Several scenes, in particular the fan scene, are taken directly from it.

Alien Geometries: The Metal Glen, sometimes. First there's the metal shutter in Ruby's room, which sometimes opens to a window and sometimes to a room. Then half of the Brig turns upside-down, gravity and all. Then it gets worse. Amnesiac Dissonance: Both Tom and Ruby were each murderously violent at some point before the story starts.
