Line 1:

* [[Development Hell]]: That damned sequel. It's one of Silicon Knight's most well-recieved IP's, and they've wanted to do a new game for a while. But the [[Game Cube]] has come and gone, the [[Wii]] is on its way out, and ''[[Too Human]]'' was an expensive flop. Maybe they're working on a sequel for the [[Wii U]]?
* [[Follow the Leader]]: When showcasing the game as a classic favourite of his, [[The Spoony Experiment|Spoony]] actually expressed surprise it's novel combat system ''[[Averted|wasn't]]'' copied in future titles.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]:
** If you've played any of the ''[[Metal Gear]]'' games, some characters are going to sound ''eerily'' familiar. [[Jennifer Hale]], [[David Hayter]], [[Cam Clarke]], Paul Eiding, Richard Doyle, Greg Eagles, ''Kim Mai Guest''.... the list goes on and on.
** Alexandra Roivas is [[Knights of the Old Republic|Bastila]] and [[Mass Effect|Fem!Shep]].
*** And the [[Evil Sorcerer|Dark]] [[Quest for Glory|Master]]. Just saying...
Line 9 ⟶ 10:
** Anthony is [[Metal Gear Solid|Liquid]] [[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty|Snake]].
** Pious Augustus is [[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater|The Fury]] and [[Legacy of Kain|Moebius]].
*** Don't forget [[Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots|Big Boss]]. Also becomes ironic when the Roman Legionaires that accompany him are also voiced by his son
** Michael Edwards is [[Metal Gear Solid|Grey Fox, DARPA Chief
** Paul Luther is [[Metal Gear Solid|Colonel Campbell]].
** Ellia is [[Metal Gear Solid|Mei Ling]].
Line 17 ⟶ 18:
** Peter Jacob is [[Legacy of Kain|Raziel]] or [[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater|The Fear]].
** Karim is [[Star Trek Elite Force|Ensign Alexander Munro]] or [[Resident Evil 4|Luis Sera]].
* [[Talking to Himself]]: Both Ulyaoth and Pious were voiced by Richard Doyle.
* [[Urban Legend of Zelda]]: With all the various sanity effects that really ARE in the game, TONS of these came out for other kinds of sanity effects that certainly sounded believable.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The templar knight who Pious uses as the foundation for the Pillar of Flesh? He was planned to be a Tome bearer, hence his ability to see the liche's true form. The person that gave Ellia Mantorok's heart was also planned to be playable. Also, Michael was originally conceived as a soldier in the Gulf War before being made into a firefighter; the dead soldier found early on is holding all of the weaponry he was supposed to start with in the first place. Oh, and the whole [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVh_yJvsQKs "it was originally an N64 game"] thing too.
The Game is well noted for its sanity effects. These include:
Line 53 ⟶ 57:
** You may hear chapter-specific sounds in the background, like a maid being drained by the vampire beast just before doing Edward's chapter.
* Forced Effects
** "Psycho Worm" (
** [[Interface Screw|The game will appear to have a cliffhanger]] ending, saying "To be continued" in a [[One Game for the Price of Two|game entitled "Sanity's Redemption"]].
** "Blood Bath" (
** "Hanging Man" (
** "Asylum" (
** There are four sanity effects where an image of Edward peers over Alex's shoulder and whispers to her as she's reading the Tome of Eternal Darkness, and while they can be triggered at any point in the game prior to the following points, they will inevitably be triggered ''at'' those points if they weren't already, regardless of your sanity level at the time:
*** 1. "I will keep the darkness away." Karim's chapter, just before he gets the Ram Dao.
