** The Bazaar Between Time and A Moment, Fractured are probably the most straightforward examples, being [[PlaceOutOfTime outside of time]]. The former has small floating rocks and a giant, salamander-like creature that trades in strange coins and lets you "dream" to choose which area you'll get next, and the latter is a bunch of floating islands with wooden planks sticking out of them at odd angles, glowing rocks that suddenly appear when you stand in certain places, and a massive obelisk that allows you to wipe yourself from existence.

* DoubleUnlock: Jst like the first game, there are several items and skills that can only be unlocked using items or characters that also need to be unlocked.

* EldritchLocation: The ''Contact Light'' itself is noted by some of the item logs from survivors to be an extremely strange ship with millions of artifacts that have been in transit for decades.

* HyperspaceArsenal: Since there's no limit on the number of items you can carry at the same time, you can easily find yourself carrying ridiculous amounts of gear if you make it a point to open every chest you come across: it's entirely possible to end up carrying multiple copies of every item in the game if you keep replaying the levels long enough or abuse the Easter Egg area in the third level by endlessly killing the respawning boss.

* NonStandardGameOver: Ordinarily, the game doesn't have an ending as of yet, but [[spoiler: reaching Rallypoint Delta or Siren's Call after looping at least once and going through the celestial portal at the end leads to an obelisk that the players can interact with to obliterate themselves, which is necessary to unlock the Mercenary and nets an achievement the first time it's done. A later update also added a reward of 10 lunar coins for each obliteration.]]

* RegeneratingHealth: All characters are given this at the beginning to compensate for the inability to see every enemy and incoming attack in a 3D space. The Mercenary starts with the highest regeneration rate as well since he's currently the only dedicated melee survivor.

* AndYourRewardIsClothes: Getting to the Celestial Portal on Monsoon unlocks an alternate skin for the character you were playing.

* GodOfEvil: the logbook descriptions of the Wetlands Aspect, Ceremonial Dagger, and N'Kuhana's Opinion mention a being known as N'Kuhana, who seems to be some sort of death goddess and whose worshipers practice HumanSacrifice.

* ImprobableAccessoryEffect: While it's established than many items are magical, cursed, alien, or otherwise modified in a way, there's some that just don't make sense. A specific goat hoof that makes you move faster? Par for the course.

* NonStandardGameOver: Ordinarily, the game doesn't have an ending as of yet, but [[spoiler: reaching Rallypoint Delta a second time and going through the celestial portal at the end leads to an obelisk that the players can interact with to obliterate themselves, which is necessary to unlock the Mercenary and nets an achievement the first time it's done. A later update also added a reward of 10 lunar coins for each obliteration.]]

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: The Bustling Fungus item gives you a potent health regenerating aura for you and allies provided you stand still for at least 2 seconds. On most characters, this is pretty useless, since standing still is pretty much a death sentence. However, it turns out to be fantastic on the Engineer, since his stationary turrets get copies of all of his items. The effects of overlapping fields do stack with each other, so you can have your turrets heal one another and anyone else who gets cozy with them in your BeehiveBarrier.

* AttackDrone: The player can use gold to repair robot drones that will fly around the player and shoot any enemy in range. Unlike the first game, you cannot repair destroyed drones.

* ShockandAwe: Blue enemies have an electrical aura which causes damage to the survivor if they're close enough. The Tesla Coil gives this power to the survivor, and the Ukulele makes their shots do the same

* VictorGainsLoser'sPowers: Some of the rarer item drops you can get off of defeated bosses appear to be actual chunks or organs from the bosses themselves. Naturally, these give you abilities similar to the respective boss it was acquired from. There's also an item that makes it so that the player briefly gains the powers of any elites they kill.

* NonStandardGameOver: Ordinarily, the game doesn't have an ending as of yet, but [[spoiler: reaching Rallypoint Delta a second time and going through the celestial portal at the end leads to an obelisk that the players can interact with to obliterate themselves, which is necessary to unlock the Mercenary and nets an achievement the first time it's done.]]

** The Hopoo Feather returns, grantin an extra jump per stack.

* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: The Bustling Fungus item gives you a potent health regenerating aura for you and allies provided you stand still for at least 2 seconds. Sounds counter-intuitive in a game that punishes you for standing still however this effect applies to the Engineer's turrets too! The aura from all sources of Bustling Fungus stacks so you can have your turrets heal one another and anyone else who gets cozy with them in your BeehiveBarrier.

* NecessaryDrawback: Lunar items, because they can be purchased with Lunar coins earned across any run and have really good effects, also come with hefty penalties to balance them out.

* RegeneratingHealth: All characters are given this at the beginning to compensate for the inability to see every enemy and incoming attack in a 3D space. The Mercenary starts with the highest regen rate as well since he's currently the only dedicated melee survivor.
