History YMMV / CriminalCase

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: In the finale of ''Supernatural Investigations'', Jacob [[spoiler:defects to the Demon Queen under the illusion that his wife Lily, whose body the queen is trapped in, still lives inside her.]] After [[spoiler: the Queen's demise]], Jacob is EasilyForgiven by the team after he apologises for his actions, [[spoiler: despite handing Arthur's blood to the Queen, nearly resulting in her plans working]]. Many fans felt that Jacob should have, at least, been called out for his actions.
* WhatAnIdiot:
** The way Jones gets poisoned by [[spoiler:Margaret Littlewood]].\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That Jones would notice that the cupcakes she offers him look ''exactly the same'' as the one found in the victim and that he would consider this suspicious.\\
'''Instead:''' While he ''did'' decline at first, he still eats it without question, nearly getting killed as a result.
** The Inner city district has several occasions of victims missing their organs which was never found, nor the killers ever testify about them in the interrogations and the police forgot to question about them,''' multiple times''' \\
'''You'd Expect:''' That the police to go question them again in prison about where those organs are.\\
'''Instead:''' The police never thought of doing such a thing, Only when the political figures start getting involved when they finally catch on about the organ stealing scheme.
** The last case of the Ivywood Hills arc of Pacific Bay. The police discovered that the Utopians intended to broadcast a brainwashing film during the Ivywood Film Awards ceremony, but could not get any strong evidence of it to stop the scheme in time, or cancel or postpone the ceremony. In the short hours before it, the player manages to capture the murderer of the most recent murder, but not the brainwashing film or the author of it.\\
'''You'd Expect:''' That the police department would not watch the ceremony, as they know what is about to happen.\\
'''Instead:''' They watched it, and were all brainwashed, with the only exceptions of Hannah, Russell, and the player, who were attending the sentencing of the criminal at the time.

** A Killer Among Us (Case 56 of Pacific Bay) is, without a doubt, the biggest AssPull since It All Ends Here back in Grimsborough. Four of the five suspects in the murder of [[spoiler: Danny Moto]] are all members of the Pacific Bay Police Department and the fifth is Karen Knight. [[spoiler: The killer is revealed to be none other than Frank Knight, who was actually warming up to the player as a friend and a partner. He killed Danny because of the younger man taunting him about the leader of the Paradise City heist and trying to bring his family together. While he's willing to accept the consequences for his actions, Karen puts a gun to Chief Andrea Marquez's head and demands that Frank be let go. The Chief, not wanting anyone to be hurt, agrees and they escape the courthouse to head to The Wastes. It's also revealed that Karen herself was the sixth person in the Paradise City heist.]]

** A Killer Among Us (Case 59 of Pacific Bay) is, without a doubt, the biggest AssPull since It All Ends Here back in Grimsborough. Four of the five suspects in the murder of [[spoiler: Danny Moto]] are all members of the Pacific Bay Police Department and the fifth is Karen Knight. [[spoiler: The killer is revealed to be none other than Frank Knight, who was actually warming up to the player as a friend and a partner.

The Chief, not wanting anyone to be hurt, agrees and they escape the courthouse to head to The Wastes. It's also revealed that Karen herself was the sixth person in the Paradise City heist.]]

** The social life of the Player Character. While it is obvious that their colleagues respect them and view them as a true friend, we never see our character's life outside of their job. Some fans have stated it would be nice if the player character had a love interest in each season or we got to see their family.

* MagnificentBastard: [[VideoGame/CriminalCaseGrimsborough ''Grimsborough's'' "The Ghost of Grimsborough]]": [[RichesToRags Patrick Rufio is a wealthy man on the verge of bankruptcy]] who hires artist Wilhelm Moss to create a portrait of the Mad Pilgrim, [[SpookyPainting supposedly cursed to kill whoever tries to paint him]]. Patrick sends letters claiming to be the Mad Pilgrim to fool Moss, then kills him in his art room to blame the curse and [[DeadArtistsAreBetter inflate the value of Moss' painting]]. When the police arrive, [[LockedRoomMystery Patrick's method of killing stumps them]] and shows his skills brushing a suspiciously buried logbook and pulls a prank to scare the GBPD without being caught. When found out, Patrick shows respect to the player, admits his plan to sell the copy as the original to make a fortune and [[GracefulLoser calmly accepts his life sentence, calling it a fair trade for the creation of a masterpiece]].

