* {{Foreshadowing}}: The names of the three realms (Curievale, Juleston, St. Andrew) hint at who created them. [[spoiler:They were created by Andrew Carnegie, Marie Curie and Jules Verne (along with Karl Marx, Nikola Tesla and Konstantin Tsiolkovsky) as part of a giant spaceship meant to carry future generations of humans to a new world.]]

** When the Mentor talks about meeting Turner for the first time, she says, "I wish you could remember and yet I am glad you do not." [[spoiler:This hints at the fact that she is not just talking to you but about you.

* SchizoTech: It's subtle, because the different layers of technology are well integrated and built in the same architectural style, but the Realms contain technology of very different levels of advancement, with such things as an archaic coal power plant, an intricate walking mech, and a series of teleportation pods all functioning together with common purpose. The final segment of the game is more obvious: [[spoiler: as you progress through the Crew section of the Atelis, you find first computers reminiscent of the real-world 1960s, then a futuristic ship's bridge that wouldn't look out of place in ''Series/StarTrek''.]]

* EverybodysDeadDave: This appears to be the case throughout the three realms since the only person you encounter is the Mentor who is also dead and appears in the form of some kind of holographic ghost or spirit.

[[spoiler:However, there is enough evidence through the game that the surviving keepers are simply in cryogenic stasis.]]



* TricksterMentor: Right at the start, the Mentor flat-out tells you that she will lie to you.
