  • Anvilicious: The Christian aspect of the game. It ultimately has no impact on the plot, but every game in the trilogy has a bible or bible quotes shoehorned into it.
    • While that's true. You could probably skip most of it if you know what you're doing. Since you almost certainly pick up a walkthrough from the start...that's likely
  • Crowning Music of Awesome: The music in the shotgun duel in Escape is very good.
  • Ensemble Darkhorse: Dan Mc Neely, being voiced by Edwyn Tiong played a huge part in this of course.
  • Idiot Plot: The entire trilogy is this.
  • Narm: "Why do I feel so...TRAPPED?" * Face Palm*
    • "Oh, damn! I forgot Dialla." *gunfire outside door, cue player's disbelieving laughter*
    • "Get in there, or I'll shoot you!"
    • "Did I mention I have a thing... FOR WOMEN?"
    • 'This...is a CONVENIENCE STORE. I sell MILK...MAGAZINES...ciga-RETTES...'.
      • 'Why thank you young lady. I have no use for this BLOW-torch of mine. Here, take IT!'
    • Arguably the entire trilogy is Narm incarnate.
  • Shocking Swerve: A few of the plot developments.
  • So Bad It's Good: Terrible, illogical puzzles, a plot held together with spit and sawdust, bizarre interfaces that change from game to game, over the top voice acting, Christian references shoehorned in everywhere...
  • Took the Bad Film Seriously: The voice actors for Dialla and McNeely are both genuinely good. It seems somewhat out of place in the context of a game where you catch fish with bananas to trade to a random convenience store clerk for a blowtorch.
    • Well, it is a flash production so money isn't the issue. Seems like they're doing it as a hobby.