** ''[[VideoGame/CriminalCaseTheConspiracy The Conspiracy]]'': [[spoiler:[[TheManBehindTheMan Denise Daniels]] is the head of the Space and Aeronautics Research Agency and TheChessmaster behind [[Characters/CriminalCaseAdAstra Ad Astra]]. [[EvilutionaryBiologist Obsessed with human enhancement]], Denise had attempted to create an invincible race of {{artificial human}}s for years. She had raised her first experiment and daughter, Rozetta Pierre, into having a superiority complex, only to quickly abandon her after she turns out to be no different than any other humans besides her intelligence. This in turn causes Rozetta to become a social outcast, [[WellDoneSonGuy with her attempts to impress her mother falling on deaf ears]]. When the meteor dropped a year prior to the plot, Denise manipulates Rozetta into building a dome and extracting the meteorite's [[{{Unobtainium}} Berzelium]], hoping to brainwash Grimsborough with the chemical. Behind her back, Denise uses the Berzelium to create an invincible race of humans under her command, hoping to use them to establish a new world order. When Ad Astra's plans are foiled, Denise begins setting them up for execution and sets her plans into motion by obtaining the meteorite, hoping to use its core to destroy Grimsborough with a nuclear earthquake. She promises to spare her lawyer, Martin Davenport, from death if he enacts her plans, only to execute him after he fails. When confronted, Denise releases her neohumans, wreaking havoc across the city, before taunting and [[OffingTheOffspring killing Rozetta]]]].

** ''[[VideoGame/CriminalCasePacificBay Pacific Bay]]'': [[spoiler:[[AGodAmI Albert Tesla]], the overarching antagonist of the final three cases, was a [[MadScientist scientist]] obsessed with transferring his mind into a supercomputer. As the [[AIIsACrapshoot Computer Interface]], Tesla establishes Meteor Systems before transforming Pacific Bay from a barren wasteland into the prosperous city it is today. Displeased by the level of crime ravaging the city, Tesla decides to destroy it through mass bombing; those that subject themselves to his authority are to be digitalized into a virtual reality where he is the supreme ruler. To this end, he manipulates Frank and Karen Knight into stealing plutonium under the false pretense that doing so would allow them to reunite with their comatose daughter. When Frank gives Amy information on how to stop him, Tesla releases five murderers, one of which murders him. Tesla temporarily halts his destruction of Pacific Bay to engage Amy and the player in a sadistic game of cat and mouse. If they were to prove to him that justice still existed by finding Frank's killer, he would abandon his plans for a virtual world; if not, he would raze Pacific Bay to the ground. Even when the killer is found, Tesla [[ILied doesn't live up to his side of the bargain]], gleefully admitting that he was still going to decimate Pacific Bay regardless. Despite claiming to be well-intentioned in his goals, Tesla proves himself to be a [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist hypocritical madman]], [[BigBadSlippage no better than the criminals he resents]]]].

** George Mathison becomes this in Case 30 of ''Supernatural Investigation''. Some fans are okay with the twist that [[spoiler:he is actually a demon spy, as supposed allies who actually working with the season's BigBad is not something new.]] Others dislike it because [[spoiler:his twist arrives ''too late'' and that there is little to no foreshadowing about it, making it come off as a ShockingSwerve.]]

* FanDislikedExplanation: Fans of ''Supernatural Investigations'' prefer to forget about [[spoiler:George Mathison really being a demon in the final case]], feeling that the revelation is a ShockingSwerve that ends up being for naught [[spoiler:since all the demons are killed off in the end]].

