15	!!This VisualNovel contains examples of:
16	* AIIsACrapshoot: At the very start of the game, Tanya has rebelled against her creators and escaped from the lab where she was created. As you continue playing, there are plenty of endings where Tanya will do objectionable things, such as [[spoiler:kidnap Luke, kill him, or murder Helen out of jealousy.]]
17	* AmnesiacDissonance: Tanya learns that [[spoiler:she was a serial killer in her past life, leading to a HeroicBSOD.]]

19	* BigBad: Richard, [[CorruptCorporateExecutive CEO]] of [[MegaCorp Nanotech]], who’s out to capture Tanya.
20	* CerebusSyndrome: While the first installment was pretty serious, it was ultimately also pretty personal. The second installment is loaded with deadly high-stakes action from the start, and could potentially [[spoiler: decide the fate of all life on Earth.]]

24	* DoAndroidsDream: Luke struggles with the fact that Tanya seems to feel and express emotions just as any human would.

26	* FlyingCar: Luke has a hovercar.
27	* FutureFoodIsArtificial: Almost everyone is a vegetarian in the future because the constant rain and lack of sunlight makes it impossible to raise livestock and difficult to grow fresh crops. People typically eat a sort of flavored foam instead of real food.
28	* EtTuBrute: [[spoiler:Tom gives Luke up to Nanotech]] if you choose to tell him the truth about Tanya.
29	* GreenEyedMonster: In one ending, [[spoiler:[[MurderTheHypotenuse Tanya kills Helen]] because [[{{Yandere}} she is jealous of all the time Luke spends with her.]]]]

35	* MsFanservice: Tanya and Helen both wear tight-fitting, {{Stripperific}} outfits that reveal lots of cleavage with exposed midsections. Worth mentioning is Tanya's post-{{Shower Scene}} when she walks out with nothing but [[HandOrObjectUnderwear her hands to cover her breasts]].

37	* {{Nanotechnology}}: Allows Tanya’s skin to [[HealingFactor completely heal]] within minutes even if half her face has been blown off.

40	* PeopleJars: [[spoiler:Richard has captured and preserved some of the greatest minds from the last 50 years into PeopleJars so that he can place their brains into android Prototypes and use them for personal gain.]]

42	* PsychicPowers: Julia was a psychic in her past life, [[spoiler:and has a vision of Richard’s dystopian future [[HeelFaceTurn just in time to stop him.]]]]
