* PoliceAreUseless: For some reason, in this world calling the police is not considered an option when you know [[EverythingTryingToKillYou your house is being continuously targeted by multiple psychos]] on the same night, nor said psychos will ever assume their prey would call for help and therefore give up - or opt for another easier prey. Only slightly averted in ''VideoGame/WelcomeToTheGameII'', where the police will [[DisproportionateRetribution send the SWAT to kick your door down]] [[TheLopsidedArmOfTheLaw in case you dare to hack into someone's else wifi]]. Mildly justified by the fact that the various protagonists are acting as vigilantes and always commit the crime of hacking themselves as part of their involvement in the story, but that won't still explain while they would rather get killed than arrested.
