YMMV / The Room: The Game

• Anticlimax Boss: Literally. If you choose to fight Johnny's boss, he goes down in a single action. See Curb-Stomp Battle on the main page.
• Catharsis Factor: After Johnny's boss refuses to promote Johnny, makes him clean the bank after hours as punishment for being late, and gloats during Johnny's rampage about the money he never paid him, Johnny ripping out the boss' heart in the subsequent "battle" is this.
  Johnny: Banking hours are over.
• Fridge Brilliance: Why are you given $6 million in spending money? Because that's how much it cost to make the movie.
• Harsher in Hindsight: When The Disaster Artist revealed the shit Juliette Danielle, Lisa's actress, was put through and the unrealistic standards of beauty Tommy set for the role that she couldn't possibly achieve, Lisa's sprites in this game, which have a tendency to portray her as a fat Gonk, became significantly less funny.
• Heartwarming Moments: Despite it being creepy with the whole surveillance room, Johnny still gets the chance to say goodbye to Denny before leaving Earth, which is nice.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • The bonus ending of Johnny being an alien isn't quite as far-fetched as you'd think, as The Disaster Artist revealed that Wiseau's original intended ending was for Johnny to fly away in his car while being revealed as a vampire.
  • Greg also comments in the same book that he originally suggested a backstory for Mark that was almost identical to the one that wound up being used in this game.
  • One potential Easter Egg is finding Claudette farting into a balloon. The Disaster Artist explains that Wiseau really doesn't like it when other people fart around him.
  • Johnny at one point mentions Spider-Man. In The Disaster Artist, Tommy Wiseau was played by James Franco, who played Harry Osborn in the Spiderman trilogy.
  • Peter and Chris-R don't appear on screen together in the movie, but they share a scene in the game where Chris-R steals Johnny’s car and runs down Peter. In the movie adaptation of The Disaster Artist, Kyle Vogt and Dan Janjigian have a brief exchange at the screening.
• I Knew It!: The game explains Mark's strange behavior with the fact that he's an undercover DEA agent. In his autobiography, Greg Sestero notes that he suggested the same thing during the film's production.
• That One Boss: Mark. Unlike the fight with Chris R, Johnny is on his own, and his taunt doesn't always work on Mark. Mark's glamour, on the other hand, always works on Johnny.
