* AdaptationalBadass: In the source material, ''Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth'', the main character was a college student who visited Innsmouth on a whim. He was chased out of town in much the same manner as Jack before passing out from horror upon seeing a Deep One in person. He still brought death to the Deep Ones and dismantled the Marsh family's empire, but only by virtue of telling the authorities who then did all the real work. Compare that to Jack, who is MUCH more hands on.

** The final timed escaped sequence is almost impossible to complete on the PC version without using a trainer, as a programming oversight results in your movement speed being slower on the PC version. This is actually a bug related to the screen resolution you are using. The higher your resolution is set to, the slower Jack moves. If you have a large monitor and try putting the game to something like 1400x900 so the screen is not stretched and blurry, you will move about as fast as chilled honey. This is fixable though, if you choose something like 800x600. The bug is claimed to be fixed in the UsefulNotes/{{Steam}} version, although some users [[http://steamcommunity.com/app/22340/discussions/0/620703493318662270/ experienced the issue]].

** The escape sequence at the end doesn't give enough time for the player to escape. This is either caused by an alleged reduced movement speed on higher screen resolutions, or from the timer counting down faster than it should.

* HundredPercentCompletion: Gathering all collectible intel items as well as performing all optional actions is required to get the extended ending that actually explains what the hell was going on with Jack the whole time. That's just ''one'' requirement, though. You also need to score an "A" rank in the game by finishing quickly, not using too many saves, and overall playing exceptionally well. Or you can just watch it on Youtube. There is an unofficial fan-made patch [[http://sucklead.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/DCoTEPatch.zip here]] that removes some of the limitations, so one can actually take time to enjoy the game and still get the best ending.
