologue, when the player character, Grant and Eva crashes on the alien planet's surface. They survive, but the ship is heavily damaged and they have to spend the remaining game scavenging supplies for repair.
* CreepyCave: There's a subterranean cave underneath the alien world, where everything seems quiet at first... until giant insects starts digging from beneath the soil.
* DeathWorld: The entire planet you, Grant and Eva are trapped in. Barren and devoid of vegetation, and infested with assorted giant arachnids, and [[spoiler:800,000 lightyears away from earth]].
* DeadlyDustStorm: After crashing, the first thing you need to survive against is a sandstorm. Being a VR game, you can ''experience'' how it's like stranded in a sandstorm from the comfort of your bedroom!
* DerelictGraveyard: One of the stages, the remains of a previously-crashed space station who probably got onto the hostile planet with circumstances similar to you and the main characters, but they didn't quite make it alive.
* DespairEventHorizon: This is Eva's reaction, after a moment of HeroicBSOD, when Grant reveals to her that [[spoiler:earth is 3 billion years away]].
--> '''Eva''': Get away from me!
* DestructibleProjectiles: One of the alien insect variety (and the only one with a ranged attack) can shoot a glowing green poisonous glob from a distance, but the globs can be shot from a distance before it hits. The giant spider boss uses this attack, but three globs at a time.
* DistressCall: Grant and Eva spend most of the game's first half trying to obtain parts in order to trigger one of these and be rescued from the alien world, but then Grant reveals the futility of their mission when [[spoiler:it turns out the planet is too far away from earth anyways]].
* GiantSpider: Most of the monsters on the hostile world Grant and Eva are stranded in resembles oversized arachnids, including a KingMook spider larger than a ship ou fought in a valley.
* GrenadeLauncher: One of the better weapons for clearing an area of giant insects.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: The pilot and escort to Eva and Grant, who's always clad in a spacesuit that conceals his identity so we never even know his (?) gender, ethnicity, and relevant information. He is in fact the [[spoiler:PlayerCharacter]].
* HeavilyArmoredMook: The [[ToughBeetles beetle-spider]] hybrid enemies, who tanks far more hits than regular bugs and keeps coming, even after being blasted with the rockets or grenade launcher. This enemy type tends to appear in dark areas, like subterranean levels, though a good idea is to aim for it's head behind it's ''huge'' legs.
* {{Hologram}}: When Grant and Eva communicate with each other, they manifest as life-sized holograms.
* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:After the purple energy vortex hits where Grant, Eva and their toddler daughter is, the game leaves it ambiguous on what happened... until the second TimeSkip, where you encounter their now-teenaged daughter. It turns out she survived, but her parents doesn't]].
* LaserSight: On the futuristic rocket launcher, allowing you to target enemies from a distance easier.
* NoNameGiven: Your character isn't given a name, despite plenty of focus on the two NPC Grant and Eva. [[spoiler:Neither does their daughter have a name, at least not onscreen]].
* OnePersonBirthdayParty: Well, ''two'', but Eva decides to celebrate Grant's b-day (with a cake from out of nowhere), with just the duo on a deserted alien world after realizing [[spoiler:they'll likely never see planet Earth forever]].

* PlasmaCannon: One of the weapons Grant can use, which blasts green plasma at enemies. It's simply called "Plasma Rifle" in-game.
* SpikeShooter: The Spike Launcher, one of the last weapons available.
* SupportingProtagonist: In a way - you're the main POV character the game follows, but Grant and Eva's interaction and subsequent relationship is what forms the main plot of the game.

* TimeSkip: The game somehow managed to throw '''two''' lengthy, decade-long one. First skip occurs two-third through the game, after [[spoiler:Eva accepts that she will never be able to see earth, ever after. She then settles down with Grant, and after the skip they're raising their young toddler daughter on the alien planet]]. And then [[spoiler:Eva and Grant were unceremoniously vaporized by an energy field, with a second skip leading to meeting their now-teenaged daughter]].
* TransplantedHumans: [[spoiler:Grant and Eva, two humans stranded on an unspecified alien planet for over a decade, eventually have a daughter after deciding to settle down right there]].

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: [[spoiler:More than halfway into the game, Grant reveals to Eva - with a sad, depressed, hopeless tone in his voice - that the alien world is one of the farthest known stars from Earth, located some 800,000 lightyears away. And the journey back home would take 3 billion years, where even ''if'' they do make it back to Earth, humans would be long extinct]].
