renamed to Clone Angst, don't list aversions

* TakeThat
** Prodigy Children as a whole are a big TakeThat to parents who want their children to pursue the "right" goals in life and consider art degrees useless.
** On the other hand, the game pulls no punches on [[TrueArtIsIncomprehensible pretentious artists]] either, most notably during [[spoiler:the dungeon sequence.]]
** Towards the end there is a massive TakeThat to pay-to-win games and developers who release crucial content as [=DLCs=]. [[spoiler: Paradigm has to scam somebody out of her money to buy a DLC that allows him to fight Olof.]]

Up To Eleven is a defunct trope


* RadiationImmuneMutants: At least half of the cast is horribly mutated from all the nuclear waste stored underneath Krusz, but they seem to be doing fine otherwise. The cupcake salesperson in particular takes this trope UpToEleven - she has become so accustomed to radiation that she actually needs it to survive - she's breathing pure plutonium.

* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: Apple Head and the other [[spoiler:reject Prodigy Children]] definitely seem to think so. If Paradigm asks her what true art is, she responds with an incoherent growl and notes that true artists have moved beyond human language.

** If you ask the DUPA scientist how to defeat the oppressive government, he will suggest [[Film/FightClub using car bombs to blow up the headquarters of the most prominent credit card companies]], but quickly backtracks and says you probably shouldn't do that.

* LoserProtagonist: It often lampshaded that Paradigm as a person is rather slovenly, lazy, ill-tempered, not altogether that bright, and have some really weird preferences.
-->'''Paradigm:''' What else do you know about me?\\
'''Rebel Leader:''' Other than the fact you're a self-loathing loser who can't handle criticism and never follows through with his goals? Not to mention whose internet viewing habits would make long-time fetishists gag.\\
'''Paradigm:''' ...You know, I was hoping for a more fun answer.
