* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: Only the manual and walkthrough explain much of anything. The in-game text is very difficult to decipher.

* CameraScrew: There's two places where you need to run towards the camera, but can only do it slowly because of how it operates (and these cost time in each of the [[TimedMission timed segments]]). Also, the fixed camera can radically change at some points, causing those who click quickly to have Dehon accidentally walk off the side of the wooden bridge. Finally, in Act 4, some zones require clicking right against the edge of the screen a few times to switch to the next camera.
