* RedHerring: The baby booties from floor 4 are the one item that can be skipped without locking you out of any good endings. [[spoiler:The Poisonous Perfume from floor 2 and the Heart-Attack Backpack from floor 3 can be used as weapons in the final showdown, the silver arrow from floor 5 is necessary to get the Heart-Attack Backpack safely, the scroll from floor 5 is necessary in one path of the final showdown, and the Volcano Steam from floor 6 affects which path of the final showdown you end up on. The baby booties can only be used on one page, and using them leads you to a bad ending.]]

* DidntThinkThisThrough: During the final confrontation, in one scenario, you and Julie get your hands tangled by the heart attack backpack, and your mutated friend Reggie is marching towards you, ready to devour you. Your options are either to attack him, or stall him until 1 AM (when he'll change back as a human). If you choose to fight, Julie simply asks "how are we supposed to fight if our hands are caught in this stupid backpack?!" The book then remarks, "Good question.

Also, going through the scavenger hunt in the wrong order may get you killed in other floors, since you need those items to survive.
