Brain Dead 13/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • All Animation Is Disney: To some extent. The character designs resemble the works of Don Bluth while the animation itself looks like it came out of Ralph Bakshi's colors.
  • Animation Age Ghetto: There's really no other explanation for why this has a K-A rating other than the assumption that "animated" means "it's for kids".
  • Faux Symbolism: One of the resurrection scenes (in case Lance dies in haunted rooms) shows the "fires of rebirth" reform Lance's body and restore him to life. This is a bit strange, as it is kind of reminiscent of The Phoenix, which is an ancient and well known symbol of death and rebirth and portrayed as a magical bird made of living flames: the story says that when a Phoenix reaches the end of its life, it would make a cinnamon stick nest and self-immolate itself with fire, and from the ashes a new Phoenix is reborn. This could explain the "fiery" resurrection scene that Lance, like a Phoenix, can rise from the ashes of defeat and start over. Weird.
  • Nausea Fuel: In one death scene, Fritz sticks Lance's head in a blender, then turns it on, purees his entire body, and drinks it like beer, eyeballs and all. This is just so barf-worthy.
  • One-Scene Wonder: Vivi; seriously, people would not even know about this game if not for her scene, if fan art (often of the Rule 34 type) is any indication.
  • Squick: Several of the deaths.
    • Moose giving Lance a wedgie that splits him in half and rips out his spine and pelvis.
  • What Do You Mean It's for Kids?: It's a game where the protagonist gets to die in all sorts of graphically violent ways has made it extremely hard to understand why this was given a K-A rating then (some could argue that "it's because it looks so silly", but many of the deaths were not exactly all that light nevertheless, so in other words, the fact that this game was given a K-A rating might be considered to be really... baffling to put it mildly).
