* TheAllegedCar: Or more specifically, the alleged ''submarine''. The ''Iron Lung'' is a tiny, rust bucket of a submarine that really isn't suited to exploring bodies of water at the depth required. It has been cobbled together from space station parts left over by the quiet rapture, but is currently the best the researchers have to work with. Because the sub can't really handle the pressure, the player is welded in and the only window is sealed over, forcing them to rely on coordinates, sonar and a cruddy camera to navigate. Even then, the damn thing starts getting leaks late in the game. Oh, and that fire extinguisher is on the wall for a good reason too.

Added DiffLines:

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: When you go into small alcoves that require near-perfect maneuvering to reach and take several minutes, after you've taken the relevant picture, ''something'' will bump you and throw you back to an open area in a second. In addition to removing the boring return journey, the bump and sudden relocation will scare the pants off of you the first time it happens.

* AmbiguousSituation: The entirety of the game is based around this, given that it's never explained if the habitable planets and all the stars suddenly ceased to exist during the "Quiet Rapture" or were taken to another dimension or somewhere far far away, as the name would potentially suggest. There's also the fact that it's stated that the blood oceans on the moons are made out of HUMAN blood, although it's unknown if it's "just" human blood with no actual owner, or if it's what happened to the humans on the habitable planets.
