Siren (video game)/YMMV


 * Goddamned Bats: The rifle-armed Shibito in the first game.
 * Narm Charm: The British voices from the first game can be this for some. While the fact that all the characters are Japanese and obviouly wouldn't be speaking English at all (nevermind with British accents), the fact that the voice actors don't go so over the top like the English voice actors in, say, Blood Curse do (mostly because they were basically all anime voice actors) makes them sound more like real people than someone reading from a script.
 * Nightmare Retardant: Yoriko Anno asking "is that a real gun?" served to be nightmare retardant.
 * Note: Handguns and rifles are illegal to own in Japan only shotguns are legal with stiff restrictions.
 * Also: Realistic-looking airsoft guns are popular toys over there. It's not actually a bad question.
 * Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Yoriko Anno spends most of the early game whining about how miserable she is and bugging Professor Takeuchi or whomever else she gets partnered with..
 * That One Level: Reiko escorting Harumi through the school in the first game. Mainly thanks to a game 'feature' where collected items aren't kept if you die and continue. Here, it's required that you use Harumi to grab an item just before the halfway checkpoint in order to proceed with the game, and so any deaths in the level will require you to start from the very beginning, lest you miss the item. Did I mention Harumi literally can't get anywhere NEAR a Shibito without dying?
 * What an Idiot!:.
 * The Woobie:
 * Though not apparent at first, Reiko sees Harumi as a daughter.
 * Harumi. Listen to her as she.
 * Tomoko. She spends most of her story arc separated from her parents, and returns to them.
 * Ichiko. She wakes up on a ferry with the undead after her..
