* DisguisedHorrorStory: The game initially appears as a harmless HiddenObjectGame, but it gets darker as the game progresses. Larry thinks you're stalking him and wants you to leave him alone, your magnifying glass zooms into dark crime scenes, and some shady men try to have you close into Larry's whereabouts. [[spoiler:Then you're given a .50 caliber sniper rifle to kill him, only for you to be pulled from the omniscient 3rd-person view and into the map to be stabbed to death.]]

* GenuineHumanHide: [[spoiler:Willy Mack had killed Larry and carved his face off to take his identity. After his cover's blown and he's killed the other men that were after him, Willy Mack discards Larry's face at an intersection, and decides to '''''take yours''''' as a replacement. An observant player will also notice several mutilated corpses whenever the looking glass views a past crime scene - implicit that Willy has been doing this to his victims for years.]]

Unfortunately for them, Willy proves to be more dangerous than they thought, as he easily kills every last one of them.]]
