A hacker might replace parts of his brain with a computer, a swordsman might install a large artificial adrenalin gland near their heart and tear out their nervous system for a much more complex circuit board, a gunman might have their limbs replaced with hi-tech prostheses, et cetera.

* SelfDamagingAttackBackfire: When you fail a hack, there is always a slim possibility that your brain will be fried by the firewall, resulting in instant death regardless of how many resurrectors you had. Using [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique dangerous psychic abilities]] has a chance to [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity drive you insane]], kill you, or give you [[ScarsAreForever permanent trauma]]. Excessive use of the [[HealThyself medkit]] before it has time to regenerate can give you tainted medicine (though you get an achievement for [[UnfriendlyFire killing an ally with this]]).

* AllJustADream: [[spoiler: After killing Rimanah and examining the "artifact" regardless of your decision near the end of the game, you're awake and discover that there is no such thing as "Mentor" and "Rimanah". Then there is the objective marker to the same "artifact" you examine before you're awake. Then you're back at the dream gate... and the [[NewGamePlus game loops back]], allowing you to unlock the other route and gate ability]].



* CrapsackWorld: More like Crapsack Universe. Virtually every humanity's figures of authority are vying for power against each other despite the world was threatened by extradimensional beings and [[HumanoidAbomination Humanoid Abominations]]. Those that didn't affiliate with the aforementioned figures of authority form the Looter, who indulge themselves with drugs, illicit substance trading, and alcohol.



* HumanoidAbomination: The Synicles, which looks like veiled (but wearing a revealing coat) woman. They didn't speak (except one non-hostile instance later in the game) and will gun down everyone except their own regardless of afiliation. One easily missable dialogue from one of the EYE member said that The Synicle is a metastreumonic projection of the wife of a past EYE commander who was murdered by her own husband.



* TomatoInTheMirror: While the truth behind the game's plot is very obtuse, the general fan consensus seems to be that you're actually [[spoiler: Commander Rimanah himself, who murdered his wife (Circe) and ended up in a Purgatorial endless repeating cycle as a result. This interpretation seems to be supported by the Steam achievement you get for obtaining the "true" ending.]]

** The powers become a lot less lethal when you combine them: hitting an enemy with Hypnotic Gate makes him easy pickings for the Triangular Gate (which is too dangerous to use without a reasonable guarantee you'll hit), and if you've hit him with the Substitution Gate before that you'll instantly regain all your health and sanity too. [[WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs Opinions differ on whether or not this has some connection to the overarching story.]]

''E.Y.E.: Divine Cybermancy'' is [[CoOpMultiplayer cooperative]] FPS/RPG by Streum On Studio, with a distinct everything-but-the-kitchen-sink sci-fi flavor. Taking notes from nearly every work of CyberPunk literature and incorporating classic brutal roleplaying techniques. You play as a member of an ancient demon-fighting cult, the E.Y.E., who was afflicted with LaserGuidedAmnesia and must remember why he was sent on the mission that gave him his amnesia. Along the way you uncover more and more about the incredibly complex backstory and the internal struggle of E.Y.E between his own faction - the Culter Dei - and the Jian Shang Di.

* AbsentAliens: In an odd variant of the trope, there ''are'' aliens, other than the Meta-Streumic Force - just not present at all in the game. [[BlindIdiotTranslation The poor translation]] of the backstory, readable in the library, apparently had a war spring between a humanoid race, indistinguishable from humans, aside from their third eye, and the humans themselves, after a series of misunderstandings. However, the war was quickly quashed when the mistake was realized.



* AnachronismStew: An incredibly strange variant. The game's style is an anachronism of a plethora of sci-fi classics, from ''TheMatrix'' (referenced by name even), ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}, VideoGame/{{Fallout}}, Franchise/GhostInTheShell'', and a backstory ''Series/{{Lost}}'' would be proud of.
** The weapons take this further: advanced firearms coexist side-by-side with [[DropTheHammer war hammers]] and [[KatanasAreJustBetter katanas]]. And those firearms are considered ancient tech!

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Sergeants, Colonels, and Generals are all tougher than regular Mooks, especially if they're Federation Special Forces or E.Y.E. operatives. The toughest non-boss human enemies in the game are E.Y.E. Masters (including [[spoiler: Your Mentor, the Four Pillars, and Huan]]), who are almost unbeatable unless you have armor-piercing weapons to bypass their subdermal armor. Then there's FinalBoss [[spoiler: Commander Rimanah]], who's several times tougher than even the boss-level Masters and can create 2 to 3 times as many Psi Clones as normal, all of whom are equipped with heavy weapons instead of normal ones.

Then there are rival E.Y.E. operatives, especially the Master-level ones who have powerful subdermal armor that can absorb multiple full magazines from any non-armor-piercing weapon, and will use Psi Clone to create a handful of weak clones of themselves to aide them in combat.
