* ExtremelyShortTimespan: The whole game happens over the course of one night. Though this makes sense as the game itself shouldn't take more than about 30-40 minutes from start to finish.

Added DiffLines:

* SurvivalHorror: Revolver ammo is limited and because of the game's deliberately difficult aiming system it is very easy to waste bullets with missed shots in combat. Often evading enemies is a better idea than directly fighting them. That said, if you have good aim (or your monitor has a gamer crosshair feature) and explore around carefully, there's enough revolver ammo laying around to kill more or less every zombie in the neighborhood.

* DiegeticInterface: There's no [=HUD=], so you need to keep track of how many bullets are left in your revolver and how many you're still carrying by yourself.
