YMMV / Erica

Go To

  • Alternative Character Interpretation: Across the board. There is no route in the game that tells you who is telling Erica the truth, every potentially sinister happening also either has a potentially innocent explanation or is suggested by someone who might not be a reliable source, and it's left fully up to the player to decide which characters they think are trustworthy and whether they believe the cult exists at all.
  • Diagnosed by the Audience: Kristie shows both traits of autism and OCD, and generally acts much more childish than other girls of her age.
  • It's the Same, Now It Sucks!: The game was considered good by most critics, but some of them considered the fact it released after other pieces of interactive media like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch and Telling Lies had played against its favor, making it feel less original.
  • Moe: Erica is very cute and has big, doe-like eyes that just make her look more endearing whenever she's about to cry.
  • The Woobie: Poor Erica just can't catch a break, and most of the endings imply life will keep being hard for her.
    • Also the three girls she meets at Delphi House. Hannah dies no matter what, after years of suffering at the hands of the cult, Tobi may end up dead after finally finding friends that understand her and Kirstie not only loses her father, but may also lose all of her friends if Tobi is killed.
