History VideoGame / ReahFaceTheUnknown

* AbandonedArea: Near the end of the game. [[spoiler: The research base set up by the team who first went through the portal before you.]]
* TheCity: The game features multiple cities, each of them rife with activity. In some places you can see inhabitants doing things in the background, some come out and talk to you, and you can even knock on the doors of various houses, even if most of them won't have an answer. [[spoiler: Another, more modern one shows up visible through a fan duct near the end, strangely out of place.]]

* FishOutOfWater: Your character often reacts to his surroundings in a very confused manner, like a regular person probably would in a game like this; and sometimes has conversations with people about this.

* RecycledPremise: [[spoiler: TheReveal at the end would come around to be just as ambiguous as that of ''Sentinel: Descendants in time'', ironically Detalion's last game... until they announce Schizm III in 2019.]]

* VoiceoverLetter: The last page of a couple of Reahan books is read by the Alchemist for you, which helps, considering your character can't read their language.

* RecycledPremise: [[spoiler: TheReveal at the end would come around to be just as ambiguous as that of ''Sentinel: Descendants in time'', ironically Detalion's last game.]]

* GenreSavvy: At one point, your character refuses to cross a large body of water, saying "I'm not ''Film/IndianaJones''."

* FirstPersonGhost: While your character has dialogue and works as a journalist, he can't see his body.

* LightAndMirrorsPuzzle: Where you have to use sunlight bounced off a number of mirrors and through a lens to light the wood under a vat of dye. The journalist also [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] how he can't see his reflection.

* AbandonedArea: The only place in the game that fits this trope, near the end of the game. [[spoiler: The research base set up by the team who first went through the portal before you.]]

* FirstPersonGhost: While your character has dialogue and works as a journalist, according to the intro, he can't see his body.

Journalists have been flocking to the planet Reah to discover how, despite its lack of resources and inhospitable climate, a massive [[BlackSite top secret base]] had been established there. You are the last and [[IntrepidReporter most persistent of them]], and the base's commander finally revealed that it was all part of a research mission surrounding a teleportation gateway. It connected with an alternate version of Reah in [[AnotherDimension another dimension]], one inhabited by strange humanoid beings, and full of bizarre technology and structures. Because this dimension somehow prohibited advanced human technology from working, a small outpost for the research team was set up on the other side, where they could observe the inhabitants first-hand. Now the commander has allowed you to see this version of Reah for yourself. Despite the return connection becoming increasingly unstable, your [[GoingForTheBigScoop desire to be famous]] didn't let this deter you. With the return portal gone, now you simply must [[TitleDrop face the unknown]].