* LoveToHate: [[SmugSnake Alden Greene]] and [[AbusiveParents Miriam Young]], BIG TIME.
** [[BitchInSheepsClothing Anbu Devanesan]] from ''World Edition'' Case 32.
** [[ManipulativeBitch Princess Nefertiti]] [[spoiler:aka Nebet]] from ''Travel in Time, [[spoiler:as many fans who loved her did a complete 180 when she was revealed to be EvilAllAlong.]]

** Most fans were not surprised about the revelation that [[spoiler:Duncan Young]] is the Night Walker, given [[spoiler:he appears in every White Peaks case and happens to become a suspect in the final one.]] In fact, LetsPlay/{{Pitchingace88}} has been quite expecting this development since the earlier cases in White Peaks. Many were ''not'' actually happy about it, though, and would have preferred it to be anyone else.

** ''[[VideoGame/CriminalCaseSupernaturalInvestigations Supernatural Investigations]]''' Case #9 "Mad World": [[spoiler:[[MadDoctor Dr. Lucrezia Stein]], the [[AssholeVictim victim]], is the sadistic owner of [[BedlamHouse Blackmoor Asylum]]. Lucrezia regularly [[PlayingWithSyringes experimented on the patients against their will]], either as punishment for opposing her [[ForTheEvulz or for her amusement]]; said victims included Charity and Mercy, twins who she kidnapped and conjoined. She also [[AbusiveParents abused her daughter]], Savannah Austin, eventually throwing her into the asylum and drugging her, and killed various patients to use their body parts to build Adam Enstrom, her assistant who would end up killing her as revenge for her mistreatment of him. An utterly demented madwoman, Lucrezia dies completely unmourned, with Gwen expressing [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing immense relief and satisfaction]] over her death]].

** ''[[Characters/CriminalCaseWorldEdition World Edition]]'''s Case #21 "Plagued By Death": [[spoiler:Ayush Patil is a sociology professor as well as the mastermind behind the outbreak of an epidemic spreading throughout Bangalore. Starting as the assistant of Dr. Shweta Noorani, Ayush steals a strand of the virus that she created, and injects it into his student Sunil Dhudwar. Once spread, victims of the malady develop pus-filled mouth lesions before dying a [[CruelAndUnusualDeath slow and painful death]]. By the time the Bureau becomes involved in the epidemic, hundreds of civilians had succumbed to the illness. Lars Douglas--the Lab Chief of the Bureau--also contracts the virus and is in danger of dying as well. When confronted, Ayush takes full credit for having unleashed the virus, stating that once it became worldwide, not only would it solve the problem of overpopulation [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt by killing millions of people]], but he would also usher in a new era, ruling over the survivors as {{a god|Am I}}. Despite being a one-time character, Ayush is without a doubt the most depraved suspect that the Bureau had encountered]].

*** [[spoiler:Omar Bahir is a professor specializing in Ancient Arabic. While he may [[FauxAffablyEvil seem sociable and polite]], he is, in truth, a [[Characters/CriminalCaseSOMBRA SOMBRA]] agent. As The Sword, Omar [[ManipulativeBastard manipulates]] rebels into overthrowing their rulers, the end goal being to [[WarForFunAndProfit incite a massive war culminating in the Sahara Region becoming a cell for the nefarious organization]]. When the Bureau becomes involved, Omar shoots Chief Elizabeth Ripley with a poison dart, seemingly killing her. In a scheme to draw the Bureau out, Omar coerces a harmless tribe leader into helping him kidnap 8-year-old Andrew Stern, only to decapitate him once he had [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness no further use for him]]. Armand Dupont's life is also placed in critical danger when he is exposed to the poison on the murder weapon. Omar finalizes this by attempting to kill Carmen and the player with a poisonous grenade.

** ''[[Characters/CriminalCaseSupernaturalInvestigations Supernatural Investigations]]''' (season 7's) Case #9 "Mad World": [[spoiler:[[MadDoctor Dr. Lucrezia Stein]], the [[AssholeVictim victim]], is the sadistic owner of [[BedlamHouse Blackmoor Asylum]]. Lucrezia regularly [[PlayingWithSyringes experimented on the patients against their will]], either as punishment for opposing her or for her amusement; said victims included Charity and Mercy, twins who she kidnapped and conjoined.

