| Quantum Conundrum (Video Game) | comment |
Quantum Conundrum is a first-person perspective puzzle hybrid game in the same vein as Portal, of which director Kim Swift was a creative lead.The player character is the 12-year-old nephew of Professor Fitz Quadwrangle (voiced by John de Lancie). When he drops by for a visit, his uncle disappears in an explosion. It is up to him find Fitz through the use of the Inter-Dimensional Shift Device (IDS device), which can move him between dimensions and affect the physics of the world around him.It was released on June 21, 2012, for the PC, with console releases later on. | |

Blamed for Being Railroaded: There are multiple situations where you are forced to break glass in order to proceed, yet Professor Quadwrangle chews you out over it every time. Amusingly enough, there is one singular area in the game where the Professor specifically says that breaking the glass is a necessary evil due to there being no other option, yet it's one of the few areas where you actually CAN avoid breaking the glass. | |

Selective Gravity: Justified. Since the IDS prevents the wearer from being affected by dimensional shifts, the player experiences gravity normally in the Fluffy/Heavy/Reverse-Gravity dimensions. | |

Professor Quadwrangle describes the dimension he's trapped in as containing things like cell phones, and the clouds in the sky are apparently made of lint. It's a Pocket Dimension. | |

Trial-and-Error Gameplay: Some of the puzzles are like this, especially since screwing up on most of them will end in your death. One particular test requires exploiting Slow-Mo to have an object above you fall below you so you can land on it mid jump, which a lot of players won't immediately catch on to. | |

Game-Breaking Bug: Game physics are tied to frame rate, which means any drop can cause unpredictable physics glitchs. These glitches can make some tests completely unsolvable. In particular, any test which requires stacking objects can result in said objects tipping over in mid-stack, ruining whatever puzzle they were a part of. | |

Not the Fall That Kills You…: In the Fluffy Dimension, you become immune to fall damage. Although in general, falling from great heights does nothing to you except make your vision blurry for a few seconds. If you die from falling, it's usually because it's a Bottomless Pit or a hole filled with Science Juice. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| Quantum Conundrum (Video Game) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: Portal players will kick themselves every time they try to use something and shift dimensions instead. The 'E' key, which tends to be linked to Use in any modern FPS, is the Fluffy dimension hotkey. Use is instead done by left mouse click, which is commonly associated with shooting something. It's softened somewhat by the HUD having a constant reminder of which buttons are used to shift dimensions. | |

Sugar Bowl | |
| Quantum Conundrum (Video Game) / int_a15af1f3 | comment |
Sugar Bowl: Fluffy dimension, which renders objects much lighter than they are normally, makes everything white and soft. The pictures also become more childlike, such as having those depicted wearing cat costumes and other funny things. | |

Not Quite Flight | |
| Quantum Conundrum (Video Game) / int_a29a7058 | comment |
Not Quite Flight: One of the tricks to solve puzzles with anti-gravity is to use a moving object to float over long distances through gravity switching. You can get as far as you want, but can't turn. | |

The Many Deaths of You | |
| Quantum Conundrum (Video Game) / int_a7325f9e | comment |
The Many Deaths of You: Played for a little Black Comedy; the player character is explicitly a child (complete with a shorter-than-normal height for the player's viewpoint), and can die in several ways throughout the game. It then informs you of one of the many, many experiences the player character will never have, including being taller than four feet, reaching age 13, and not having peaked at ten. | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Quantum Conundrum (Video Game) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: The buttons are pressure-sensitive. While this is meant to keep fluffy cubes (or other normally heavy items) from triggering them, stacking enough fluffy objects onto a button will trigger it, since the weight adds up. | |

| Quantum Conundrum (Video Game) / int_b47d95be | comment |
No OSHA Compliance: Professor Quadwrangle is fairly upfront about the unsafe conditions in his home, lampshading it a few times in the particularly deadly tests. Played with in the early levels, at least, where a majority of the unsafe things are actually the result of the security measures triggering due to the power going out. | |

Take Your Time | |
| Quantum Conundrum (Video Game) / int_cfd569ac | comment |
Take Your Time: During the last parts of the game, professor Quadwrangle urges you to go to the Uber-IDS section due to the entire manor shaking and being quite obviously unstable. However, nothing stops you from revisiting the previous sections or just walking around for as long as you want. And when you do enter the Uber-IDS section, there's no time limit on the levels either, despite the constant rumbles. Even when you reach the Uber-IDS and activate it, professor Quadwrangle urges you to get to him before it's too late, but in reality you can just stand there with nothing happening except the frequent rumbles. | |

Have a Nice Death: Whenever you die, the game helpfully lists an experience that the player character will never have. Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Including "Writing depressing comments for a video game" and "Going through this level with one less death." Also a possible joke at Nomura: "Eating nothing but ramen for 3 months." | |

Gravity Master | |
| Quantum Conundrum (Video Game) / int_d9cc408b | comment |
Gravity Master: The Fluffy and Heavy dimensions serve this purpose, making objects ten times less or more massive, respectively. Notably, momentum is not conserved when switching between Fluffy, Heavy, and Normal; a Fluffy safe thrown in the air will retain its velocity if made heavier in the normal or Heavy dimensions. This is a vital aspect of solving puzzles. | |
