Not YMMV. Scrappy must be unintentional and not just be hated for gameplay.


* AmbiguousEnding: In the end cutscene, it's never shown if your character went back up into the ship, or it left you behind on Earth with your house in ruins.



* {{Defictionalization}}: The In-Flight Magazine near the beginning of the game. It shipped as a physical booklet in the game box, and as a [=PDF=] version on the Gog.com re-release.



* TheScrappy: [[PollyWantsAMicrophone The smegging parrot]]. An [[TheyPlottedAPerfectlyGoodWaste intentional]] one, and acknowledged in-game, but oh Primus are it and the quests involving it annoying. Including the chicken puzzle mentioned on the main page.

* SerialNumbersFiledOff: The novel seems to be going out of its way not to mention anything from the ''Franchise/HitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy'' series that the game spun off of. The [[TranslatorMicrobes translation blisters]] are the equivalent to Babel fish and the Titanic has an unnamed method of FasterThanLightTravel instead of a prototype Infinite Improbability Drive.

* HarsherInHindsight: Leovinus' closing message at the end of the game can lose its humor when considering [[Creator/DouglasAdams who played him]] and [[AuthorExistenceFailure what happened to him]] after the game was finished. A Website/YouTube video of the clip in question even lists it as [[TearJerker "Douglas Adams Eulogy?"]]

** The third class entertainment room, a small cupboard like place where you can stare at a painting and listen to music, sounds a lot like the Amazon 'wellness chamber' doesn't it?

*** Given Douglas Adams‘ place within Doctor Who culture (and that Russell T. Davies specifically is enough if a fan to have written Hitchhikers Guide introductions) this is certainly a knowing reference rather than fun coincidence!
