Ambiguous Disorder has been renamed and now belongs in YMMV.


* AmbiguousDisorder: Sarah is driven by a need to plan literally every moment of her life and is overcome with anxiety if too big a plan gets cancelled on too short a notice. Matthew Leads, meanwhile, suffers from depression, panic attacks, and may even have [[spoiler:a split personality]] but due to [[JustifiedTrope the cost of mental health care in America,]] has been unable to ever seek diagnosis, let alone ongoing treatment or proper medication.



* ButtMonkey: Sarah, Beanie, and Glasses are the only characters who don't treat Leads with unwarranted disdain or hostility. He also gets into an impressive array of mishaps just going about his every day duties at the base.

Comment out a ZCE. He "creates one" is meaningless, you have to state what is the "one" he create and why it's Apocalyptic Log.


* ApocalypticLog: Season 1 as a whole, but in-universe Matthew knowingly creates one [[spoiler:for Gina in Episode 11, as he knows he is unlikely to survive doing what he has to do in order to get the station's power back on.]]

* BodyHorror: An attack by some kind of monstrous creature leaves [[spoiler:Leads]] with what is apparently some kind of bottomless ''mouth'' [[spoiler:in the center of his forehead.]]


Added DiffLines:

* FeatheredFiend: Leads won't say much about whatever came [[spoiler:with the eclipse,]] but has mentioned it having a beak and feathers.


Added DiffLines:

* HopeSpot: [[spoiler:Episode 11 finds a critically injured Leads trapped in the base with the power off and the temperature rapidly dropping. After a series of ordeals he manages to reach and activate the base's emergency generator. Relieved, he now thinks his problems are over and he will get to go home. The episode ends a few seconds later in a way that implies that no, none of that is going to happen.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ItCanThink: While trying to reach and repair the generator, Leads has a confrontation with what's been antagonizing him. [[spoiler:He is able to talk it into backing down by explaining that if he dies, it too will die from the cold. The creature seems to understand and allows Leads to continue on his way.]]


Added DiffLines:

* PostCreditsScene: [[spoiler:Episode 11]] has one.


Added DiffLines:

* ThroughTheEyesofMadness: A constant question at least from Episode 9 onward, but Matthew openly ponders it himself in episode 11, wondering if [[spoiler:he is hallucinating and the mouth-like orifice in his forehead is just an ordinary cut.]]
* TitleDrop: Happens at the end of episode 11: ''Slip'', in the most literal way possible [[spoiler:with Leads slipping and falling off a ladder to either his death or very serious injury.]]

* EerieArcticResearchStation: Station Blue, with its bizarre door and seemingly inhuman entities that may or may not be wandering its corridors, is even eerier than most.


Added DiffLines:

* HellIsThatNoise: Often heard during scene changes is an ominous droning noise similar to an airplane engine. It is used to signal transitions in the narrative, but it is implied that Matthew can hear this sound too. In episode 10, ''Intruder'' it is confirmed that the noise is [[spoiler:coming from the door.]]

''Station Blue'' is a isolation horror audio drama written, directed, and principally performed by Chad Ellis, launched in late December of 2017. ''Station Blue'' tells the story of Matthew Leads (Ellis): an aimless young drifter who has just taken a job that he feels sure will finally be what helps him get his life together. A loner by nature, Leads thinks that his new job as caretaker of a scientific research facility deep in Antarctica will be the perfect occupation for him. But almost as soon as he settles in, Leads can tell that there's something off about the empty base. And that feeling only deepens as he discovers an ominous looking door deep in the heart of the base that has a security camera focused on it at all times despite Leeds supposedly being there all alone...

* CosmicHorror: [[spoiler:The title of ''Eclipse'' refers to ''something'' that's apparently [[HumanoidAbomination shaped like a human body]] in the sky and ''blocking out the sun.'']] Although given the [[ThroughTheEyesOfMadness mental state]] of the only witness to this event, it perhaps cannot be taken at face value.
