Line 10:
** In a more literal sense of the word, the very first item you receive is a worm... [[Nausea Fuel|pulled out of Arach's ear. It's later combined with sewage water to create a tequila]].
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: The plagiarism charges led to a brief fad of photoshopping the main character into other games. Rock Paper Shotgun even held a [http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/compo-of-the-lost-gallery/ contest] seeking these.
* [[Misblamed]]:
*
** And even it is slightly debatable if Grunger's note in the prologue actually refers to Quagmire: the name on the note is "Jethro Quagmire", when Jethro is the name of the janitor in the Machine chapter. An intentional case of defying [[One Steve Limit]], or a continuity mistake? Only the developers know.
** Another example (also referring to Grunger) is having to put sleeping snot in gruel when the jailer's already asleep. Grunger may be asleep when you encounter him, but Ed refuses to let you pass until you feed him (threatening to have Grunger kill you at least once), and it'd be pretty much impossible to get past Grunger when he's awake.
* [[Most Annoying Sound]] : "Join us... Join us... Join us now !" It was [[Nightmare Fuel|quite the opposite]] when spoken aloud by {{spoiler|the Hammer Haunts}} in the ''[[Thief]]'' games.
* [[Narm]]:

** Before Briggs meets face to face with a Cerberos-like monster dog in the first level, he finds his bowl first. It's got a pentagram engraved inside and the label "[[Harry Potter and
** Briggs' [[Uncanny Valley|facial expressions]] [[Special Effects Failure|often make him look]] [[Cloudcuckoolander|quite mentally challenged]].
** One of the [[NPC|NPCs]] (an old, hag-like woman) is named ''Cranny Faggot''. Yes, really.
* [[So Bad It's Good]]: The song at the end of the game. It's not worth playing the game to hear it, fortunately the song is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URcvdDtnM_0 on YouTube].
* [[Special Effect Failure]]: At one point in the prologue, Briggs enters a hallway at which the camera is tilted at an angle. He is (very obviously) not angled.
Line 27 ⟶ 30:
** How about the {{spoiler|skinned mayor}} in Chapter 3?
* [[They Just Didn't Care]]: For some reason, despite sinking 13 years of their lives into this, the developers never bothered to learn how to properly program or make their own art assets. You'd think if they cared about the game that much they'd put in some effort, but apparently not!
* [[They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot]]: The "mystery in Darkmere" subplot is pretty much the only part of the game with anything resembling a cohesive storyline, and as such had the potential to be quite interesting as a stand-alone game if handled competently.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: The CGI was never very good in this regard, but that final song... welcome to the nightmare, kids!
