comment
Practical Currency: Spare Parts (shown in the game as bolts and gears of various sizes) are the currency used in Arcadia. They're stated to be valuable because they're needed to repair machines and are hard to come by given the state of the world. Haiku can even use them to repair themself, essentially giving the player the ability to recover HP in exchange for some money no matter where they are, although this requires standing still for a few seconds, leaving you vulnerable to enemy attacks.

Super Drowning Skills: Initially, Haiku lacks the ability to swim and dies instantly upon falling in water or touching a waterfall. After getting the Sealant Treatment upgrade, however, this is no longer the case.

Gentle Giant: Mundo, the elevator in the Factory Facility, is one of the largest machines you'll meet in the game, but he's completely harmless and has some words of support for Haiku if you talk to him. Apparently, he's too large to be affected by the virus.

Killed Offscreen: Upon reloading your game after defeating the virus, you'll find Limerick's remains in the room with the door to the Mainframe Vault. It's never explained what happened to him, and no text box pops up if you try to examine his body, but it's likely that he was either infected by the virus or killed by one of the infected robots.

Heroes Prefer Swords: Unusually for a robot, Haiku fights using a sword — although technically, while it's called a sword in the game, it's actually a large metal chip with sharp edges.

Evil All Along: In the true ending, the three Creators who Haiku frees from the virus along the course of the story are revealed to have been the ones behind the virus all along. As soon as you learn the truth by checking the Lost Archives, they appear and attack Haiku — this time clearly in control of themselves, unlike in the previous boss battles — and serve as the game's True Final Boss.

Gotta Catch Them All
 Haiku, the Robot (Video Game) / int_527fc5fe
comment
Gotta Catch Them All: There are several types of collectibles to be found: Power Cells can be given to Quatern for a sidequest. You get a reward for each one you give him (usually a large amount of Spare Parts, but at some points you will get a Capsule Fragment). Capsule Fragments increase your health by one hitpoint for every three you find. Chips can be equipped in order to customize Haiku's abilities, and chip sockets increase how many of them you can have equipped at once. Each chip does something different — generally, red ones enhance your offense in some way, blue ones are for defense, and green ones are for support.

Speaking Simlish: Subverted — while the sounds the robots make when talking appear to be electronic-sounding gibberish, if you listen closely, you'll notice that they're actually reading out the first few words of their text boxes in English, albeit run through a filter to sound heavily digitized.

comment
True Final Boss: After defeating the virus inside the Mainframe Vault, a brief ending sequence will be shown. Upon reloading the game, however, Verse reveals to the player that they found out that the virus was brought about by something greater and the true cause of the corruption hasn't been dealt with yet. The player then has to head to the Lost Archives at the lowest point of the world map to face the three Creators as the real final boss.

Foreshadowing: Inside the First Tree, there are the remains of another Creator like the three ones you meet in the game. The description for the achievement you get for reaching this location in the Steam version is "Find the betrayed Creator". The fact that there is a "betrayed Creator" is a hint that the three other ones aren't as benevolent as the player is led to believe.

Cool Train: The Traveling Town is a sentient trainnote Granted, most of the machines you meet in the game are sentient, but none are quite as big as this one that serves as the game's shortcut mechanic by instantly taking you to specific points on the map. It's also home to Rondel the welder and Sonnet the book-obsessed shopkeeper.

Convection, Schmonvection: Averted in the Incinerator Burner and Blazing Furnace areas; before getting the Heat Treatment upgrade, Haiku will gradually take damage there due to the extreme heat. Even with the upgrade, Haiku's heat gauge will always be at maximum while in those areas (unless the player has the Heat Drive chip equipped), which leaves them unable to use abilities that generate heat such as Power Bombs or the Space Disruptor, and direct contact with fire still results in death.
