* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The intro cinematic to ''Under a Killing Moon'' has a sequence of what appears to be robed cultists milling around ruins where one of them finds a statue of a bird and raises it up towards the sky. Tex's initial case in the game is to investigate the theft of that same statue, but otherwise what that scene has to do with anything is left unanswered. WordOfGod has clarified it was intended to show how the organization behind the main plot was part of an AncientConspiracy.

Tex's initial case in the game is to investigate the theft of that same statue, but otherwise what that scene all this has to do with anything is left unanswered. WordOfGod has clarified it was intended to show how the organization obsessed with racial purity that is behind the main plot was part of an AncientConspiracy.everything dates back at least to ThoseWackyNazis.

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Lowell Percival]], from ''Under a Killing Moon'', is the secret leader of the [[ApocalypseCult Crusade of Genetic Purity]]. Seeking to "cleanse" the Earth of impure life, Percival has his top assassin, the Chameleon, eliminate a great deal of obstacles and loose ends to get his hands on the necessary component to create a powerful virus. Testing it on unwilling subjects, Percival intends to release it into the atmosphere of earth, [[OmnicidalManiac exterminating all life]] save [[MasterRace the few he deems worthy]] to survive in his space station, the Moon Child.

** The air duct maze, also in ''The Pandora Directive''. At one point you have to send a remote-controlled robot in an air duct, guide it to rooms that you have to PixelHunt for items, and bring it back. You thought the movement controls were bad during the normal game? Here they are even worse, not in the least helped by the fact that the duct contains hazards such as lethal fans which require tricky timing to bypass. The maze is rather large with little variation, making for a tedious experience.

* ThatOneLevel: Several examples.
** The lava maze room in the Mayan Temple on Day Nine in Gamer Mode of ''The Pandora Directive''. It's bad enough to navigate once. It's even worse if you get through it and realize you forgot to pick up one of the items you need for the end of the game in the first half of the temple. To the game's credit, it won't let you advance to the final room without the needed items. The bad news is this means you have to go through the maze two more times like [[https://youtu.be/IZPv-7U_H1g this Let's Play author did]].
** The art gallery in J. Saint Gideon's mansion of ''Overseer''. There's a pattern to which parts of the floor are effected by an InstantDeathRadius effect and there's no visual cues to help you with the timing. You just have to memorize the pattern and hope for the best.
** The Tesla Institute in ''Tesla Effect''. Between the giant flies in The Atrium and the mines on the floor, it's incredibly easy to wind up seemingly dying for no apparent reason. And then there's the giant spider in the maze...
