Chzo Mythos/YMMV


 * Alternative Character Interpretation: Yahtzee implies in 6 Days that 7 Days He neither confirms nor denies it in the commentary.
 * Complete Monster: Chzo. He's also a Cosmic Horror. Yeah, we don't like it either.
 * Crowning Music of Awesome:
 * The theme at the beginning and ending of 5 Days a Stranger, as well as the theme at the start of 7 Days a Skeptic. Both taken from RPGMaker 2000 they may well be, but that doesn't make them any less awesome or appropriate for the games.
 * The introductory theme in 7 Days a Skeptic is a MIDI version of One Man's Dream by Yanni.
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: A character in 7 Days just WANTS TO GO TO SPAAAAAAACCCCEEEEEEE
 * Idiot Plot: Most the the story wouldn't really work if the characters behaved rationally and worked towards their predefined goals. This is especially true in 7 Days, where no one really knows how to do their job, and the ship itself seems to have been constructed by morons.
 * A breakdown of what characters were supposed to be doing, and how they failed, is available here.
 * Mary Sue: Trilby in 5 Days a Stranger. Yahtzee admits as such.
 * Memetic Mutation:
 * Narm: in 7 Days is a bit lame to begin with, but  would be hilarious even if the context had been better executed.
 * Nausea Fuel: The alternate hotel in a Layered World., one of the worst being  . However, It Gets Worse when
 * Nightmare Fuel: And how!
 * Trilby's Notes, in many respects. If you've played it, a handy way to avoid sleeping is to turn the lights off and listen to the music track that plays in the alternate hotel.
 * So Bad Its Good: No, don't worry, not the games themselves. The Let's Play of the Mythos had various challenges and mini-contests between some of the episodes. One was to find the worst fan-made work for the series. Yahtzee himself participated, having found a community college made film based on 5 Days A Stranger. It's about as cheesy and poorly acted as you'd expect, they can't pronounce "Trilby" correctly, for one thing.
 * Surprisingly Improved Sequel: Trilby's Notes is by far the best game in the series, Ret Conning the worst mistakes of the previous two games and becoming very, very creepy.
