* AmnesiacHero: The opening cutscene. After "dreaming" of being very messily killed by a demon, the player character awakens amnesiac and with a weird tattoo on the back. The bulk of the game is finding out what happened and how to fix it. [[spoiler: While you do find out what happened, you never fix the amnesia.]]

* AsteroidsMonster: Killing the massive Redhatch Spider will result in as many as a ''dozen'' Redhatch Spiderlings bursting out of it and gunning for you.
* AwesomeButImpractical:
** The M2 Rifle is ''the'' most expensive and powerful weapon in the game, hands down: it deals a whopping 120 damage ''per shot'', when the second strongest weapon only deals 77 damage. However, the M2 has to be reloaded after every shot, and takes a significant amount of time to do so. If you're not putting whatever it is you're shooting at in the ground with that first shot, you likely won't get a second shot.
** The M249 light machine gun uses light ammunition and has a ''huge'' 90 round magazine, making it both effective at MoreDakka and easy to spray and pray. But it does pitiful damage for a gun as expensive as it is, and it has ''the longest'' reload time in the game at almost 4 seconds. Enemies, especially bosses, will not give you 4 uninterrupted seconds to reload.
** Heavy Armor is much more protective than Light Armor, with the best armor in the game giving you 190 armor (compared to the best Light Armor at 110). However, unless you specialize in Heavy Armor, you will lose 40% of your dodge distance and dodge window, and even if you do specialize you still lose 20% of each. You can take ninja shoes to mitigate the dodge penalties, or even void out the penalties entirely, but that requires using another skill point of your limited pool. And for all of that, you get [[spoiler: an extra 6% reduction in damage at high levels]]. Light Armor isn't flashy, but it is much more efficient.
** Traps are very effective when used against the enemies they are designed to counter (such as the doorway guillotine on centipedes), but they have to be set up in advance, as they can't be set up while in combat. This means that you need to identify the cryptids that you're going to encounter before you engage them, requiring the use of a blacklight on a corpse, and your battery is limited to doing so three times per hunt. You also have no way of knowing ''which'' of the cryptids you'll learn about when you scan a corpse[[note]]You can't, for example, scan a body specifically to find out if a ghoul is on the map[[/note]]. As a result, traps are either AwesomeButImpractical, or DifficultButAwesome.
* BadassBookworm: Any hunter worth his salt learns to hit the books;not only does this reveal the enemies have weaknesses (and species) to specific types of ammunition, traps, and for the most dangerous, weapon attachments and charms. While it ''is'' possible to brute force anything, learning about and preparing for your hunts will make things much easier.
* BoringButPractical:
** Skills:
*** The first Survival skill, which increases your maximum health by 20 and removes the penalty for use of medkits, is all but required: no matter how good you are at dodging, you will take damage during hunts, and being able to heal is essential.
*** The Primary Weapon skill, available at level 6, lets you use primary weapons without a penalty. As the penalties are ''awful'' (generally increasing reload time by at least 75%) and primary weapons are so much more powerful and versatile than sidearms, this skill is basically required.
*** Treasure Hunter: Increases the chances of finding higher value signs by 100%. Higher value signs sell for a ''lot'' more money, and since you need money to buy better gear, this one is a no-brainer.
** Weapons:
*** The CZ Sharpshooter pistol is not the strongest pistol available at the start of theboss monster, game, but it also earns you more cash if you can deduce what only costs $209, uses light ammo, has a generous 14 round magazine, reloads quickly and has a 20% chance to inflict a critical hit. As long as you're dealing with.
using the appropriate ammunition, it will easily get rid of smaller cryptids, and can even take down ghouls will a little careful dodging.
*** The AOD Shotgun is one of the first shotguns available, and costs about $400. For that, you get a gun that does 6.25 damage ''per pellet'' (and fires 7 pellets), is reasonably accurate at mid-range and devastating at short range, and, if you have the Primary Weapon skill, reloads quickly. You can use this gun on anything up to Echurii. There are better weapons available, of course, but the ease of acquiring the AOD and its versatility make it very practical.
*** Regular ammunition. It doesn't do extra damage to cryptids, but it does ''full'' damage no matter what it hits[[note]]If a cryptid is hit by ammunition it's not weak to, it will only take half damage[[/note]]. Given that you're not able to change ammunition while in combat, regular ammunition is a great catch-all for clearing out enemies when you're not sure what you'll be facing. [[spoiler: However, it ''cannot'' be used on Phantoms, Echurii, or Poltergeists, as regular ammunition does not have the "deals damage to supernaturals" quality.]]
** Gear:
*** The Dead Man's Map is surprisingly useful for any kind of hunt. For the low cost of $35, you get a map of the location showing you every corpse (which you can analyze to find cryptids), as well as special locations to find hints that lead to clues. This is extremely helpful for low level (Phantom) investigations, where your gear gets disrupted by the tendrils. Higher level (Echurii and Poltergeist) investigations require that you find additional hints before giving you the clue, but even then, you still have a fully functional map of the location, which is helpful all on its own.
*** The Headlamp, and it's better upgrade, the Military Headlamp. The only thing they do is increase the area for your flashlight, letting you see more at once. This is extremely effective when you run into fast moving enemies that you need to keep track of, particularly Shadow Beasts.
* CharacterClassSystem:Several Downplayed. You can pick a character classes are available class at character creation (Ninja, Merceneray, Archeologist, etc.). They have an effect on the beginning of the game, which determines your starting gear, skills and gear. The Detective, for example, starts with skills in deduction, a rusty revolver, and some bandages, while the Field Medic starts with skills in healing and a First Aid kit, but a terrible pistol. However, after starting the game, every class can do anything if you put the skill points into the right skills, and they all play the starting experience level (each classes start at level 3, except the mercenary who starts at level 2, and the drifter who starts at level 1).
same.
* ChestMonster:Two There are two kinds of mimics have been revealed so far:
in the game.
** The door mimic willtry to look like an unassuming door, but will ''very'' quickly grab the hunter you with its tongue tongue, chew on you a couple of times, and then chew on them a few times before spitting them out. Luckily, it spit you out, if you're not fast enough dodging it. It's invincible, but disappears whether it successfully grabs a meal permanently after making an attack, successful or not.
** * The painting mimic is hard to hit, has high DPS, and bursts into a mess (which can actually be almost anything wallmounted) will sprout dozens of black tentacles that and attack you very quickly cover the entire room.when you get close.

You ''can'' summon a Phantom, Echurii, or Poltergeist without learning what it is, but generally speaking, you will at least learn what you're going to be fighting before you unleash a boss, if only for the money. Because you can summon a boss when and where you want, you can also set traps in the eventual arena to deal massive damage when you need it.

* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: In the open maps and outside the house, you will sometimes stumble across trees with raven calls coming out of them. Shooting them will cause some ravens to fly out, which you can kill with your guns. Go out of your way to kill too many and [[spoiler: you will summon [[MamaBear Mother Bird]]'s wrath, a gigantic bird that tramples you with her massive foot, killing you instantly.]]
