7	!!This game provides examples of:
8	* ArtisticLicenseChemistry: The traveller destroys a locked door by throwing a vial of "stabilized francium" into a bucket of water. As an alkali metal, francium would indeed react violently with water, but its half-life is so quick that realistically one could never stabilize it.
9	* ApocalypseHow: Multiversal species extinction. Both dimensions of Earth were infected with the Time Plague, however, one dimension managed to cure it and one didn't.
10	* CoolGate: The Einstein-Rosen bridge is a giant metallic structure. The traveller's secondary objective is to repower it, since they burnt it out during their initial travel.
11	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: It's a game where your driving goal is to find the cure.
12	* FeaturelessProtagonist: We don't even know if the traveller was the leader of the search team that discovered the Einstein-Rosen bridge.
13	* FindTheCure: Surprise!
14	* FingerprintingAir: The traveller uses tape to lift a fingerprint from a mop handle to gain access to the infirmary.
15	* GratuitousLaboratoryFlasks: The supply closet is described as containing "beakers and jars of various chemicals."
16	* HazmatSuit: The Arc Flash suit the traveller uses to bypass the infirmary turret. It's explicitly stated to be bulky and uncomfortable.
17	* HollywoodAcid: The traveller uses acid to burn the lock off the electrician's closet.
18	* LastSecondEndingChoice: The traveller has ten seconds to decide whether to return to their version of Earth with the cure, or remain in the new dimension and enjoy a life not spent in a ravaged hellhole.
19	* ThePlague: The Time Plague kills anyone who encounters an infected person after exactly 25 years.
20	* TextParser: Averted. Unlike most text-based adventure games, choices are made by choosing from a list of options and pressing the appropriate key, like a {{Gamebook}}.
21	* SoleSurvivor: The traveller was the only member of their search party who was able to jump through the Einstein-Rosen bridge and reach the other dimension. It wasn't stated whether the others were [[TeleporterAccident killed mid-route]] or [[PortalSlam simply didn't jump in fast enough]].
22	** If the traveller chooses to stay in the other dimension, everyone else from their Earth will be dead within 25 years.
23	* StaticStunGun: The security turret in the control room.
24	* StandAloneEpisode: Set in the ''Roleplay/DarwinsSoldiers'' universe, but has nothing to do with any character, location or story from other ''Darwin's Soldiers'' media.
25	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The scientists from the other dimension were completely oblivious to the deadly plague they brought to Earth.
