* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Naturally, each player character can be a better or worse person depending on how you interpret the events of the game. The Twins, though, stand out. [[spoiler:Given how they're heavily implied to have burned their own ponies to death, and the various deadly pranks they tried to kill their parents with beforehand, it's hard to see them truly reforming the way they're shown to do in the good ending. It's entirely possible to read the good ending as them telling the truth simply to avoid eating their own poisoned soup, and pretending it was out of remorse for their parents.]]

Added DiffLines:

* SpiritualSuccessor:
** The game shares and updates many gameplay concepts from Gilbert's ''VideoGame/ManiacMansion''.
** The Time Traveler's section feels very reminiscent of ''VideoGame/DayOfTheTentacle'', the sequel to ''Maniac Mansion''.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: The monsters are nothing to write home about; scenes that show them whole tend to highlight how improvable the practical effects are.

Critical Research Failure is a disambiguation page


* CriticalResearchFailure: Common sense would dictate that the characters shouldn't be able to have conversations underwater - since they have mouthpieces fully inserted into their mouths.

* FanonDiscontinuity: The last thirty-five minutes or so of the film can inspire this, as their less well-liked than the earlier parts due to the absence of the first two fatalities, [[spoiler:Strode and Charlie]], and how a lot of the remaining story is caught up in paranoia about spreading the parasite rather than just the quest out of the cave.

* ClicheStorm: The film was slammed for being basically ''Film/TheThing1982'' [[RecycledINSPACE IN A CAVE!]] and not doing very much differently from such kind of films.

Added DiffLines:

* ScrappyMechanic: In order to get all the multiple endings for each character, the game must be played through several times. This isn't so bad as mixing up which characters are chosen each time adds variety to the playthrough. But the opening sequence and the 3 additional sequences (Prospector, Zookeeper and Hermit) must be completed ''every single time'' and these sequences play out exactly the same each time, making repeated runs become repetitive and tedious when these sequences come up again.
