* BeautifulVoid: There are some truly breathtaking vista in this game, including the final hub area and [[spoiler:the reveal of the tower.]]
* {{Bizarrchitecture}}: Most of the chambers are way too huge to fit into the buildings that they're designed to fit in. It's not possible to draw a blueprint of each building without violating Euclidian geometry. A couple rooms show that you're clearly outdoors, but you can't see the rest of the building you just came from.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome: Nearly every room is based around one colour being visible.
* EasterEgg: There are a few hidden throughout the game, sometimes paired with the most difficult puzzles. [[spoiler: While one shows a video "revealing" Kairo as a giant coffee maker for Godzilla, most of them are world building: they show Earth in ruin and suggest the player character was an astronaut before being revived.]]

* {{Precursors}}: An alien script is found on the back of the starting point.
* TheReveal: [[spoiler: In-game architectural clues spell out that Kairo is a machine-planet designed to revive Earth in case of extinction. Images of disaster and an atlas of Earth give way to puzzles that once completed generate raw materials, water and even birds. The fact that Kairo is a giant box of puzzles is HandWaved by suggesting that if humanity really deserves a second chance, it has to earn it.]]
* RuinsForRuinsSake: The starting area is influenced by Greco-Roman architecture. This thread appears nowhere else in the game.

Added DiffLines:

** The game in general takes this route. The most noise you can expect to hear while playing is the whirring of mechanisms operating, the footsteps of the player character, the static of the occasional monitor/screen you come across, and the sudden and rather loud gong noise that sounds when you solve a puzzle.

Kairo is a world opened for exploration, seemingly completely void of all life except the player themselves - there are some strange floating runes to be found as well.
