Line 4:
** On the same token, the cutter level. {{spoiler|To go into further detail: Jack has been fished out of the water by a Coast Guard Cutter (a ship operated by the coast guard that is at least over 65 feet long), when suddenly it comes under attack by the Deep Ones, who pour onto the deck and start killing everything. The crew arm themselves with Springfield rifles and Tommy guns, eventually fighting off the Deep One assault... [[Oh Crap|then Father Dagon shows up]]. With almost everyone else on the ship dead, Jack singlehandedly takes down Dagon with the main gun by firing missiles into his face before Dagon manages to sink the boat.}}
* [[Disappointing Last Level]]: A pretty serious case too, it's quite clear that most of the game's development went into the first half of the game. The last two levels are particularly problematic.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Cthulhu, Hydra, and Dagon. The Shoggoth, Deep Ones, Star Spawn of Cthulhu and the Flying Polyps are smaller versions of this.
* [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]]: The ore-crusher scene. Dear god.
** Also the scene where an FBI agent has been covered in Shoggoth acid and can only yell gibberish as Hoover tries to get him to say what he ran into. Eventually, Hoover takes out a gun and shoots him. He then turns to you and says: "What're you looking at me like that for? He was an agent, he knew the risks!"
** And about the shoggoth itself. It's gigantic, capable of forming eyes, mouths, tentacles and weird "blossom"-things wherever it wants to attack you. One thing that was added to the shoggoth for this game that makes it even worse is that its entire body is highly corrosive and will hurt you just by brushing up against it. Oh, and staring too long at it makes Jack (justifiably) freak out so much his vision blurs and he mutters to himself in a panic very rapidly. If not for the fact that it's sitting in the middle of a bunch of dangerous industrial machinery you would be totally unable to hurt it.
** Also, when the Fishmen in the [[Hell Hotel]] try to kill Jack in his sleep. And they learn he's awake and aware of what's going on. [[Oh Crap|And he's completely unarmed]].
* [[Most Annoying Sound]]: "Spread out! Search the area!", which is repeated over and over and ''over'' again by the Innsmouth residents.
* [[Squick]]: Mother Hydra. She has scales, is grotesquely fat, has razor sharp teeth, and has [[Fan Disservice|four giant breasts]]. She's just... ''gross''.
