1* AlasPoorScrappy: [[spoiler:Mooky is very obnoxious, but he didn't deserve to die like that...]]
2* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: It's from the guy who did the soundtracks of ''Anime/GhostInTheShell'', ''Film/DarkWater'', and ''Manga/MaisonIkkoku'', among other things.
3** "Escape", the music played during the "RaceAgainstTheClock" moments.
4* ItsEasySoItSucks: The main flaw with the gameplay. It throws ludicrous amounts of health and ammo pickups at the player, most of the monsters are very slow, and the weapons available are very powerful, all of which adds up to the game having very little challenge to it.
5* MemeticMutation: It's been shilled by Advertising/SegataSanshiro!
6* {{Narm}}: The voice acting. All of it.
7** John's particular goofy way of catching a key card in one cutscene.
8** An attempt at a JumpScare of a body dropping from the ceiling is made hilarious by the stock splat sound effect and no animation whatsoever from the body in its descent. Stock sounds that sound way too cartoony also undermine several other scenes throughout the game.
9** [[spoiler:There's also the matter of the mutated cow near the end of the game.]]
10* NeverLiveItDown: How Commander Clansy sees his demotion from a submarine commander to leader of an underwater base. The trouble is that his "one mistake" was [[spoiler:torpedoing a passenger ship full of civilians in contested waters before a war]]. In context, his "punishment" was incredibly light. Worse, judging by the way he took it, he views ''himself'' as the bigger victim than [[spoiler:the people he killed]].
11* SoBadItsGood: The voice acting. Dubois gets a shout out in-particular with his shrill falsetto fusion between Creator/DameEdna and a South African!
12* TearJerker:
13** [[spoiler:Mooky's death.]]
14** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DtlMhG-toU "Old Friend"]], which plays during [[spoiler:Colonel [=McCoy=]'s HeroicSacrifice.]]
15* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Obvious ''Resident Evil'' inspiration aside, there's plenty in the game's main setup that could stand on its own as a uniquely-flavored SurvivalHorror, but while it does capitalize on ''some'' ideas (including the existence of an oxygen mechanic, taking advantage of [[UnderwaterBase the unique setting]]), [[{{Narm}} the actual plot]] [[ItsEasySoItSucks and execution leave a lot to be desired]].
