** Whereas the vast majority of the stars in the base game can be located quite easily and typically require nothing more than some outside-the-box thinking to obtain, most of the stars in ''Road to Gehenna'' are so obtusely hidden that oftentimes just figuring out where the damn things are is half the challenge. The second half often involves reaching some out-of-the-way location by using puzzle elements in bizarre, counter-intuitive ways that wouldn't even cross most players' minds without explicitly being told what to do, a prime example being [[spoiler:the star hidden in "The Swapper", which involves using a hexahedron to platform across the wall surrounding the puzzle area in order to reach the star on a high-up ledge]].

* MoodWhiplash: The numerous easter eggs can cause this, breaking the immersion of the story. There's also an in-universe instance -- in one level, a glitch causes the sky to go dark and the textures to start to disappear. Elohim notices and makes a pronouncement about how he will not allow this sort of thing, and the world reasserts itself. It sounds very godly and majestic, but once the glitch is fixed he announces, "Excess data cleared" as if he was no more than a maintenance program.
