Oh, and they can be used as a WetwareCPU for bigger robots. The whale exhibit is terrifying but still graceful, but later applications are skinless monstrosities with fleshy tentacles. * BodyHorror: One of the experiments is the Polymer's ability to support life in a body with most of its organs removed. Many of the fantastical technologies and abilities used by P-3 over the course of the game were made possible by incorporating and exploiting the properties of the liquidized programmable material. * AppliedPhlebotinum: The invention Polymer/Neuropolymer by Dmitry Sechenov in 1936 which revolutionized energy production and robotics in the decades to follow. ** A Typhoon-class submarine can be seen in Limbo, the first of which were laid down in 1976. ** The KS-23 appears as the game's shotgun, but it wasn't even conceptualized during the game's time period, being designed in the 1970s and put into service in the 1980s. ** Yuri Gagarin still holds the title of first man in the space, but the year of his flight was pushed forward to 1951-when the real Yuri Gagarin was just 17 years old. ![]() Here, in 1955 (before any Packards) they already treated as old clunkers. ** Chaika limousines were launched in the late 1950s and used styling cues borrowed from 1955 Packards.
