* ApocalypseHow: Universal scale, in progress when the game starts.

The game was centered around a large group of {{Human Popsicle}}s who find themselves with the unfortunate luck of waking up from their hibernation to find that the computers controlling their sleeping chambers have wildly malfunctioned, awakening them in the year 281,474,976,712,644 CE. To make matters worse, [[NaturalEndOfTime star formation is long over, black holes are everywhere, and the future universe is well on its way to the Big Rip.]]

''0x10[[superscript:c]]'' (pronounced "ten to the c", hexadecimal for 16[[superscript:12]], the number of years passed in-story since 1988) was a ScienceFiction [[SimulationGame space sim]] developed by Markus Persson (a.k.a "Notch", the man behind ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}''). It was later canceled following developer disinterest. Gameplay footage of a pre-alpha demo can be seen [[https://youtu.be/FUqeH2FH1dE here]].

What separates ''0x10[[superscript:c]]'' from other spaceship sims, apart from its lo-fi graphics, is its fully programmable 16-bit emulated computers. Notch anticipates a cottage industry springing up in which programmers develop software -- including games, graphical front-ends, and viruses -- for the in-game computers.

* ComputerVirus: The game will include computers that can be programmed and networked. It's inevitable.

* ExpendableAlternateUniverse: WordOfGod has stated that when killed, the PlayerCharacter and their CoolStarship respawn as alternate reality versions of themselves.

* MagicalComputer: ''0x10[[superscript:c]]'''s computers aren't ''too'' magical, but they're an enormously powerful tool within the gameworld capable of everything from automating ship functions to hacking into other ships to [[GameWithinAGame playing simple video games]].

* OurGraphicsWillSuckInTheFuture: Invoked. The game's graphics are low-poly and (apart from computer monitors and planets) untextured, with the intent to make the game look like the future circa the early '80s.

* CrapsackWorld: The game is set during the dying millenia of the universe.

* MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness: Notch has claimed the game would be as scientifically accurate as possible, but that the game focuses on fun and playability first and foremost.
