Moebius: Empire Rising
- Ho Yay: If Malachi rescues David from hanging, then he takes David to his hotel room. Then Malachi undoes David's shirt, reaches down, and grabs his dogtags. Then he reaches into David's pocket.
- When David wakes up:
David: Where are we?Malachi: My hotel room.David: Did you at least buy me dinner first?- When David has a date with Gretchen, this is explicitly lampshaded, with Gretchen straight-up asking David if he is straight or not. He gives an evasive answer.
- Then there's all the scenes in which David gets Malachi out of his panic attacks by putting his hands all over him.
- David is consistently the only one who can get any emotional response out of Malachi. And when David is kidnapped, Malachi goes nuts.
- Scrappy Mechanic: Unlike many other point-and-click adventures, Malachi would often refuse to pick up certain objects until the time calls for it, creating lots of backtracking.
- Spiritual Successor: To Cognition: An Erica Reed Thriller for being written by Jane Jensen, using the same (slightly buggy and awkward) engine, having a lot of detail in furniture and decorations, and an emphasis on psychic powers.
- That One Level: The whole Qatar level, which has action sequences that require precise timing, and a confusing maze.
