* Your first conversation with Amabel is likely a point of relief since her conversations wind up being akin to Red from ''Overture'', in that you now have an ally trying to help guide you through the horrors you're facing. This relief may wear out FAST when describing the virus's symptoms as she points out that "a feeling of deja vu" is one...and then not a minute later says again "a feeling of deja vu" as another symptom. It may seem slightly comical until the implication sets in that your new-found friend may not be someone willing to give you a hug when you meet up with her...
** This one is especially cruel for the fact that when you get to where she's supposed to be, you're attacked by a Tuurngait. As a result, her repeating "deja vu" sounds like a nasty case of {{Foreshadowing}}, until you kill her...and find she was still healthy all along! Was the earlier comment a {{Red Herring}} that Clarence capitalized on to fuel the hallucination? Or was that another part of the hallucination from Clarence all along? All you know is that your very last ally is dead at your feet, and you killed her.

* Clarence establishes his "You see what I WANT you to see..." ability pretty early on in the game, and while he only uses it a small handful of times over the course of the game, it does leave you feeling like you can't trust ANYTHING you see from that point on. How can you be sure that anything you're doing from then on is real or not?

* The encounters with Dr. Richard Eminiss. Already you know something is very...OFF...about the guy when he's giving you inhumanly detailed information, such as the time of his birth down to the millisecond, and from behind a locked door, no less. Otherwise, he seems at least semi-civil given he's willing to ''cut off his hand for you to proceed''. Once you get the saw to him, however, things get REALLY bad then...
** In fact, this example provides a question that isn't answered one way or another, and the implications aren't good either way: Was Eminiss almost completely overtaken by the infection when you met him? Or is the infection capable of rapidly overwhelming someone in mere moments?

* Lake Utuqaq. Huge underground lake that's frozen over, but isn't very solid. Step on the wrong spot, you fall through and die. Improperly balance yourself on the floating ice as you make your way across, you fall through and die. And just to heighten the rather unnerving atmosphere of the place, you find a WONDERFUL note nearby that details exactly how dying by falling into a frozen lake would feel just before you attempt to cross. You'll probably spend a LONG while here just trying to test the ice for fear of falling in.

** What's worse than that? The guy is still alive when you get to the storage area he's been holed up in. You can clearly hear him breathing heavily behind the door you can't open, but you can't do anything about it as you continue on and get the item you came for. However, once you are mere feet from the hatch back up to the storerooms, that's when you hear banging, vicious growls, and the man getting hauled away. No explanation or sighting of what got him, though most believe it to be the mutated Overseer Frisk.
*** And a final point: this happens JUST before you get to the hatch to climb back up....you were mere seconds from being made lunch yourself...
*** And a final point: this happens JUST before you get to the hatch to climb back up....you were mere seconds from being made lunch yourself...
** Actually, even when you're traversing the Refinery, Red asks that you bring "something to the party" and comments on how hungry he is that he could eat a stallion. But then comments that ponies are hard to find, followed by ''casually commenting that man meat is bland'' before asking you to find a rat for him. The simple casual tone of voice with which he says this can slip by almost innocuously that you may miss it, but once you hear it, the horror of what he's saying really hits home. Makes you wonder if he'd consider eating Philip if he came without any food to offer were it not for the ending...

** The fact that there's large tunnels all over the mines really drives home one solid point about them too: there is NO safe place to be as they'll find you even if you barricade yourself in somewhere that the dogs and spiders can't get to, as proven by the sealed lab.
* The sealed lab where the Rockworms were being studied. The tense, atmospheric music already has you on the edge of your seat, but there isn't any threats once you break into the lab proper. Quick look around, minor puzzle to get into the room next door, nothing out of the ordinary....until you flip the light switch and turn on the ultraviolet light to see the walls '''COVERED''' in mad scribbling. The [[ScareChord Scare Chord]] that plays at the moment you flip the switch is sure to give you a heart attack the first time.
