• 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.
• Funny Moments: The multitude of poses Lance goes through as he dodges Fritz's final onslaught of bullets.
  • Fritz's LONG trek down the staircase. With everything he's put you through, the whole sequence is just plain beautiful.
• Heartwarming Moments: One 'death' involving a bat flying down and assailing Lance has said bat snatching Lance with its wings, 'hugging' him and playfully chewing on his head while Lance gives it a slightly irritated look. After seeing Lance get torn apart in so many comedic ways, something about a creature not actually killing him and simply annoying him is strangely adorable and unexpected.
• Nightmare Fuel: Tons. Despite its fairly cartoony style, you can't really expect less from a game with nearly 100 distinct very graphic ways to die.
  • That puppet in the music room, who chokes you with his strings and pulls you offscreen. God, those eyes when he does it...
  • The worms in the library, who, as graphically as the game's age rating will allow, burrow their way through Lance's abdomen and burst out of his back, and all the while he's screaming and grunting in pain.
  • The Jack the Ripper-esque ghost in the bedroom, who can tear your face off.
    • More like SLICE your face off.
• 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.)
