* MummiesAtTheDinnerTable: David has the corpse of "the love of his life", Violet, stashed in one of the rooms of his apartment. When he's finally about to escape his apartment complex, David hears noises coming from Violet's room and goes to "rescue" her corpse, carrying her around as he leaves because she's "come back to him". Violet of course attacks him in the elevator, forcing him to stab her in the head and note to himself he needs to get it together.

* CreepyChild: Charlie, one of the survivors you encounter in the coastal town, is bald and wrinkled and looks more like a 4 foot tall old man than an actual child. He's also got the belligerent attitude to match. His mother, Belinda, also still breastfeeds him, which the rest of the group find understandably [[{{Squick}} Squicky]].
Added DiffLines:
* DwindlingParty: True to the genre, [[spoiler: your group of survivors gets whittled down over the course of the game. Belinda gets eaten by a zombie shark, Stan pulls a HeroicSacrifice to hold off said shark while everyone else escapes, Charlie shoots himself in the head when you give him a gun to defend himself before the last stand, and the remaining survivors are killed one-by-one during the last stand against the unending hordes of the undead. Only David survives, being rescued by Stan who survived his showdown with the shark.]]
Added DiffLines:
* HarmfulToMinors: Quite a few children are shown as dying during the zombie apocalypse. Your neighbor's two children turn out to have become zombies and attack you, a number of zombie children ballerinas attack you at the town's dance school, and [[spoiler: Charlie is DrivenToSuicide some time after the death of his mother.]]
* OneHitPointWonder: There's no health meter in the game, and being grabbed by an enemy is an instant death. However, you can find and collect kitchen knives laying around, which will automatically be used to stab a zombie in the head and escape from their grasp if they grab you.

* TheCameo: Survival horror youtuber Suzi the Sphere Hunter appears later in the game as a woman who's been locked inside a coffin for reasons which are never explained.
* DeathBySex: The prologue chapter has Liam being invited by his new girlfriend Razor to a cemetary for sex. When Liam leaves her to get a condom from his car, he comes back to find her being eaten by zombies and a few minutes later Liam himself is subject to an UncertainDoom after being jumped by a zombie nun.
* EyeScream: Early on the game, David gets one of his eyes gouged out when a zombie arm bursts out of a wall and impales his head on a jagged piece of wood jutting out of the wall. Fortunately, it doesn't negatively affect your combat effectiveness in any way.
Added DiffLines:
* StealthSequel: The DecoyProtagonist from the game's prologue is named Liam, and seems to be Sara's lout boyfriend from ''VideoGame/{{Bloodwash}}''.

''Night at the Gates of Hell'' is a first-person [[{{Retraux}} retro-style]] SurvivalHorror game created by Black Eyed Priest (Jordan King) and Henry Hoare, and published by Creator/PuppetCombo under his Torture Star Video sub-brand for third-party games.
Similar to Puppet Combo's own games, as well as Jordan King and Henry Hoare's previous game, ''VideoGame/{{Bloodwash}}'', the game uses a [[UsefulNotes/{{Playstation}} PS1]][=/=]VHS era aesthetic. While ''Bloodwash'' was inspired by [[SlasherMovie slasher films]], ''Night at the Gates of Hell'' is inspired by old zombie films. Players take the role of David, who must leave his apartment and survive after a ZombieApocalypse brought about by a Satanic cult, in which the dead walk the Earth and feast on the flesh of the living.
----
!!NightAtTheGatesOfHell contains examples of:
* RevolversAreJustBetter: Your primary weapon is a revolver, which can kill zombies with a single headshot, but takes longer to reload the more bullets you fire from it.
* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: In the coastal town you can acquire a shotgun, which doesn't need to be aimed as precisely as the revolver, and can kill some of the more difficult enemies more easily, such as the zombies whose dislocated heads are hanging down their back making them difficult to headshot from the front.
* ZombieApocalypse: Of the "the gates of Hell have been opened" variety.
