Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


* UncannyValley: Invoked with Roland Walken. He is near-inhumanly tall, often engages in repetitive movements in a stiff fashion, and his speech is very delayed. And he never blinks. ''Ever.''

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=054up900FzI "Compulsive Desire"]], neurotic passenger Deborah Anderson's weird country funk theme, starts out annoying yet becomes compulsively catchy. Access themselves say it best in the video description:
--->''Anyone who's played the game will remember a certain complainer as soon as they hear this song. Yes, it's Deborah's theme song. She has a tendency to get on people's nerves, but thankfully, the comical nature of the song seems to soften things.''

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: Apparently Microsoft didn't have a lot of faith in the title, giving very little advertising and attention to it despite it being an Xbox One exclusive. When it later got a PC port, however, it got very good sales, awards and a sizable fanbase - enough that it would have led to a second season, had SWERY stayed at Access Games.

* FridgeBrilliance: The stamina meter makes a lot more sense when you realize David hardly ever eats, almost everything that goes into him is alcohol and sugar. His bad health has him constantly on the point of collapse.

* ScrappyMechanic: The stamina system feels awfully restrictive, which really discourages checking everything out. Thankfully, an update reduced stamina usage and increased the stamina recovery of food items, so it's not as annoying as it used to be.
