* HolyShitQuotient{{Narm}}: The voice acting can be a bit stilted. The flashback where [[spoiler: Max's sister dies of her illness]] should be heartbreaking, but Max doesn't even seem worried or sad at all until it's already happened.
* NightmareRetardant: Despite his excellent build-up, Iggy is one of the less threatening horrors of the game. Essentially an man with octopus legs, his creepiness is ruined by both his abrupt encounter and the big googly eye on his stomach.

* AntiClimaxBoss: Iggy the 'squid freak' is built up quite well throughout Chapter 4. He's the main reason no one can escape the island, and is described as having a constant presence as his tentacles probe the island for survivors at night. The actual confrontation is laughably brief.
