* BadBadActing: The characters in ''Tharsis'' have very wooden voice acting, to the point that it becomes obvious even to someone who doesn't speak Japanese.

* {{Expy}}: Foxxo, the town's mayor, is one of [[Videogame/AnimalCrossing Tom Nook]]. When he's first introduced, he actually ''gives'' the player money, but shortly afterward the force corrupting the game immediately forces him to put the player in debt instead, in a sort of nod to how Tom Nook actually is vs how many ''Animal Crossing'' fans perceive him.

** When not looked at by the player or any [=NPCs=], Foxxo's gold statue reverts to all fours. In an analogous location in {{Hell}}, the statue is of a bull instead, suggesting that Foxxo is linked to the Golden Calf from [[Literature/BookOfExodus Exodus 32]].
* SevenDeadlySins: In the first episode, the agents document a "spontaneous level generation" anomaly that maps to each of the Deadly Sins. In order:
** Gluttony is represented by a landscape made of cake and mounds of sugar, with ambience including the sound of drinks being poured and someone chewing very loudly.
** Envy is a blue landscape littered with giant statues of the player, each with a single eye constantly staring at the camera. [[AlienSky The sky has eyes too.]]
** {{Greed}} is a yellow room filled with mountains of gold coins and copies of famous paintings. To progress, the player has to "steal" one of the gold piles to clear a path, but wisely leaves it behind.
** {{Lust}} is represented by a flesh-covered room littered with what can only be described as [[{{Squick}} pube bushes]]. The room pulses with a heartbeat and a baby can be heard cooing in the background. A few drips of blood drop from the sky and searching for their source leads to a RainOfBlood and a dozens of red screaming faces erupting from the floor. A giant disembodied hand holding a pair of forceps chases the player out.
** Sloth is a more normal forest littered with loudspeakers playing a song in Spanish that chastises the listener for thinking "that you would rest while I work." as the player moves forward, the song slows down and the screen darkens, until snapping back to normal just before they leave.
** Wrath is blood-red and populated by black silhouettes cowering from a single one-eyed giant that appears to be yelling at the closest figure. The ambience is OminousLatinChanting under UsefulNotes/RobertOppenheimer's famous "Destroyer of Worlds" speech.
** {{Pride}} is a dark, glitchy area populated with tarnished gold statues all staring at themselves in mirrors. Moving past them leads to a pristine green meadow and a ring of angel statues. Past that are a large set of gates which lead to {{Heaven}} as represented by the town chapel. This being Pride, you can walk right through.

Having assumed the tape was depicting a normal game he had never seen before from a brief watch, it was left on his VCR until his friend started a conversation over it. Apparently it was a completely unknown game, using an experimental peripheral called the [=THBrain=]. He offered to help digitize it so it can be posted on Youtube and the creator, admitting that he doesn't have the best knowledge on how to do so, accepts the offer.

''Valle Verde'' is an AnalogHorror series on Website/YouTube created by Alluvium that details a lost [=PlayStation=] game.

The creator of the series, having found himself lost in the Ecological Park in La Plata, stumbles upon a statuette marking a recently disturbed dig site with a red string poking out of the ground. A week later, having returned with a shovel, he digs it up to find a metal lunchbox with red and blue string attached to it. Inside was a strange VHS tape covered in styrofoam.

Having assumed the tape was depicting a normal game he had never seen before from a brief watch, it was left on his VCR until his friend started a conversation over it. Apparently it was a completely unknown game, using an experimental peripheral called the [=THBrain=]. He offered to help digitize it so it can be posted on Youtube and the creator, admitting that he doesn't have the best knowledge on how to do so, accepts the offer.

The series can be found on Alluvium's channel [[https://www.youtube.com/@-Alluvium- here]].
