YMMV / Who Pressed Mute on Uncle Marcus?

  • Captain Obvious Reveal: If you're even slightly Genre Savvy, you'll quickly figure out who the killer is simply by assuming it's the one character who isn't being blatantly telegraphed as the killer.
  • Genius Bonus: If you know a bit about the three possible poisons (or look them up online), you can make an educated guess about which one was used based on how easily it might be obtained and administered. Both Polonium-210 and Dimethylmercury are exorbitantly expensive and extremely dangerous to handle, requiring special equipment to prevent the killer from self-poisoning. Thallium on the other hand is relatively cheap and requires little special handling. In fact, it was common in rat poison in Australia during the 1950s and led to a "Thallium craze" of civilian murders.
  • Scrappy Mechanic: Rewatching videos you've already seen.
    • The original release of the game lacked any way to skip at all.
    • A later update added a skip feature for previously viewed videos. But making any different decisions results in later videos in the scene having a warning that it has unseen content, even if it doesn't. "Did you know he bought a gun, Mum?"note
