YMMV / The Silver Case

• Complete Monster: See here.
• Magnificent Bastard: "Case #3 Parade" & "Report #3 Tsuki" have the other two members of the Mikumo Boys:
  • Fuyuki is The Heavy of the Mikumo Boys' scheme whose mouth was sewn shut by the Mikumo 77 villagers. Effortlessly kidnapping Chairman Yukimura and holding him hostage, Fuyuki requests a 6 billion yen diamond paid by the Yukimura Corporation under the threat of harming him. Luring the HCU to an industrial warehouse and forcing the player to waste time going through random hurdles to reveal his location, upon acquiring the diamond, Fuyuki commits suicide by jumping down a smokestack, destroying the diamond and bankrupting the Yukimura Corporation in the process.
  • Hanao Hiseki is a bomber who was blinded by the Mikumo 77 villagers. A computer wiz able to use special technology to get around his blindness, Hiseki is responsible for blowing up Chairman Yukimura's mansion in order to get the HCU's attention, killing himself before he can be arrested. During his spare time, after mistakenly receiving an email from Tokio Morishima, Hiseki decided to prank the journalist by posing as "The Bat", making Tokio solve Mother Goose-themed riddles with the false promise of revealing his location. Upon Tokio's completion, Hiseki emails him after his suicide revealing the truth, while admitting he was a fun spectator.
• That One Achievement: "Your score is in your heart". This one requires the player to answer all of Morikawa's rapid-fire 100 quiz correctly in #2: spectrum. Yes, all of them. And just to make things more difficulty, you have a few seconds to answer every individual question. Get one wrong, and you're not getting the achievement. Hope you saved before the quiz.
• That One Level: The Triangle Towers in Lifecut are very unfondly remembered for taking Decoyman's Shelter exhibits level—making you explore 5 or so small shelters—and expanding it into making you explore 10 identical towers. Although they have Story Breadcrumbs (and dead bodies) in them, the legwork is mostly long and uneventful.
• Unexpected Character: The "YAMI" chapter is a Sequel Hook for Flower, Sun and Rain, so many were expecting a character from that game to make an appearance. Absolutely nobody was expecting it to be Catherine as a person, since in FSR, no indication is ever given that Catherine is anything more than Sumio Mondo's Companion Cube briefcase.
• Values Dissonance: Modern day players might be uncomfortable with how casually ableist and homophobic slurs are thrown around by the characters, but it is reflective of the time period the game originally released in where such attitudes were considered fairly common.
