| 1 | * Playing at night can be scary, especially in dark and empty places, if not ''unsafe'' and sometimes against the law[[note]]parks in many cities, for example, officially close after sunset and anyone caught there at night will likely be arrested for trespassing/loitering[[/note]]. |
| 2 | * So you're going around hacking, capturing, and attacking portals, then you put your phone in your pocket or switch to another app for a little bit. Suddenly, [[JumpScare your phone goes off]] [[NothingIsScarier and you see a notification alerting you that a portal in the area you have ownership of is under attack]]! |
| 3 | * Some cemetaries are home to portal clusters.[[note]]As crude as it may seem, graves of cultural and historical significance are acceptable portal candidates.[[/note]] And some players have been known to go there ''at night''; see above. |
| 4 | * At the end of Ingress Report 39 (the episode that covers the finale of #13MAGNUS), [[spoiler:Klue hijacks the report with a cryptic speech bearing strange, [[UncannyValley almost-human]] movement.]] |
| 5 | * The game's background noises can be particularly creepy at night. |
| 6 | * The constant theories about a third faction in Ingress were finally proved with the appearance of the Machina in November 2022. At the time of writing, there is no information known, other than the fact that portals captured by them play strange buzzing sounds, as well as appearing as "UNKNOWN" in the scanner. As of July 2023, next to nothing about the Machina is known, other than it growing like a cancer propagating across portals, that it breaks several rules of how exotic matter usually works, and, going by how hacking Machina portals gets you the same results as hacking a Lvl 1 portal absolutely buried in Force Amps and Turrets, it is ''extremely'' hostile to both factions. |
| 7 | ** And according to [[https://ingress.com/news/2023-machinareclaimer/ the blog post that introduced the Reclaimer medal]], the Machina is actively ''evolving'' its tactics and abilities, and they believe ItCanThink. |
