-->--''Many believed that true utopia could never be achieved. They were right.''
-->'''P.A.M.E.L.A.'''

* ZombieApocalypse: There's one localized to [=EDEN=].

* TranquilizerDart: The Subverser weapon fires either poison, sleep, or enrage darts to cause various status effects on enemies. It can also be upgraded to fire "hollow" darts, which slow down an enemy and leave them more vulnerable to damage.

* EliteMooks: "Enraged" Afflicted have red skin and hit a lot harder than regular ones. Fortunately, they're not noticeably more durable.
* EquipmentBasedProgression: Getting stronger in this game consists of outfitting yourself with superior gear like armor, shield, weapons and gadgets, etc.

''P.A.M.E.L.A.'' is a SurvivalHorror ScienceFiction SurvivalSandbox game developed and published by [=NVYVE=] Studios. It was released for [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]] through UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} Early Access on March 9th, 2017, and was released in full on June 18th, 2020.

* BreakableWeapons: All of the equipment has durability, and items looted from Afflicted are likely to already be in a pretty bad shape. Luckily, items also get restored to brand new with repair kits.

* GoodOldFisticuffs: This is the player's only way to defend themselves before they find better weapons. Due to the limited ammo of ranged weapons and limited durability of melee weapons, fisticuffs will still be your primary means of defense for much of the game.

* HeavilyArmoredMook: Some of the Afflicted wear body armor.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The citizens of Eden have devolved into rage-crazed maniacs due to an unknown mutative contamination. The late-stage victims, known as Degenerated, are gaunt, almost skeletal in appearance and move haltingly due to much of their muscle and flesh being painfully converted into jagged solid bone. They can still punch and kick reasonably well, though. Early-stage victims, known as Afflicted, are fast and intelligent like normal humans, but homicidally insane due to extreme pain, and are even capable of using weapons if they were carrying one when succumbing to the infection.
* PowerFist: Warden's Fist is a straight upgrade to your basic melee.
* ThePlague: A disease spread through the city, and whoever didn't die from it now roams around, attacking anyone they see.

* SummonBiggerFish: As Seekers are initially neutral towards you, if you get attacked by particularly dangerous Afflicted you can try to retreat and lure them near a Seeker so it can handle them for you.

In the once-utopian futuristic city of [=EDEN=], a horrible disease has spread. Much of the population is either dead... or worse. The [=AI=] that once oversaw the city, P.A.M.E.L.A., has awoken you, a Sleeper. Now it's your job to try and survive the fallen city and its infected populace, and find out what brought the disease that brought [=EDEN=] to its knees.

* BadassAbnormal: Reapers and Widows are citizens of Eden who were genetically engineered with enhanced physical attributes to help fulfill special city duties. After being infected, they're now much more dangerous and even more psychotic than regular inflicted.

* BossInMooksClothing: Reapers and Widows are ''considerably'' tougher and more dangerous than standard inflicted, and can likely kill you effortlessly unless you're well equipped. Seekers can still handle them quite competently, though. Revenants are likewise extremely dangerous, and can also summon Shades to back them up.
* BreakableWeapons: All of the equipment has durability, and items looted from inflicted are likely to already be in a pretty bad shape. Luckily, items also get restored to brand new with repair kits.

* HeavilyArmoredMook: Some of the inflicted wear body armor.

* LuckBasedMission: Item spawns are completely random, unlike most of the games ''P.A.M.E.L.A.'' draws inspiration from, so how long it takes you to obtain basic equipment like armor[=/=]shields or even a weapon are completely up to chance. Thankfully your basic fists are sufficient to deal with the lower-tier inflicted, though you'll have to run away from anything tougher until you're better equipped.

* MeleeATrois: Besides yourself, Eden has various factions of inhabitants which are all hostile towards each other. The zombie-like Inflicted and nanite-possessed Geists are hostile towards each other as well as the player, and the city's Security robots will do their best to manage the infestations, but will also attack the player if they witness a crime being committed.

* RandomlyDrops: You get randomised loot from the inflicted and other opponents. Thus, it's possible to get pretty high
* SummonBiggerFish: As Seekers are initially neutral towards you, if you get attacked by particularly dangerous inflicted you can try to retreat and lure them near a Seeker so it can handle them for you.

* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: If your current Sleeper dies, you'll respawn as a fresh Sleeper in one of Eden 52's four cryo bays. However, you have to retrieve your lost inventory and cash from your corpse, and whatever killed you has a good chance of still hanging around your body.

* BeefGate: For much of the early game, fighting a Reaper or Widow, or even multiple Afflicted (fast zombies), is suicidal, and you'll have to avoid or run away them.
* BossInMooksClothing: Reapers and Widows are ''considerably'' tougher and more dangerous than standard inflicted, and can likely kill you effortlessly unless you're well equipped. Seekers can still handle them quite competently, though.

* CriticalExistenceFailure: So far, at least, the inflicted just suddenly drop dead after receiving enough damage, even if it's from punching.

* DiegeticInterface: The HUD elements displaying your tools' vital stats appear to you as holograms right next to the tool itself. Your own menu appears as similar holograms around your arm, which you rotate to select larger categories like inventory, which is then rendered as a larger hologram in front of your eyes. Even things like hacking are again rendered entirely as wrist-mounted holograms.

* FeaturelessProtagonist: Pretty much nothing is known or determined about The Sleeper, as they very much exist as a blank canvas for the player to project themselves onto.

* KillerRobot: An option to make the Seekers (security robots) hostile to the player by default is available in the difficulty settings. They will also attack you if you commit crimes and resist arrest, and then there are the rumored "Dark Seekers" that appear at night and are hostile to all humans.

* MeleeATrois: Security robots (Seekers) and inflicted will often get into fights with each other, while inflicted are always hostile towards you and security robots will attack you if you resist arrest after committing a crime (such as hacking).
* MenuTimeLockout: Averted, as a consequence of a DiegeticInterface.
* NoticeThis: If the player sends out a blue scanner pulse, it'll highlight any interactive objects it passes through with the same shade of blue.

* SummonBiggerFish: As Seekers are initially neutral towards you, if you get attacked by particularly dangerous inflicted you can try to retreat and lure them near a Stalker so it can handle them for you.

* BossInMooksClothing: Reapers and Widows are ''considerably'' tougher and more dangerous than standard inflicted, and can likely kill you effortlessly unless you're well equipped. Stalkers can still handle them quite competently, though.

* GoodOldFisticuffs: This is the player's only way to defend themselves before they find better weapons.

* KillerRobot: Many once-helpful robots in [=EDEN=] will attack you on sight.

* MeleeATrois: Security robots (Stalkers) and inflicted will often get into fights with each other, while inflicted are always hostile towards you and security robots will attack you if you resist arrest after committing a crime (such as hacking).

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: They are called inflicted here, and are very gaunt, with their physiques bordering on skeletal. They are still pretty fast and reasonably good at punching and kicking. Moreover, they can also use arm implants (including ones with wrist-mounted lasers) if they got infected while having them equipped.

* SummonBiggerFish: As Stalkers are initially neutral towards you, if you get attacked by particularly dangerous inflicted you can try to retreat and lure them near a Stalker so it can handle them for you.
