Line 8:
* [[Fake Difficulty]]: You're not told how to solve a good deal of the game's puzzles.
* [[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.
* [[
* [[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]]: If the horrendous spelling in the subtitles doesn't get you, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URcvdDtnM_0 "King of Limbo"] song at the end will.
** 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 The Philosopher's Stone|Fluffy]]" on the outside. In the font from the ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' logo.
** 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.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: A lot of the faces are horribly creepy, such as Briggs'.
Line 21:
** One of the most obvious issues that persists throughout the game is the layering of text onto round objects. Many, many times through the game, there will be bags or round bottles with flat text. Nothing in this game has any real attempt at special effects.
** One particularly hilarious note about the game's visuals is that the behind-the-scenes featurette on the bonus DVD makes a big deal about the game's dynamic lighting effects. It's just too bad the light source or the characters' positioning have no bearing on how the shadows actually fall.
*** [[Serial Escalation|It gets worse.]] [[Absurdity Ascendant|The lights you see in-game are just some old cheapo animated GIFs of torches or light bulbs, pasted onto the 2D backgrounds.]]
* [[Squick]]: It starts with human fat used to make a torch and continues all throughout the game in forms ranging from [[Eye Scream|drizzling sawdust in someone's eyes so a "woodgater" eats them]] to [[Gorn|an industrial vat full of partially-ground raw meat]].
** How about the {{spoiler|skinned mayor}} in Chapter 3?
