* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: At the very beginning Death points out the large zombie horde behind Malice as one of the reasons she's being kicked out of the afterlife, to which Malice denies that she was responsible for them. This is never brought up again with the zombies simply being relegated to obstacles in the game's NonStandardGameOver, [[NoodleIncident and we never get elaboration on how Malice created the horde in the first place.]]
* HilariousInHindsight: The game shares a shocking number of similarities with ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'':
** Each star a SignificantGreenEyedRedhead female protagonist with a cocky, IWorkAlone attitude (the titular Malice, and Aloy in ''Horizon'').
** Both protagonists are treated with a reverance by the games' [=NPCs=] they reject (Malice is hailed as a goddess and called "Mother" by the Earth's inhabitants while Aloy is hailed as a legendary machine hunter and almost worshipped after [[spoiler:"speaking" with the All-Mother]]).
** Both games feature thematic elements based around motherhood (Malice is called "Mother" by most of her allies and is heavily implied to be MotherNature, while Aloy grew up in a tribe that worships the All-Mother to the point of naming every major location around it).
** Each game is set in a world that mixes nature with machinery, complete with MechanicalAnimals to fight.
** Finally, both games' plots involve the leads trying to [[spoiler:prevent the main antagonists (who are malevolent, red-themed entities) from killing off all life on the planet.]] (Dog God in ''Malice'' and [[spoiler:HADES]] in ''Zero Dawn''.

While visiting his mother-in-law for the first time, Andy notices a duplicate statue. Further indication of Tracy's constant deceit.
