Anti-Villain: Although he's somewhat of a conceited overlord figure with a serious god complex, ultimately the only reason Elohim ever interferes with your mission is because he's afraid that if you succeed, he will at best lose his purpose and be rendered irrelevant, and at worst functionally die.Also, contrary to the ones in Portal, lasers in this game don't hurt the Player Character. Standing in the path of laser beams for about one second disrupts them note which is occasionally required to solve puzzles, but merely passing through them doesn't, which saves a lot of time once the beam puzzles start getting complicated.

A post-launch patch added two more: a special autosave that's never overwritten after getting all the sigils needed for the main story, so you can watch all the endings easily, and a button to make the game go at double speed to cut down on travel time.Lastly, you can get the assistance of a messenger in certain puzzles, once you unlock them, though they are extremely limited in number, totaling three in a game with more than 120 puzzles. Also, if you take too long on a puzzle, Elohim will suggest you leave the puzzle for another day note You get achievements both for persistence and heeding Elohim's words. You can reset a puzzle that you managed to get stuck on by holding down the reset key. In doing so, they choose an epitaph and lie dormant in a sarcophagus until awoken to give advice. If one of Elohim's children exceeds at the puzzles they've been tasked with solving, they're given the chance to give up their life and become a "messenger", charged with aiding those who come after them. Angelic Transformation: Occurs symbolically.And considering the state of the real world at that point, everything in the game is relatively anachronistic anyway. Justified in the sense this is just a virtual world. Anachronism Stew: Features like computer terminals, powered turrets and electrical switches among the ruins of Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and medieval structures.At the same time, the IAN team doesn't seem to have intended for EL-0-HIM and Milton to become self-aware, as they eventually did. Creating a defiant robot isn't a problem for humanity since they're all dead. Is a Crapshoot: Invoked and independently played straight: the purpose of the simulated world is to create a robot that is intelligent enough to solve puzzles and plan long-term, but also curious and tenacious enough to defy authority. A few seconds after you enter, Elohim notices, and the objects are replaced by the correct ones. One of the puzzles in the second world is built in the first world's theme.In one instance, it gets bad enough that Elohim comes in and fixes it, then says "Excess Data Cleared". A square of ground doing this continuously is key to finding a secret room. This glitching is accompanied by a slight buzzing sound, which is particularly jarring in contrast to the usually calm background music. Every so often, you'll see a random object pixellate and flicker, like a hologram whose red layer is momentarily misaligned.After the End: Heavily implied to be the case in the real world, if you pay attention to the audio and text logs, which imply that the end came about due to a virus released from melting permafrost, caused by Global Warming, killing off humanity.
who desperately sought meaning in the world, and Shepherd, the guide who gives the most helpful and positive advice of all the bots, are one and the same: Sheep took on the moniker of Shepherd after climbing the Tower and learning the truth of the simulation, but being blocked by Samsara from ascending.
