* GiantMook: 8-foot tall creatures that look like a bipedal naked mole rat crossed with [[Series/StrangerThings the Demogorgon]] start appearing throughout the mansion in the latter half of the game, they're faster than you and take a ''lot'' of firepower to put down and will appear in some rooms that were previously occupied by zombies, but most can be stealthed around by walking instead of running. The creature itself is a Unity-store asset (part of the "Nightmare Creatures" pack) and can also be seen in the ''VideoGame/{{Outbreak}}'' series.

Added DiffLines:

* CriticalHit: The pistol has an extremely small chance of causing a zombie's head to explode with one shot, killing them instantly. However, the odds of this happening are so small you can't rely on it in any sort of way to save ammo.
