* EvilInc: They're a unique example of this. Most of the corporate evil in the system is largely explainable by HanlonsRazor, with a mix of idiocy and short-sighted greed. Auntie Cleo's are ''not'' idiots. [[spoiler: They've come to the rational conclusion that their workers are going to starve to death anyway, and intend to make as much profit off of their deaths as possible]].

In the meantime, they don't kill their employees randomly or out of incompetence; they murder under-performing divisions to encourage the survivors.

* OneHundredPercentCompletion: Given the extremely narrow narrative window the player has to interact with this faction, the opportunities to cozy up to Auntie Cleo's are extremely slim. It can be outright impossible to max out reputation with them if the player either steals any of their research to pawn off to Gladys, or even if they just explore Roseway thoroughly without interacting with Crane first to get the context of the place since he'll be the one to tell you that killing the raptidons in their research facilities will not endear you to his employers.

* TheRival: Supposedly to Spacer's Choice, but it's rather one-sided on the latter's part as Auntie Cleo's is a respected brand whose mascot, despite her advanced age, ''doesn't'' creep potential customers out.

Added DiffLines:

* MadScientist: Subverted. It's mentioned earlier that crops imported from Earth do exist in the system, so it would appear that their insistence on trying to mine some utility out of the hostile and uncooperative flora and fauna of Halcyon is the company either being filled with these or corner-cutting cheapskates. [[spoiler:The endgame reveals that this is done out of desperation rather than decadence, as not only are the Earth crops warped by Halcyon soil, but humans can barely ingest any nutrition from the system's plantlife.]]


Added DiffLines:

* MilkmanConspiracy: Anton is initially positioned as a conceited twit who is disproportionally proud of his inane invention. [[spoiler:It transpires that he and his research provided a brief stopgap solution for the system's food crisis, which provides the Board a smidge more time for their last resort.]]

Added DiffLines:

* InSpiteOfANail: No matter if the player guarantees them safe passage out of the secret lab or not, muffled shouting and gunfire can still be heard once Porter exits the facility, because whether it be outlaws or the raptidons, he and his men find ''something'' to fight.

* PetTheDog: Evidently he kept trying to work the ‘blindness’ side-effect out of the new diet-toothpaste formula even when corporate was telling him he had different priorities. [[spoiler: If the player warns him that suppressing the appetites of workers who do hard manual labor can be potentially life-threatening, he seems genuinely mortified this hadn’t dawned on him.]]
