** Although the audio clips are not counted in the list of Things, it's necessary to find all of the clips to make all of the Things available to find in the maps.


Added DiffLines:

* ContemplateOurNavels: Throughout the game, the player can listen to audio clips of presentations by Alan Watts on the nature of existence. Combined with the opportunity to let the game play itself, the player can choose to kick back and listen to the speeches.


Added DiffLines:

* NewSkillAsReward: Experiencing more of the game gradually unlocks new abilities, such as changing size and making duplicates.


Added DiffLines:

* ShapeshifterModeLock: A downplayed example where once you become a new Thing, you need to move around or otherwise interact with the world for a time before you're allowed to swap to a new Thing. Later in the game, this restriction is removed.

Added DiffLines:

* AcidTripDimension: Ascending above the galaxy level or below the microscopic level leads to a quantum hyperspace of abstract shapes and kaleidoscopic camera effects. [[spoiler:There's also the Golden Gate, a psychedelic hellscape of anxious thoughts, misplaced technology, glitches and paradoxes. Its two planes contain each other all the way down, so the only way to leave is to literally clear your mind by erasing every Thought you've collected.]]


Added DiffLines:

* IndieGame: Developed and published by David O'Reilly (though PLAYISM published the game in Japan).


Added DiffLines:

* StylisticSuck: The animation for living Things is nonexistent, as if their models have no rigging whatsoever. Insects wobble side to side while their legs remain stationary, and larger land-bound creatures somersault wherever they go.

* AlienLandmass: The game allows players to visit alien worlds with purple grass, green skies, and giant fungi in the shape of trees, among other things.
* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Late in the game, you gain the ability to make the character you control change size at will. Combine this with the ability to change into anything you've been before, and never before has the "Whatever" part fit so well.
* EldritchLocation: The area [[spoiler:within the Golden Gate]] could certainly qualify; it seems to consist of [[spoiler:random objects and entities from all different scales of the universe, which have attempted to enter the Gate in order to achieve their desires but have become trapped and bitter. The only way to leave this realm is to empty your mind, and simply being in the dimension starts to [[InterfaceScrew cause the game to give you strange messages (such as "You will be here forever" if you try to Ascend out) and prevents you from looking at the "Things" menu]].]]

* SimulationGame
* WrapAround: While not easy to notice at first, almost every "area" in the game is small and wraps around in all directions, with galaxy interiors being the only exception. It's easier to notice if you play as a massive object and then travel in a straight line, and note how the other objects and their placements repeat.

RecursiveReality: One of the Things in the game is the Everything Game, which is a computer workstation that [[DrosteImage displays the player's current game view on the monitor]].
* SimulationGame: Each map is an arrangement of Things, with animate ones wandering the map according to their own logic. You can even leave the controls alone for a few seconds to let the game play itself.
* WrapAround: While not easy to notice at first, almost every "area" map in the game is small has a finite area and wraps around in all directions, with galaxy interiors being the only exception.