* FanPreferredCouple: Carrie/Enzo is probably the least popular of all the series' official couples due to the rocky start of their relationship and the rushed season resulting in an underbaked chemistry and an overall implausible romantic progression. A number of fans prefer to see her get together with Emile instead.

* ArchivePanic: Good luck if you've just recently started to play the game. For the first five seasons, the total cases for each season range from 56 to ''60''. Not to mention each case (except Grimsborough's Case #1 without the Additional Investigation) may need a few days to complete, unless you speed things up using cash. It gets better since Season 6, when the total number of cases have been halved.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: There's almost no saint victim. In virtually every case, the victims are loathed by more than one suspects for one reason or another, regardless of whether they deserve to be treated as [[AssholeVictim Asshole Victim]]s or not. As noted in {{Narm}} below, the game shamelessly depicts murder victims [[UsefulNotes/VictimBlaming in a negative light]], and the suspects [[SpeakIllOfTheDead openly trash-talk them]] as if they never learned how to [[NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead not speak ill of the dead]].

** During ''Travel in Time'', the team goes from correcting minor alterations in history to being stranded in a changing timeline, then [[spoiler:coming back to an alternate present and being forced to travel back in time again to set things right.]] Not only does this season bring back three main characters from previous seasons and give new insight to their personalities, but the new team members this season are still very likeable in spite of how faster-paced this season is compared to previous ones. Furthermore, this season is quite blunt about [[RealityEnsues how harsh reality is and how the smallest actions have consequences]], and often weaves that into the storyline, and the amount of suspense and high stakes in this season can rival that of ''The Conspiracy''.

** A Killer Among Us (Case 59 of Pacific Bay) is, without a doubt, the biggest ShockingSwerve since It All Ends Here back in Grimsborough. Four of the five suspects in the murder of [[spoiler: Danny Moto]] are all members of the Pacific Bay Police Department and the fifth is Karen Knight. [[spoiler: The killer is revealed to be none other than Frank Knight, who was actually warming up to the player as a friend and a partner. He killed Danny because of the younger man taunting him about the leader of the Paradise City heist and trying to bring his family together. While he's willing to accept the consequences for his actions, Karen puts a gun to Chief Andrea Marquez's head and demands that Frank be let go. The Chief, not wanting anyone to be hurt, agrees and they escape the courthouse to head to The Wastes. It's also revealed that Karen herself was the sixth person in the Paradise City heist.]]

* ShockingSwerve:
** The final case of Ivywood Hills reveals that [[spoiler:Holly Hopper]]'s apparent suicide in the previous case was fake. Some people found the revelation to be nonsensical and unnecessary. The fact that this reveal also comes with another huge reveal that [[spoiler:Holly is the Utopian's leader (many fans were expecting Jupiter Crane to be the leader, as this would have given the entire conflict a more dramatic weight, due to his [[ArchnemesisDad history]] with Russell)]] might have something to do with the backlash as well.
** Case 30 of ''Supernatural Investigations'' reveals that [[spoiler:FBI agent and ally George Mathison, who started off as a character trying to disprove the supernatural and blame the team for meddling in their affairs, is actually a demon sent to infiltrate the FBI and capture Arthur]]. Many fans were not impressed, believing it takes away from [[spoiler:his]] CharacterDevelopment, had no foreshadowing unlike most other [[spoiler:demons]], and [[spoiler:ends up being for naught, since George dies with the rest of the demons in the end]].

** ''[[Characters/CriminalCaseSupernaturalInvestigations Supernatural Investigations]]''' (season 7's) Case #9 "Mad World": [[spoiler:[[MadDoctor Dr. Lucrezia Stein]], the [[AssholeVictim victim]], is the sadistic owner of [[BedlamHouse Blackmoor Asylum]].
