* QuirkyWork: As if the original game wasn't wacky enough, ''Harvey's New Eyes'' expands on ''The Breakout's'' loony comedy with Lilli's bizzare trance segments and much higher levels of BlackComedy.

* HilariousInHindsight: Though this game came out after ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'', the way both games utilize blood with hot pink colours is the same, in order to avoid the dreaded Rated M for MatureRating.

"Fridge Tearjerker" isn't a thing.


* EsotericHappyEnding: [[spoiler: ''Contradict'' is seen by many fans as the definitive GoldenEnding, but with how ambiguous it is, there's still plenty of FridgeHorror and FridgeTearjerker to be found upon closer inspection. Lilli defies both Dr. Marcel and her (possibly) imaginary friends Gerret and Edna and leaves the asylum, but where exactly can she go from here? All her classmates are dead, the convent and her legal guardian are still under the control of Dr. Marcel and the only two people she thought she could trust might not even be real. Speaking of, we never find out whether or not Dr. Marcel was lying about Edna and Gerret being [[ImaginaryFriend Imaginary Friends]]. If he did and they were RealAfterAll, Lilli just left two innocent people behind to get tortured and brainwashed by a PsychoPsychologist.]]

* HarsherInHindsight: This game was released in 2011, and the Rabbit defending the "not going into dangerous places" mental block cites as one of the places a child could be safer than wandering around the village after dark is a Rolf Harris concert. In June of 2014, the same Rolf Harris was found guilty of a dozen indecent assault charges committed between 1968 and 1986, all involving girls with ages spanning seven years old and seventeen years old. He was later accused of more child sex offenses, many of which involved trusting, similarly young female fans who approached him alone, and formally cleared of only four of them during 2017.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Gerret, he is prominently on the box cover (Edna doesn't even get an appearance.) but he only gets focus in the first act, after that he's barely featured in the second, only resurfacing at the end of Act 3. The fact he is the only character to oppose Dr. Marcel in any way doesn't help. Poki laments this fact in the developer's commentary, as he says if he were to make another Edna & Harvey game, Gerret would be featured more.

** Harvey. Despite being the title character and appearing multiple times in the game, we never get to see him outside his BrainwashedAndCrazy, RedEyesTakeWarning state. He gets his old personality back close to the end after Lily sews his old eyes back onto his face, but it only lasts for the final boss and he doesn't get to play a major role in any case.

* ValuesDissonance: Sure a cave can be a dangerous place as well as going out at middle of the night. Yet the rabbit apparently sees nothing wrong with a little girl walk into a BAR at the middle of the night to get drunk. Granted it does shows up when she attempt to drink alcohol but at that point she would've been in huge danger already.
