| Cobalt Core (Video Game) | comment |
Cobalt Core is a sci-fi themed roguelike deckbuilder, developed by Rocket Rat Games (the team behind Sunshine Heavy Industries) and published by Brace Yourself Games (who also published Crypt Of The Necrodancer). It released for PC and Nintendo Switch on November 8, 2023.A secret project to restore a powerful ship called the Cobalt has gone wrong, its core destabilizing and causing a rift in space and time. Even worse, the crew responsible for this mess, and the only ones capable of fixing it, had their memories fractured. They must now journey through sectors of space, fighting space pirates, killer robots, and other dangers on their mission to escape from the loop they're trapped in. | |

Conditioned to Accept Horror | |
| Cobalt Core (Video Game) / int_1b465242 | comment |
Conditioned to Accept Horror: Due to being trapped in the time loop for 517 iterations and counting, the crew tends to take a rather blasé attitude whenever bad things happen or even when it looks like a TPK is inevitable. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Cobalt Core (Video Game) / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Downplayed. Drake is initially encountered as an enemy before she's unlocked, and her first core memory shows that she was a mercenary that plotted to steal the Cobalt for profit before the loops began. However, once she actually joins the crew, she only helps out of self-interest and makes no effort to hide that she's the Token Evil Teammate. In fact, even after being unlocked, she'll still appear as an enemy if she's not in your crew. | |

Secret Character | |
| Cobalt Core (Video Game) / int_6bff99d4 | comment |
Secret Character: At the start of the game, only three of the eight playable characters are available to participate in a run: Dizzy, Riggs, and Peri. Three are unlocked successively, and have their portrait and unlock conditions clearly stated on the selection menu: win one run to unlock Isaac, win with Isaac on the team to unlock Drake, and win with Drake on the team to unlock Max. The final two characters, Books and CAT.exe, are completely hidden at first, but can be unlocked by progressing through the overarching narrative. | |

Wistful Amnesia: While it doesn't take much to remind the crew members that they're trapped in a time loop, not all of their memories are so easily restored. This also applies to the various other characters who have been caught in the loop. One exchange involves a space pirate asking the crew if they've been experiencing the same phenomenon, before concluding that they must somehow be involved with causing the problem and attacking them. | |

Above Good and Evil: Discussed and Averted. Drake assumes this is at play and even mocks the singularity for its willingness to save her despite her being a generally unpleasant person, only to be bluntly informed that they would be more than happy to leave her stranded in the time loop if that were in any way feasible. | |

This file comes up again later in banter between Max and CAT.exe, with the latter eventually figuring it out but keeping the details secret, and just promising that it's "something cool" she'll show him later. In the Future Memory, CAT.exe shows Max that the cool thing is the ability to completely control the Cobalt. | |

The Power of Friendship | |
| Cobalt Core (Video Game) / int_faece9aa | comment |
The Power of Friendship: One possible exchange when a run isn't going well is for one of the crew members to invoke this, insisting they can still win with the power of friendship... before rapidly running out of steam and resigning themselves to another loop. Also invoked by name during the final run, and then used to shatter the space-time continuum. CAT.exe wants out of the time loop more than anyone else, but can't bear to leave without saving the crew she loves. The player's final turn starts with a hand full of useless situational cards from each crew member… along with her unique attack that deals damage equal to the number of card colors in hand. | |

I Call It "Vera": Isaac regularly names all of his drones, and will often proudly announce them as they're being launched. Though there are moments where he's clearly struggling a bit to come up with suitable monikers. This also appears to impact his level of attachment to individual drones; while he typically mourns their loss, he'll occasionally accept that they managed to do their job… or that he hadn't named them properly. | |

Theme Naming: When launching Jupiter drones, Isaac naturally tends to name them after the various moons of Jupiter. Though he'll slip a Jupiter Jr in there now and then. | |

Virtual Sidekick: The crew has an AI assistant, CAT.exe, that's responsible for waking them up from cryosleep at the start of each run and guiding them to victory. She's also the secret eighth playable character. | |
