* TheAmazon: John Mahlerbe first discovered the concept of revitalization through half-death, from an Indonesian tribe called the Kailigi, on an island off the coast of Sumatra. Their ceremony, "Kwala Seliki Hiatu", is what the Neurographicon was eventually based on, and which you partake in solving the ship's mysteries.

* GainaxEnding: It's never made clear if Claire Moon was rescued or not, as all we get is [[spoiler: a cutscene of the Neurographicon disappearing bit by bit, followed by the entire ship morphing into a bunch of icebergs in a similar vein to the people who caught up with death in their pods, cutting to a helicopter arriving.]] The fact that Matthew's Arctic exposure at the beginning left him mentally addled doesn't help.

* DistressCall: ''Herculania'' has a distress canister intended for rescuers to find, which strangely wasn't launched before it ran aground. Matthew can retrieve this canister for clues on how to get into the ship.

* BigScrewedUpFamily: Jan's family is this. His mother Belle, and supposed father Leo cared only for their own selfish interests, leaving Jan to be bullied by his caretaker and roommate at the Goodman Home for Boys. Even Claire Moon, one of the few nicest members, had to cope with both polio and Belle's overbearing personality. [[spoiler: Because of all this, Jan decided to [[AssholeVictim use them as fuel for his machine]], to heal Claire's disease in turn.]]

This game, released in 1998, is a first-person adventure game similar to Myst with a point and click interface. However, the player may also pan around a location by clicking and dragging the mouse. Clicking the mouse to go in a certain direction results in a transition video showing the player's movement.

* AllJustADream: [[spoiler: Implied by the ending, where ''Herculania'' morphs into the Arctic glaciers surrounding it, followed by a helicopter arriving. Doesn't help that Matthew's severe exposure left him hallucinating from the beginning.]]

Initially released as a 3-CD game, the remnants of the development team have since rereleased it as a [[https://soapbubble.itch.io/morpheus free web-based port]].



* AllJustADream: Matthew goes back and forth thinking that's what his adventure really is, not helped by prolonged exposure to arctic weather.
