1* AnticlimaxBoss: It is quite possible to kill [[spoiler:Ejaro]], nominally the final boss of the contention ending, in one hit (provided you buff yourself and it is a critical). Of course, the real "final boss battle" was [[spoiler:Vastale]] a few minutes earlier.
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Most of the soundtrack, especially considering that this is an independently developed game.
3** The soundtrack, which was all composed for the game, can be listened to and bought [[http://vacantsky.bandcamp.com/album/vacant-sky-ost-sounds-of-contention here]].
4*** Auria's theme [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6V4ZBvi-WI Lie Your Way]], which is the ending theme of the first act, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krfu4Zfhigs Vagrant II]], the second boss theme of Weapon, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kAz1t2kP4c When I Die]], the main theme of act two and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWDaVIL_hQ0 A Story Alone]], the ending theme of the third act and the whole game.
5* BreatherLevel: After the extremely combat-heavy level 2 of the final dungeon, the third level contains absolutely no combat or puzzles. And in the Relinquish ending it leads right into the completely-empty final area and a bossless finale.
6* LesYay: Subtle hints between Auria and Vel.
7* PlayerPunch: ''Several''. One of the biggest ones must be the fact that [[spoiler: you can't save Noe during your first playthrough. If you try, you will fight Darxinger and lose, triggering a Bad Ending.]]
8* ThatOneBoss: The [[spoiler:double fight against the bandits]] in Act I was considered this by some players.
9* TheWoobie: Both Seri and Auria are in dire need of a hug by the end of Act III. Auria also reacts this way to someone she meets in Act II [[spoiler:(Mia)]].
10* {{Wangst}}: Auria, in spades.
11* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic: The level names/[[BossSubtitles subtitles]] in the final dungeon: [[spoiler:Attachment to Life, Attraction to Death (with Trials of Isolation, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance), Eternal Punishment and Contention Core]]. This does an excellent job of masking the true meaning of [[spoiler:the seals in Eternal Punishment]] until it's far too late.
